GOD BLESSES NOAH AND HIS THREE SONS
We discovered, In the very first chapters of Genesis, that all of mankind who
presently live on this earth are the descendants of the three sons of Noah. Now the Lord tells Noah that
he and his family must be fruitful and repopulate the earth because all of its inhabitants have been
previously destroyed by what seems to have been a great war, described symbolically as a great flood
of events. Then the Lord tells Noah what he once told Adam. He tells him that everything which the earth
contains is now his for the taking.
However, God also says that man must not drink the blood of animals. We all know that if we drink
the blood of an animal that is diseased then the probability is that we will also have the same disease.
Some people have interpreted this particular biblical quotation by saying that one human being should
not give a blood transfusion to another human being because biblical writings say so. How can anyone
be so stupid and so wrong in interpreting Biblical writings in such a fashion. There is a difference
between drinking the blood of an animal and giving someone a necessary blood transfusion that may
save that person's life.
Tell me, as a mother or as a father, would you deny your own child or even someone else's child a
blood transfusion that may save his or her life? Would you deny that child the right to live? If you really
love your child, could you merely say that God forbids blood transfusions? It is unfortunate that certain
people should think in such a fashion and misinterpret biblical writings so wrongly. God loves all of the
people that He created, everyone without exception. I am certain that He does not want us to deny
anyone a blood transfusion when it is necessary and which may save that person's life.
To deny anyone the right to live is equivalent to first degree murder. Anyone who refuses to allow
that a blood transfusion be given, when needed, should be arrested and charged with murder. They
should be brought to trial for their false action. Those of you who attach themselves to such a false
theory, and who have denied someone else the right to live, I am certain that you have trouble sleeping
at night, your conscience is most probably telling you that what you did was wrong, morally and
spiritually.
However, I am also very happy to discover that the civil courts now take action in such cases and
become the ward of that person so that a life may be saved by a necessary blood transfusion. It is the
proof that certain people are capable of reacting with a lot of common sense, they are those who not
afraid to take the necessary action when the need arises.
In this particular story, God also tells us that convicted murderers should also shed their own blood
to atone for their sins. Our modern day politicians have gone through great debates to discuss the matter
of the death penalty. Most of them have arrived at the conclusion that the death penalty should be
abolished, some countries have already abolished it although some other countries are now thinking of
bringing back the death penalty for proven murderers.
It is unfortunate that some politicians do not take the time to read the content of the writings of
Genesis which tells them how proven murderers should be dealt with. Many countries have now
removed the death penalty, my own opinion is that it may have been a mistake. I remember the days
when the death penalty existed for proven murderers and I also remember that, in those days, there were
very few killings. So the death penalty was a deterrent for would be murderers.
At the present time some states and certain countries have brought back the death penalty for
proven murderers. Is it a good thing? No, it is not. Let me explain : during the last few years, there have
been more and more people who have been convicted for murder by our overzealous courts and by
manufactured evidence planted by certain people. It was later discovered, many years later, that
someone else had committed the crime. The main problem lies with the judicial system who feel that
they have to convict someone, anyone, even though the clues to the crime are missing. Some of them
have fabricated evidence and put the blame on the wrong people. In these days, certain people have
taken it upon themselves to manufacture false evidence and sometime an innocent person gets
convicted and sent to jail for a crime which he did not commit. Those manufacturers of false evidence are
setting themselves up as the judge, the jury and the executioner. I wonder if they realize that after their
death, in the spirit world, they will have to answer to God for their false actions because He does not
tolerate false justice. Recently a certain person was released from jail after being there for more twenty
years. A judge of the higher court accepted the evidence that the man, although not the best person in
the world, was more than a 100 kilometres away at the time of the murder. It was also found that the
police had the proper information on file that the man was not guilty, one high ranking police officer from
that city had hidden the proof.God blessed Noah and his sons and said to
them, "Be fruitful and increase, and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you shall fall upon all wild
animals on earth, on all birds of heaven, on everything that moves upon the ground and all fish in the
sea ; they are given unto your hands. Every creature that lives and moves shall be food for you; I give
you them all, as once I gave you all green plants. But you must not eat the flesh with the life, which is the
blood, still in it. And further, for your life blood I will demand satisfaction; from every animal I will require
it, and from a man also I will require satisfaction for the death of his fellow-man. He that sheds the blood
of a man, for that man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God has God made man. But you must
be fruitful and increase, swarm throughout the earth and rule over it. Genesis 9 : 1 to 9 : 7
GOD'S COVENANT
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him:
"I now make my covenant with you and with your descendants after you, and with every living creature
that is with you, all birds and cattle, all the wild animals with you on earth, all that have come out of the
ark. I will make my covenant with you : never again shall all living creatures be destroyed by the waters
of the flood, never again shall there be a flood to lay waste the earth."
