00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Welcome to the First Apostolic 
Church podcast. 

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,960
Our church mission is to love as
God loves showing compassion 

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,440
every soul, thus winning those 
souls and equipping them to be 

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,680
sent out to plant and to 
harvest. 

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,000
Thank you for joining us today, 
and we hope that you are blessed

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:30,440
by today's podcast. 
Hallelujah, Jesus, Hallelujah, 

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,240
Jesus, bless that name. 
Amen. 

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,720
You returned to your seats 
tonight. 

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Amen. 
Please remember that the mobile 

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,240
food distribution will be taking
place this Friday. 

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,520
All right? 
That begins around 12. 

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,560
The paper says 12 to two, but 
we're not regulating necessarily

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,720
to ending time, so it can go on.
And there's been Flyers and 

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,600
stuff distributed, distributed 
here and there. 

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,840
And we have had posts, of 
course, on line that's been 

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,920
advertising that. 
I think we've had some 

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,920
interaction through Facebook 
Messenger and stuff people 

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,720
that's been inquiring about 
that. 

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,520
And someone has been replying. 
There's more than one of us on 

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,320
there. 
So I don't know who's been 

21
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,840
replying, but good job, whoever 
you are and such. 

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,520
So none the less, appreciate 
that. 

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,680
Genesis chapter #9 Again, we're 
here tonight and Genesis will be

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,960
here next week in Genesis. 
The week after that, I won't be 

25
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,200
here, but brother Zach McGee 
will be here teaching. 

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,840
And then we'll be flipping a 
format. 

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080
More than likely, I say more 
than likely, according to what 

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,080
we do next week. 
Next week we're going to try to 

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200
do some genealogies, which I 
know everybody's just like 

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440
biting at the bit at my son 
Trevor thought it was night 

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,360
tonight. 
I said no, it's not tonight. 

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,720
That's probably going to be next
week. 

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,280
And. 
He's like, oh good. 

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,560
What? 
It's the genealogies. 

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,920
He says, Oh yeah, I'm really 
troubled or whatever. 

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:08,919
Anyway, so Genesis chapter #9 
and we're going to begin reading

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040
with verse #8 I'm just read a 
few verses of Scripture, then 

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,240
I'll allow you to be seated. 
Amen. 

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Here this evening the Bible 
said, And God spake unto Noah, 

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,160
and to his sons with him, 
saying, And I behold, I 

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,560
establish my covenant with you, 
and with your seed after you, 

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,320
with every living creature that 
is with you of the fowl and of 

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,240
the cattle, and of every beast 
of the earth. 

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,960
With you from all that go out of
the ark to every beast of the 

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600
earth, I will establish my 
covenant with you. 

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Neither shall all flesh be cut 
off anymore by the waters of a 

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,600
flood, neither shall there any 
more be a flood to destroy the 

48
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
earth. 
And God said, This is the token 

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,240
of the covenant which I make 
between me and you, and every 

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,720
living creature that is with you
for perpetual generations. 

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,720
I do set my bow in the cloud, 
and it shall be for a token of a

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,240
covenant between me and the 
earth. 

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,040
And it shall come to pass, when 
I bring a cloud over the earth, 

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,880
that the bow shall be seen in 
the cloud. 

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,280
And I remember my covenant, 
which is between me and you, and

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,160
every living creature of all 
flesh. 

57
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,000
The water shall no more become a
flood to destroy all flesh, and 

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,640
the bow shall be in the cloud. 
And I will look upon it, that I 

59
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,720
may remember the everlasting 
covenant between God and every 

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,200
living creature of all flesh 
that is upon the earth. 

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,640
And God said unto Noah, This is 
the token of the covenant which 

62
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,680
I have established between me 
and all flesh that is upon the 

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,960
earth. 
It was said, it was said again, 

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,120
it was said differently. 
It was said again, it was said. 

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,240
He wants us to know this, I 
guess, Amen. 

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Want to talk about Noah's legacy
here tonight and I'll be mindful

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,160
of your time. 
Amen. 

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Father, we're thankful, Lord 
Jesus, this evening that we have

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
an opportunity and a chance to 
Lord together, together, God, I 

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,880
pray, O Lord Jesus, that your 
word, Lord Jesus, stand. 

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
God, it doesn't need propped up,
Lord Jesus, it doesn't need 

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,400
help, but Lord God, it is good 
all on its own and by itself. 

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880
I pray, O Lord, today, God 
strengthen us, our hearts and 

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,160
minds, God give us strength. 
Lord Jesus, for this evening, in

75
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Jesus name I pray, Amen. 
Everyone say Amen, you may be 

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
seated, everybody take a deep 
breath and let it out. 

77
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,200
That was more for me than it was
for you, Amen. 

78
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Just seems like it's been a 
rush, rush for the past couple 

79
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,840
of weeks, Amen. 
So God is speaking again there. 

80
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,000
This is very limited of God, of 
what we have recorded in 

81
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Scripture, of God speaking to 
Noah during this whole episode 

82
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400
of the flood, before, in the 
middle and after. 

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,360
But he's speaking. 
And yet the Bible says in verse 

84
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,840
eight that he spoke to Noah and 
to his sons, which is a little 

85
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,200
different than what we have in 
previous verses leading up to 

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,520
this time. 
All the other times it would 

87
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,120
seem like God spoke to Noah 
alone, by himself and directed. 

88
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,280
His his speech in his speaking 
to Noah. 

89
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,000
But now he broadens that circle 
of involvement. 

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,200
And he involves Noah's sons in 
what he is saying as well. 

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960
No doubt there's going to be a 
great responsibility on their 

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,200
shoulders because Dad's going to
pass, pass on, although he's 

93
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,280
still going to be with us for 
350 years. 

94
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,720
But he's going to pass on in 
this whole replenishing and 

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,280
repopulating the earth in many 
regards as going to be falling 

96
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,640
upon the shoulders of his 
offspring to continue that. 

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280
So none the less, here's God 
speaking to them all. 

98
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,160
And Noah receives from God, and 
his sons receive from God a 

99
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:47,160
covenant God makes with Noah and
his sons, the descendants and 

100
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,000
the seeds that will even come 
after them. 

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240
And this is a covenant that God 
doesn't just make with knowing 

102
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,960
his sons or with humans in 
general. 

103
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Because remember, there's only 
eight souls that's upon the 

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960
earth whenever they come off the
ark. 

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,000
So this is made with all 
humanity and those that shall 

106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,600
come or those that will be, not 
just with those that are there 

107
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,280
that day, but those that will 
come. 

108
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,280
And it's a covenant that's also 
made with the animals. 

109
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,320
It's made with the living things
according to the Scripture, 

110
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
which may seem a little peculiar
to us, that God would include 

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360
them in the covenant, but it's 
not real peculiar whenever you 

112
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,520
consider that he included them 
in the destruction. 

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440
So you know God, he's a very 
even God. 

114
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,320
You know he's a fair God. 
And so they're included likewise

115
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,200
within this covenant and all 
these living things. 

116
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,280
And he gives it just a, a few 
divisions whom this concerns #1 

117
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:40,600
namely, we know that this 
concerns humans because he 

118
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,640
speaks to knowing his sons. 
But he also specifies there in 

119
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,560
those verses that I read to you,
that the fowl of the air, that 

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,600
the cattle which our minds tend 
more to think of more 

121
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,600
domesticated type of beast and 
then the beast of the earth, 

122
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,480
that this, this covenant was 
made with Amen. 

123
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,840
Not just the destruction, but 
also this covenant and in that 

124
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:08,720
in these divisions of the human 
and the fowl and the cattle and 

125
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120
the beasts. 
Interesting, interesting. 

