BOOK OF GENESIS

Genesis – Chapter 8

Genesis 8:1 says, “And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;” “Wind” means “breath of air.” “Asswaged” means ‘to subside, abate, decrease.” Therefore the waters that had been upon the earth have now subsided. Our Father God never leaves or forsakes His children, always protecting them when you are obedient as Noah was. This means raising your children and family in the ways of our LORD. In order for this to be accomplished you must understand yourself what “thus saith our LORD.”

Genesis 8:2 says, “The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;” The latter day rains, satan cast to this earth deceiving most of the people of this world into believing he is our True Christ as this generation comes to its end shall subside as well. All of those false teaching, that new world religious order and giving and taking in marriage {spiritually speaking} with the fallen angels looking as ministers of peace will subside, end, when Christ Jesus returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords” and every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue shall confess “Father God Almighty.”

Genesis 8:3 says, “And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.” “One hundred and fifty days” is that “five month period of time [Revelation – Chapter 9]” satan shall be upon this earth, May through September, deceiving all who do not have the Seal of Father God within their minds, which is Truth of His Word. Revelation 12:16 says, “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. “Earth”, symbolic of “mother nature” which is “wisdom, being that standard our LORD shall lift up against satan [dragon] and his fallen angels when they are upon this earth, de facto.” Mother nature, the spirit of truth, protects the very elect of our Father God since she is wisdom as Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear {love, reverence} of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools {the Biblically illiterate} despise wisdom and instruction.” The source of all wisdom comes from Father’s Word and our love for Him, being disciplined to study. All through the Holy Bible, Father has used nature to defend His children against their enemies. There were floods, earthquakes and hail. The sword of Truth is Father God’s Word and that is what shall come out of the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ when He returns. However, what will come out of the mouth of satan as the anti-christ is a flood of deceptions and lies as he distorts the Word of Father God, making it look holy as he strengthens his false religion. Christ has foretold us all things in Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke Chapters 17 & 21.

Genesis 8:4 says, “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.” “Ararat” means “the curse reversed: precipitation of curse – high ground.” Father God is so loving and kind toward His children as He teaches us His Word right and in order. Remember our LORD, when creating the Heavens and the earth, “rested” on the “seventh day.” Christ Jesus is our “rest”, our “Sabbath” since He is the very Word of Almighty God. This is why our “rest within our LORD” is everyday which means you should be studying Father’s Word daily since this is where your “spiritual completeness” comes from. Imagine if Father, for one day, made up His mind not to be here for His children who seek Him, as well as for those who do not.

Genesis 8:5 says, “And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.” “Ten” means “testimony, law and responsibility.” Noah assuredly had a testimony of the love, power and might of our Father God Almighty. Between the seventh month the ark rested on high ground until this time, the tenth month, means a “three month” period of time. “Three” means “Resurrection, Divine Completeness and Perfection – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Genesis 8:6 says, “And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:” “Forty” means “trials, probation and testing.” It is through the “grace {five}” of Father God that all shall be tested when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. The very elect know the truth and it is hopeful that many shall come to this same understanding before our Lord Jesus Christ returns. For those who continue to worship the beast [satan] until actually seeing Christ Jesus’ return, thank Father God Almighty for the Millennial Kingdom teaching, Christ Jesus reigning as “King of kings and Lord of lords”, that all of Father’s Children have the opportunity to come to truth and become a part of a “new beginning {eight}”, which is the “Eternal Earth Age.”

Genesis 8:7 says, “And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.” A raven is an unclean bird as is taught in Leviticus – Chapter 11, which means as a scavenger, will eat anything. The waters subsiding, there was plenty of food for that raven who no longer had a need to return to the ark for nourishment. Look at it as a selfish, illiterate act and relate it to mankind today. Just like that raven, many have unclean spirits in that they believe the doctrines, traditions and lies of those claiming to be ministers of Father God, who are not, therefore not seeking the ark of protection offered by our LORD. Just as this raven, those calling themselves christians, who are not because they are void of truth, are feasting on false teachings that separate you from walking a Christ-like path. You will not return to Father God once you are loosed to feed spiritually on the play-acting and foolishness of Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus with their hallelujah corners who cause you to feel good physically. This is the manner in which satan works. This creature wants you to feel good so your eyes are not on the discipline and obedience spiritually that is necessary to be a man or woman of our one True Father God. It is unhealthy to feed yourself spiritually with those doctrines that teach you to fly away, any moment, rapture since this is a trip straight into the arms of satan, which mean you are away from Father God.

