Since history, few families have overcome tribulation and triumph through unity like Noah's family. Genesis 6 tells us in detail what the generation in which Noah was living was. Noah was a man favored by God. God told him God's plan through him and made the 120-year ark preparations.
It rained for 40 days and nights, and water came out from the ground. And everything that breathes through the nose is dead. Noah sent beasts (crows and doves) to see if the water was going down. The crow returned and came back from round the ark, but the dove came back with an olive leaf. And since he didn't come back, he informed me that the water had gone down.
news from the crow
It was only a tidings of darkness, a tidings of death. Among them was despair and discouragement. You don't want to be the crow life of your home. I hope that you and I will be able to spread the good news of joy in your families.
news brought by pigeons
It is a message of salvation that is shown in reality when new leaves of olives are made.
A message announcing the end of God's curse and judgment
God's dreadful judgment of death has passed. The new leaf of olives was a message to announce that true peace and rest are being built in the midst of it.
The cross explains the passing of the hellish judgment of a terrible curse on the believer.
message of new life
Olive new leaves are new shoots that have torn apart tree nests and popped out. As they saw the new leaves of the olive tree, they must have burst out with exclamations of emotion inside the ark. A new life has begun in death, curses, and darkness.
The message of new hope with new leaves of olives
In fact, the olive tree is Israel's tree of hope. The psalmist speaks of the olive tree in parables. “The children who sit around your table will be like young olive trees.” The only hope of the saints is Jesus, who is the ark of salvation.
I hope that God's message like a new leaf of olives will reach your hearts today. Like the news brought by the dove, I hope that you will be the joy of God as the children of God's promise at home, at church, wherever you go.
