AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH
Excerpt:
When men began to increase in number on the earth and
daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the
daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of
them they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not
contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be
a hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth
in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went
to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were
the heroes of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:1-4
We often envision the Days of Noah, from a Sunday school
point of view with a sort of cute little story with the
animals boarding the Ark in pairs while Noah happily looks
on, a sort of Disney-ish-Zippity-Doo-Dah scene with singing
and dancing. Not! A careful examination of the Bible story
paints quite a different picture, more like something out of
the X-Files. If God destroyed all living things except for
Noah and his family because of Sin in the world, then we had
better all be walking around wearing lifejackets!
How long can you tread water?
THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS…
"When men began to increase in number on the earth and
daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the
daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of
them they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not
contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be
a hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth
in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went
to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were
the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great
man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every
inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all
the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the
earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said,
"I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of
the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along
the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I
have made them." Genesis 6:1-7
God looked and did not like what he saw, God grieved! His
heart was filled with pain as he declared that he was going
destroy, wipeout, annihilate mankind, and the animal
population of the earth. He saw the wickedness of mankind
and except for Noah and his family all would be
exterminated. So the countdown began and God being full of
grace and mercy gave creation 120 years of warning!
So what was really going on? What were the days of Noah
really like? What was life like before the flood?
