mmmm
(Gen 6:8) “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations, Noah walked with God”
The Ark of Noah Gen 5 & 6 I. The Descendants of Adam (Ch 5) II. The Righteous Enoch (Gen 5:24). III. The Sons of God and the daughters of men (Gen 6:1-4.) VI. The Corruption of men (Gen 6:5) V. God Feel sorry for making men (Gen 6: 6-8) IV. The righteous Noah (Gen 6:8-10). IIV. The Ark of Noah (Gen 6:13- 22).
I. The Descendants of Adam Ch 5 How did we get to Noah. Which year was Noah born? Read Ch 5. Which year was the flood?
I. The Descendants of Adam Ch 5 Adam Seth Enos Cainan Mahalalee l Jared Enoch Methusel ah Lamech Noah
II. The Righteous Enoch Gen 5:24 Gen 5:24 “And Enoch walked with God, and he was not (found), For God took him”. Among this genealogy, there is a Man whose life History did not end by the Phrase “And he died”. We knew of Enoch’s life none than this phrase. Read Hebrew 11:1:7. Heb 11:5 “ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him”
II. The Righteous Enoch Gen 5:24 Two very important believes about the 2 nd coming: 1. The Dead people will rise again (The Creed). Read John 5:28&29 2. Those who are still alive shall be caught up with Him in the Clouds. Read (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).
II. The Righteous Enoch Gen 5:24 One of the fathers said that: “If the other genealogies represent the believing humanity that enjoyed hope in the promised coming of the savior, to transfer it from death to life, Enoch Represents members of the church, that will not experience death by the coming our lord Christ, but “shall be caught up with Him in the clouds”.
II. The Righteous Enoch Gen 5:24 St. John Chrysostom believes that Enoch surpassed Abel in his faith say: You will probably ask: How? Because despite his coming after him, yet what happened to Abel did not affect him in a bad way; he did not say to himself: what is the use of labor. Enoch was great in his faith although he had no role model to follow, yet, he walked righteously with the Lord, to become worthy of being taken by Him” Q. Name for me that one of the prophets did not die, but also was taken to heave? but also was taken to heave?
III. The Sons of God and the daughters of men (Gen 6:1-4) “ Now it came to, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and the daughters were born to them. That the songs of God saw the daughters of Men, that they are beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” Who are the sons of God & daughters of men? After Cain killed Abel, God gave Adam & Eve a son his name Seth. (Gen 4:25 & 26). Enoch was born. Seth & his descendants called the songs of God. Cain and his descendants called songs & daughters of men.
III. The Sons of God and the daughters of men (Gen 6:1-4) From Seth came Noah ________ Abraham _________ David ________ Christ. From Seth came the Messiah. The lord Blessed Noah with the same blessing that he blessed Adam. Read (Gen 9:11)
III. The Sons of God and the daughters of men (Gen 6:1-4) “ Now it came to, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and the daughters were born to them. That the songs of God saw the daughters of Men, that they are beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” Mixing with others. (The concept of separation) The stage of sins Read (Gen 3:6) SAW Coveted Took
VI. The Corruption of men (Gen 6:5,11&12) (Gen 6:5) “Then the Lord saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Isaiah 53:6) “We all like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way.” When Moses went on the mountain to get the 10 Commandments (Read Ex 32)
V. God Feel sorry for making men (Gen 6: 6-8) (Gen6:7) “For I am sorry that I have made them”. St. Augustine see in God proclamation that He was sorry that He created man, a way of modestly addressing us in our own language, in order to realize how far it became impossible to keep our fellowship with God” (Jeremiah 2:13) “For my people have committed two evils: They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water”. Pope Shenouda said “God loves the sinners, but hates the sin”.
V. God Feel sorry for making men (Gen 6: 6-8) Read (Luke 15:1&2) (Luke 15:7) “ There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine persons who need no repentance.” Ezekiel 33:9 “ Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked to turn from his wrong, and he does not turn the his way, he shall die in his iniquity”
IV. The righteous Noah (Gen 6:8-10). (Gen 6:8) “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations, Noah walked with God” The Greek word for “grace” is probably equivalent to the Hebrew word “chesed” meaning “Lovingkindness”. This word signifies divine favor or goodwill, also means “That which gives joy”. It was one of St. Paul’s favorite words
IV. The righteous Noah (Gen 6:8-10). One of the fathers said “In the middle of the darkness of this life, God always find someone…………..”. The story of Sodoms Gen 18: Noah walked with God Zackarias & Elizabeth. Read Luke 1:6. The annunciation to St. Mary. Read Luke 1:28 “ Rejoice …………..”
IIV. The Ark of Noah (Gen 6:13- 22). mmmm
1. The importance of the ark: (1 Pet 3:20) St. Ambrose “ In the great flood- in the days of Noah- all people died, except for Noah and his family… So, the outer man perishes, but the inner one is renewed. This does not only happen in water of Baptism, but also by the water of repentance, when the lusts of the flesh perish, and the spirit grows”.
IIV. The Ark of Noah (Gen 6:13- 22). 2. The Material of the Ark: St. Ambrose “ You see water, wood and a dove! Do not get confused! In the water, the body is emerged to get all its sins cleansed. On the wood, the Lord has nailed as He suffered for our sake. ……………” 3. The Dimension of the Ark: 4. The side door: St. Augustine says “ This, no doubt refers to the wound by the spear, in the side of the crucified, through which ……………………………………………………”
IIV. The Ark of Noah (Gen 6:13- 22). St. Clement of Alexandria “ God created man from dust, renewed him by water, let him grow by His Spirit, and trained him by the word of adoption and salvation, guiding him by the holy commandments, in order to turn man, born of dust, into a heavenly sanctified being, on His coming”
