* God puts a blessings upon Noah’s lineages, his 3 sons that started 3 races and they were told to replenish the earth
* What’s going on right here? God is trying to put a difference between man and animal because back then mankind used to get along well with the animals
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
* Noticed that so many things have changed. If we see this much changed already within 9 chapters, if we go to entire bible, are we going to argue that a lot of the things are the same?
* That’s why there’s a lot of false religion, cults and wrong doctrines out there because they think that the doctrines are the same from beginning to end
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
* Dont eat / drink blood, Avoid cannibalism, murder etc
* Compared to the law of Moses which have hundreds and scores of rules, God only laid down few rules here
* God had to lay down rules because if God allowed them to go by their conscience, the cycle is going to repeat again
a. Because Noah Walked With God, He Was Considered Perfect In His Righteousness
* They had to go by doing somekind of works by their own effort to obtain their own righteousness
* walking with God and obeying His commandments is a work that requires effort
* God was judging them at the best of their ability that time
* they have to do it by their own effort
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
* When Jesus died, He ended the law of righteousness
* This shows that there was a time period where people's salvation method are by man's righteousness not God's righteousness
* Their salvation plan is different from ours.
* They had to go by doing somekind of works by their own effort to obtain their own righteousness
* They had to go by this method because Jesus had not died on the cross yet where He can make a legitimate perfect official standard of righteousness for the world
* For christians, we are saved by God’s righteousness not our own righteousness
* Christians are imputeth God's righteousness by faith alone (without works) when we believe in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ (His death, buriel and ressurection) for our salvation
a. Noah Build An Altar To God And Did Blood Atonement Sacrifices
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
* So it makes sense, even though they had faith, they had to do works out of it physically because God is dealing with physical and he can't based it on spiritual things
* Today's christians we can just go by faith (spiritual) and God can deal with us spiritually because we have a spiritual nature that is alive as a result of Christ sacrifice
* During their time they never had that because when Adam sinned, the spiritual nature died, so God can't do that with them. God deals primarily by physical dealings.
* However we see that God's grace is carried from the beginning to the end (Genesis-Revelation) as He will do some sort of spiritual dealings too but he does not do everything based of spiritual dealings
* Because the spiritual nature was dead, that's why works (physical) that was their salvation system and they cannot do spiritual because the spiritual nature of man was dead
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
* The 1st keyword is “even as” Sodom And Gomorrha
* What does "even as" mean? = in a similar way, in like manner, following the example
* the context is at verse 6: its about the angels
* they follow the example of what?
* Like Sodom And Gomorrha = they had same gender sex (homosexuality)
* The 2nd keyword is “strange flesh”
* What is Strange Flesh? = different, other flesh = animal flesh
* They had sex with animals (beastiliaty)
* Because back then, they were too cuddly and because of that, there was beastiality & mess going on and because of that, God put fear among them
* If we understand all these dispensationalism doctrines, it makes sense why God does these things and it will answer all kinds of things
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
* Man does not want to divide because it says “lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth”
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
* Remember Genesis 6 before the flood? They followed the imaginations of their heart and through that became wickedness and God had to drown them all in a flood
* That’s why God had to split up the nations with different languages because God knew what was happneing
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
* this is a verse used by many to prove human intergration but in reality it actually proves segregation of physical nations
* God implemented segreagation. Why? Because Satan uses these intermingling to produce mess and the unity of man will follow the devil’s system and history will repeat again.
* Why today the world will open to the antichrist? Because they will be unified under a one world religion, one world nation and one world government
* Unity of races can never be done in a physical nation (that’s why God did physical segregation) but spiritual integration (to be unified as a spiritual nation of God) is different. All of us christians are unified as a spiritual nation of God. But because the spiritual nature is dead at this time and spiritual nation is not possible, God scatters them all out.
