141 | flaming sword | Gen 3:24 | BradK | 156359 | ||
Hi jason, Here's the verse: "So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life." Though scripture doesn't explicitly say, here are a couple of views that may shed some light. "24. placed … cherbim—The passage should be rendered thus: “And he dwelt between the cherubim at the East of the Garden of Eden and a fierce fire, or Shekinah, unfolding itself to preserve the way of the tree of life.†This was the mode of worship now established to show God’s anger at sin and teach the mediation of a promised Saviour as the way of life, as well as of access to God. They were the same figures as were afterwards in the tabernacle and temple; and now, as then, God said, “I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims†(Ex 25:22). [A commentary, critical and explanatory, on the Old and New Testaments.] Warren Wiersbe offers this in his Expository outlines of the Old Testament: "Verses 22–24 show a strange action of the grace of God: He drove the man and woman out of the garden! They had forfeited their right to the tree of life by disobeying God. If they had eaten of that tree, they would have lived forever in their sinful state. This would mean that the Savior, the Second Adam, could not come to die to deliver humans from sin. Thus, in driving Adam and Eve out of paradise, God was showing His grace and mercy to the whole human race. The sword that God placed at the garden barred the way. It is possible to translate this “a swordlike flameâ€â€”the fire of God that speaks of His holiness (Heb. 12:29)." I hope this helps, BradK |

143 | were cain and abel twins | Gen 4:1 | BradK | 225634 | ||
Hello diva, Cain and Abel were brothers- by the same father- as indicated from scripture. Gen 4:1 "Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." Gen 4:2 "Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." It's pretty clear from the text that there were no other people in existence at that time but Adam and Eve! BradK |

144 | Obedience better than sacrifice? | Gen 4:5 | BradK | 218588 | ||
Hello Humility, I can give you a couple of reasons stated from scripture: 1. Heb 11:4 tells us, "By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks." (NASB) The corollary- and implication- is that Cain's sacrifice was not "by faith"; 2. In Gen. 3:17 we take note that God cursed the ground because of sin, "...Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life." (NASB) In Gen. 4:3 we're told, "So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

147 | who was taken to heaven by God | Gen 5:24 | BradK | 224463 | ||
Hello jap519, Actually, there are two: Enoch and Elijah, both of whom were translated- not seeing death. Gen 5:24 "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him". (NASB) 2 Kings 2:11 "As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven." (NASB) These are the only two that scripture indicates never saw death. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Lydia, Gen. 5:27 tells us, "...all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died". I believe you're referring to Enoch and Elijah, both of whom were translated- not seeing death. Gen 5:24 "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him". (NASB) 2 Kings 2:11 "As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven."

150 | mocking Noah in the Bible | Gen 6:1 | BradK | 131971 | ||
nae-nae, There is no specific reference to people mocking Noah. However, we can surmise a couple of things to indicate that he probably was mocked. 1. An interval of one hundred and twenty years elapsed while the ark was being built (Gen.6:3), during which Noah bore constant testimony against the unbelief and wickedness of that generation (Gen. 6:5). 2. Noah was called a "preacher of righteousness" in 1 Peter 3, where we can see that only eight persons, were brought safely through the great flood- namely his family! If Noah preached for 120 years, certainly he had much rejection as not one soul repented! The fact that "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household" (Heb. 11:8) he was most likely ridiculed by people due to no water body was even close.

152 | what does it means sons of God here ? | Gen 6:2 | BradK | 171786 | ||
Dear hlavie, Here are a couple views that may help shed light on your question: "6:1-4. Many have suggested that the sons of God were the godly line of Seth and the daughters of men were the Cainites. But this does not do justice to the terminology or the context. Others view the “sons of God” as angels (as in Job 1:6), who cohabited with women on earth. This, however, conflicts with Matthew 22:30. The incident is one of hubris, the proud overstepping of bounds. Here it applies to “the sons of God,” a lusty, powerful lot striving for fame and fertility. They were probably powerful rulers who were controlled (indwelt) by fallen angels. It may be that fallen angels left their habitation and inhabited bodies of human despots and warriors, the mighty ones of the earth." [The Bible Knowledge Commentary] "Few texts in the history of interpretation have aroused more curiosity and divergence of opinion than Genesis 6:1–4. It is at once tantalizing and deeply puzzling. What is most difficult is the identification of the main participants in this short narrative—the “sons of God,” the “daughters of men” and the “Nephilim” (or “giants”). An impressive array of scholars has lined up for each of the three major positions taken on the identification of these three groups of participants. The three positions may be labeled “the cosmologically mixed races view” (angels and humans), “the religiously mixed races view” (godly Sethites and worldly Cainites) and “the sociologically mixed races view” (despotic male aristocrats and beautiful female commoners)."

