By choosing to reject the Commandment of God, Adam sold the entire human
race into slavery to sin and the devil.
This was proven thousands of years later when the Lord Jesus was tempted in
the desert. Jesus NEVER disputed with the devil about who owned the kingdoms
of the world.
ìAnd the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and
the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all
shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee
behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.î Luke 4:5-8 (emphasis mine)
The human race became so thorough at exercising its will against God that the
LORD decided to wipe all of mankind and every other air-breathing creature from
the face of the Earth.
He would do so by engulfing the entire world in water.
ìAnd the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air.î Genesis 6:7a
Yet, there was one man that the LORDís favor and mercy came upon! His
name was Noah.
ìNoah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.î Genesis 6:
Noah was a man that was obedient to the LORD. It is written that God said the
following to him.
ìAnd the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation.î Genesis 7:
Water Water Everywhere
Noahís family was going to be the building blocks of a new population. He was
given the duty to build a large ship that would be a safe haven during the deluge
that the LORD was going to send on the earth.
The Great Flood destroyed everything that lived on the land. Only Noah, his
family and the creatures with him on the ark were saved.
