6th portion-Parshah Noach(english)

6th Portion: Bereshit (Genesis 9:18 - 10:32)

18And the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham he was the father of Canaan.

19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the entire earth spread out.

20And Noah began to be a master of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.

21And he drank of the wine and became drunk, and he uncovered himself within his tent.

22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness, and he told his two brothers outside.

23And Shem and Japheth took the garment, and they placed [it] on both of their shoulders, and they walked backwards, and they covered their father's nakedness, and their faces were turned backwards, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his small son had done to him.

25And he said, "Cursed be Canaan; he shall be a slave among slaves to his brethren."

26And he said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be a slave to them.

27May God expand Japheth, and may He dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be a slave to them."

28And Noah lived after the Flood, three hundred and fifty years.

29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.

Chapter 10

1And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and sons were born to them after the Flood.

2The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal, and Meshech and Tiras.

3And the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

4And the sons of Javan were Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5From these, the islands of the nations separated in their lands, each one to his language, according to their families, in their nations.

6And the sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

7And the sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabta and Raamah and Sabtecha, and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

8And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty man in the land.

9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord."

10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11From that land emerged Asshur, and he built Nineveh and Rehoboth ir and Calah.

12And Resen, between Nineveh and between Calah; that is the great city.

13And Mizraim begot the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim,

14And the Pathrusim and the Casluhim, from whom the Philistines emerged, and the Caphtorim.

15And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn and Heth.

16And the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Girgashites.

17And the Hivvites and the Arkites and the Sinites.

18And the Arvadites and the Zemarites and the Hamathites, and afterwards the families of the Canaanites were scattered.

19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you come to Gerar, until Gaza, as you come to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah and Zeboiim, until Lesha.

20These are the sons of Ham according to their families, and their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21And to Shem were also born [children; he was] the father of all the people of the other side [of the river], the brother of Japheth the elder.

22The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

23And the sons of Aram were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

24And Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.

25And to Eber were born two sons: one was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.

26And Joktan begot Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah.

27And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah.

28And Obal and Abimael and Sheba.

29And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30And their settlement was from Mesha, as you come to Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.

32These are the families of the sons of Noah according to their generations, in their nations, and from these, the nations were separated on the earth after the Flood.

Genesis 11

01 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech, which was called Fuckintalkin.

02 As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

03 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

04 They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth, which is just the one nonfictional continent, after all.”

05 The Earl came down to see the city and the tower, which the varmints of males built.

06 The Earl said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them which they intend to do because what they built really blows my infinite goddamn mind.

07 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech because they really need help to not understand one another.”

08 So The Earl scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the pale blue dot. No bullshit: They stopped building the city.

09 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there The Earl confused the language of all the pale blue dot. From there, The Earl scattered them abroad on the surface of all the pale blue dot.

10 This is the history of the spawn of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, which was not a bullshit age when he became the spermer of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the spermer of Arpachshad, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the spermer of Shelah.

13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the spermer of Shelah, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the spermer of Eber.

15 Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the spermer of Eber, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the spermer of Peleg.

17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the spermer of Peleg, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the spermer of Reu.

19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the spermer of Reu, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the spermer of Serug.

21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the spermer of Serug, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the spermer of Nahor.

23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the spermer of Nahor, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the spermer of Terah.

25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the spermer of Terah, and became the spermer of more male-spawns and daughters.

26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the spermer of Bill, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now this is the history of the spawn of Terah. Terah became the spermer of Bill, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the spermer of Lot.

28 Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees, while his spermer Terah was still alive.

29 Bill and Nahor married lady-spouses. The name of Bill’s lady-spouse was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s lady-spouse was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the spermer of Iscah.

30 Sarai was barren. She had no varmint, but wow could she fuck.

31 Terah took Bill his male-spawn, Lot the male-spawn of Haran, his male-spawn’s male-spawn, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his male-spawn Bill’s lady-spouse. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years, which was not a bullshit age back then. Terah died in Haran

The Families of the Nations of the World

(Sunday, July 16th 2023 A.D.)

