Noah

( Pictures of dawn that I personally liked from the webbie,lol)



It's a fine morning today with the bright sunlight upon my head as I open the gates. With the bible in my hand,let's move onwards, starting on Human Wickedness before the story of Noah.

When the world's population had grown and daughters were being born, the men folk became more choosy. They chose only the beautiful ones. Then the Lord said," I will not allow people to live forever;they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years."

He saw that everyone on earth was wicked and how evil their thoughts were that He began to feel sorry that He ever created them. Filled with regret, He announced that He would wipe out all the people He had created, including the animals and the birds. However, there was one exception. Noah. He was pleased with Noah and decided to spare him.

He told Noah of His plans and instructed Noah to build a boat out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside out. The boat should be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. There would be a roof for the boat and a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Three decks is ample enough for the whole boat and put a door in the side. Noah was told to take his wife, sons and their wives, together with a male and female of every kind of animal and bird, in order to keep them alive. He also need to take along all kinds of food for everyone in the ark.Noah did everything God commanded.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood occurred. He was further told to take seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animals, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal and seven pairs of each kind of bird. The sign of the GREAT flood was rain that fell for forty days and nights. The water did not start to go down for a hundred and fifty days.

I fear if I would have lived then, can I believe I am not one of the chosen one spared to live? It was gruesome to think of the dark days before.Noah must have been very righteous to deserve God's mercy.
Even now the world seem to be in a mess, one way or another.If it isn't politics, it may be economic or warfares, plus other issues I have yet to mention.

I wonder what God has in store for us as the days passed by. We are all but pilgrims on earth. So temporary.
More on Noah in my next post. Need to head to work now.Laters!

The story of love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