126
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Maybe not to everybody, but I'll
say to me, OK, I'll speak for 

127
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,400
myself. 
But interestingly, whenever you 

128
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,360
go to the book of Ezekiel and 
you go also to the Book of 

129
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Revelation and both of these are
describing times of God's 

130
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,720
presence being there. 
And there are some, you know, 

131
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,320
cherubim and seraphim that are 
there. 

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440
And the Bible speaks about 
worship that's taking place in 

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,640
these modes. 
The Bible speaks in both of 

134
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,840
these aspects. 
Not just that, but also bows or 

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,720
rainbows that are present in 
both these areas in Ezekiel and 

136
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,240
also in the Book of Revelation 
that you read of these creatures

137
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960
or these living things that 
around about the throne or 

138
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,200
around about this area where 
God's is. 

139
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360
And some of them are described 
as creatures. 

140
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800
Others are described as a 
creature with four faces. 

141
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760
None the less of the faces or 
the creatures that are described

142
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,680
in Ezekiel and both in the Book 
of Revelation chapter #4 it is 

143
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,920
the face of a human. 
It is the that of a lion. 

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,800
It's that of a calf or a ox 
according whether you're an 

145
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,240
Ezekiel or Revelation, and it is
that of an eagle. 

146
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080
In other words, all four of 
these divisions of the covenant 

147
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,600
that was made with Noah and his 
sons and these other divisions 

148
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:29,000
of a title of a wild beast and 
of a a fowl, they are 

149
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,080
represented in all these places 
where the throne and the rainbow

150
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,880
is in Ezekiel and both in the 
Book of Revelation. 

151
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Which seems a little interesting
that these creatures are there 

152
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,440
in the presence of God, even 
depicted as worshipping God and 

153
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,160
the presence of a rainbow is 
there because that which that 

154
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,320
that covenant that God made with
Noah and these divisions were 

155
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,960
I'm not going to destroy the 
world again. 

156
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,600
I'm not going to destroy it by 
water. 

157
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920
There will not be a flood upon 
the whole earth. 

158
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,640
And with that, then all these 
living things are not going to 

159
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,560
meet destruction as well. 
I know we safeguarded a 

160
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,760
selective view on the ark, but 
all of creation then is 

161
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,000
safeguarded as that. 
And so we see them in these 

162
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,720
other places. 
They're worshipping in the 

163
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,280
presence of God. 
The Bible even tells us New 

164
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,080
Testament Scriptures when it 
speaks about that. 

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,440
All of us, including creation, 
is awaiting a day for the full 

166
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,840
redemption of mankind and the 
earth. 

167
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
I know there is a certain level 
of redemption that we have upon 

168
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,680
this earth, but there is a full 
redemption of our bodies 

169
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,320
whenever the Lord comes back to 
to get His church. 

170
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,440
And there's a full redemption of
earth in itself because there'll

171
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,360
be a new heaven and a new earth 
that will come down eventually. 

172
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,760
And so the Bible even speaks 
that not only do we wait for 

173
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,960
that day, but the whole creation
does groan and travail. 

174
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,240
Is the Scripture in Romans for 
that complete redemption. 

175
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,280
The Bible says in Romans 8 and 
verse 22. 

176
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,000
For we know that the whole 
creation groaneth and travelleth

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,680
in pain together until now, and 
not only they, but all ourselves

178
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,080
also, which have the 1st. 
Fruits of the Spirit. 

179
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Even we ourselves grown within 
ourselves waiting for the 

180
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,280
adoption to with the redemption 
of our body. 

181
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,080
And so this in many ways is 
somewhat connected to that know 

182
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,440
it the the Noah covenant, Amen, 
that God made with him and with 

183
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,600
all of these other living 
things, Amen, that we're all 

184
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,440
awaiting that day. 
We have, we have a little 

185
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,320
respite, yes, because we have 
the comfort that it won't be 

186
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,680
destroyed, Amen, by water again.
But we're looking for a day of 

187
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,680
full redemption. 
And so these covenant dull 

188
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
pronouncements here in what I 
read to you, it's it's quite 

189
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,040
wearisome because it's repeated 
over and over and over again 

190
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,680
frequently. 
And God in Scripture restates 

191
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,600
the parties and he states what 
parties are involved. 

192
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,920
And he states it a little 
differently from verse from 

193
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,560
verse. 
I'm sure you picked up on it, 

194
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,240
but just in case you didn't, 
when you look at verses 9 and 

195
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
10, he talks about this covenant
being with you. 

196
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,960
He's Speaking of Noah with your 
seed after you and with every 

197
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
living creature you look at 
verse 12, he says it's between 

198
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,640
me and you and every living 
creature that is with you for 

199
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800
perpetual generation. 
So this doesn't have a, this 

200
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
doesn't have a time frame set to
it. 

201
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,360
It's not like for the next 10 
years or 25, this is a eternal 

202
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,640
covenant. 
This is a everlasting covenant. 

203
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560
This is perpetual. 
Verse 13 says it's between me 

204
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,080
and the earth. 
Verse 15 says it's between me, 

205
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,760
you, and every living creature 
of all flesh. 

206
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Verse 16 says it's between God 
and every living creature of all

207
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,080
flesh that is upon the earth. 
Verse seven. 

208
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,960
I mean, folks, this is 
redundant. 

209
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
I mean in many. 
Ways between me and all flesh 

210
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,640
that is upon the earth. 
But evidently God wanted to 

211
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,520
under score it, highlight it, 
and bold it. 

212
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Hey, this is between me and all 
of y'all all right? 

213
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,520
And it's going to last the next 
time rain comes, don't you know,

214
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,040
don't grab your timber and start
trying to construct an ark 

215
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,280
because this, this is good. 
This is going to last. 

216
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,600
And so this covenant that God 
made with them is the first time

217
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,480
that we have an idea of a 
covenant in Scripture. 

218
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,440
It's the first time for sure, 
probably Genesis 6 when when God

219
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,880
said it before talking that I 
will make a covenant with you. 

220
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,920
It's the 1st. 
Time we see this word covenant 

221
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,640
prop up in the scriptures. 
Now by many accounts, people 

222
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,880
talk about the the Garden of 
Eden with with Adam and Eve and 

223
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,000
things that took place in Edom. 
Many speak that how that and 

224
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,240
arrangements that God made with 
Adam and Eve could have been a 

225
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,240
covenant, a Adamic covenant as 
it as they often times call it. 

226
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,440
But the word covenant was never 
never used in in conjunction 

227
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,200
with them. 
But when we talk about a 

228
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,040
covenant, a covenant usually 
involves at least two parties, 

229
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,240
at least two parties and. 
And with that. 

230
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,840
There could be some stipulations
that are on each party or just 

231
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760
stipulation on one party that 
follow. 

232
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Like if you keep this, this will
happen. 

233
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,120
If you don't keep this, this 
will happen type of things. 

234
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,800
And sometimes again, the 
covenants are for a certain 

235
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360
period of time. 
Sometimes they are eternal, 

236
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,720
everlasting, Amen. 
Sometimes there's conditions, 

237
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,640
sometimes there isn't 
conditions. 

238
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,480
And So what we have here in 
Scripture, and God repeats this 

239
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,440
more than once. 
Imagine that Amen repeating 

240
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Amen. 
But God repeats and states that 

241
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,320
this is my covenant. 
He says this is my covenant, 

242
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:35,080
this is a unilateral covenant, 
this, this, this. 

243
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,440
Covenant depends and totally is 
shouldered by God. 