Genesis 10:1-7

Golden Text: 5 - By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. - Genesis 10:5

We now come back to the plan of God. We must realize that God knew every good and wicked thing that was ever going to happen, even before the creation. God knew about the sin of Adam before it occurred. God knew Cain would kill Abel. God knew that the sons of God (through Adam) would marry into the daughters of man (the line of Cain) and they would be corrupted.

It is interesting to note that we men are allowing our wives to be deceived by the devil and it all started with Eve. Sure she must have been a beauty to behold, she was a direct creation of the Hand of God, as He fashioned her. But remember as Eve was being captivated, charmed and beguiled by the devil in the form of a serpent, Adam was not deceived. Adam knew that to take of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would bring death into the world. Had not God said:

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. - Genesis 2:16-17

First God told Adam (the man) that he could eat freely of every tree, but one. Adam ate of that forbidden tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God had said, thou shalt surely die. Death passed upon man by this sin.

WE men claim that it was the fault of Eve. Yet, when the evil one tempted Eve to eat, Adam did not rush over to stop her. Then when she was going to take the first bite, Adam did not warn her. Then when she did not immediately drop over grave yard dead Adam joined her in her sin and she gave to her husband Adam with her and he did eat.

God knew all this would happen. Jesus was willing to come and die for the sins of the world, beginning with Adam and continuing on to you (and me).

Then after the marriage into the line of Cain, the men of the line of Adam again lost control and then must have joined their wives in those sins and violent acts. It got so bad that it grieved God that He had made man. And God decided He had to have a new beginning. God said He would destroy all in whom is the breath of life because of their grievous sin and violence. All in whom was the breath of life perished in the world wide flood. This proved God is sovereign. This proved that at some point God would have had enough. How close are we to another intervention by God?

God knew all this was going to happen. So God chose Noah, as he found grace in the eyes of the Lord and God knew Noah would obey. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

So with His heart grieved God took out every man and all in whom was the breath of life. God, however, made a provision for man to continue on through Noah and his three sons. That is just the way God does things. We start today with the beginning of the second chance by God.

Message Text - Genesis 10:1-7

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

The generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 1st Chronicles sets forth the families of the nations, and states the lineage as:

4 - Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 1st Chronicles 1:4

This traces the line of Jesus from Adam and here is Chronicles it brings us in verse 27 to Abraham and begins Chapter 2 with the sons of Israel.

Shem means "fame" or "name." He fathered the Semitic people, which included the Jews. Scholars call the language they developed Shemitic or Semitic. Shem lived 600 years. His sons included Arpachshad, Elam, Asshur, Lud, and Aram.

Shem: Genesis 11:10 records that Shem was 100 years old at the birth of Arphaxad, two years after the flood; and that he lived for another 500 years after this, making his age at death 600 years.

Excerpts from Genesis 11:10-27– (Jewish Publication Society translation of 1917): 'Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood. ...

The Bible only mentions Shem in the Book of Genesis and again in the book of 1 Chronicles 1:4, 17, 24. Other than that Shem is not mentioned in the Bible. So, we really have very little that we can know about Shem. The rest of what you hear or read comes from other sources.

In Islam: Sunni Islam

Shem is regarded by scholars to be the successor to Noah, receiving prophetic knowledge, enlightenment, and leadership of his people. Shem was also one of the people whom God had Jesus resurrect as a sign to the Children of Israel. Early Islamic historians like Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham always included Shem's name in the genealogy of Muhammad.

Shi'a Islam

In a Shiite tradition Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq has narrated to his companions that Jibrael visited Noah close to the time of his death, relaying God's message: "Oh Noah! Your prophethood has expired and your days are complete, so look to the Great Name, the inheritance and effects of the knowledge of prophethood, and hand these over to your son, Sam (Shem), for I do not leave the Earth except that there is a knowledgeable one by which obedience to Me (God) can be recognized..."

Ham

Ham means "hot" or "sunburnt." Cursed by Noah, his sons were Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. One of Ham's grandsons was Nimrod, a mighty hunter, king over Babel. Nimrod also built the ancient city of Nineveh, which later played a part in the story of Jonah. Nimrod is believed to be the leader or one of the leaders who wanted to build the Tower of Babel.