153 | Did Noah preach 120 years? | Gen 6:3 | BradK | 117783 | ||
Pat, The reference you're looking for is found in Gen. 6:3 ,"Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." The context from Gen. 5:32 through chapter 6 is referring to Noah Note that 2 Pet. 2:5 refers to, "...Noah a preacher of righteousness..." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Danesh, Hard Sayings of the Bible makes this comment as an intro (in Part): "Few texts in the history of interpretation have aroused more curiosity and divergence of opinion than Genesis 6:1–4. It is at once tantalizing and deeply puzzling. What is most difficult is the identification of the main participants in this short narrative—the “sons of God,” the “daughters of men” and the “Nephilim” (or “giants”). An impressive array of scholars has lined up for each of the three major positions taken on the identification of these three groups of participants. The three positions may be labeled “the cosmologically mixed races view” (angels and humans), “the religiously mixed races view” (godly Sethites and worldly Cainites) and “the sociologically mixed races view” (despotic male aristocrats and beautiful female commoners)." Harpers' Bible Dictionary says this: "Nephilim:, people of the pre-Flood generation, the offspring of daughters of men and divine beings (Gen. 6:1-4). Their generation and their conduct seem to have provoked the Flood as punishment (Gen. 6:5-8:22). In Num. 13:33 the Israelite spies describe the inhabitants of Hebron as Nephilim, so large and powerful that ‘we seemed like grasshoppers.’ The name could mean ‘fallen ones’ and allude to stories in related cultures of rebellious giants defeated by the gods in olden times (cf. Isa. 14:12)." Eastons Bible Dictionary says: "Nephilim — (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33, R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in Gen. 6:4, “mighty men.”" I hope this helps, BradK |

156 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | BradK | 161356 | ||
Hi Chunkie, For starters, you can always go to the "Search" function at the upper right of the SBF Home Page and type in "Nephilim". This question has been asked (and answered) countless times:-) The Tyndale Bible Dictionary says this: "NEPHILIM- Early group of the human race, mentioned only twice in the OT (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33; nlt mg). The Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (the Septuagint) rendered the name “Nephilim” as “giants,” and other versions followed this rendering, including the KJV. Modern translations, however, usually designate them as Nephilim, thus identifying them with the Anakim (Num. 13:33; Deut. 2:21) and the Rephaim (Deut. 2:20). The latter two were reputed to be large physically, hence the rendering “giants.” The Nephilim are of unknown origin. Some writers have taken the Hebrew verb naphal, “to fall,” to imply that the Nephilim were “fallen ones”—that is, fallen angels who subsequently mated with human women. But Christ taught that angels do not have carnal relationships (Lk 20:34–35), and therefore this view can only be maintained by assuming that Genesis 6:1–4 reflects Greek mythology, in which such unions occurred. The Genesis passage, however, deals with anthropology, not mythology. The Nephilim were evidently not the “sons of God” and seem to be different also from the “daughters of men.” The best classification is with the Anakim and Rephaim as ancient peoples of unknown origin." I hope this helps, BradK |

158 | Adam in sin,JC on Cross which hurt Fath | Gen 6:6 | BradK | 153311 | ||
Hi misha sri, Scripture does not tell us directly. We know that it was Gods' permissive will to allow the entrance of sin, and His eternal purpose to sacrifice His Son. God was "grieved in His heart" in Gen. 6:6 , the language used being an anthropomorphism. Jesus' "...soul was deeply greived, to the point of death" according to Matt. 26:38. There is no direct reference to God, the Father being sad about either Adam or Jesus. I hope this helps, BradK |
