Noah's Ark, A Child's Story

(Genesis 7:1) ..THE LORD Said unto Noah, “Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before ME in this generation.”
(Genesis 6:5)..God saw that the ~wickedness of man~ was great in the earth, and that every *Imagination*, of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually… (v.12) God ~LOOKED~ upon the earth, and, Behold, IT WAS Corrupted; for ~ALL~ flesh had corrupted *HIS WAY*, upon the earth……
Something to think about when we read this account and then flash forward to the present day and time…. Most times we hear words, but don’t get the full meaning, or pay attention to what IS Really being said in the writing of the Bible… For instance ~Wickedness~ DOESN’T have to be the evil that folks think IT IS, as in drunken debauchery, brawls and such, but rather IT IS Simply and act of displeasing, something distasteful, (look up the entire meaning) as IN Displeasing unto God… And what IS Displeasing TO GOD? Disobedience!… Simply Put! *IF*, God’s Word states, don’t pick the roses,” then that IS What IT means and although it may seem that there is nothing bad at all about simply picking a rose, IT IS A thing OF Wickedness IF God said do not do IT.. IT IS Evil in The Sight of God, BECAUSE, IT IS A Blatant act of ~~Disobedience~~…
Well, we hear and see so many times Bible Principles, God’s Statutes, trashed by. Movies, games, celebrations, clothing, pictures, tattoos, horoscopes, symbols of pagan gods and false teachings, everywhere one looks today, there before our eyes IS Evil and Wickedness, and yet, ~followers~ of Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, will pass *IT* OFF AS, “Oh, *IT’S* just a movie, or It’s just a picture painted on our body, or *IT’S* just for fun, reading of our fortunes,” everyone knows that it is make believe, so it doesn’t hurt to let the children watch *IT*.” ~Every *Imagination* of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually~??? Reckon God really didn’t mean this? Does God Lie? Does God Joke? Does God play, play like or make believe games? OR IS God The SAME Yesterday, Today, and Forever? SERIOUS!
(Isaiah 40:8) .. The grass withered, the flower fadeth, BUT The Word of our God shall *Stand For Ever*.
(Hebrews 13:8)… Jesus Christ the *SAME* yesterday, today, and For ever…
SO *IF* Christ IS The Same does not that Make God The Father The Same Also?
(Galatians 6:7)… Be NOT Deceived: God IS NOT Mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…
So *IF* we live this life here mocking God by taking part in the things that HIS Written Word Declares Wicked, warning us to leave IT Alone, then we are mocking God and our reward will be a mocking of the lack of sincerity that our lives have proved…
The account of Noah and The ARK, has long been used and told as just a child’s story, placed by mankind, together in the same category as all the other fairy tales told to children.. Along with the fairy tales that men have turned the accounts of The Birth and Resurrection of Christ, the Son of God INTO, with the false teachings added into them of: Santa and his miracles and the rabbit and his colored eggs that paint a fairy tale story out of a true account….Seriously?
IT IS Claimed that children respond better to these accounts when they have something entertaining that their little minds can associate with… BUT!, out of the same mould comes the magical movies, horrors of the dead, ghost, witches, vampires, games of war, guns, killing fighting, tattoos, horoscopes OF Satan’s tools, which are presented to little minds to be entertained with.. Something wrong with this picture, this excuse, this reasoning?
Well, IT has been around for years hasn’t IT? About six-thousand years or more…. Ever since The garden… Man has proved disobedient… BUT many believe that since God sent HIS Son to pay the sin debt, then there IS NO Sin… Reckon how many believed that in the days of Noah? Most likely they ~Believed~ that their way was Right TOO. Nothing Wrong with having fun and living the good life. Noah was just a mad man, an imbecile, a lunatic, and a ~fanatic~, for building a boat on dry land, `Y` there was just ~NO~ reasoning to ~IT~… IT was unnecessary.
That is the opinion that many folks of this day have of the messenger that delivers the message of: ~~Belief, Faithful Obedience, and True Worship OF~~, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost….
Why, did The LORD give Noah the Command TO build an Ark, When HE IS AN ALMIGHTY God and could have just caused ~~ALL~~ the disobedient people’s lungs to fill with their own fluid and drown? Noah would not have had to lift his hand in labor -- and build a boat on dry land, and all the animals would have been saved…. Logic? Yeah, man’s.
Flash forward to, today with this thought.. Animal activist would not have been unhappy with the destruction of all the animals, so God could have kept them happy and peaceful… This would have been ~A GOOD THING~ right?… Noah and his sons could have just laid back with the rest of the folk and enjoyed the good life that the world had to offer, and this too would have been good. Right? He would have fit in with the crowds of folk that lived back then…
Why, does HE NOT JUST wipe out ~~ALL~~ the disobedient people today, leave the earth intact for the ~righteous~ folk?…
ONE, God’s Plan IS, HIS Plan and we, mere mortals of clay are not to question, nor try and put God where ~WE~ want HIM, but we are the clay and should faithfully accept the mold that The Potter makes us into. What HE Sees Fit that we should ~Follow~..…
(Isaiah 64:8) .. But NOW, O LORD, THOU Art our Father; we are the clay, & THOU our POTTER; we ~ALL~ are the Work of THY Hand.
TWO, There IS None righteous on this earth…
(Romans 3:11).. AS IT IS Written, There IS None Righteous, No Not One..
Three, wasn’t The Accounts of ~~ALL~~ things written in God’s Word The Bible, Written there for a purpose? And that Purpose IS: For mans benefit! Not his entertainment… (All things were written?)
(Romans 15:4).. Whatsoever ~Things~ Were *Written* Aforetime, Were Written for ~our~ *Learning*, that we through patience and Comfort of, ~The Scriptures~ might have hope..
Hate the ~messenger~ *IF* you must, but remember that an angel IS merely a messenger from God… May Be that God will forgive you of this feeling of hate toward HIS messenger… BUT, there WILL BE NOT Forgiveness for the unrepentant, blatant disobedience of God’s Message..
(Ezekiel 3:20) .. When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die.. Because thou hast not given him warning he shall die in his sins, and ~his *Righteousness* which he hath done~ shall not be remembered, BUT, his blood will I require at thine hand….…
(Romans 12:2) Be ~~NOT~~ Conformed to this world: BUT Be ye ~Transformed~ BY the ~~Renewing~ of your mind that ye may prove what IS that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, Will OF God….
If we today read the account of Noah and the Ark IT Should remind us that we must be ~~Obedient~~ unto God’s Will, and Walk IN HIS Way, leaving the world to it’s maker and ruler…. Not make a game of child’s play out of a lesson that God has given for us for our benefit… IT IS SO Very Important that we set the example of seriousness in God’s Way, before our children, not foolishness of the world…..