Ham is remembered for having gone in unto Noah who apparently was drunk and naked and looked upon his father in his nakedness. Then Ham, apparently, promptly relayed that information to his brothers Japheth and Shem. Those two took a sheet and walked in backwards and covered their father and his nakedness.

Shem and Japheth received Noah's blessing because they had covered their father's drunken nakedness, while Ham, on the other hand, violated their father by looking at his nakedness. As a result, the descendants of Ham were cursed.

Ham, according to the Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis, was the second son of Noah and the father of Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.

Ham is mentioned in the book of Genesis and in 1 Chronicles as far as being a son of Noah, but the later mentions of Ham seem to be more or less pejorative (belittling, derogatory) in Psalms tells of the anger of God toward them:

51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 52 But made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. Psalms 78:51-52

Or matter of factly, as in:

23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.- Psalms 105:23

And tells of the anger of God against the people of Ham. Psalms:

Psalms 105:27 - They shewed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. (Egypt)

Psalms 106:22 - Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

The Bible has little more to say about them, except that they, especially through the children of the child of Ham, Canaan were the enemies of Israel. These Canaanites settled the land that was later the Promised Land. The Canaanite had to be dispossessed from the Promised Land. The balance of what we know is from sources outside of the Bible. One must remember that these sources are not inspired by God and may not be true or totally true.

Ham's descendants are interpreted by Flavius Josephus and others as having populated Africa and adjoining parts of Asia. The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:22; 1 Chronicles 4:40.

It is interesting to note that it was not a curse settled on Ham, but on the offspring of Ham: Canaan. Canaan would repopulate the area which later became the Promised Land for the descendants of Shem, when Joshua took the children of Israel into the promised land he had to dispossess the Canaanite.

Japheth

Japheth (Latin: Iafeth, Iapheth, Iaphethus, Iapetus) is one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis, in which he plays a role in the story of Noah's drunkenness and the curse of Ham, and subsequently in the Table of Nations as the ancestor of the peoples of the Aegean Sea, Anatolia, and elsewhere. In medieval and early modern European tradition he was considered to be the progenitor of the European peoples, while Islamic traditions also include the Chinese people among his descendants.

Again the Bible is relatively silent about Japheth. He is only mentioned in Genesis and in 1st Chronicles. Thus whatever we learn form other sources is to some part speculation and may or may not be true. So we have opted not to quote much of the speculation that is out there. Some of it is contrary to other sources. All we need know is that Japheth is a son of Noah and through his line many of the Gentile nations (not Israelite) were formed, including much of Europe from whence come many who populated North America and the United States.

2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

This is not a thing to argue with others about as there is much interesting speculation, but there are also solid differences that are not major that are set forth below for your education.

In the Bible, Japheth is ascribed seven sons: Gomer, Magog, Tiras, Javan, Meshech, Tubal, and Madai. According to Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews I.6):

Japheth, the son of Noah, had seven sons: they inhabited so, that, beginning at the mountains Taurus and Amanus, they proceeded along Asia, as far as the river Tanais (Don), and along Europe to Cadiz; and settling themselves on the lands which they light upon, which none had inhabited before, they called the nations by their own names.

The "Book of Jasher", published by Talmudic rabbis in the 17th century, provides some new names for Japheth's grandchildren not found in the Bible, and provided a much more detailed genealogy (see Japhetic).

In Jewish tradition, Abraham's wife Keturah is sometimes considered a descendant of Japheth.

Europeans

... In the seventh century, archbishop Isidore of Seville wrote his noted encyclopedic-historical work, in which he traces the origins of most of the nations of Europe back to Japheth. ...

William Shakespeare's play Henry IV, Part II contains a wry comment about people who claim to be related to royal families. Prince Hal notes of such people,

...they will be kin to us, or they will fetch it from Japhet. (II.ii 117-18)

In the Polish tradition of Sarmatism, the Sarmatians, an Iranic people, were said to be descended from Japheth, son of Noah, enabling the Polish nobility to imagine that their ancestry could be traced directly to Noah.

