A Devotional – SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (16)


A Devotional – SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (17) 

COMMENT: Looking a little deeper! The cause of the flood that covered the entire surface of the earth, resulted; apart from the families of Adam and Seth. The families of unrighteous Cain also was multiplying. Cain went out (away) from the LORD; See Genesis 4:16-26. I want to note that the man Lamech in Cain’s family, is not the Lamech who begot Noah of Methuselah’s family who is of the Adam family. If you visit the Ark Encounter in Kentucky you will see that Adah, one of Lamech’s wives’ interviews Noah about the building of the Ark, quite clever, I believe. The wives of the believing clan of Adam, except for Eve are not known, or named.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: (Genesis) Pre-Flood
Even though we are descendants of the Noah clan, the linage from Adam survives before God as Righteous. Thus, I think it is important to retain the truth found in Genesis 3:20, when we believe in the gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ we are in the genealogy of Jesus Christ found in Luke 3:23-38. This is a worthy read if you are saved by the grace of God, at least read verses 36-38.

Now for a brief look at Cain’s family; these men were skilled craftsmen and skilled musicians. They were farmers, they also had similar names as those of Adams family. They also knew the families of Adam and were relatives. 

There is little need to know by human reasoning who God identifies in Genesis 6 as giants (nephilim). Some interpreters claim the word is associated with fallen angels, but the Hebrew word simply means “fallen one”. Anyone who has never been saved by the gospel of God is a fallen one. 

Genesis 6:1-7: (I believe) simply identifies that the fallen families of the earth were, (as God through the writing of Moses) reveals that the wickedness on the earth (at this time) was TOTAL depravity through/by SIN. The intents of the heart of unbelieving people was only to do EVIL. These folks could not even think of doing GOOD. Remember, that the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil is and still is, was the root cause of the fall of all of mankind.

Do not forget to praise the LORD for Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the EYES OF THE LORD! There is an awesome consideration here. Noah, his wife, Noah’s son, Shem, Ham and Japheth and their three wives are the last of the Adam clan. Unrighteousness is self-willed (I am my own god) given this power mankind will seek to destroy the Righteous, those whose will belongs of God (seeking do what God says).

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
