Genesis 9:11 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 anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis 9:12 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. 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth….. But the secular mind does not believe, and based on the perspectives they hold, commensurate action is sure to follow.
Observe carefully the reasons given for building the tower of Babel because as we stated earlier, the secular and the spiritual are at odds…. [Patriarchs & Prophets pp 119] One object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. By carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the Flood, they thought to place themselves beyond all possibility of danger.
And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the Flood…. Here it is again, the same strong spirit of unbelief by which the spiritual and the secular become opposed to each other. Jezebel blatantly refuses to believe that her sins and that of the nation is what brought on the devastating famine. Like with the people in Noah’s day, the go to cause is mostly global warming.
Genesis 11: 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
