We're in the Noah Generation

Generation of Noah!
His was the tenth generation,called "perfect" in Gen6:9 and it was 500 years before his three sons were born, so in effect this peculiar 'Noah Generation' lasted 500 years! Abraham gets the notoriety, but NOAH is the oldest father, before the NEXT generation is born.

Paper and printing press were invented about 500 years ago, so the Bible, the WORD, couldn't have been "published" before then. Right?

Gen5:32 KJV And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Matt24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled". (The generation that sees these things!)

Ps68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Esther 1:20 "And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small".

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Lk17:26 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

So aren't we seeing a type of 'Final Four'..? And isn't the world NOW in the Noah Generation? GLORY!

Allegory of the CUP..

Allegory of the Cup.

It nearly goes unnoticed in Genesis 44 when Joseph ordered that his own silver cup be "planted" in his younger brother Benjamin's sack -- no explanation is given anywhere in the Old Testament concerning why he would want to frame him and have him labeled as a thief. Joseph and Benjamin were full brothers; born of the supposedly barren Rachel who had died giving birth to Benjamin.

In hindsight, their names: Joseph ("the Lord will add a son") and Benjamin ("son of the right hand") are clearly applicable to Jesus who wouldn't be born in Bethlehem for another two thousand years.

The psalms tell us how "my CUP runneth over", Ps23:5, so that we aren't ignorant of figurative "cups", but the allegorical clincher is when Jesus declares in the Garden of Gethsemane: "The CUP which my Father has given me--shall I not drink it"?
GOD gave Jesus the cup, just as Joseph gave the cup to Benjamin! That's the allegory! Now we're chewing on Eagle Food instead of regurgitated buzzard food!

The scripture "He was numbered with the transgressors", Isa53:12 & Mk15:28, reminds us that Benjamin wasn't really a thief (the cup had been PLANTED in his sack, and he wasn't involved in the bloody coat event) and of how Jesus was different from those he was crucified with... Joseph didn't reveal himself to his brothers on their first visit, but he told them they must surely have the little brother Benjamin with them when they returned. Likewise, the Jews didn't recognize their King, and if you don't have Jesus in your heart when He returns, you won't be going with Him!

Extra Credit: The Chinese bamboo tree does absolutely nothing--or so it seems--for the first four years. Then suddenly, sometime during the fifth year, it shoots up as much as ninety feet high!

The Most Amazing Number!

The Most Amazing Numbers..

You don't have to know Greek or Hebrew or advanced mathematics.

Just count the 4 that lead to David: Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David

Then count the 4 leading to Jesus: Jacob, Joseph, Mary, Jesus

Then consider the 4 prior to the Ark's leaving: Enoch-II, Methuselah, Lamech-II, Noah

Enoch is the 7th generation and Lamech is the 9th. Wouldn't it be more than a coincidence if Jesus-the-WORD is all 66 books of the Bible, and the second Jacob is the 63rd?
