Bible Study 106, 'The End of all Flesh has come Before me'

in #christianity7 years ago

Gen 6 - Gen 7:6
The End of all Flesh has come Before me.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them women of all which they chose. And Yahuah said 'My ruach (spirit/essence/wind/breath) shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a 120 years.'

There were Nephilim in the earth in those days, and also after that. When the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became warriors and tyrants which were of ancient times men of infamy.

And Yahuah 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. And it repented Yahuah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And Yahuah 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 repents me tat I have made them.' But Noach found grace in the eyes of Yahuah.

These are the generations of Noach; Noach was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noach walked with Elohim. And Noach begat three sons, Shem, Cham and Yaphet. The earth also was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence. 


And Elohim looked upon the earth and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And Elohim said unto Noach '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.'

'Make you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which you shall make it of: The length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits and the height of it 30 cubits. A window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second and third stories shall you make it.'

'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 everything that is in the earth shall die. But with you will I establish my covenant, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons, and your woman and your sons' women with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 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 you, to keep them alive. And take unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you and for them.' Thus did Noach; according to all that Elohim commanded him, so did he. 

And Yahuah said unto Noach 'Come you , and all your house, into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.' And Noach did according unto all that Yahuah commanded him. And Noach was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Sort:  

Interesting that God made man's days 120 years. It was like a second death sentence after leaving Eden.

Yes indeed! It was certainly a judgement. I personally believe that this limit was not a personal life limit but the countdown until the Flood. Essentially, this is the Flood being proclaimed and it's possibly when Noach is told to begin building the ark. We do know that he preached the coming judgement to the whole world but they did not listen.

It is a sad picture of what happens when Yahuah warns us of incoming disaster. Who knows, the second judgement might come in a similar fashion. After all, Yahusha said that the last days will be 'as the days of Noach'. It is a grave warning.
