The Flood

Adam and Eve had not trusted God but instead listened to Satan, thus they came under his influence. Over time the generations that followed became very wicked.

`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.` (Gen. 6: 5)

God decided to destroy man and beast whom He had created all except Noah, (and his family) who found grace in the eyes of the LORD. God told Noah to build an ark and when it was finished, God brought the many animals and birds into it.

After the flood, Noah built an altar to God and offered burnt offerings of every clean animal. God received the offerings and spoke to Noah and his sons. He told them to be fruitful and fill the earth.

God also gave Noah (and man) the responsibility of governing others (rulership). God said He would require of them `a life for a life,` man`s blood which is murder. This is the highest crime, and all other crimes are under that. Man`s governing would now be accountable to God.

Noah`s family knew to worship God and what He required of them. However, it didn`t take long for `man`s evil heart` to emerge and plan wickedness.

 

Babel

The descendants of Noah journeyed from the east (Ararat) and found a plain in the land of Shinar and dwelt there. It lay between the two great rivers and was very fertile.

Nimrod, Noah`s great grandson (from Ham) gathered men together to build a city and a tower in Shinar so that they could have great fame and authority (a name) over others. This was the beginning of his kingdom.

This is rebellion against God and thus God scatters them abroad with different languages causing confusion. Therefore, the name of the city is Babel - confusion. (Babylon) Nimrod then went from there to Assyria and built Ninevah, worshipping the god of war.

Thus, we are seeing Satan influencing man against God and taking man`s worship which is due to God alone.

Eve ate of the tree and her eyes were 'opened' and i notice that God is telling Noah and his sons to go and be fruitful ...and i think, to be fruitful in this broken world is to look to man's 'wisdom and systems' to stay outside of that makes you somewhat different...maybe it takes faith to be separate from a broken world...

Hi mabel,

To be fruitful in the natural is to have children, however, to be fruitful in the spiritual is as you say outside man`s system. Good thought there and only by the Spirit of God can we be overcomers.