In Scotland, histories tracing the Scottish people to Japheth were published as late as George Chalmers' well-received Caledonia, published in 3 volumes from 1807 to 1824.

Gomer The Hebrew name Gomer refers to the Cimmerians, who dwelt in what is now southern Russia, "beyond the Caucasus", and attacked Assyria in the late 7th century BC. ...

Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth (and of the Japhetic line), and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah, according to the "Table of Nations" in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10).

Gomer,... is also mentioned in Book of Ezekiel 38:6 as the ally of Gog, the chief of the land of Magog.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I Am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Ezekiel 38:2-6

Traditional identifications: (Galatians? Cappadocains? Gauls? Celts?)

Josephus placed Gomer and the "Gomerites" in Anatolian Galatia: "For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, but were then called Gomerites." Galatia in fact takes its name from the ancient Gauls (Celts) who settled there. However, the later Christian writer Hippolytus of Rome in c. 234 assigned Gomer as the ancestor of the Cappadocians, neighbours of the Galatians. Jerome circa. 390) and Isidore of Seville circa. 600) followed Josephus' identification of Gomer with the Galatians, Gauls and Celts.

In Islamic folklore, the Persian historian Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari circa. 915) recounts a Persian tradition that Gomer lived to the age of 1000, noting that this record equaled that of Nimrod, but was unsurpassed by anyone else mentioned in the Torah.

And the speculation goes on and on. We cannot know for certain which of these they founded or contributed to greatly. There is a Truth, but since it is not set forth in the Bible, we do not need to know for certainty. I could continue on Gomer and his offspring for a couple of more pages, but you understand. Gomer is said to have peopled areas from Asia minor (Turkey) to Denmark and perhaps Wales.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomer

Magog "2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him," (Ezek 38:2)

In the Bible

Magog is often associated with apocalyptic traditions, mainly in connection with Ezekiel 38 and 39 which says to prophesy against him and his offspring. ... "Gog and Magog" over time became associated with each other as a pair. In the New Testament, this pairing is found in the Book of Revelation 20:8, in which instance they may merely be metaphors for archetypal enemies of God.

The Bible mentions Magog in a way that one will not want to be with them in the last days.

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when My people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 16 And thou shalt come up against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the heathen may know Me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Ezekiel 38:14-16

Ancient and medieval views

Josephus refers to Magog son of Japheth as progenitor of ... peoples north of the Black Sea. ... According to Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried (19th century) Magog refers to the Mongols. He cites an Arab writer who refers to the Great Wall of China with the name 'Magog'.

Javan

Long associated with Greece and the Greeks

Tubal

Associated with both a region in Asia Minor (Turkey) and some Greek lands

Meshech

Meshech is mentioned along with Tubal (and Rosh, in certain translations) as principalities of "Gog, prince of Magog" in Ezekiel 38:2 and 39:1, and is considered a Japhetite tribe, identified by Flavius Josephus with the Cappadocian "Mosocheni". Also it sounds like and some believe it is to be associated with Moscow in Russia

Tiras

A sea people who at one time were the terror of the Mediterranean Sea.

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

Controversy

Now, as you can imagine, I could be on page 30 if we took time to research and set forth each name, some would be repetition, but we find that these names are primarily here to acquaint us with the nations of the Earth. We can see clearly that all the nations come from Noah and his sons.

Verse 5 clearly sums it up by saying these were the names and founders of the Gentile lands. They were not Jewish or Hebrew (well?) but they were the ones who established all the Gentile nations. This cluster of verses ends with the understanding of the division of mankind by their various tongues. So, we apparently are to view Chapters 10 and 11 as one unit, as the Tower of Babel is in Chapter 11. By the confusion of tongues the families separated into their own nation groups.

The Family of the Sons of Noah: Moses begins the discussion of the families with Japheth's family, either because he was the eldest, or because his family lay remotest from Israel and had least concern with them at the time when Moses wrote. There seems to be little question that almost all scholars believe that Moses compiled the first five books, including Genesis. Some believe he was copying others who had written, but the majority seem to believe that God was able to supernaturally equip Moses and speak to him. Moses, being obedient, wrote what God the Holy Spirit dictated. But do not join that controversy, just continue to believe the Bible is the Word of God and we must trust and obey.

