Picking up from where I left off in the previous sermon, there are some other points to make concerning “the curse of Canaan” in Genesis.
The term “uncover nakedness” in Scripture usually refers to sexual contact, thus in this case, Ham had relations with his mother. Whatever actually happened in Genesis 9:20-25 we cannot be sure, but is left to speculation. It is true that when people are drunk and possibly passed out, they can easily be taken advantage of in a sexual way. But it is hard to prove if either Ham or his son Canaan did something like this. It could be that this case may not have been a sexual event at all.
In Jim’s sermon, given on November 14th of this past year (2021), he had the following quote from Josephus, the great ancient historian:
“He [Cain] first of all set boundaries about lands; he built a city, and fortified it with walls and he compelled his family to come together to it; and called the city Enoch, after the name of his eldest son Enoch….” – Antiquities of the Jews, Flavius Josephus, Book 1, Chapter 3, paragraph 2.
And what became of Cain’s descendants? Josephus adds in the same paragraph:
“Nay, even while Adam was alive [he lived 930 years], it came to pass that the posterity of Cain became exceedingly wicked, every one successively dying one after another, more wicked than the former. They were intolerable in war; and vehement in robberies; and if anyone were slow to murder people, yet was he bold in his profligate behavior, in acting unjustly, and doing injury for gain.”
In Old Testament times, Israel's wickedness had gone too far and to a point of no return. We are in that position again and we are in a state of extreme judgment. We must prepare for ongoing judgment.
Greetings Kindred and fellow Sheep. Is Sin blinding? Are People who practice Idolatry convinced that they do no such thing?Is our world in America today levels of both deception and extortion? Has this world of Malice ever been a friend to Jesus?
Can we hear our kindred now from Churchianity? “That word’s for Israel; it is not for us. All that is old stuff; it’s done away!”
Jeremiah 10:2 “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.”
“Learn not the way of the heathen.” Should Christians today learn the way of the heathen? Does that even sound good? Or should we learn “the way” of Jesus?
Many people have wondered why the Bible includes genealogical records. They have the impression that the Bible is a universal book for everyone; therefore, the question in the judeo-Christian mind is, “Why are these here? It doesn’t matter who you are.” Thus, they skip over these records as insignificant to the biblical revelation. But yet, these genealogies stand, in both the Old and New Testaments, staring us in the face, testifying to the racial context of the Bible.
The response most pastors give regarding genealogy is, “God cares about everybody and knows us by name.” That may sound sweet and caring, but that is not a serious response from a theological perspective. The serious Bible student knows that all Scripture must fit together as a harmonious and unified whole. This task is not always easy to do, and is why we end up with various different opinions and doctrinal positions among churches.
But first: In the News
Only PUREBLOODS will survive the vaccine / spike proteins cause genetic DISINTEGRATION — Natural News, Nov. 19, 2021
"Today’s podcast is a bombshell that needs to be understood by anyone hoping to survive the vaccine holocaust, because it’s really a “genetic bomb” against humanity."
When the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it was a call for the right of statehood rather than individual liberties. Many scores of years later many Americans began reading the affirmation that “all men are created equal” in different ways than the framers intended. When the Continental Congress adopted the historic text drafted by Thomas Jefferson, they did not intend it to mean individual equality. Rather, what they declared was that American colonists, as a people, had the same rights to self-government as other nations. Because they possessed this fundamental right, they could establish new governments within each of the states and collectively assume their “separate and equal station” with other nations. It was only in the decades after the American Revolutionary War that the phrase acquired its compelling reputation as a statement of individual equality.
There are those who would reduce Blood River to secular history, but the Holy Spirit will not permit me to ignore the divine ramifications and the miraculous destiny that our Lord has planned for His people, Israel. This is the extraordinary story of God delivering the Boers of South Africa in a one day battle against the fierce and unrelenting Zulu's in 1838.
Greetings Fellow Sheep, Kindred, and Neighbours. My name is Walter. We meet to share Resources in order to change what will happen tomorrow. Our desire to change what will happen tomorrow is the basis of our Unity. In a previous Lesson, The Birth of America, we asked:How do we discern between what works and what does not work to change what will happen tomorrow? What was Our Answer ? Understanding The History of We the People reveals what works and what will not work.
We discovered in our Lesson, The Birth of America, the “Action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776,” was not the fruit of Rebellion. Has anyone of the 27 charges against King George the III ever been disproven? Did we see The Evidence in our 1st Lesson, The Birth of America, that King George breached The Charters of all 13 Colonies and persuaded Parliament to treat them as Enemies? Did we see from The Evidence that The King of the British Empire violated all 13 Contracts of Government? Is Breach of Contract a serious charge in any Court?