244
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,680
This this doesn't depend upon 
man. 

245
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,240
It wasn't like we're going to 
I'm going to make this covenant 

246
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,000
for you. 
I'm not going to destroy the the

247
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,520
land with water and every living
things not going to be destroyed

248
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,360
again. 
If you do this that that that 

249
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,960
wasn't that wasn't the 
prescription. 

250
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,640
It wasn't like you do this and 
I'll do this. 

251
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,160
No, all of this was totally 
dependent upon God, all right? 

252
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,960
It was dependent upon him. 
And what we probably don't 

253
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,480
recognize is God setting us up 
again. 

254
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Tremendously futuristic, as I 
pointed out to you over and over

255
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,880
again in Genesis thus far. 
That's something that's going to

256
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
happen in the future. 
A covenant that He has for 

257
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,760
mankind is also going to be up 
on His shoulders that Isaiah 

258
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880
would even say Speaking of The 
government shall be up on his 

259
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,440
shoulders and of His Kingdom. 
There shall be no end he's 

260
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
pointing to. 
The covenant that will come, 

261
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,960
that is another unilateral 
covenant, and God accepts all 

262
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,240
the responsibilities of this 
covenant. 

263
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,600
He doesn't place at this time 
any expectations. 

264
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Upon man concerning this 
covenant, and whenever you begin

265
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,360
to think about that, concerning 
the history we have with man 

266
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,640
thus far, what type of 
expectations could he really 

267
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,840
expect of man? 
Let's just recall Genesis Six 

268
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,680
and five. 
This is BF. 

269
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,680
Before the flood. 
I know I I, I took me. 

270
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,240
Weeks to come up with it, but. 
And God saw that the wickedness 

271
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,120
of man was great in the earth, 
and that every imagination of 

272
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,640
the thoughts of his heart was 
only evil continually. 

273
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,160
BF right AF after the flood. 
You saw it coming, didn't you? 

274
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Genesis 821 And the Lord smelled
the sweet savour, and the Lord 

275
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,040
said in his heart, I will not 
again curse the ground anymore 

276
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,480
for man's sake, for the 
imagination of man's heart is 

277
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,080
evil from his youth. 
Before the flood, After the 

278
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600
flood, what can God really 
expect? 

279
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,600
What can he really expect from 
man? 

280
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,600
He can't expect perfection from 
man. 

281
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,720
That's not there, nor will it 
ever be. 

282
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,080
So when we start looking at man,
what what what can God really I,

283
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,800
yeah, I believe God can't 
expect, you know, some things of

284
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,080
us, but there are some things 
that are beyond the realm of 

285
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:07,880
what man can give because of his
nature, because of who he is, 

286
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,040
because of this element of sin 
that came in in the garden from 

287
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920
the very beginning. 
And so when we look at the Noah 

288
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,680
covenant or the Noah covenant, 
it is a unconditional covenant. 

289
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,920
There is there is no ABC section
C from mankind. 

290
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,160
It is a everlasting covenant. 
And we know from Scripture that 

291
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,920
it is sealed with a token or 
with a sign, Amen, that this 

292
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,400
covenant is sure this covenant 
is real. 

293
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,000
He said to them, what did he 
say? 

294
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,040
You know that he said, I'm going
to put my bow in the cloud. 

295
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,840
I'm going to put my bow in the 
cloud and I'm not going to flood

296
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,720
the earth and I'm not going to 
for sure flood it over all to 

297
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,360
the degree of just totally 
destroying and decimating all of

298
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,200
the animals and the world and 
the living things, he says. 

299
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,120
I'm going to put that bow in the
cloud. 

300
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Is the token the seal that? 
This covenant is sure, this 

301
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,520
covenant is good that you could 
depend upon this covenant. 

302
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,720
The Hebrew word for bow in 
Scripture, of course, is what we

303
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,319
understand to be rainbow, right?
Matter of fact, I was just 

304
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:12,920
driving home. 
I don't remember. 

305
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,400
It was just one day, just this 
week when it was pouring down 

306
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,160
rain. 
I know it was. 

307
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,079
It was yesterday. 
Yeah, cuz I drove in the rain to

308
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:20,800
go to the airport and Saint 
Louis. 

309
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,359
Bad, bless the. 
Lord. 

310
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,000
But none the less as I came back
home after getting gas, there 

311
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,320
was a bow in the cloud over in 
our neighborhood that I saw. 

312
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,560
And we understand that is 
rainbow, but normally this same 

313
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,440
Hebrew word, normally it refers 
to a warrior's bow. 

314
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,480
And so as we see the rainbow in 
the sky, there is another shade 

315
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,040
to this, that what we have is 
really a visual of God hanging 

316
00:17:54,040 --> 00:18:03,040
up his battle bow of judgement 
that He has had toward mankind. 

317
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,360
He says you'll see my bow 
because notice, he says more 

318
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:12,680
than once, my bow in the cloud. 
I'm, I'm hang. 

319
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,640
I'm suspending judgment for you 
for now. 

320
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,960
My bows hanging right there for 
now. 

321
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,880
So to speak and so know us all. 
Interestingly enough, know us 

322
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,080
all. 
The bow in the cloud after the 

323
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,640
storm in the book of Ezekiel, 
when we read about the presence 

324
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,000
of the Lord and the bow that 
shows up in there and the 

325
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,520
creatures that are there, 
Ezekiel sees the bow in what 

326
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,400
would in essence be in the midst
of the storm. 

327
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,360
When you get to the Book of 
Revelation, all of that is 

328
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,720
pictured before judgement kicks 
loose. 

329
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,600
So in essence Bishop they saw 
the bow, or in the Book of 

330
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,360
Revelation is depicted that the 
bow was. 

331
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:05,640
Seen before the judgement or 
before the storm, so. 

332
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800
God is so gracious that whether 
you're in the storm, before the 

333
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
storm, or after the storm, He's 
wanting us to know that there is

334
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,840
a covenant that He is made with 
mankind in his book, Walter 

335
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Lewin, his book. 
The love of. 

336
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Physics. 
It says this. 

337
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,880
For you to see a rainbow, three 
conditions need to be met. 

338
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,680
First, the sun needs to be 
behind you. 

339
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,960
Second, as a matter of fact, 
next time you see a rainbow, 

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
turn 180° and you'll see where 
the sun is. 

341
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Number 2, there must be 
raindrops in the sky in front of

342
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,680
you. 
This could be miles in front of 

343
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,800
you or just a few yards in front
of you. 

344
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Thirdly, the sunlight must be 
able to reach the raindrops 

345
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,440
without any obstruction or 
obstacles such as clouds. 

346
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
It's got to be able to penetrate
the raindrop. 

347
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,960
With all that said, I believe 
that is nothing more but a 

348
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,560
perfect picture of God's 
involvement in our lives. 

349
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,280
Because the SON, his light must 
be behind you. 

350
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,200
And although the remnant of your
storm may. 

351
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Still yet be before you none the
less, whenever he breaks through

352
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,320
the clouds, and he and any other
obstacle that may be there, 

353
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,040
he'll affirm to you and I by the
bow in the cloud of his 

354
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,120
unshakable covenants. 
Amen. 

355
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,600
Before us, it appears that each 
covenant that God makes in 

356
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,720
Scripture, and there are few 
that he's always sealed them or 

357
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,520
given a token or a sign a 
company in them. 

358
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,760
We have with Noah, of course, 
the bow and the cloud. 

359
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,600
We come go to Abraham, all 
right, and the covenant with 

360
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,440
Abraham becoming part of the 
Jewish people, it's sign or seal

361
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,000
and token with circumcision 
whenever you come to Moses. 

