NASB | Genesis 8:21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 8:21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma [a soothing, satisfying scent] and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent (strong inclination, desire) of man's heart is wicked from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. |
Subject: Was the curse on the ground lifted? |
Bible Note: But, looking at Romans 8, the present earth has yet to be restored. The cleaned earth, the Restored earth, the freed earth, is yet to come. Not to say it "has been" set free, but rather it "will be"... future tense. Whatever we eat, even though we're able to eat anything according to Acts 10, we're still under the Genesis 3 curse. Work is still hard, toilsome, tiring, and exhausting. All that is directly related to the Genesis 3 curse. Is it not? |
