Considering God’s Schedule Pt-7 ~ Message 63

  This message begins looking at the 4th age of the Earth, which was during the time that Noah was in the Arc and this Description picks up with the message Description in Message 62.

    The story of Noah and the flood is one of the salient teachings in the Bible but it has become a story for children instead of recognizing the most important lesson of the flood which is God’s sovereignty over His creation and his disgust of sin.

   God gave mankind freewill to expose their heart’s desires and separate those who grieve him from those who desire to please him.  The result was that by the time of Noah the whole earth had become so corrupt that God gave up on them and decided to start over again with Noah, his family and especially chosen animals.  

   Some believe that the account in second Peter 3:5-6 is a description of Noah’s flood but that won’t fit for the following reasons.   

1. The wording in second Peter, “being overflowed with water perished” clearly indicates being rendered useless, which would have required re-creation of all life. Perish is to die, “to be destroyed, to come to nothing”.  Everything that was needed for God to start over had survived the flood and that just had to be replenished by Noah, his wife and the Animals that God preserved on the Ark.

2. The wording in Genesis 1:2, “And the earth was without form” matches the wording in second Peter, not Noah’s flood, (“without form” is lacking a definite shape or shapeless.  The mountains that were covered with water in the flood defined a definite shape and “void” is to be completely empty.  Only the people and air breathing creatures that weren’t not on the Ark with Noah perished in the flood).      

3. God told Adam and Eve and Noah the exact same thing and in same words; “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth”: see Gen.1:28, and 9:1.

The word replenish is to fill up again, refill, restock or replace.  The earth was full of beings before Adam, just as it had been before Noah.

   God would have definitely mentioned water in the sequence of events because of its importance.  Without the water This Earth would be just like all the other planets in the Solar System but more than that is the importance God puts on it in Scripture.

   From Genesis through Revelation the connection to water holds great importance.  From parting it to walking on it; From flood to drought; From catching fish to catching men; From preaching from a boat to living water flowing out from the Throne of God; From a sea of glass to a new earth with on more sea; the Spirit and the water and the blood that agree in one or of more importance where water and blood came from Jesus side unpolluted by sin.  The significance of water is undeniable.  God didn’t re-create it, it was left behind when he separated the water from the water.
