God is everywhere... Can you see him? My study of Noah part 1

April 16, 2014
I went to see Noah today....alone.

I took off after Greek class headed to the AMC theater in Qual Spring Mall . I got there at 2:45 for a 3:05 showing. I bought my ticket and headed to the theater. When I got in there I was the only one there, I found my spot, sat, and grabbed my bible.

I read the story of Noah while I was waiting. Right before the movie game I prayed to see God's work through this movie. I prayed for inspiration to get the story he wanted us to read. Here is things I noticed that was highlighted in the movie.


"3When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 6When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh. 9When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.12When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 15When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 18When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 





21When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.


25When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 28When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” 32After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth." (Genesis 5:3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21-24, 25, 28-29, 32) (NIV)
Then I read the story of the flood and saw something I never saw before. 
5The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." Genesis 6:4-8 (NIV)
In the beginning of Noah my heart ached because the destruction of earth do to man. God sends a dream to Noah that he going to flood the earth. Noah is the only one he speaks to but in short dreams. Noah is from the line of Seth.  
The movie plays with this feeling rivarly between Cain and his youngest brother Seth. Seth line took care of the earth and the animals that God gave Adam and Eve as thier job in watching and protecting the earth and the animals. 




"4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.




To me Noah was a story of mercy and a call to believers in protecting the poor and innocent.  

I am going to try to write more later but I am uber busy.
