BOOK OF GENESIS

Genesis - Chapter 9

Genesis 9:1 says, “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” Father God created this earth to be inhabited by His children. All souls must be born from above to love and please our Father. Our LORD God Almighty Himself was born from above through His Beloved Son Christ Jesus and it would be through this pure blood-line of Noah that our Messiah would be born and reside with mankind, fulfilling the plan of Almighty God, offering salvation that all who partake shall become of the family of Father God Almighty.

Genesis 9:2 says, “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.” Father God has given Noah, mankind, power over the animal world and expects us to demonstrate intelligence mingled with common sense when interacting with them be they domestic or wild, using them for the purpose intended.

Genesis 9:3 says, “Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.” Father God has created all things for a purpose and has provided meat, fruits and vegetables for the nourishment of our flesh bodies. As with anything, Father also has stipulations that must be adhered to since our LORD’S commandments, as we follow them, demonstrates our love, respect, discipline and obedience to what “thus saith our LORD.” Just as you feed and nourish the flesh, your spiritual self must be fed and nourished as well with the truth of our Father’s Word.

Genesis 9:4 says, “But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” Father God is saying the blood of the animals that are clean and fit for our flesh bodies to consume must be bled properly because the blood of these animals belongs to Him. Nourish your spiritual self by thinking about what our Father is saying here to us spiritually. “Life” means “soul, self, creature, person, that which breathes, living being.” Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Our Lord Jesus Christ gave mankind the gift of life when He shed His blood on that cross at Calvary. Hebrews 9:22 says, “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” “Christ Jesus” is “Father God Almighty Himself in the Flesh.” Christ taught that when you have seen the Son you have seen the Father [John 14:9], and in John 10:13 said, “I and [my] Father are one.” Father God loves His children so much that He personified Himself in the flesh through Christ Jesus, shedding His blood, tasting of death, that all of mankind could be released from “bondage, which is of satan.” Christ Jesus on that cross defeated “death, who is satan, the son of perdition.” Hebrews 2:14 & 15 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” “And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” What Father God has done for His children is surely the “greatest love of all.”

Genesis 9:5 says, “And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.” Father God is handing down, setting up His laws that are to be observed, followed and respected by mankind, governing our lives. Following the laws of Father God Almighty keeps order and when we drift away from that natural order you can rest assured there will be chaos and confusion. Father God is telling us that if you take the life of another that He requires your life in return. This brings us back to the “blood.” When the blood leaves the body, that same self shall perish, the spirit of that flesh body returning to Father God. These are the laws that were handed down to Noah and would later be given to Moses, and these are the same laws, to this day, that mankind should be living under. When any are so quick to blame Father for the conditions of the world or wonder why He does not stop the unrighteousness, the answer is clearly expressed; observe our LORD’S laws and commandments as they have been given to us and watch the chaos and confusion turn to right and just. Do not blame Father God for the disobedience of mankind who decided to do things their way. Excluding Father from any phase of life will only nourish disaster. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 & 18, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” “Sheddeth man’s blood” means when one premeditates and takes the life of another, that murderer should in kind be executed so his spirit returns to Father God. Our Lord Jesus Christ was born from above and the children of Cain, who is the son of satan, bruised His heal, murdering our Lord. This was premeditated murder, planned and carried out and Father God will have His revenge as the head of satan shall be crushed at the appointed time. This is the judicial law of our Father, Christ shedding His blood on that cross bringing about salvation for mankind and likewise defeating death who is satan who shall ultimately pay the price by existing no more.

Genesis 9:7 says, “And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.” Christ Jesus said in John 15:4 & 5, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” “I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Genesis 9:8 says, “And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, ”Genesis 9:9 says, “And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;” Father God has promised salvation to all of mankind from generation to generation through Christ Jesus.

Genesis 9:10 says, “And with every living creature that [is] with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.” Genesis 9:11 says, “And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.” Father God has promised there shall never be another flood as was during the time of Noah and it is through faith that we believe that which our Father speaks. Our LORD is Faithful and True. Even the flood of lies that shall come from the mouth of satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ shall not overtake you if you have the seal of Father’s Truths within your mind since this gives power over satan.

Genesis 9:12 says, “And God said, This [is] the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that [is] with you, for perpetual generations:” Father God is giving us a “token” which is a “sign” to remind us of His promise that the earth will never ever be flooded with water as it was in Noah’s time.

Genesis 9:13 says, “I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” The sign Father has given us that He will never destroy the earth by water again is the “rainbow.”

Genesis 9:14 says, “And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:” Every time you see that rainbow, that is our Father God smiling upon His children, assuring that He always keeps His promises which should bring joy to your heart and increase your faith. Revelation 4:3 says, “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.” Our “Father God’s appearance” is likened unto translucent, divine gemstones, “His Shekinah Glory shining forth”, embraced in the radiance of the prismatic rainbow’s brilliance. Revelation 10:1 says, “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:” This is the very angel of Almighty God appearing in magnificent beauty of the Shekinah Glory of our Father. John was brought to the Day of our Lord to see all those things that shall befall the end of this generation and to pen them so that we may know and understand what happens before we return to Christ. This angel appears clothed as a “cloud”, in pure white, which is righteousness. The beauty of a “rainbow” is the radiance of Almighty God’s Glory, a divine promise of grace and mercy. His face as the “sun” and feet as “pillars of fire”, as Christ Jesus is the Light of the World. Within this you can see the “full pattern of the Godhead {Father, Son and Holy Spirit}.”

