“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecc 1:9
You can’t follow current events these days without hearing of genetic engineering, cloning or the debate over embryonic stem cells.
DNA - the blueprint of life, is present in every living thing. Within the double helix of anything with life lies a remarkable data storage system which - for you Matrix fans - happens to store a digital message.
Every detail of a living organism is stored in the strands of DNA. Every nanosecond, this data is accessed like a hard drive on heat, copied and replicated countless times on this planet.
God, our ultimate “geek” (with all due respect of course) continues to trash evolutionary thinking with the existence of DNA. Newly established sciences such as Information Sciences are screaming proof that there is an extreme intelligence behind all of life.
And God set this all in place back in pre-historic times. Thousands of years before the flood as He was master engineering all of reality, scripture records…
“And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.” Gen 1:11-13
“And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.” Gen 1:20-25
Do you get the impression that God creates and then allows His creation to re-create according to the pattern He created? DNA is His tool for allowing this to happen.
Then after He set all this in place, He created His ultimate earthly creature - mankind. A being in His image to subdue and rule over everything God had created and declared good.
But the enemy of God is not blind to the workings of God. By commanding some of his angels to have sex with humans, Satan knew that mankind would not reproduce according to it’s own kind.
A new hybrid creature, a demigod - half physical and half spiritual, would result. The DNA of mankind forever and irrevocably changed. The “seed of the woman” destroyed forever - therefore thwarting the Messiah to enter into human history and redeem man back to God.
You got to admit, Satan’s plan was as genius as it was evil. And to think that he almost achieved his goal is a sobering reality as when God surveyed the land, He only chose to save Noah and his family from the flood. So let’s look at Noah’s story.
“These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” Gen 6:9-10
You get the impression that Noah was a good guy with words such as “righteous man” and “Noah walked with God”. But the term “blameless in his generation” refers to his physical purity. The word “blameless” is the Hebrew word “tamiym” and is most often translated “without defect” and is splashed all over the pages of Leviticus when it talks about the physical purity of animals chosen for sacrifice.
So to unpack all this, Noah was a good guy, a righteous and Godly man. Furthermore, his lineage was also unblemished from what was tormenting earth - that is the unholy reproduction of demigod like creatures known as the Nephilim.
His wife and the wives of his sons must have also come from “blameless generations” as they were also saved. Which indicates that not all human DNA was corrupted. But is must have been very close as scripture records…
“The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.” Gen 6:5-6
And…
“Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” Gen 6:11-12
In those days, the heart of God was grieved that He had made mankind. Why? Because it had stopped reproducing after it’s own kind. What God had once declared very good, was now engulfed in a murderous and evil reality where even the plan of God was threatened unless He took a drastic step.
The flood.
I hope you now have a greater appreciation of why God used the flood to wipe mankind off the face of the earth. It wasn’t simply because there was sin on earth. There was a very specific sin on earth. But this specific sin raised it’s ugly head after the flood also and I’ll get into this next time also.
Furthermore, it was this specific sin which drove Hitler mad and was the cause of WW2. For those of you who want to race ahead, join the dots between Nephilim, Atlantis, Demigods, the Aryan Race and the Swastika.
Ah yes, the mystery of lawlessness held back has been raging for millennia. It wasn’t time during WW2. But will it be soon?
