Focus Point # 7

How many times have the Jews and Arabs "gotten into it?" Who knows? I know I don't, nor do I believe any other human being knows. They've "mixed it up" so many times that I think the general attitude is, "Well, here they go again." They are like two kids constantly fighting and bickering, blaming each other. "You started it." "I did not, you did."

Well, for now, for the present, things seem to be settling down. So let's go back to Genesis and disobedient Cain killing his obedient brother, Abel. Cain, you'll remember, was sent off and away from the Adam and Eve family that was going to produce the Seed that would eventually strike a fatal blow to Satan and his seed. Cain thought for sure some other member of the family would retaliate and knock him off. But God said, "No, that won't happen. But you will move to a new location." And so he did. So the Adam and Eve blood line that would eventually produce the Seed of the woman would continue on.

Incidentally, the most unusual thing about that verse, Gen. 3:15, is that phrase "The Seed of the woman." The woman was rarely, if ever, spoken of as the one who would produce "the seed." In this case the prophecy was right on! It would not be the seed of the father because there was no earthly father. Jesus, the Seed, masculine, singular was virgin born.

Well, again back to Genesis. Satan found out that his plan to nullify that Gen. 3:15 prophecy went "in the tank!" That one-at-a-time plan would never do it. So his next plan was to attack the WHOLE HUMAN RACE!

No doubt, when some of you read what I'm about to tell you, you'll write me off as a real nut case. But let me assure you, my view is held by many very reliable and intelligent Bible scholars. I'm referring to the conditions and circumstances in Genesis chapter 6 that led up to the Flood. I believe some of the fallen angels that were expelled from Heaven, along with Lucifer who became Satan, left that angelic state, became demons and infiltrated the human race in the form of human beings and sexually molested some of the women. The result was they produced almost a super human being called in the Bible "giants." These beings were born, not in the line of Adam, but in the line of Satan himself. Thus, they had no God consciousness which every human being possesses, born of a natural birth.

If Satan could produce a being not out of the Adam and Eve relationship, he would then be successful in nullifying the Gen. 3:15 promise of the "Seed of the woman."

God's answer to that evil, vile demonic attack was that wonderful word we call GRACE. Gen. 6:8, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." So God told Noah to start building an Ark. Build a big boat because someday it would start to rain, which had never happened before. Along with that, He told Noah the Flood would not come for 120 years. God, through Noah, invited folks to go on the boat ride of all boat rides. But they all refused! Reason? They liked the giants! They were big, strong, handsome kids. Parents and grandparents alike were blown away by these new specimens. Remember, this went on for 120 years. And the longer it went, the better they liked it. That was the evil part. The human race became so evil and wicked, that God stepped in, sent the Flood and destroyed?... no, God didn't destroy the human race....HE SAVED IT to again preserve His promised Seed (masculine singular).

I would imagine some will object to these fallen angels, demons who "left their first estate" found in Jude, verse 6, and you'll quote Matt. 22:29-30. "Jesus answered and said unto them, you do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor or given in marriage, but are like the angels of God IN HEAVEN." But whatever you do, don't leave out those two words in verse 30, "in Heaven." These fallen angels were NOT IN HEAVEN, they were on the earth.

One more thing about the days of Noah, Mat. 24:36-38. Just look what they were doing, would you! They were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. Business as usual. I've done those things, eat, drink, marry, given in marriage and so have you. God didn't send the Flood because of the eating and drinking. The problem was the marrying and the giving their children in marriage. They were fascinated with that giant business! They showed total apathy - "We don't care what God thinks." Now that's 2006 for sure. And it will be again just prior to the Second Advent when Jesus returns as the King of Israel. With all of the wars, death and sufferings during the Great Tribulation....it will be total apathy.

So, Satan was foiled again. He tried to destroy the human race BUT GOD saved it and preserved that ROYAL LINE for the coming King.
