Title: The Fallen World (Genesis 06:1-7)
Content 1, the image of the fallen Adam
In Genesis 5:3, "Adam was one hundred and thirty years old, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and he called his name Seth."
Adam begat a son in his own image, in his image.
In Job 14:4 it says, “Who can bring out of unclean things what he has learned? There is none.”
Psalm 51:5 says, “I was born in iniquity; in sin my mother conceived me.”
John 3:6 says, “What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
Ephesians 2:3 says, “In which we all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like others.”
When answering a phone call from a friend of a son who is coming home, sometimes the friend of the son who made the call does not recognize the recipient and speaks recklessly.
This is the same for everyone's burden.
However, there are many similarities between the rich and the poor, not only in their voice, but also in their appearance.
In this way we come to resemble our first parents.
1), Curiosity Adam learned the tree of knowledge out of curiosity...
2), the psychological Adam who wants to do more if it is forbidden ...
3), the reason why people are more interested in wrong teaching is that in Adam's case...
4), the physical eyes of humans often blind the spirits.
5), the habit of taking care of the body even after sacrificing the soul
6), the feeling of dissatisfaction with the current situation
7), the reason why we resemble evil people more than good people
8), the examination to cover up one's fault is the skirt of the fig tree ...
9), Adam's excuse for knowing his confession as a shame...
10), Who do you resemble in your mind to pass on bad things to others?
Climbing to the top of Mount Sarami is indeed difficult, laborious and time consuming.
However, when descending a mountain, its speed accelerates and descends.
Also, the more the snowball is rolled, the more it grows.
The fall of man is no exception.
2, descendants of the fallen Adam
6:1-2 “When men began to multiply on the earth, daughters were born to them, and the sons of God saw the beauty of the daughters of men, and they took wives of all whom they liked.” Verses 4-5 The Nephilim were there, and after that the sons of God took the daughters of men and gave birth to children. They were mighty men, and they were famous in ancient times. When the LORD saw that man's iniquity was great in the world, and that all the plans of his heart were only evil
However, it will take a considerable amount of time to explain exactly who the daughters of men and the sons of God are.
Also, without a theological background, the words that cause many misunderstandings are today's words.
What I want to talk about here today is the emphasis on the relationship between the corrupted opposite sex of the time.
When Jesus spoke parables to his disciples who asked about the image of the end times, he also listed the picture of Noah's days.
Matthew 24:36039 “But that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and did not realize until the flood came and destroyed them all; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
I didn't understand =
Today, I see that there are more and more people eating and drinking without meaning in the world.
The same goes for getting married and getting married.
The expression of the daughters of men and the sons of God speaks volumes about the prevalence of dissatisfied marriages.
Verse 2 says, “… when they saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, they took all the wives they liked.”
God looked at the inner man, but people lived by the outward appearance.
J. Trapp said this.
"Beauty is a dangerous beauty, and our eyes are prone to misunderstanding. It is not safe to look down on a beautiful woman. How many people have died from wounds in the eyes! There is no means to enrich hell like a beautiful face Let's be careful that our eyes do not become the windows of evil, the guns of lust." It can be seen that this is not for the sake of fulfilling God's will, but for human enjoyment.

3, the result of the fallen Adam
Verses 6-7, “He lamented that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was grieved, saying, ‘I will sweep away the man I have created from the face of the earth, from man to cattle and to creeping things and to birds of the air, because I am sorry that I have made them.
The consequences of the fall of man made God lament.
Dear brothers and sisters, what will God think when he sees me at this time?
Is it like the heart of a mother looking down with her newborn baby in her arms?
Is it like the feeling of a father who is curious when he sees a child trying to walk even though he falls and falls over and over again?
Or is it the way Noah looked at the people who were eating, drinking, marrying, and getting married, lamenting and worrying about it?
He lamented that God had created man on the earth.
So he decided to sweep people off the ground.
Also, even the pitiful beasts and birds of the air came to meet because of the people who would strike.
Verse 8 “But Noah found favor with the Lord.”
Dear brothers and sisters, God used to stop His wrath not because of the many people at that time, but because of one or two people who walked with Him.