Genesis 9 : 8 to 9 : 11
God established an eternal covenant with Noah and with his three sons who
were with him. What is a covenant and what does it mean? The dictionary defines a covenant as such :
an agreement, a bargain, a sealed contract or clause of such a contract, an agreement between God
and his chosen people. Therefore, the story tells us that God made a promise (covenant) with Noah. God
promised that never again would He allow that the population of our world be destroyed by a flood of
events which proved to be so disastrous as it was in the time of Noah.
God will never allow that a nation annihilates itself into oblivion as the people of the continent of
Atlantis did. They destroyed not only the continent but everyone else who also lived there. That
continent is now buried beneath the shifting sands of the Atlantic ocean. However, parts of it have been
found in various locations. Therefore, It is no longer a myth; it has become reality.
God said this is the sign of the covenant
which I establish between myself and you and every living creature with you, to endless generation : My
bow I set in the cloud, sign of the covenant between myself and earth. When I cloud the sky over the
earth, the bow shall be seen in the cloud. Then will I remember the covenant which I have made between
myself and you and living things of every kind. Never again shall the waters become a flood to destroy all
living creatures. The bow shall be in the cloud; when I see it, it will remind me of the everlasting covenant
between God and living things on earth of every kind." God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the
covenant which I make between myself and all that lives on earth."
Genesis 9 : 12 to 9 : 17
God established an everlasting covenant between himself and every creature
which lives on earth. The bow in the cloud which God is referring to is the rainbow that we often see in
the sky after a rain. As we know, it always takes the form of an arc when seen in the clouds of the
heavenly sky. God made the promise that never again would He allow such troublesome situations in our
world (troubled waters) that could destroy all living creatures on planet earth. That is the reason why He
has chosen the rainbow as the sign of His covenant with us.
God will never allow that such situations ever occurs in our world again. He said that He will
intervene so that such situations are halted before they have a chance to develop. Mankind is not asked
to do anything because God's covenant is his own promise that he will not allow such happenings ever
again. It is a known fact that God never has or never will ever breaks his promises. As far as I know, He
has never broken any and He never will. For those of you who think that it is possible to break God's
covenant, I say to you become a searcher of the truth and discover that it is a great impossibility to do so.
No one can possibly ever break any promises that God has made.
The sons of Noah who came out of the ark
were Shem, Ham and Japheth; Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and
their descendants spread over the earth. Genesis 9 : 18-19
We are reminded once again that Noah had three sons and we are also given
their names. We are reminded that all of the people, who presently live on the earth, are all the
descendants of the second creation. We are all the descendants of Noah and his three sons. As can be
seen, through our own study of scriptures, the Bible did not tell us that we were the descendants of
Adam and Eve. No, it has repeatedly told us that we are all the descendants of the three sons of Noah.
Adam and Eve were part of the first creation and, as we previously discovered, Adam belonged to the
race of the giant men and may have also been the first prophet sent to humanity.
We previously discovered that the story of Adam and of his descendants is the story of God's
prophets, which He continuously sent to us and which mankind continued to ignore. Let us continue to
verify the story of Noah which mentions the time after which he and his family disembarked from the ark.
Let us also remember that the ark (arc) mentioned is not physical, it most probably represents God's
covenant with all of mankind, symbolically.
When Noah woke from his drunken sleep, he learnt what his youngest son had done to him, and
said : Cursed be Canaan, slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers." And he continued: "Bless, O Lord,
the tents of Shem; may Canaan be his slave. May God extend Japheth's bounds, let him dwell in the tent
of Shem, may Canaan be their slave." After the flood Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years, and he
was nine hundred and fifty years old when he died. Genesis 9 : 20 to 9 : 29Noah, a man of the soil, began the planting
of vineyards. He drank some of the wine, became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. When Ham, father
of Canaan, saw his father naked, he told his two brothers outside. So shem and Japheth took a cloak,
put it on their shoulders and walked backwards, and so covered their father's naked body; their faces
were turned the other way, so that they did not see their father naked.
The story is now telling us that Noah was a man of the soil. In other words, he
was a man who enjoyed gardening. It would also seem that people of those days did not built houses
yet, they were tent dwellers. They most likely made tents from the furs of the animals which they
slaughtered for food. Is the story also telling us that Noah was the first man who learned to make wine?
Perhaps Noah was not aware that the juice of the grape had now turned into an alcoholic beverage
which we today call wine. It would seem that the story is telling us that he must have liked the drink
that he or someone else had made. He drank too much of it and he fell asleep drunk from the fermented
juice of the grapes.