We are told the names of the offspring of Noah and his sons who were to repair and rebuild the world of mankind which the flood had ruined. God had started a new beginning.

4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for His law. 5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I Am the LORD: that is My Name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. - Isaiah 42:4-8

NEXT WEEK WE LEARN ABOUT A MOST CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE: NIMROD. Is he the one that launched the tower of Babel? Did they all believe they had figured a way to thwart God from flooding the Earth again? Can man ever outsmart God? NO! But we will try. What do you mean Brother Hughes? Well we sin regularly. WE do not obey God. We live too worldly. We take God for granted. (Ouch!)

CLOSING ASIDE: Some sins are, we believe okay. Gossip, if you are careful to slander the other person in the form of a prayer request. Pray for so and so, because now you spill out the sordid details. They are having a problem in their marriage is enough, BUT NO. You slander them by telling the details that were most likely given to you in gossip. But you justify it because it is a prayer request.

Male Teachers? Men fail and refuse to take their responsibility of being teachers and abandon that most important task to the women. Who is at fault? Mostly the men. We are like our fore father Adam we are not deceived. We know the Bible is clear that women are not to teach. But we allow and encourage it. When men avoid the calling of God (as they should be the only teachers), they (we) sin against God and our wives. God created men for certain tasks and women are totally different. The role of a wife is to be a help meet for you (man) in your ministry. What is your ministry? Do you have one? Should you have one?

Prayer: Father in Heaven. We admit that we do not love You enough as we do not keep Your commandments. You have clearly said in the Bible if you love Me, keep My commandments. The world in the day of Noah was given to sin and violence to the point that it grieved You, Lord that You had created man. How far are we in this present generation of violence and sin from Your wrath? Lord please show us. And help us, each as an individual, to be better equipped to keep Your commandments, those found in Your Holy Bible. But You Lord, always willing to have mercy, had a better plan. You saved Noah and his sons and wives. You saved pairs of all the creatures in whom was the breath of life. You saved them to begin again. You knew that we would again sin. You allowed Your Son to come to Earth, take on the form of a man, live a sinless life and then offer Himself as the Lamb, the Sacrifice, the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world. Now Lord we come to You asking You to show us and encourage us and make us more willing to do Thy will than we ever have in the past. HELP US, we pray. Then all of those who wanted that prayer answered in their life said, Amen and Amen.

11 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confusedBabel sounds like the Hebrew for confused‘>1 the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Shem’s Descendants

12 When Arpachshad had lived 35 years, he fathered Shelah. 13 And Arpachshad lived after he fathered Shelah 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

14 When Shelah had lived 30 years, he fathered Eber. 15 And Shelah lived after he fathered Eber 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

16 When Eber had lived 34 years, he fathered Peleg. 17 And Eber lived after he fathered Peleg 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

18 When Peleg had lived 30 years, he fathered Reu. 19 And Peleg lived after he fathered Reu 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

20 When Reu had lived 32 years, he fathered Serug. 21 And Reu lived after he fathered Serug 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

22 When Serug had lived 30 years, he fathered Nahor. 23 And Serug lived after he fathered Nahor 200 years and had other sons and daughters.

24 When Nahor had lived 29 years, he fathered Terah. 25 And Nahor lived after he fathered Terah 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 When Terah had lived 70 years, he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Terah’s Descendants

27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. 28 Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32 The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran.

The Call of Abram

12 Now the LORD saidOr had said‘>2 to Abram, “Go from your countryOr land‘>3 and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”Or by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves‘>4

4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oakOr terebinth‘>5 of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD. 9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.

