THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. Everyone descended from Noah. The flood destroyed everyone except for Noah and his family. I’ve heard others talk that the story of Adam and Eve was just a story about one group of people on earth, but… Continue reading

The Rainbow If you read Genesis 9, you will never look at a rainbow the same again. 1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They… Continue reading

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 4… Continue reading

1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 You are to take with you seven pairs ofa every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate; 3 and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on… Continue reading

This is a story about faith. 8 Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD. It is important that we remember there is no one without sin. We are born into sin, and we must fight it our entire lives. There was only one perfect human, and that was Jesus Christ when he walked the earth in human form. Even though Noah was a sinner, a drunkard to be exact, he was still… Continue reading

My name is John. Am I the only “John” in the world? Certainly not. And such as is the same for Biblical names. Notice in Chapter 5, there is a man named Lamech, who is the father of Noah. But there is another “Lamech” who was a descendant of Cain…two different people. And Noah’s father, Lamech, was the son of a man named Methuselah whose name means “When he is dead, it will be sent.”… Continue reading

If you have just came across this blog and you haven’t read the “About” page, just a reminder as to why this is here. I’m not a pastor, nor is this a ministry. This is my own personal Bible study, and I’ve made it an open invitation to anyone that would like to follow along. After a long absence, I turned back to God after my wife began to suffer from a terminal illness. It… Continue reading

Let’s be honest. There are parts of the Bible that are difficult to read. They are very boring. But there is a reason they’re included in the Bible. Everything in the Bible was inspired by God, so it has to hold some importance. Genesis 5 links the story of creation and the fall of man, to the story of Noah when the world became so wicked and corrupt, that God had to save the righteous… Continue reading

16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son—Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech. And here lies the age-old question, where did Cain… Continue reading

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock… Continue reading