Genesis 8:8 says, “Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;” A dove is a clean bird as it symbolizes the “Holy Spirit of Father God.” Matthew 3:16 & 17 says, “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:” “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Genesis 8:9 says, “But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.” The raven, unclean, even though the waters were still subsiding, found that it could survive on those unclean things [satan’s lies] floating around, and the dove, clean, wanted no part of that floating filth and returned to the ark for its protection because Christ Jesus {rest} was there, upon that ark of shelter. The raven, symbolic of many of mankind claiming to be christians, are happy to bask in the babble, confusion and the unclean teachings of their religious beliefs. The dove, symbolic of Father’s election, once coming to the knowledge of truth, will only partake of that same truth of Father’s Word, standing on faith and being led by the Holy Spirit. Christ Jesus left us His Spirit to lead, guide and direct our paths when you open your heart seeking knowledge from a seed planted, praying to Father God always to grant that increase of understanding that comes with studying and falling away from those houses of Bethaven and becoming a part of the family of Christ Jesus, attending His house of prayer and teaching, Bethel wherein lies your rest.

Genesis 8:10 says, “And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;” Having spiritual completeness in Father God means you have rest in Christ Jesus, who is our Living Word.

Genesis 8:11 says, “And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.” The olive leaf in the dove’s mouth was obviously taken from a living tree and now Noah knew that the waters were truly subsiding and vegetation was once again upon the earth. “Pluckt” means “freshly picked, freshly plucked, fresh-picked.” With this also comes the understanding that Noah’s flood was not the flood taught of in Jeremiah – Chapter 4 since within this flood everything was destroyed; mankind and animal life, vegetation, all was destroyed, and nothing existing as that First Earth Age met its demise. With Noah’s flood which is the Second Earth Age we now live in, Father did not destroy all things which should be obvious since the dove brought back an olive leaf, therefore meaning flood waters only covered this vegetation and you are still living in the flesh from that time, generation to generation; therefore our LORD destroying the evil that was upon the earth and not the earth itself. Our Father, through this flood, brought about the demise of his disobedient children along with the offspring of the fallen angels that had mixed with mankind, the purpose being satan trying to destroy the lineage through which Christ Jesus would be born. Noah was a good and faithful servant of our LORD who preserved him and his family for a new beginning, and two of every kind upon the whole earth upon the ark, satan unable to stop the plan our Father has put into place for the birth of His Son to be born from above and walk with mankind. The olive leaf has so much involved with it spiritually. Hebrews 1:9 says, “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” Almighty God loves each and every one of His children, however He despises sin. It is for this cause, loving us so much, that our “LORD God Almighty, YAHOVAH Himself”, personified Himself through the flesh, being born from above, through our “Yeshua Christ Jesus.” Father God has anointed mankind with Christ Jesus, “Christ” meaning “Anointed One.” When you anoint with “olive oil”, it is an expression of believing in Christ Jesus and the sacred name of Father God. “Olive” means “El-ah-Yah”, which is “Father’s Title and Sacred Name.” When you anoint yourself or a loved one, and no you do not have to have man’s credentials to anoint, you demonstrate to Father your belief and love in Him and Christ Jesus. You show Father that you believe in the power of His might. James 5:14 & 15 says, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders {very elect} of the church {Smyrna and Philadelphia}; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:” “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” It is not the oil itself that heals one who is sick, be it spiritually, physically, mentally or emotionally, rather, it is faith, love, obedience and trust in Almighty God when you obey and follow His instructions, which brings our LORD pleasure, and causes our Father to heal that one anointed when we pray so in the Name of Christ Jesus.