Abram and Sarai in Egypt

10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, 12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.” 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go.” 20 And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”Or the kingdom of heaven has come near‘>1

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women‘>2 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds

23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Bereishit/Genesis, Chapter 10

929 chapter link:

https://www.929.org.il/page/10

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.' 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah--the same is the great city. 13 And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim--whence went forth the Philistines--and Caphtorim. {S} 15 And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth; 16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. {S} 21 And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah; 27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah; 28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba; 29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. {P}

God-breathed.

to instruct, to encourage, to correct, and to give hope. to illuminate the sacred treasure of grace.

this is what the Scriptures do, and a point that Paul makes in writing a Letter to Timothy with Today’s chapter that includes a warning:

And know this: in the last days, times will be hard. You see, the world will be filled with narcissistic, money-grubbing, pretentious, arrogant, and abusive people. They will rebel against their parents and will be ungrateful, unholy, uncaring, coldhearted, accusing, without restraint, savage, and haters of anything good. Expect them to be treacherous, reckless, swollen with self-importance, and given to loving pleasure more than they love God. Even though they may look or act like godly people, they’re not. They deny His power. I tell you: Stay away from the likes of these. They’re snakes slithering into the houses of vulnerable women, women gaudy with sin, to seduce them. These reptiles can capture them because these women are weak and easily swayed by their desires. They seem always to be learning, but they never seem to gain the full measure of the truth. And, just as Jannes and Jambres rose up against Moses, these ungodly people defy the truth. Their minds are corrupt, and their faith is absolutely worthless. But they won’t get too far because their stupidity will be noticed by everyone, just as it was with Jannes and Jambres.

You have been a good student. You have closely observed how I have lived. You’ve followed my instructions, my habits, my purpose, my faith, my patience. You’ve watched how I love and have seen how I endure. You have been with me through persecutions and sufferings—remember what they did to me in Antioch? In Iconium and Lystra? I endured all of it, and the Lord rescued me from it all! Anyone wishing to live a godly life in Jesus the Anointed will be hunted down and persecuted. But as for the wicked and the imposters, they will keep leading and following each other further and further away from the truth. So surely you ought to stick to what you know is certain. All you have learned comes from people you know and trust because since childhood you have known the holy Scriptures, which enable you to be wise and lead to salvation through faith in Jesus the Anointed. All of Scripture is God-breathed; in its inspired voice, we hear useful teaching, rebuke, correction, instruction, and training for a life that is right so that God’s people may be up to the task ahead and have all they need to accomplish every good work.

The Book of 2nd Timothy, Chapter 3 (The Voice)

Today’s paired chapter of the Testaments begins the first chapter of First Chronicles that describes the Family Tree on garden earth beginning with Adam, then from the flood when earth was repopulated:

[Israel’s Family Tree: The Trunk]

God created the first person, our forefather, Adam. His lineage descended nine generations until the flood: Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. Our ancestor Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. From these, three distinct nations arose.

[The Japheth Branch]

The sons of Japheth fathered the nations north of Israel. They were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 6 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Diphath, and Togarmah. 7 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.

[The Ham Branch]

Three sons of Ham fathered the nations south of Israel. They were Cush (the Ethiopians), Mizraim (the Egyptians), and Put (the northern Africans). Noah condemned Ham’s fourth son, Canaan, whose descendants we conquered. The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raama, and Sabteca; the sons of Raama were Sheba and Dedan. Cush fathered Nimrod (the first hero on earth). Mizraim fathered the people of Lud, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, Pathrus, Casluh (from whom the Philistines descended), and Caphtor. Canaan was the forefather of our eastern neighbors: Sidon (his first son), Heth, the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites.

[The Shem Branch]

Shem fathered the Semitic nations. His sons were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. Aram fathered Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber. Eber had two sons, Peleg (whose name means “divided” because the earth was divided during his life) and his brother, Joktan. Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab.

Our ancestry descended nine generations directly from Shem: Arpachshad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, and finally Abram (whom God renamed Abraham). Our ancestor Abraham, who formed our people’s initial covenant with God, fathered two sons: Isaac and Ishmael.

[The Family of Abraham]

Ishmael fathered Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

Abraham also fathered sons by a concubine, Keturah: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan’s sons were Sheba and Dedan. Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah.

Abraham’s second son, Isaac, fathered two sons: Esau (the ancestor of Edom) and Israel (our ancestor).

