NOAH’S ARK

What really happened UP TO THE FLOOD?

Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Gen 9:11 never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

Covenant terms

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all

generations to come:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Sign of the Covenant

Enmity between Man and Satan

Genesis 3:14-15 So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

If you were Satan, knowing the curse that God put on you in Genesis 3:15, what strategy would you use to stop the prophecy coming true?

The spoken curse on Satan from God

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike hisheel."

1. Satan knows he’s a goner

2. He knows he will strike His heel in battle BUT

3. He knows a Man (Jesus) will defeat him

HOW CAN SATAN STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

Proposal

1. Wipe out the human race. How?

Send demons to infiltrate human DNA.

The story of how this happened is detailed in Genesis chapter 6.

Gen 6:1-8 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will not contend with man for ever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterwards — 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.5 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.6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.7 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."8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.

Our Story - Key observations

Genesis 6:1-8 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will not contend with man for ever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.“ 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterwards — 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.

Our story – The Angels

Jude 1:6-7 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home-- these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

Our story – Angels

2 Peter 2:4-6 4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell (Tartarus), putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;

What are the Nephilim?

GIANTS

Tallest Human being

Tallest Woman

Yao Defen, who measured a gigantic 7ft 8in (2.36m), At her peak, she also weighed over 31st (200kg) she died aged 40

Who are the Nephilim?

AMORITE

What are the Nephilim?

Numbers 13:33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

Deuteronomy 2:20-21 (That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. 21 They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place.

What are the Nephilim? Deuteronomy 3:11 (Only Og king of Bashan was left of

the remnant of the Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

1 Samuel 17:4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall.

2 Samuel 21:20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot — twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha.

Amos 2:9 "I destroyed the Amorite before them, though he was tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I

destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.

What really happened?

Our storyGenesis 6:1-8

5 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. 6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 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.“

Why God flooded the earth?

Genesis 6:12-14 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark KJV

Why God flooded the earth?

1. All flesh was corrupted DNA a hybrid becoming non Human

2. Through these non humans violence and only violence (evil) was on the face of the earth.

3. God destroyed it and started again

What’s so amazing about Noah?

Gen 6: 8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord. 9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteousman, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. NIV

Gen 6: 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man

and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. KJV

If you were Satan, knowing the curse that God put on you in Genesis 3:15, what strategy would you use to stop the prophecy coming true?

Wipe out the human race by interbreeding with demons thus corrupting human DNA so that THE human being (JESUS) cannot be born

Conclusion so far

Only Noah and his family were left as PURE HUMAN STOCK

God wiped out all corrupted flesh through flood

BUT

Genesis 6:4 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,

BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY
