The deluge of Noah’s day flooded the entire world. The hydrologic cycle on Earth is a closed system. Other than whatever astronauts have taken out of the world’s boundaries, there has been no changes in the amount of water.
The water of the flood came from somewhere. Only a limited
amount is available from rainfall. Solomon wrote, “All the rivers run into the
sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come,
thither they return again” (Ecc 1:7). That is the hydrologic cycle that was not
accepted by science until the mid-1800s.
Water falls from the sky; not originates in the sky. It is first
described as, “There went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face
of the ground” (Gen 2:6). Indeed, a great “mist” went up from the ground at the
time of the flood.
From where did the waters for the flood come? “The fountains
also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from
heaven was restrained” (Gen 8:2). Obviously, from beneath the ground. That
water source was not even considered until the last ten years. There is a reservoir
of water in porous rock 400 miles beneath the surface of the Earth. Just as God
said, He “divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters
which were above the firmament: and it was so” (Gen 1:7).
It appears that God knew of the forthcoming flood when He created
the dry land in the beginning and divided the waters above from the waters
below. Noah must have known that! Why would he not; Solomon had that knowledge.
Note to this day that the source of waters is below. The
seas are fed by underground water (the mist) and is the holding pool. Then the
power of the sun evaporates the water, and when it is fully liquid, it falls to
the ground and back to the seas as rain.
The flood is not mythology. Scientists have hypothesized
that the underground water reserves are ample enough to hold four times the
water of all the seas on Earth. Only recently should it be obvious that Noah
was more than a crazy, delusional old man; he had divine inspiration!
Whales have bene found on high mountains. Which is more
rational: that the mountains delivered them from the sea or that the sea
delivered them to the mountains? Noah saw them lifted from below to the
heights.
What was the purpose of the flood? First off, Adam’s kind
had increasingly become more decadent. No longer was their spirit willing and
their flesh weak, [i]
but their flesh was willing and their spirit weak, just as it is to this time.
Sometimes God is polite. It is implied by scripture
that the flesh was empowered beneath the Tree of Knowledge of Evil. (“Good” was
already known; Gen 1:31). Perhaps theretofore the genitalia of the two had been
dormant because multiplication had not yet occurred. Only “good” therein would
have been a different perspective of pleasure. There would be joy (contentment)
in Paradise. Somehow, Satan in the Serpent, aroused their genitalia because immediately
they covered the flesh that troubled them the most!
Given the provocations of the Tree of Knowledge, it was not
just the genitalia that had been mutated but the entire fleshes of the two.
After learning evil, Adam and Eve, Satan took off their incorruptible flesh and
exchanged it to corruptible. He degenerated the two, and thereafter all Adam’s
kind require regeneration — their corrupted flesh returned to incorruptible, to
wit: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Pet 1:23).
So, why the flood? “God said unto Noah, ‘The end of all
flesh is come before me’” (Gen 6:13). God destroyed all the corrupted (degenerate)
flesh of man and air breathing beasts. The calm air provides life, and turbulent
water death. However, water did not perish mankind. The lack of oxygenated air
did!
Water is for life, but an overabundance of water destroys. A
sub-par amount of air is what kills. God breathed life unto Adam’s kind,
and specifically through their nostrils. [ii]
The flood killed life, not by removing the air, but God ceasing His continual breathing
of life unto them. Satan as well as have choked them to death by cutting off
their God-given breath. Sin did choke them to death by cutting off God’s breath.
As God told Adam, the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge would
make them die. Adam thought he meant right then, but much later, Adam’s
kind died out… but by grace, eight of Noah’s kind were safe on board God’s “yacht.”
God continued to breathe life unto them because He wanted
that none should perish. [iii]
He did not even want that any should perish, even those who sinned the
greatest. He left the door open for 120 years so that all who would go in could
have the chance. As always, God knew who would and who would not! He knew that
somehow Satan would survive the destruction, and it did not take long to see
that he did.
Throughout the exodus from Egypt and escape from Pharaoah,
God appeared as a cloud by day. (Egypt represents sin and death, and Pharaoah,
Satan. Pharaoh’s first born son died as symbolic of the Beast’s. “Israel”
(Jacob) lived whereas Egypt’s son died. That was a foreshadowing of the
crucifixion of Jesus and the hanging of Judas.)
A cloud still hangs over the Earth. When Jesus died, it
darkened, not by eclipse necessarily, but a dark cloud. The cloud was for the
death of Judas when The Angel of Death came to remove Satan from in him. In
that the Holy Ghost of Jesus likely wrestled with Judas to death to drive out
Satan, perhaps Jesus is The Death Angel of Scripture. It is known that God sent
Him many places, including Egypt to wipe out mankind. Th Death Angel is “The Angel
of the Lord” and when David wrestled with “Death” it was Jesus with whom he
wrestled.
Sin caused the flood, but Jesus, “The Angel of Life and
Death” destroyed the wicked flesh from the world. But afterward, true to His
promise, God would never cut off the breath of life by water:
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. (Gen 9:14-15)
Note that all air-breathing creatures were destroyed: “All in whose
nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died” (Gen
7:22). God had breathed life unto Adam through his nostrils, and God would exhume
life from Noah’s kind through their nostrils. That may have been the “dying”
that God had warned Adam about.
As such, Adam was kept safe by a coat from a lamb, but his
seed would die by the reversal of the process as when Adam was created. His
seed was degenerated in the opposite process that Adam was generated, and only regeneration
can reverse back to God’s intent.
When it rained, there was certainly a cloud over the entire
earth as it rained for forty days. Inside that cloud was light. God came as a
fire by night throughout the exodus. There was light in the cloud all along;
and God revealed Himself as the Light with Noah and his seed during the exodus.
A cloud still hangs over the Earth. Sometimes we are blessed
and do not see the cloud for the sunshine. Christians are optimistic in opportunity
or peril. The opportunity is to trust God even in perilous times. That brings us
to these troubled times:
Why cover the face with a mask? For fear that God will again
exhume life through our nostrils. As God promised in the Noahic Covenant, it
would not be by a flood, but He said nothing about water! Words means things in
scripture. He still promised “waters” (Hebrew mayim) but never a flood. Mayim
of course is generally translated to the English as “waters” in that it is
plural. But sometimes the meanings are “variant” and “transitory things.” Although
a plural word, it is used with singular meaning, Figuratively, it can also mean
“juice” (Strong’s Dictionary).
A virus is an unseen (by the naked eye) infectious agent transported
through mist from one breathing being to another. Viral agents are transmitted
by water, albeit not by plentiful waters but many waters!
Covid19 is a “world-wide flood” never experienced before in
this manner. Viruses heretofore have traveled in like environments, but this
time, THE virus is planet-wide except for the polar icecaps. This is a flood
not seen since the days of Noah. Indeed, “as the days of Noah were, so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be” (Mat 24:37). Furthermore, “For as in the
days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not
until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be” (Mat 24:37-38). The “marriage” in Noah’s day were of those of
unlike DNA. [iv] Mutated
DNA (a transitory thing) was the
original sin and the sin of Noah’s time.
That should be clear that the “Son of Man” is Jesus. Jesus
will destroy Adam’s kind again but retain Noah’s kind! Next time the Earth will
be destroyed by fire. So, the virus is not final destruction, but a harbinger
of things to come.
God supplied the water for the flood, and Satan the “variant”
for the virus. A variant is a deviation from the normal and expresses variety
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It seems that the water this time will wash away
the flesh of mankind as it did for Noah, not by a flood but a variety of
viruses, transitioning from covid19. Covid19 is the “transitory thing” from the
Hebrew mayim.
With tongue in cheek, God is providing a warning to
Christians. The Earth would never again experience such flood waters, but destroying
waters were not excluded. People wear masks because they fear the virus; they
fear the waters from the mouth of others to their nostrils. Until the end, God
will continue to breath life from sinful human beings by breathing death into
their nostrils.
This virus is not the end! Noah found grace and survived.
Then, he trusted God for deliverance. He did not look to other men, but toward
the end. He saw the “prize” as his because he trusted God to provide. The Name,
“Jesus” is theophoric for “Ya(hweh) saves.” It is always Jesus who
saves; but yet Christians still rely on doctors more than Jesus. Jesus is the “vaccination” that makes one
whole again. A vaccine is injecting a dead virus into persons to keep them safe
from live viruses. That is why the blood and water of Jesus is a vaccine; he
died that we may live!
The woman with the blood issue said, “If I may but touch his
garment, I shall be whole” (Mat 9:21). She depended on Jesus pouring out virtue
[v] to
make her whole again. Wholeness is as God intended — without disease and
without sin. She was cured of her malady as well as her spiritual despondence.
Did the woman go to the doctors for treatment? No; she went
to the Good Doctor. She trusted Jesus for healing. Jesus did not come to heal
the sick from their infirmities but those who are spiritually sick, but he healed
the sick to show that He has the power to heal the soul of men!
The woman with the blood issue could have died, and Jesus would
still make her whole again. That would be in the General Resurrection. The woman
could have died, and that would till have been her gain because she touched
Christ. [vi] Life
and death may not come now, but usually comes much later in God’s time!
In whom shall we trust? I distrust the government and
the producers of covid19 vaccines because they have deceived by dissemination of
false information. Theirs is the original virus. Face it… in this age of deception,
just who do you believe… the Son of God or those of the Wicked One? My trust is
in Jesus!
With that said, I may die if God is through with me. My life
is purpose-driven, and so long as I take the gospel to the world, God is not
through with me yet. The true Christian accepts that “death is gain!” Of
course, we fear dying but a Christian should never fear what is on the other
side of death.
If God deems it is the time for my salvation, then now is
the time! [vii]
People fear death, but Jesus is The Angel of Death! He is the one to breath
life unto sinners when they repent and borne them again into new flesh. He is
also the one who breaths death into the nostrils of the lost. When Jesus breaths
on us, fear should dissipate.
As for me, when I wear a mask, I perceive that I trust God
less than I think. He will take care of me by either breathing in or out on me.
Of course, those masks are deceptive. They neither filter out the breath of God
nor the virus!
The virus, manmade or not, is not the threat. It is in whom
we trust? Is it man who makes vaccines or is it God who breathes life? Satan is
the Prince of the Power of the Air. [viii]
If manmade, then the virus is from Satan but allowed by God for testing the
faith of Christians. If it is from God, then it is a blessing for those who
pass the test!
I submit that one way or another that the virus is a test of
faith from God and a blessing to those who pass it. The instrument of the test
is operationalized by the so-called vaccine.
The “vaccines” are not truth. Vaccines introduce dead viral
agents to inoculate. In the case of covid, live mRNA is introduced. Is it life
or death that the fiery darts of the wicked are introducing into a living creature?
[ix]
Put on the shield of faith to quench them. My faith is in
Jesus, not in the wiles of the Serpent. I do not see what men can do with their
needles blowing life into the arms of people, but that the blood and water from
Jesus makes one whole.
I may die. I understand that. But can you not understand that
wicked ones injecting transitory things into you might kill you as well.
“But it hasn’t!” you exclaim. That is what Adam thought as
well. The time came for the death that God warned Adam about in Noah’s day. If
your DNA is affected, then your children and your children’s children may be,
to wit: “visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the
children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation” (Exod 34:7).
How can that be? By tampering with DNA. God breathed life unto man. Life is
defined by DNA and mRNA can transition DNA.
Perhaps, if so, that Satan’s DNA in Cain mutated the DNA of
Eve’s kind as the mother of all the living. Perhaps mRNA of wicked ones
may mutate the DNA of those who have been deceived even today!
When you look at the crucifixion, what do you see? Most see
Jesus dead on the Cross, but I see Jesus up there with the rainbow.
Just what do I see when I see the empty Cross” I see Judas
hanging from the Judas Tree of Death with his guts spilled out. I see Satan
missing from his side. As Jesus died, He gave up the Ghost, and then the Holy
Ghost “operated” on Judas. Satan fled to anyplace he could find! [x]
Because I see Jesus controlling life and death, even the
Serpent’s, I trust Him over all the knowledge of men. If I have Jesus, I need
neither a mask nor a false vaccine. Now, give me a true vaccine full of dead
viruses, and inject them freely. Until then, I trust Jesus.