362
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,280
And the law Amen that one of 
their covenant seals was. 

363
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,440
The week, the weekly Sabbath it 
was. 

364
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,480
It was a depiction of them 
having kept that which was 

365
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
granted to them of the law. 
It was the weekly Sabbath that 

366
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,880
was a seal or a sign. 
Another covenant. 

367
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,520
When we come to the the David 
covenant, it was, he says, I'll 

368
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,360
set one of your seed upon the 
throne to be a eternal king. 

369
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:22,920
It was a kingship or a kingship 
dynasty. 

370
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:25,200
That was the seal or the sign of
the covenant. 

371
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,280
When we get New Testament 
scripture, though, there is 

372
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,200
still a covenant and there's 
still a sign and there's still a

373
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,320
seal. 
Amen. 

374
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,160
We can see the bow, the 
circumcision can be observed. 

375
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,560
The weekly Sabbath can be the 
dynasty. 

376
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,680
All these things can be observed
when we come to New Testament, 

377
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,320
right? 
He spoke of it in in the book of

378
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Isaiah, I believe it was, or 
Ezekiel rather, talking about 

379
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840
that those laws would no longer 
be written on a heart of stone, 

380
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,200
but a heart of flesh, right? 
Amen. 

381
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:00,600
And in the new covenant, which 
is our Spirit baptism being 

382
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,920
covenant in covenant with God, 
there is still a sign in the 

383
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,480
seal and the token of that 
covenant, Amen. 

384
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,840
Evidenced by speaking in other 
tongues as the Spirit gives the 

385
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,880
utterance, as Roman says, we are
sealed with a seal of 

386
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,000
righteousness, Amen. 
According to our faith, Amen. 

387
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,640
This occurs, it happens. 
And so all of these covenants, 

388
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,000
starting with knowing going 
forward, Amen. 

389
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,080
In the Scripture, all of them 
are fulfilled in Christ Jesus. 

390
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,840
All of them are fulfilled in 
Christ Jesus. 

391
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:35,160
If you would even consider Adam 
in the end and Eden a covenant 

392
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,720
type of mentality that is still 
fulfilled in Christ Jesus. 

393
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,440
If you're talking about how the 
seed of the woman would give 

394
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,800
birth to one that would, that 
would bruise the head of the 

395
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,720
seed of the serpent, then that's
pictured in Christ Jesus. 

396
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200
Jesus Christ fulfills the Adamic
covenant, Amen. 

397
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,440
We have seen then also the first
Adam, all right, but in Noah, he

398
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,200
is almost like a second Adam 
because we have this whole 

399
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,200
recreation thing, right? 
The young creation, then the 

400
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,840
recreation, we have this whole 
thing and Noah's almost like a 

401
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,120
second Adam, Amen. 
Pictured here in the book of 

402
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:13,200
Genesis chapter #9 But with that
is the case, we have the first 

403
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,640
Adam. 
We have no, which is almost 

404
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,560
pictured after the flood is the 
second Adam. 

405
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,000
But then in the New Testament we
have what is called the last 

406
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,480
Adam and that's pictured again 
by the Lord Jesus Christ because

407
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,680
he did what Adam couldn't do. 
He did what Noah could not do 

408
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,320
and accomplish and nations, the 
Bible says all nations according

409
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,800
to the Abraham covenant, all 
nations were to be blessed by 

410
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,360
the descendants of Abraham, 
right? 

411
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,840
He says I'll curse those that 
curse you, I'll bless those that

412
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,200
bless you all, all the nations, 
all the people will be blessed 

413
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,680
room by you. 
And that would happen by 

414
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,120
miraculous birthright. 
Abraham and Sarah late, late, 

415
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,440
late in life, they're given 
birth to an Isaac and because of

416
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,080
that miraculous birth, given 
birth to then some other boys 

417
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,000
that then goes into 12 tribes. 
And then we have nations being 

418
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,960
blessed. 
So we have all nations being 

419
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,560
blessed, but it's depended upon 
a miraculous birth that's 

420
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,880
fulfilled in Christ Jesus, a 
miraculous birth of a boy inside

421
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,320
of a Virgin Mary being born, 
coming forth for the blessing of

422
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,640
all nations, Amen. 
And so then likewise, when we 

423
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,760
see the Mosaic covenant, Amen. 
Here is the law. 

424
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,000
They got to keep the law. 
If you don't keep the law, 

425
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,920
here's the penalty of the law in
the man Christ Jesus, Amen. 

426
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,920
He was tempted in always, like 
you and I are, but he was 

427
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,080
without sin. 
He kept the law, but he also 

428
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,760
subjected himself to suffer the 
penalty of the law. 

429
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,800
And then at Calvary, he 
absolutely fulfills that 

430
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,120
covenant. 
And concerning the David 

431
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:56,240
covenant, Amen. 
Here is a king of the line of 

432
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,520
David that will have an 
everlasting Kingdom, Amen. 

433
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,000
Jesus Christ is in the lineage 
of David and his Kingdom knows 

434
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,480
no end, Amen. 
It's all in Jesus Christ. 

435
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,320
He's the one that redeems us in 
the new covenant, that promises 

436
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,520
a new heaven and the new earth. 
Jesus Christ, from beginning to 

437
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,040
end, fulfills all covenants. 
So that means every covenant, 

438
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,760
you come to the script, you know
what it's doing. 

439
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,680
It's pointing toward Him. 
We look at them as just isolated

440
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,280
things in an era of time, but 
they supersede time. 

441
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,160
They're pointing toward Him. 
Even here in Genesis chapter #9 

442
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080
Jesus attested to this himself 
in many regards. 

443
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,240
The book of Luke chapter 24 and 
verse 44, these are Jesus words.

444
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,720
And he said unto them, These are
the words which I spake unto you

445
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,440
while I was yet with you, that 
all things must be fulfilled, 

446
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:58,240
which were written in the law of
Moses and in the prophets, and 

447
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,840
in the Psalms concerning me. 
He says these things are going 

448
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,280
to be fulfilled, those things 
that were written in Moses, law 

449
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,160
and the prophets, and they were 
all about me. 

450
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,080
Yeah. 
You can find Jesus in the Old 

451
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,800
Testament Scripture. 
They're speaking about him, 

452
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,320
though his human lifetime has 
not yet begun, but they're 

453
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,280
pointing to him for one. 
That's one reason why it's still

454
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,160
very important to study and read
the Old Testament. 

455
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,640
All right, If Jesus himself said
all these things were talking 

456
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,560
about me, If you don't, you're 
missing the some. 

457
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,320
What's being said about him? 
Amen. 

458
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,200
For that matter, almost anything
that we have quoted in the New 

459
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,400
Testament Scripture, you know 
what? 

460
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,840
It is not the New Testament, the
Old Testament. 

461
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,720
We have these only New Testament
people. 

462
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,680
If you're only New Testament 
people, everybody out in the 

463
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,120
www.world, then you better 
extract all of those quotations,

464
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,560
which are many that's in the New
Testament. 

465
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,280
Of the Old Testament. 
Amen. 

466
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480
John chapter 5 and verse 39, 
Jesus says again, search the 

467
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,560
scriptures. 
What's what scriptures? 

468
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,560
What scriptures in John? 
What are the scriptures in John?

469
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,000
Do we have the New Testament 
yet? 

470
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,840
Nope. 
So what are the scriptures? 

