1 | What is the approx. date of the flood? | Gen 7:6 | gbea | 116848 | ||
I recorded all the geneology from Adam through the Flood. It seems that the Flood occurred approximately 1,704 years after Adam (began aging?). Going on the current Jewish calendar (which says we're 5764 years after Adam), the flood occurred 4,060 years ago, or 2056BC. I haven't yet computed it biblically myself yet... I'm getting there, though. I'm currently with the beginnings of the 12 tribes of Israel. |

2 | But can you answer the original question | 1 John 2:27 | gbea | 116790 | ||
Answered. See records. | ||||||
3 | What was the reasoning behind that? Or | Gen 9:25 | gbea | 116789 | ||
Wow, it seems harsh that Noah cursed Canaan instead of Ham, since Ham is the one who saw him naked and tried to expose it to his brothers. I don't know the answer, but I'm going to offer a couple ideas… In Gen 9:18, when it lists the sons of Noah who went forth from the ark, Canaan is the only "grandson" who is mentioned. PERHAPS while on the ark, Canaan was in some way rebellious? God was giving him the just reward of his rebellion, for God will not be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. In the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, God says in Exodus 20… 2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image -- any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. I know that these commands were not yet given, but they were clearly in the heart of God from the beginning of time, especially from the beginning of the creation of man. Jewish tradition says that the world was created in memory of the giving of Torah (first 5 books of Moses) at Sinai. Strange to think about, but it seems to at least make a good point that this Torah is in the heart of God. So, the relevant point is in verse 5 where God says that He visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Him. There are many different gods to choose from… there always have been. Not obeying GOD is in effect obeying some other god. Perhaps Ham’s disrespect for his father (which broke God’s not yet given (in writing) command of honoring our father and mother, so that “your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you,” vs 12)… perhaps this disrespect is what brought the curse to his children. It’d probably be difficult for Canaan to honor Ham if he was enslaved to his brothers. Since Ham dishonored his father, his son wasn’t going to honor him. It also seems that Ham did not choose to worship the LORD (YHVH) as God because Gen 9:26,27 makes it seem that only Shem and maybe Japheth served the LORD. You see the same things in families today… many children choose to serve the God of their parents, but many others choose to serve other gods (like drugs, sex, rebellion, you name it). It’s not such a new thing to rebel against parents, eh? I’m interested to see if anyone has something else. I really don’t know… just thoughts… GB |

4 | joshua son of nun | Num 13:16 | gbea | 116781 | ||
Here’s some more insight into Joshua, son of Nun, from the Scriptures… a few selected verses that give insight into his character. My favorite is the first -- it seems that Joshua loved the presence of the LORD. Oh that we today would want His presence more than anything else. Exodus 33:11 So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle. Numbers 11 27And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp." 28So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, "Moses my lord, forbid them!" 29Then Moses said to him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!" Numbers 13:16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua. Numbers 14 4…"Let us select a leader and return to Egypt." … 6But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, "a land which flows with milk and honey.'[1] 9Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them." Numbers 14:30 Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in. Numbers 26:65 For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." So there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. Numbers 27:18 And the LORD said to Moses: "Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; Numbers 34:17 "These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. Deuteronomy 31:23 Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you." Deuteronomy 34:9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses. Joshua 1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying: Joshua 2:1 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." … Joshua 14:1 These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. Joshua 19:49 When they had made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun. Joshua 24:29 Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old. Blessings, GB |

5 | How can I deal with satan showing hiself | Bible general Archive 2 | gbea | 116747 | ||
Shey, I respond in a spirit of the Fear of the LORD and a desire to see you grow in relationship with your Heavenly Father and Eternal King. Still, test all I say in prayer and by the Bible, knowing that the Spirit of God is your Teacher. I am not perfect, nor do I have complete revelation (no man has or will have full revelation while in this fallen body, for we all see as through a glass dimly and only in part). But as the brother said earlier, the Spirit of God dwells in those who are His... all because of Jesus' victory and our acceptance of His Lordship through faith... may He teach us and guide us in all truth, to magnify the Lord Jesus!! MOST IMPORTANTLY: I don't know what you mean by "I recently came back to God. I went to church..." Praise God that you're coming back to Him. Have you received the message of the gospel of the Kingdom of God by faith? ...that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose again... that He suffered the penalty of sin in your place, that you may be saved from your sins if you believe? See this Scripture... Hebrews 10:7-13 "...(the word of faith which we preach)-- that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."" Okay, just had to clear that up :) Now, a brief look at history is important... ETERNITY PAST: Jesus was in the beginning with God and He is the eternal Son of God. All creation was formed through Him. SOME TIME IN ETERNITY PAST, BEFORE MAN (as I understand): The angel Lucifer, who was in charge of worshipping God, was found with pride in his heart and tried to exalt himself above God to be worshipped as God. Nice try-- God kicked him out of heaven, and heLucifer took 1/3 of the angels with him. These angels are now dark/demonic beings who serve Lucifer (other names being Satan, the Devil, the Serpent of old, the Dragon). THE 6-DAY CREATION, BRINGING LIFE AND MAN TO EARTH (Approx. 4,000BC): God created Adam and Eve in His image without sin, and they walked in fellowship with Him. They had dominion over the earth. God told them not to eat of one tree-- the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve was deceived into eating the fruit by the Serpent (Satan), who told her she'd be like God, knowing good and evil, if she ate. She told Adam to eat, saying it was good, and he ate. This was the first act of human sin-- disobeying God, missing the mark, walking in a path NOT His. This put a barrier between man and God. All descendents from Adam's seed were (and still are) born into sin. Another huge effect of this sin-- they turned their dominion over the earth to Satan. Satan became the prince of the earth, the ruler of the earth. He rules the earth with his angels/evil spirits. REALITY (as I understand): There currently exists a battle between the Kingdom of God (NOTE: God is and always has been the King of the Universe, never budged from His throne) and the Kingdom of darkness. God reigns in His Kingdom, but because of our sin, the kingdom of darkness is reigning on the earth (NOTE: Satan is a created being). God will one day annihilate the darkness, but He loves mankind and is patient for more people to repent of their sins and accept Jesus' sacrifice. Meanwhile, because of sin, Satan is running rampant on the earth. Satan is a legalist, and when we sin, we give him a legal right to torment our lives. JESUS, BIRTH (Approx. 0BC/AD -- approx. 2,000 years ago): God sent His only begotten Son JESUS to the earth, born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit. Jesus did NOT have the seed of Adam, and He never sinned. JESUS' CRUCIFIXION (Approx. 33AD): Satan attempted to kill Jesus... little did He understand God's love. When Jesus died on the cross, He bore all our sins and He made a public spectacle of Satan. He triumphed over death, and He is now seated on high, at the right hand of the Father. That authority Adam and Eve turned over to Satan when they sinned… well, Jesus won it back! See message #2 (I’ll be more careful before typing so long next time, so it can be one message) |
