DEVOTION 6: “The Times of Noah” coming out of Gen. 6
Some angels stepped out of line with God. Men and women also stepped out of line with God. The two out of line creations met, creating a new generation of people, something far off from what God had originally created with His Word.
Absence of the Word of God in angels, men, and women, led to sin, chaos, and death.
Let’s read:
Genesis 6:1-4 “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
The fallen-angels (angels out of line with God) took women as wives, and made children (giants) with them. These were not in the image (character) of God. They were actually in image of Satan.
We continue our reading:
Genesis 6:5-6 “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
None was in the image (character) of God but of Satan.
We continue our reading:
Genesis 6:6-8 “And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
But one man’s heart was in line with God. God therefore made a new generation out of this one man, and destroyed everything that was not in line with this man.
When we become one with God, what belong to God belong to us, and what belong to us belongs to God. He takes care of the people in line with us because they are in line with God.
In Christ, we belong to God because Christ belong to God. We are one with God because Christ is one with God. We are in Christ when the Word dwells in us. Today, the Word dwells in us in the form of the Holy Spirit.
We continue our reading:
Genesis 6:9 “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”
Like Enoch, Noah walked with God the Word. He was in line with the Word of God. This Word of God became known to us as Jesus Christ. To Noah, Jesus Christ was the Word of God.
We conclude our reading:
Genesis 6:10-22 “And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [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 of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. [15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of : The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. [16] A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. [17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. [18] But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. [19] And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. [20] Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. [21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. [22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”
Noah was simply in line with the Word of God, and the Word brought Salvation to His home alone. The Word (Jesus Christ) became to Him an Ark.
Get in line with the Word of God. Believe and confess the Word of God (Jesus Christ) as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Word of God, same yesterday, today, and forever, in Christ!