Genesis 9:15 says, “And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Father God is letting us know that He never forgets His promises and even as His cup of wrath is poured out as this Flesh or Second Earth Age comes to its end, it shall not be against those who love, have faith and follow His Word, rather it shall be against Father’s enemies. Isaiah 54:7 – 10 says, “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.” “In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.” “For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.” “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.”

Genesis 9:16 says, “And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.” When you see a rainbow our Father sees it as well and just as our Father remembers the covenant made with His children, so should we not forget the precious love of our LORD.

Genesis 9:17 says, “And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.” When Father is a part of your life as you belong to the family of Christ Jesus, Father’s token of love is upon and always with you. When Father makes a covenant with His children you can rest assured that it shall never change, it is everlasting.

Genesis 9:18 says, “And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.” “Canaan” means “lowland – to be humble, be subdued.” Canaan has been taught of here before he was even born.

Genesis 9:19 says, “These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.” This is the family through which Messiah Christ Jesus would be born. Everyone has a generation or family you are born through to be made whole within the flesh, however when you love our Father, keep His Commandments, know His promises, having the seal of truth within your mind, all are a part of the many-membered body of Christ Jesus which means you are a member of His family.

Genesis 9:20 says, “And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:” It is taught in James 5:7, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” Tillers of the field are the very elect of Father God who plant seeds of truth in the minds of people, praying that it is accepted as those seedlings are taken to Father God through Christ Jesus for understanding. Father God is patient as He waits for His children to come to understand His Word, their minds sprouting, growing, prepared for the harvest and being a part of the wedding feast with our Lord Jesus Christ when He returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Genesis 9:21 says, “And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.” It is necessary that the very elect while planting seeds of truth do not become carried away, overzealous, causing themselves to lose focus {drunken} on those things which are necessary to stand with our Father as Noah did, feeling good about the seedlings planted that you leave yourself spiritually exposed and unconscious.

Genesis 9:22 says, “And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.” Genesis 9:23 says, “And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.” “Nakedness of his father” means Noah’s wife.” Ham committed an incestuous act with his mother and his brothers were not a part of it, rather taking that blanket and with their backs to her, covering up her nakedness. This is why Ham was Canaan’s father and Noah’s wife was his mother. When this act took place, Father had not yet placed a law against it and this is the reason why Canaan was named even before the act took place, before he was even born. Father God handed down the law against incestuous acts in Leviticus – Chapters 18 & 20. From the day Father handed down that commandment incestuous acts are now sinful and our LORD is not pleased when it occurs. Spiritually, when you are Biblically illiterate and do not know and understand that satan will be cast to this earth as the first/false christ and you bow down and worship him, giving and taking in marriage with the fallen angels as well, you are committing a morally corrupt act. This is why Christ Jesus taught in Mark 13:17, “But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Jesus Christ is our Bridegroom and He, having ascended to be at the right hand of His Father, is away from His bride {mankind}, the church, who is mankind, His family, for a short time. When our Lord returns at the Seventh Trump, He expects to find His intended bride working in the field, faithfully waiting for Him, in the service of our Father God Almighty. However, when Christ returns and finds His bride standing with a child in her womb {spiritually speaking}, it means that she has taken the first to come as husband, being the anti-christ [satan]. Therefore, because of a lack of knowledge of our Father’s Word, the deceived have given themselves over to the false christ, “giving suck”, which means you are in the service of the enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is satan. With this, once you have bound yourself over to satan, our Father’s grace by faith is no longer extended to you since you have given your works or nurtured along the works of satan who has already been condemned to death from within.

Genesis 9:24 says, “And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.” Genesis 9:25 says, “And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.” Noah woke up from his drunken state knowing that Ham had slept with his mother and he cursed the child that was within his wife’s womb, naming him Canaan, before this child was even born. Father God did not curse Ham’s son, Noah did because he was hurt, angry and naturally upset. Father God will naturally be upset as well when He has loved and cared for His children and they turn their backs on Him and bow down and worship satan because of being deceived into believing he is our True Christ.

Genesis 9:26 says, “And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” Again, this is Noah speaking and not Father God. Genesis 9:27 says, “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” Noah was understandably upset over the fact that his son had laid with his mother, his father’s wife. Noah was head of the household and therefore had the power within his own home to bring about these words expressed. Noah is making it clear that he wants nothing to do with this child that is born between his wife and son.

Genesis 9:28 says, “And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.” Genesis 9:29 says, “And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.” Noah and his family were faithful to Father God and did not partake in the acts perpetrated by the fallen angels that caused Father to bring about Noah’s flood. However this just goes to show you that even the very elect are not perfect. There is only One who is Perfect and His Name is Christ Jesus. This is why our Father handed down His laws and commandments to govern our lives since this will help to keep us out of the troubles of the world, and even with that, flesh will sin. Father God, knowing all things, sent His Beloved Son to be sacrificed on that cross at Calvary, bringing about salvation so that all who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, loving our Father with pure hearts can come before His Throne confessing of sins daily and asking Father to help us to be better this day than we were yesterday. Study Father’s Word, understand His Truths having them sealed within your mind so you are under the blessings of Father God and not causing yourself to be cursed because you allowed yourself to be wholly seduced and deceived by satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.