471
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,560
The scriptures are those 
scriptures that are back that 

472
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,560
direction in your Bible, right? 
He said search the scriptures 

473
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,160
for him. 
Then you think you have eternal 

474
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,040
life. 
And they are they which testify 

475
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,720
again of me. 
Matthew 517 Jesus speaking 

476
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,040
again, Think not that I'm come 
to destroy the law or the 

477
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,200
prophets. 
I'm not come to destroy, but to 

478
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,560
fulfill. 
And He did. 

479
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:53,680
Even with the fulfillment of 
each covenant of the Old 

480
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,640
Testament, He was fulfilling the
law. 

481
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,800
Let's go on with verse #18 and 
I'll read until the end of this 

482
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,000
chapter. 
OK. 

483
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,760
And the sons of Noah that went 
forth of the ark were Shem, Ham,

484
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,560
and Japheth. 
And Ham is the father of Canaan.

485
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,520
These are the three sons of 
Noah. 

486
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,840
And of them was the whole earth 
overspread. 

487
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,800
And Noah began to be a 
husbandman, And he planted a 

488
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,640
vineyard, and he drank of the 
wine, and was drunken, and he 

489
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,080
was uncovered within his tent. 
And Ham, the father of Cain, saw

490
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,360
the nakedness of his father, and
told his to brethren without. 

491
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,120
And Shem and Jacob took a 
garment, and laid it upon both 

492
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440
their shoulders, and went 
backward, and covered the 

493
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,040
nakedness of their father. 
And their faces were backward, 

494
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640
and they saw not their father's 
nakedness. 

495
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,920
And Noah woke from his wine, and
knew that his younger son, and 

496
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,400
knew what his younger son had 
done unto him. 

497
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,160
And he said, Cursed be Canaan, a
servant of servants shall he be 

498
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,200
unto his brethren. 
And he said, Blessed be the Lord

499
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,720
God of Shem, and Canaan shall be
his servant. 

500
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,360
God shall enlarge Japheth, and 
he shall dwell in the tents of 

501
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Shem, and Canaan shall be his 
servant. 

502
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,720
And Noah lived after the flood 
350 years, and all the days of 

503
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,240
Noah were 950 years, and he 
died. 

504
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,720
So we know just from the verses 
I read earlier that there is 

505
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,120
still this human fallibility. 
It's it's not checked out, it's 

506
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,480
not been erased. 
There's still human error. 

507
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,360
There's still human sin still 
takes place after the flood and 

508
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120
it continues. 
It continues forward. 

509
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,680
And in some measures we might 
even say it's grown much worse 

510
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,920
maybe than what it was, or maybe
it's just more noticeable than 

511
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
what it was. 
But we continue forward after 

512
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,000
the flood again with that 
recreation picture, right, of 

513
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
land appearing again and 
vegetation happening again. 

514
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,880
And here's man in the first 
family again, all after the 

515
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,440
flood. 
And so we know the imaginations 

516
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,000
of the harder evil and all this.
We understand that. 

517
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,600
But there is also a similar 
picture after the flood, a 

518
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,440
similar picture of mankind 
before and after the flood in 

519
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,040
some details as well. 
Remember, before the flood, 

520
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Adam, he's, he's dressing the 
garden. 

521
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,480
He is in essence a farmer, which
seems to be something that that 

522
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,680
there's a passing down of 
through the lineage, but he is a

523
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,440
farmer. 
He is a keeper of the garden. 

524
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,040
After the flood, Noah is a 
husbandman, he is a farmer. 

525
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,400
Now there's been some time 
elapsed, no doubt, since they 

526
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,000
come off the ark because Noah's 
had time, the planted vineyard, 

527
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,440
the vineyard to grow. 
And I read that you can go from 

528
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,680
planting to wine in about three 
years. 

529
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,440
So there's some time that has 
elapsed that's taking place. 

530
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,120
But in all of this here, these 
verses after the flood are 

531
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,600
picturing, if you will, the fall
of Noah. 

532
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,520
He's drunk and uncovered in his 
tent. 

533
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,960
Reason why I say this is before 
the flood with Adam, it was a 

534
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:30,160
type of vegetation, a tree that 
ushered him into his fall. 

535
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:37,120
After the flood, it's a sort of 
vegetation, a vineyard that 

536
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:43,560
ushers Noah in to his fall. 
Furthermore, if you look at 

537
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,280
verse #21. 
Here's Noah in his his his tent.

538
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,040
He's uncovered, he's uncovered, 
he's drunk and his his state of 

539
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,920
awareness is compromised. 
Or maybe even not even. 

540
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Available at all at this moment 
in time, but none the less he is

541
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,480
naked and if I could say and 
unaware. 

542
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Does that sound similar to 
something But in verse #24 

543
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,640
whenever he has awoke or come 
out of this stupor, a man that 

544
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,640
he is now there and his eyes 
have been opened, so to speak. 

545
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,680
So there's a lot of these 
parallels from before and after 

546
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,960
the flood. 
And there's there's even more 

547
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,160
that you could look at. 
You could look at even him 

548
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,520
coming in and seeing his 
father's nakedness and almost 

549
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,800
delighting it to the place that 
he shared it with others, 

550
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,240
compared with Eve looking at the
tree and the lightning it and 

551
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,840
then sharing with her husband. 
You. 

552
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,680
There's a lot of different 
imagery here before and after 

553
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Amen, the flood that you see 
this recreation of a pattern 

554
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,240
Amen, that's taken place in 
Scripture. 

555
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,240
So there's a lot of layers to 
that that you can just 

556
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,640
investigate on your own time in 
verse #21 the Bible speaks about

557
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:03,040
Noah being uncovered or that he 
lay uncovered. 

558
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Scholar says that this is 
reflective this this means that 

559
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,040
Noah uncovered himself. 
It's not that Ham did or anybody

560
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,560
else did, but Noah had done this
himself, and that seems very. 

561
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,520
Understandable, because Noah's 
in a drunken state, and 

562
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,760
sometimes, from my 
understanding, you do some 

563
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,760
things that you just would not 
otherwise do had you not been 

564
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,400
drunk. 
But the importance is, notice 

565
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,800
the difference between Ham's 
reaction all right, and Shem and

566
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:38,200
Japheth's reaction when they 
learn each of these groups learn

567
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,760
of their father's nakedness, 
him. 

568
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,640
Now let's get this right 
pictured in your mind. 

569
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,120
Sorry I didn't set up a tent and
grab a blanket and all that 

570
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,120
stuff. 
The picture, this Noah is in his

571
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:58,080
tent, he's within drunk and 
uncovered him evidently goes 

572
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,920
into this private space and 
witnesses his father's nakedness

573
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,800
and then goes and tells his 
brothers that are on the outside

574
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:18,280
of the tin. 
So Ham's response to his 

575
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,800
father's nakedness is, well, 
look at that. 

576
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Let me go tell the boys about 
it. 

577
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Jim and Japheth's reaction to 
learning about their father's 

578
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,840
nakedness, not seeing it, just 
hearing about it. 

579
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,080
Let me say that one more time, 
not seeing it, but just hearing 

580
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,520
about it. 
They go into this private space 

581
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,679
from the public space where they
heard it with a garment on their

582
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:54,199
shoulders, and they walk in and 
they cover up their father's 

583
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:58,000
nakedness and don't see it with 
their own eyes. 

584
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,880
They just go off what they have 
heard. 

585
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
This is very important. 
Father naked. 

586
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,760
Yeah. 
Well, in the Near Eastern 

587
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,400
culture, and as years go 
further, further back and back, 

588
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,440
you would find that children had
a higher respect for their 

589
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,320
parents for sure than they do 
today. 