The next part of the story has a flaw in it. It says that Noah's youngest son, Canaan, was cursed by
Noah. But Canaan was not Noah's youngest son, he was his grandson. He was the son of Ham. It would
seem that, in those days, the word grandson did not yet exist or perhaps the people who translated the
story translated it wrongly, it should read the youngest son of Ham or better yet it should say Noah's
grandson.
There is still something missing in the story because Canaan had nothing to do with the incident
that took place inside of the tent, or did he? So why is Canaan cursed? There is a possibility that Canaan
was the one who made the wine and, perhaps, the story is trying to tell us that God put a curse on those
who make alcoholic beverages. We may discover the answer to that question later on in our study or,
maybe, there are no more clues to this story and we will never be able to discover the answer. it is
possible that Canaan had learned the making of wine from the juices of the grapes.
THE THREE SONS OF NOAH AND THEIR DESCENDANTS
These are the descendants of the son's of
Noah, Shem, Ham and Japeth, the sons born to them after the flood. Genesis 10 : 1
There is another flaw in this story. I suspect that it has not been translated
properly. My opinion is : I suspect that the people who did the translation did not understand it so they
may not have been aware what it was actually saying. Noah's sons remained in the ark for all of those
years and their wives did not conceive any children after all that time? Where did Canaan come from,
was he not the son of Ham? It is another proof that the biblical story of Noah has to be symbolic. Is the
Bible flawless or are there some mistakes which have infiltrated into it?
The Bible is the word of God which has been passed on to humanity, I am certain that it was flawless
when it was originally written. However, it has been translated from its original language to many other
languages and that is probably where some of the errors have infiltrated it. The people who translated it
often translated the words, which were sometimes symbolic, and not the ideas. Therefore it cannot
possibly contain a flawless text since humans are not flawless.
We now have proof that the original writings of all of the Holy books have been corrupted. The early
fathers of those religions re-wrote those books, the proofs are given us in chapter two and three of the
writings of Revelation.
The names of all of the descendants of the three sons of Noah are now given
us. But those quotations are mentioning their genealogies, it says that Noah's descendants eventually
separated into various nations, each nation speaking its own language.
The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizrain, Put and Canaan. The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah,
Raamah and Sabtecha. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Cush was the father of Nimrod,
who began to show himself a man of might on earth ; and he was a mighty hunter before the Lord, as
the saying goes, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord." His kingdom in the beginning consisted
of Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. From that land he migrated to Asshur and
built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen, a great city between Niveneh and Calah. From Mizraim
sprang the Lydians, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtutites, Pathrusites, Calushites, and the Caphtorites,
from whom the philistines were descended. Genesis 10 : 6 to 10 : 14
Canaan was the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and heth, the Jebusites, the Amorites, the
girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later
the Canaanites spread, and then the Canaanite border ran from Sidon towards Gerar all the way to
Gaza; then all the way to Sodom and Gomorrah, Adman and Zeboyim as far as Lasha. These were the
sons of Ham, by families and languages with their countries and nations. Genesis 10 : 15 to 10 : 20
Sons were also born to Shem, elder brother of Japheth, the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. The
sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and
Mash. Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber. Eber had two sons: one was
named Peleg, because of his time the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan, Joktan
was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmoth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. They lived in the eastern hill-country, from
Mesha all the way to Sephar. These were the sons of Shem, by family and languages with their
countries and nations. These were the families of the sons of Noah according to their genealogies,
nation by nation; and from them came the separate nations on earth after the flood.
Genesis 10 : 21 to 10 : 32 At this point in time there is something that must be mentioned and which
pertains to the following story that is mentioning the tower of Babel. We will encounter a controversy in it
and, hopefully, we will remember what the previous stories have told us so that we are better prepared to
deal with it.
We previously read that Ham had fathered four sons and that his first son was named Cush. Then
the story goes on to say that Cush had fathered Nimrod who became a mighty hunter. The story also
tells us that Nimrod was a King because he had a mighty kingdom. His kingdom consisted of Babel,
Erech and Accad. That kingdom was located in the land of Shinar. But Nimrod also migrated to Asshur
where he built Niveneh and three other cities.
The story goes on to say that Nimrod built a great city between Niveneh and Calah. It is the proof
that the earth was greatly populated at that time, otherwise why would there be a need to build great
cities. The story of Genesis is that of God's prophets, they were those who spoke to the people of this
world and who explained to them that there was a God and that He was the Mighty Creator. He was the
One who gave us our existence and who breathed life into us.
In the following presentation, we shall discover who were the people who built : The gigantic tower of BabelThese are the descendants of the sons of
Noah, Shem, Ham and Japeth; the sons born to Noah's sons after the flood are the following. The sons
of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz,
Riphath and togarmah. The sons of Javan: Elisha, Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim. From these the
peoples of the coast and islands separated into their own countries, each with their own language, family
by family, nation by nation. Genesis 10 : 1 to 10 : 5