The sons of Esau were Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. Eliphaz fathered Teman, Omar, Zephi, Gatam, Kenaz, and by Timna, Amalek. Reuel fathered Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.

Seir fathered Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Lotan (whose sister was Timna) fathered Hori and Homam. Shobal fathered Alian, Manahath, Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. Zibeon fathered Aiah and Anah. Anah’s son was Dishon, who fathered Hamran, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. Ezer fathered Bilhan, Zaavan, and Jaakan. Dishan (son of Seir) fathered Uz and Aran.

[The Edomite King List]

These men were kings in Edom long before our ancestors reigned in Israel. Bela (the son of Beor) ruled the city of Dinhabah. When Bela died, Jobab (the son of Zerah of Bozrah) succeeded him. When Jobab died, Husham (a Temanite) became king. When Husham died, Hadad (the son of Bedad who crushed Midian in the field of Moab) succeeded Husham and renamed the city Avith. When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah succeeded him. When Samlah died, Shaul of Rehoboth by the Euphrates River succeeded him. When Shaul died, Baal-hanan (the son of Achbor) became king. When Baal-hanan died, Hadad ascended to the throne. Hadad named his city Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Mezahab. When Hadad died, the monarchy crumbled and Edom was ruled by chiefs: Timna, Aliah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel, and Iram.

The Book of 1st Chronicles, Chapter 1 (The Voice)

my personal reading of the Scriptures for Thursday, december 31 of 2020 with a paired chapter from each Testament of the Bible, along with Today’s Psalms and Proverbs

A post by John Parsons about the temporal and the eternal:

The Hebrew word for "world" or "age" is olam (עוֹלָם), which is derived from a root verb (עָלַם) that means "to conceal" or "to hide." God "hides" His face from us so that we will seek Him, and that means we must press through ambiguity to earnestly take hold of divine truth. Centuries before the time of the philosopher Plato, King David proclaimed that there was a "divided line" between the realm of the temporal world and realm of the hidden and eternal world. The temporal world is finite, subject to change, yet pointed beyond itself to an eternal world, which was the source of real significance, meaning, and life itself (2 Cor. 4:18). Therefore King David said, בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד/ bakeshu fanav tamid: "Seek His face at all times" (Psalm 105:4). Note that the numerical value for the word "fanav" (i.e., "His face") is the same as that for the word "olam." When we truly seek God's face (i.e., His Presence) we are able to discern the underlying purpose for our lives.

The ancient Greek version of the Torah (i.e., the “Septuagint” or LXX) translates this verse as, "Seek the LORD and be strengthened; seek His face through everything (διὰ παντός)." Unlike Plato, however, who "saw through" the temporal world and regarded it as less than real, King David understood that how we live within the intersection of these two realms reveals our inner character of faith -- and therefore our ultimate destiny....

Today’s Message from the Institute for Creation Research

December 31, 2020

Loaded with Blessing

“Blessed be the LORD, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.” (Psalm 68:19)

As we come to this year’s end, it is salutary for the believer to think back over the days of the year and to meditate upon his blessings. He may, indeed, have experienced defeats and losses, disappointments and injuries in great number. If he is honest with himself, however, the Christian will always have to acknowledge that his blessings far outweigh his burdens. God “loadeth us with benefits,” and is even working in and through all the trials and hurtful things together for our good (Romans 8:28).

In our text verse, the words “with benefits” have been supplied by the translators. Some might, therefore, conclude that the verse could mean that God is daily loading us with burdens instead of benefits. The context, however, assures us that the emphasis is really on His blessings. For that matter, even a burden can become a blessing if we take it as a gift from God for our spiritual benefit.

Therefore: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2). “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice” (Philippians 4:4).

He has given us “life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:25). Far more importantly, He is “the God of our salvation.” Whatever else we have, or don’t have, in this life, we have the great gift of eternal life, through faith in Christ and His finished work of redemption. We have it every day of the year and are daily ready to meet the Lord, whenever He calls. Each day we have the indwelling presence of His Spirit, the illuminating guidance of His Word, the daily provision of all real needs, and the assurance of His love. He has surely loaded us with benefits! HMM