590
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,960
I'm talking about in Near 
Eastern culture even. 

591
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,720
But respect for your parents and
showing that respect even when 

592
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:25,720
they are in their mistaken 
states was important. 

593
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:31,320
It was paramount to to to do 
this and and to protect us the 

594
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:37,120
wrong word, but to still honor 
them even when they may be in a 

595
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,200
dishonorable position. 
All right. 

596
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:48,200
And so, though Noah is the one 
who has has compromised himself 

597
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:54,200
with with wine and has been 
naked then and drunkenness, Ham 

598
00:35:54,200 --> 00:36:02,120
in reality owes his father the 
latitude to make a mistake 

599
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:09,880
without exploiting his failure. 
Let that sink in for a little 

600
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,560
bit. 
Because the generation we live 

601
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:21,200
in is all about exploitation, is
all about setting as a bird on 

602
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,280
the line waiting for the 
failure. 

603
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:29,160
And if we can even somehow help 
'cause it without it being 

604
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,400
known, then we want to 
capitalize on that and be a ham 

605
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,320
that goes and tells somebody 
else. 

606
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,360
Please understand again, what 
Noah had happened took place in 

607
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:47,480
private, but Ham made it public.
Ham. 

608
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,360
Could have walked into the tent 
and discovered the nakedness of 

609
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,480
his own father, and just as 
quickly as Saul had covered his 

610
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,080
own eyes and found what he could
have found to cover up, Dad left

611
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,240
the tent and never said even a 
word to Shim and Japheth or 

612
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,280
anybody. 
Else. 

613
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,880
And in doing so, he would have 
taken a private matter and left 

614
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,200
it a private matter. 
But instead he took a private 

615
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,320
matter and made it a public 
matter. 

616
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:25,560
Oh, someone say glory. 
See, some of us relish in the 

617
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:33,040
mistakes of others. 
Verse 21 Noah's within the tent.

618
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,640
Verse 22 Shem and Japheth. 
Are without the tent. 

619
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,880
So once. 
Amen. 

620
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,360
Ham Ham's not like our dear 
Psalmist David that we'll see 

621
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,560
later that the Bible says 
whenever a Saul and his son 

622
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Jonathan are taken in the in the
war on Mount Gilboa. 

623
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,200
That David is lamenting and 
crying and saying, oh, how the 

624
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:00,000
mighty have fallen. 
He's grieved by what's happened,

625
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Ham. 
His interest is piqued and he 

626
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,120
can't. 
Oh, how many times have you ever

627
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,240
heard? 
I just had to tell somebody. 

628
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,440
Or let's get the phraseology 
right. 

629
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:21,240
I shouldn't say anything to you 
about this, but Sister Sam, I 

630
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,040
wouldn't just tell anybody this,
but. 

631
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,440
Well, me saying that number one,
I don't need to be telling you, 

632
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,360
but when I tell you I wouldn't 
tell anybody else but you, then 

633
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:38,040
you feel special. 
Because you're so important, you

634
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,760
should be Privy to this 
information. 

635
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,520
I won't share with anybody else 
but if they told you that, 

636
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,600
guarantee they told five other 
people the same. 

637
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:55,560
I shouldn't be telling you this 
but well glory someone say Amen.

638
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,600
So him saw his father's negative
but he could not leave it at 

639
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,280
that. 
Side note here on this telling 

640
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,840
and not telling private and 
public stuff, we are still tale 

641
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:15,520
bearers and gossips when the 
tell we tell and the information

642
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,160
we share is accurate. 
You hear me? 

643
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,840
Tale bearing isn't about just 
saying something false about 

644
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,680
somebody else. 
Gossip isn't just about 

645
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,800
spreading something false or 
inaccurate about somebody else 

646
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
when you share something 
accurate. 

647
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,800
A failure. 
It's still a gossip and it's 

648
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:44,920
still a tale. 
As long as we think that it's 

649
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,400
accurate, then it's OK to share.
Well, let's open up your life 

650
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:58,580
and start sharing. 
If we can tell all things that 

651
00:39:58,580 --> 00:40:00,860
are accurate, let's open up your
life then and start sharing. 

652
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,760
It doesn't always work this way,
but to the to the best of my 

653
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,600
ability and I don't always get 
it right. 

654
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,960
But as a pastor, there are 
things that have happened 

655
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,720
through the series of my years 
here that when they've been 

656
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:17,560
private matters. 
I've tried to read. 

657
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,560
There's things in here none of 
you know that only I know. 

658
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,360
And I'll go to my grave with 
because I'll keep a private 

659
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,840
matter, a private matter if it's
public. 

660
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,800
A lot of times you got to deal 
with stuff in a public fashion, 

661
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:39,280
and I hate that, but it's the 
nature of the setting. 

662
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,720
Amen. 
If if Noah was outside of his 

663
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,600
tent, just under the stars, 
well, probably the probably the 

664
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,760
other seven individuals or 
however many was at that time, 

665
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,720
three years removed are are 
going to be Privy to it. 

666
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:02,720
But within the tent, him was 
Noah's responsible for his 

667
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,240
failure. 
Am's responsible for everybody 

668
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:14,640
else knowing about it, some Jew.
They, the Bible says in verse 

669
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,120
23, they took a garment in the 
Hebrew. 

670
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,760
There's the definitive article 
there of the garment. 

671
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,320
They took the garment laid upon 
their shoulders and went in 

672
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,840
backward and laid it upon Noah. 
And I'm just going to touch on 

673
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,760
this barely just enough to spike
your interest, but some Jews 

674
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,360
believe in Jewish teachings are 
that the garment that they put 

675
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,520
upon Noah was Noah's garment. 
And it's actually something that

676
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,080
they believe was handed down 
through generations, even from 

677
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,400
Adam. 
This is just a Jewish, this is 

678
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Jewish thought process. 
You didn't even ask for the lane

679
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,720
on this one. 
None the less that the coat that

680
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,680
God made for Adam and Eve, they 
believe this was the garment 

681
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,640
that Noah had that whenever Adam
had the animals come before him 

682
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,320
be able to name him, it was due 
to that coat that he had. 

683
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,120
And then that Noah having the 
same garment perhaps caused the 

684
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
drawing of them for the pudding 
on the ark. 

685
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,160
We follow this coat even to Esau
and stuff through through Jewish

686
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,840
mindset, but nonetheless they 
believe perhaps a man could have

687
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,280
been even Adams nonetheless Shem
and Japheth regardless the the 

688
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,560
the Jewish ideas. 
Ishim and Jacob though resembled

689
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,280
God's actions and resembled the 
heavenly much in going in and 

690
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,200
covering the nakedness of their 
Father. 

691
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,400
Because God covered the 
nakedness of Adam and Eve, they 

692
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:44,760
were emulating God in their in 
their practice of covering the 

693
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,400
nakedness of another. 
The Bible says in first Peter 

694
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,240
4:00 and 8:00 and above all 
things, have fervent charity 

695
00:42:54,560 --> 00:43:01,520
among yourselves, for charity 
shall cover the multitude of 

696
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:06,440
sins. 
Charity love covers a multitude 

697
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,240
of sins. 
Look, if you will, I won't hold 

698
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,320
you much longer, but long 
enough. 

699
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,840
Amen. 
All right, verses 18 and 22. 

700
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,880
This is really peculiar in the 
setting of Scripture. 

701
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,240
He's talking about Shem, him and
Japheth, and then he wants to 

702
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,520
follow back up and tell us in 
like verse 18 that him is the 

703
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,600
father of Canaan. 
And then it says a little 

704
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,120
further down about him is the 
father of Canaan. 