Genesis 8:12 says, “And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.” When Christ Jesus is your daily Sabbath, and you are guided by the Holy Spirit, there is peace within your spiritual self. The “Fruits of the Spirit” are “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance [Galatians 5:22 & 23].”

Genesis 8:13 says, “And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], the first [day] of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.” Genesis 8:14 says, “And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.” “The sun, which is solar, represents righteousness”; which is of “Jesus Christ”, the time children of the Light, Father’s children, should be living by. This means you avoid that which is of darkness or night, by the moon, because that is lunar which is of the lunatic, satan. “The face of the ground was dry” exactly one solar year later from the day the ark was shut up under the protection of Father God. “Children of the light” receive prophesies in days {solar} and all prophesies given in months [lunar] have to do with satan.

Genesis 8:15 says, “And God spake unto Noah, saying,” Genesis 8:16 says, “Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.” A new time within this Second Earth Age has begun and Father has commanded Noah and his family to leave the ark. It took great patience on the part of Noah and his family as they waited on that ark for Father God to open the doors. “Patience” is key to being a part of Father’s plan. Revelation 6:10 says, “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Father God always comforts His election as Revelation 6:11 says, “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest {be patient} yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.” Hebrews 12:1 says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” It is written in II Peter – Chapter 3, our Father is “longsuffering”, which means “He has a lot of patience.” Just as our LORD patiently waits for all of His children to be born from above, giving all the opportunity to accept Christ Jesus as Savior, repent of sins daily and return to our Father God with pure love for Him, we who are weary of this world, knowing Father God has a perfect plan, must likewise be patient and wait. Psalms 37:14 says, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

Genesis 8:17 says, “Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.” Genesis 8:18 says, “And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:” Genesis 8:19 says, “Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.” It is once again time to replenish the whole earth. It is necessary for all souls to be born, through woman, from above. All living things must replenish themselves as well since there is a need for the fowl, cattle and creeping things to maintain the needs of the flesh and be offered for sacrifices to our LORD. There are also the scavengers which are not fit for food or sacrificing however serve the purpose of keeping the earth clean be it land, water or air, as well.

Genesis 8:20 says, “And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.” Father God alone is worthy to be praised and Noah built the first altar to offer a sacrifice of love to our Father God Almighty. “Burnt offerings” means “to cause to ascend - smoke.” Revelation 8:3 & 4 says, “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.” “And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.” This angel makes sure that all of our prayers are heard by our Father God. These prayers are precious, so much so that our LORD treasures them, which is to say He remembers each and every one of them because they are from His children whom He loves. When the bottle is opened all these prayers flow up to our Father with much essence from “the smoke of the incense.” These prayers are lifted to our LORD as He carries out His promise to fulfill all prayers that are within His good will or plan. With prayer comes patience.

Genesis 8:21 says, “And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.” Father God was well pleased with this sacrificial offering from Noah and because of this pure dedication of offered love, our Father made a promise to Noah and His family, and to all of mankind as well. Our LORD lifted the curse from the ground meaning He has promised to never bring about the destruction of the earth by water ever again.

Genesis 8:22 says, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Father God has made a covenant, a promise to His children that this earth shall never see its demise by a flood or any other form of natural disaster or one precipitated by mankind such as a nuclear disaster. At the appointed time, Father’s Word has declared that satan and his fallen angels shall be cast to this earth and this vile one will sit in the seat of Almighty God in Jerusalem claiming to be our True Christ. For a five month period he will be deceiving all those who do not have the Seal of Truth within their minds which is the Word of Almighty God, with a flood of lies that he is our True Christ. How would it be possible for satan to take on this role of deception if Father plans on destroying the earth by natural disaster or by allowing mankind to initiate the same. The only total destruction that shall be upon this earth will be that spiritual covering of Biblical illiteracy that shall lead most of mankind to make folly {spiritually speaking} in the bed of satan, bowing down and glorifying death himself because of ignorance of Father’s Word, which is a natural disaster. When this spiritual destruction comes, as Noah, the very elect of Father God shall be under His ark of protection, “fulfilling the plan of our LORD” as we stand on the “Rock of our foundation who is Christ Jesus.”
