Introduction
Saints are people of God. The Bible says that there is no problem in the place where people of God meet with the saints and there is nothing but prosperity in everything. Therefore, the saints who are the children of God of comfort should be able to comfort those in need and share hope with them. The coming of the Son of Man is like the days of Noah. Through the historical record of Noah, who tried to open the world of hope by spreading righteousness and godliness like the righteous sun in an era when sin was rampant and we lived a life without hope, we decided to discover the secret of victory in surviving the sufferings of the last days.
1 Earth: Noah was warned of things he could not see, so he prepared the ark of salvation by faith.
Noah built the ark and struggled to fulfill the revelation that came to him for about 100 years (Genesis 5:32, 7:6, 11:10, 7:4, 10-11). During this period, he did not indulge in carnalism and followed God's will through a godly life. Then, God appeared to him after 100 years and clearly indicated the time of the realization of the revelation he had received. It was because he was awake, because he led a godly life, and it was the result of serving God with unchanging faith to the end. Those who are warned about things they cannot see and obey them out of reverence are people of faith (Hebrews 11:7). When we have this kind of faith, we too can receive the blessing of preparing the ark of salvation through revelation in the last days.
2 Earth: We must become the lineage of faith and heirs of righteousness.
3 Land: You must not tolerate mixing with the Daughter of Man.
Characteristics of Sin in Noah's Day
The characteristics of the sin of Noah's day can be said to be carnalism, full of violence, corrupt evil, and the evil plan of the heart. So Noah was given the revelation of the ark with grace.
Why the referee came
The biggest cause of Noah's judgment is syncretism between the Son of God and the Daughter of Man (Genesis 6:1-2). The sons of God are those who live in the Lord, and the daughters of men are unbelievers based on humanism (1 Corinthians 6:15-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; Exodus 34:14-16). The sons of God are the descendants of the godly Seth belonging to God (Genesis 4:25-26), those who called on the name of the Lord, and those who were within the absolute realm of salvation under the covenant, referring to believers who honor God (Psalm 73). :15, Deut. 32:5, Hos. 1:10). On the other hand, the daughter of man refers to those who are ungodly unbelievers, those who are abandoned within their choices, those who have rejected the will of God's covenant, worldly secularism, and those who live with their backs on God. The mixture between them is the sin of sins. That sin is adultery (James 4:4), and it is a sin after the gods of the world (2 Corinthians 4:4).
conclusion
Sowing two seeds in the same field is absolutely unforgivable. The act of sowing two seeds in the vineyard (Deuteronomy 22:9), the act of tying oxen and donkey to plow together (Deuteronomy 22:10), the act of mixing wool and linen (Deuteronomy 22:11), believers and unbelievers , Christ and Belial, the union of God's temple and idols are the most detestable acts of God (2 Corinthians 6:14-16, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15, 6:15-20). This is the cause of Noah's judgment. The existence of the three women in the days of Lamech is the daughter of man, the representatives of physicalism. Adah, Lamech's first wife, means morning, decoration, and beauty; the second wife Zilla means thick and likes shade; and Naama, the sister of Tubal-Cain, has a subtle meaning, and shows the conditions of destruction with aegyo. On the other hand, the descendants of Seth are godly descendants who do not place any value on human values in this Cain line of carnal aestheticism, but are those who keep the glory of God as they are godly descendants based on their faith in the fear of God (Mal. 3:16-17, Mal 2). :15). I hope that you will fulfill this position of heir to the end and become saints who receive the revelation of the last days.