705
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:37,520
And then whenever Noah, which is
the the only recorded words we 

706
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,280
have of him through all this 
stuff is his curse. 

707
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:50,040
Cursed be Canaan, not him, but 
the one who walked in and seen 

708
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640
these negatives. 
But cursed be Canaan. 

709
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,720
And so what's the big deal? 
You saying? 

710
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,240
Well, him is him is the the 
father of of of Canaan. 

711
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,440
Well, he was the father of more 
than Cain. 

712
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,240
And why just pick out Canaan? 
He was the. 

713
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:06,320
Father of many others. 
We'll get into that next week in

714
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,120
Genealogy 10. 
All right, Amen. 

715
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,720
We have this whole scenario 
here. 

716
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:17,160
There's others as well, but Cain
is explicitly named Year. 

717
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,240
The Bible says that whenever 
Noah realized what what had 

718
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:26,120
happened that he curses Canaan, 
him son, and then follows some 

719
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:32,040
blessings upon him and blessings
of enlargement upon Japheth. 

720
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,200
And so when we see this Noah's 
life here, because evidently 

721
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:42,600
there was nothing more 
meaningful for God to share in 

722
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Genesis concerning Noah's life, 
because he still had 350 years 

723
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,080
left, all right. 
But evidently there was still 

724
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,800
nothing, nothing, you know, as 
meaningful as he wanted to 

725
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,120
include in his story of the 
Bible that was going to usher 

726
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,040
the whole concept alone of what 
he was trying to go. 

727
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,520
And so we have been almost here 
because we're the statement's 

728
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,360
going to be read 350 years after
the flood. 

729
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,840
He died 950 years, but we're 
done with Noah. 

730
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,720
Put him over here, you know, 
file 13, whatever, you know, 

731
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,800
well, a lot of times what 
happens, we see this in Genesis.

732
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,840
We see this with Jacob. 
We see this in Genesis 49. 

733
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,160
I think it is one of the last 
chapters of Genesis where Jacob 

734
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,600
is on his deathbed, right? 
Talk of him as far as directly 

735
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,360
is about ready to be done. 
And he calls in all of the 12 

736
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,000
different sons that he has of 
the 12 tribes. 

737
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,840
And he begins to pronounce 
basically futures and prophecies

738
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,840
and pronouncements upon their 
lives and the lives of the 

739
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,440
tribes that they are ahead of. 
That's very similar to the 

740
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,120
picture that we're having here, 
right here in Genesis chapter #9

741
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,400
of what? 
What? 

742
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,120
What Noah is doing here with his
three sons. 

743
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,200
Of, of of. 
Him and grandson for that 

744
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,560
matter, Canaan, Shem and Jacob. 
Notice now it was Noah that 

745
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,080
cursed Canaan. 
It doesn't say that God cursed 

746
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,360
Canaan, but Noah did. 
And so again, that it's awful 

747
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,280
and interesting that these are 
Noah's first recorded words. 

748
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,480
Bless his heart. 
I mean, you really? 

749
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,600
This really had to tip Noah off,
that through all of this mess, 

750
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,040
we don't have no recorded word 
of him. 

751
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,360
But the moment there is, it's 
because you said something about

752
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,280
me being naked in the privacy of
my tent. 

753
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,400
I'm just saying that it kind of,
you know, shines a light 

754
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,880
somewhere. 
And so here he is, Noah's words.

755
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,960
I know it's curse and blessing, 
but they might be better viewed 

756
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,280
as as being prophecy or 
pronouncement. 

757
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,960
Up up upon his children, Noah 
declared future things. 

758
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Just as Jacob did some future 
things according to the 

759
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,400
character that he saw in the one
that was standing before him, 

760
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,440
There's a lot of the things that
was even spoken from Jake Jacob 

761
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,080
later in Genesis about his 
individual sons that mirrored or

762
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,240
tongue and grood with the 
character that they had lived 

763
00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:58,960
before their father. 
And so he could say some, he 

764
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,240
could say something about their 
future based upon where they 

765
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:06,040
were right then. 
And so Noah is doing something 

766
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,680
very similar right here in the 
scripture. 

767
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,120
He's going to speak about these 
boys, these these grand boys. 

768
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:18,560
Now here's the thing. 
Ham is the father of Canaan. 

769
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:24,720
Canaan is cursed by Noah. 
Now listen, Genesis, Exodus, 

770
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:29,320
Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,
we all, most scholars would 

771
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,200
agree that these are the 
writings of, of, of Moses. 

772
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,160
Moses pinned these things. 
But Moses was not present in 

773
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,640
Genesis. 
All right, So the Genesis record

774
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,880
is written much later than when 
it occurred. 

775
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:53,040
And with that, Moses has insight
of what's coming or what had 

776
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,560
come. 
As he goes back and writes and 

777
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,880
no doubt the inspiration of the 
Holy Ghost leading him and 

778
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,560
guiding him as he's doing this 
insomuch that there are 

779
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,920
connections, just stay with me. 
There are connections that are 

780
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,640
being made about what we would 
understand in the future that's 

781
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,800
still going to take place from 
Genesis forward. 

782
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,240
That's going to unfold in. 
Scripture. 

783
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:20,200
What are you saying Ham's 
descendant was Canaan? 

784
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,280
When we get next week to Genesis
chapter #10 you're going to 

785
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:31,480
realize that Canaan is linked to
being the ancestor then of the 

786
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,800
Canaanite tribes that were in 
the promised land. 

787
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,360
When you start reading of the 
different descendants of Canaan,

788
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,760
you're going to start. 
Noticing some names in there, a 

789
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:48,280
man that is people that the 
children of Israel contended 

790
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,760
with when they went into the 
promised land. 

791
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,760
So Canaan is the ancestor of the
Canaanites that would be in the 

792
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,920
promised land. 
Remember when the children of 

793
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,760
Israel then are finally entering
that land of Canaan where these 

794
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:09,320
Canaanites were, there was a, a,
a, a plea over them that you go 

795
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,520
in and you destroy their altars,
you destroyed the people, you 

796
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,120
snub them all out. 
We know according to the book of

797
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,360
Joshua, that didn't completely 
happen. 

798
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,840
There were some that remained in
the land. 

799
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,080
And yet the Bible conveys to us 
that those that did remain in 

800
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,960
the land, they were made 
tributaries, or if you will, 

801
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,360
they were made servants, right? 
Because a tributary feeds into 

802
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,320
another body of water. 
Amen. 

803
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,560
And so the Canaanites were made 
tributaries to Israel. 

804
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,520
All right. 
They were made to serve Israel 

805
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,080
in some regards. 
As a matter of fact, Joshua was 

806
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,240
going over and it's whenever the
Gibeonites come over when it 

807
00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:50,480
acted like they were from a real
distant land and our our bread 

808
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,600
is Moody and our garments are 
tattered. 

809
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,360
You were from far away when they
were just like a few days 

810
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,440
journey from where they were. 
And whenever he found out that 

811
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,880
they were a part of that clan, a
man of that Canaan land, he 

812
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,080
said, well, here's what we're 
going to do. 

813
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,080
We're going to make them 
drawlers of water and hewers of 

814
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:07,600
wood. 
What? 

815
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,800
There will be servants, they'll 
be servants to us. 

816
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,280
That notes really what Noah 
prophesied for Canaan. 

817
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,360
He said Canaan, you're going to 
be a servant unto Shem. 

818
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,200
You'll be a servant unto 
Jephthah, you will be a servants

819
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,520
of servants to your brethren. 
What's interesting about this 

820
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,400
again, we only have so many 
selves right now, right says 

821
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,360
you're going to be servants of 
servants to your brethren. 

