Genesis 6:13-14 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.” Man’s violence […]
Genesis 6:11-12 “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” There is an incredible truth revealed in these verses; man’s obedience or disobedience has a direct impact upon […]
Genesis 6:9-10 “This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” Like his ancestor Enoch, Noah was one of the very few people who the Bible explicitly says, “walked with God.” Notice that immediately after this […]
Genesis 6:9-10 “This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” The reason that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord was because of what is stated here. While the rest of mankind was […]
Genesis 6:7-8 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. In the future, we understand […]
Genesis 6:5-6 “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” The way mankind is described […]
Genesis 6:4 “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” It has long been my contention that where the nefillim (“giants”) is […]
Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” That the LORD said this is to be understood as the LORD “resolved,” that as a result of the unholy unions mentioned in the previous verse, […]
Genesis 6:1-2 “Now it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” In these two verses, students of […]
Genesis 5:28-29 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years and had a son. And he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed.” From our perspective, Lamech seems to be somewhat of a prophet; he […]
Genesis 5:25-27 “Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years and begot Lamech. After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.” It used to be that anyone who lived to a very old […]
Genesis 5:22-24 “After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. For some reason that is not made clear, other than Enoch pleased […]
