    Today's Bible Reading Thursday April 28, 2022

    Old Testament: NKJV

    Genesis Chapter 6, Verses 1-22

    1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,

    2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

    3
    And the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."


    4
    There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.


    5
    Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.


    6
    And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.


    7
    So the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."


    8
    But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.


    9
    This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.


    10
    And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.


    11
    The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.


    12
    So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.


    13
    And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

    14 "Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
    15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

    16
    You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.


    17
    And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.


    18
    But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark--you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.


    19
    And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.


    20
    Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.


    21
    And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them."


    22
    Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

    Man, what kind of faith Noah must have had!!!! We know about Abraham, but not sure Noah gets his due. Maybe it is because of Noah's later history? But at that point in time, what faith!!

    Noah’s Faith and obedience was counted as righteousness making him one of only several being counted as righteous.

    I believe Abraham and Daniel along with Job were also.

    You may want to add this name to your list of righteousness

    Genesis 5

    23 and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
    24 and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

    Very interesting individual.

    You are absolutely correct. Enoch so far as I know did not have the flaws that Noah who got drunk has. Abraham lied about his wife being his sister.

    Elijah did not die II Kings 2:11 but was caught up in whirlwind to be with God. I would think he had to be righteous if God allowed him to avoid death.

    My original statement excluding Enoch and Elijah not because they were not righteous in God’s sight but because I did not read the words that they were “ declared righteous “ in the scriptures as the other four were.

    None of this post is intended to create controversy just my observation.

    No controversy created in any way.
    Abraham didn't really lied about his wife being his sister, because she was his half sister.

    Excellent point but he was afraid of being killed if he disclosed that she was his wife.

    He knew that the King may have "taken" her thinking she was his sister not wife.

    Thank you for stating the very reason why they both agreed to play the brother/sister relative card. so to save their very lives. I have heard the discourse of ' Abraham should have taken time to pray about it', yet, these same people have never faced a true life and death decision facing them head on in seconds. Does God understand these type of stumbling in our walk? the answer is very clear in this situation, if any have doubts.