822
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,040
Well, what are we talking about?
Well, we get in the next week 

823
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,000
the descendants of Shem, the 
word Shem in Hebrew, 

824
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:47,120
transliterated Shem is name. 
From Shem's line will come the 

825
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,600
Jewish people. 
From Shem you'll trace Shem all 

826
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,000
the way to Abraham, who is the 
father of the Jews. 

827
00:50:53,240 --> 00:51:00,520
The people of the name Noah 
makes a pronouncement. 

828
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:07,720
Canaan, you're cursed. 
You will serve your brethren. 

829
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,520
We get to promised land, a chin 
of Israel going to the land of 

830
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,480
Canaan. 
And those they don't destroy, 

831
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,920
guess what's happening? 
They're made the servants of the

832
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,680
Jewish. 
People, they made the servants. 

833
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,560
Of that line of father Abraham 
and then there's Japheth the 

834
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,160
other son. 
He says he's going to enlarge 

835
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:31,040
him and he is an ancestor of a 
good other portion of the other 

836
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,320
Gentile nations beyond the 
Canaanites and it. 

837
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:39,520
Says in verse #27 It says that 
Japheth will be dwelling in the 

838
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:45,240
tents of Shem. 
That is, that Noah really had a 

839
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:49,840
spirit of prophecy upon him. 
Japheth, these other Gentile 

840
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,520
nations will be dwelling in your
tents. 

841
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:51,960
What? 
What? 

842
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,800
What are we talking about? 
Well, if Shem is the Jewish 

843
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,680
people, the nation of Israel, 
God's chosen, the people. 

844
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,960
Of the name you get all the way 
in the New Testament scripture 

845
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,120
what happens with the Gentile 
nations concerning Israel. 

846
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:13,760
Bible says they are grafted in. 
In essence, the Gentiles are now

847
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,360
because of the New Testament 
Testament. 

848
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:22,200
Now can become dwellers in the 
tents of the people of God. 

849
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,080
Amen. 
The Bible says in Ephesians 3 

850
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,640
and verse number six that the 
Gentiles should be fellow heirs.

851
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,560
We're not separate now. 
It's not Gentile. 

852
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,080
Didn't know they're they're 
fellow heirs with what? 

853
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,680
With Israel, Fellow heirs with 
the people of God. 

854
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,640
Fellow heirs with the people of 
the name and of the same body. 

855
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,760
And partakers of his promise in 
Christ. 

856
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,120
By the gospel folks. 
The reality of that was in seed 

857
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:55,120
form from Noah's mouth in 
Genesis 9 in the New Testament. 

858
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,480
Then we have salvation that 
comes to every division of the 

859
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,600
post flood family in Noah. 
Because when you have the 

860
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:09,680
Ethiopian eunuch of Acts chapter
#8 that receives salvation, you 

861
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,160
have the line of Ham. 
When you have Acts chapter #9 

862
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,120
with the Apostle Paul, you have 
the line of Shem. 

863
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,280
When you have Acts chapter #10 
with Cornelius of the Italian 

864
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:26,160
band, who was a Gentile, you 
have the line of Jacob. 

865
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:32,440
Every division known to mankind 
right after the flood are saved 

866
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,920
in the book of Acts, because 
Christ fulfilled it all. 

867
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:44,240
Stay with me right now. 
So Noah lives to be 950 years, 

868
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:51,320
few years short of Methuselah. 
And about 2/3 of his life was 

869
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,080
lived before the flood. 
About a third of his life was 

870
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,520
lived after the flood. 
And yet Brother Mike Williams 

871
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,520
years and years ago preached the
sermon. 

872
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,640
And it's important to realize 
that after the flood, Noah still

873
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,760
had 350 years of living after 
the flood. 

874
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:14,160
Meaning whatever you go through,
there's life on the other side 

875
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,720
of that. 
Just as Job seen his children's 

876
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,360
children to what, the 4th 
generation? 

877
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,760
I think 120 years he lived after
all that decimated his life. 

878
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,920
So whatever you're going through
right now, have hope. 

879
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:31,520
There's life after you fill in 
the blank. 

880
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,920
There's life after whatever it 
may be. 

881
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,760
And so this is Noah's. 
This is Noah's legacy. 

882
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,200
It's in his children. 
It will continue next week. 

883
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,680
We'll look at it as many as do 
or don't. 

884
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,280
Chapter 10, what's known as the 
table of the nations, because 

885
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,280
this is where the populace of 
the world today. 

886
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,320
This is where we all sprouted 
from. 

887
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,160
This is where we all sprouted 
from all over the world. 

888
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,160
Amen. 
But it's going to be serving us 

889
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:07,480
again, another, another purpose.
It's getting us further 

890
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,920
connected to Noah, or not Noah, 
but Abraham, because that's 

891
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,120
where we'll be going then in 
chapter 12. 

892
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,640
And we have, of course, the 
tower of Babel in Chapter 11, 

893
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,520
but we might not get the Babel, 
might not get the Babel, this, 

894
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:23,480
this, this realm, but we will 
eventually bless the Lord, Amen.

895
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,720
Let's bow our heads today. 
Father, I'm so thankful, Lord 

896
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,480
Jesus, for your word. 
Help me, Lord God, to take the 

897
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,520
truths, Lord Jesus, of your 
word. 

898
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,560
God, those areas, God that can 
be applicable, Lord, to my own 

899
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,000
life and God to apply them. 
I pray, O Lord Jesus, this is 

900
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,760
more about than God just say a 
chapter. 

901
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:46,160
It's about broadening our whole 
mindset of the Bible and seeing 

902
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,840
how it interconnects from 
beginning to end. 

903
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,880
Though devised the Lord just 
written by several different 

904
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,800
authors over different areas of 
time. 

905
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,360
Lord, this this is a very one 
author God ordained book. 

906
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,320
Lord, I pray God that could not 
be done any other way if it had 

907
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,880
not been God breed. 
I pray, Oh Lord, help us to 

908
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,840
appreciate that in that regard, 
Lord and thank you Lord Jesus 

909
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,800
for sharing it with us and the 
lovely name of Jesus Christ that

910
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,720
I pray Amen and Amen and the 
church say Amen. 

911
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,520
God bless you tonight in Jesus 
name again Friday mobile food 

912
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,160
distribution starting here at 12
and it could go for a while. 

913
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,720
There is if anybody asks, I 
think some Flyers got out with 

914
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,240
household things. 
There is household requirement 

915
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,680
as far as income or things like 
that. 

916
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:35,960
Whosoever will so Amen. 
Hey, and on a side note, this 

917
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,920
month, if you haven't realized, 
this month we have fed the 

918
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,760
firefighters just Monday night. 
We have blitzed all the schools 

919
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,200
with food during teacher 
appreciation week. 

920
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:51,120
We have paid around $1000 for 
some high school students for 

921
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,880
their fees. 
We have, we have paid about 

922
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,480
$1000. 
We've had several different 

923
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,680
students, we've paid about $1000
so that they could walk across 

924
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,720
this the the stage at 
graduation. 

925
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,160
So when you don't think 
nothing's going on, there's 

926
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,000
stuff going on. 
All right, And so applaud you, 

927
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,640
Amen, for your participation, 
your giving your so and so forth

928
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,360
in order to make those things 
happen. 

929
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,280
And this Friday is just another 
thing that's been taking place 

930
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,120
this month. 
So God bless you all. 

931
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,240
God bless. 
Amen, our community. 

932
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,960
Thank you for listening.
