In this lesson on Genesis 8:1-19, "The Ark on Ararat," we learn again of the incredible faith of Noah, as evidenced by his great patience in waiting to hear from God for the proper time to exit the ark. We also learn of the faithfulness of God in keeping His Word by "remembering" those who belong to Him. We discuss (1) the remembrance of God, (2) the recession of the flood waters, (3) the rest of the ark (on Ararat), (4) the restraint of Noah, and (5) the replenishment of the earth.

Did you know that the ark of Noah came to its rest on Mount Ararat on the very same day Christ, after going down into the deep "waters of judgment" for us (His death), resurrected from the dead! [For a deeper study on the Ark as a type of Christ, see lesson #6 from our study on "Christ in Genesis" on this podcast.]

We discuss the significance of the raven and the dove sent by Noah out of the ark, as well as the importance of the word "ruach" (Hebrew) for "wind" in Genesis 8:1. These facts, plus a whole lot more in this study!

The world Noah and his family saw on their disembARKment was drastically different from the world they knew before the Flood. The world, as Noah had known it, had "perished" (II Peter 3:6). It was God's grace that provided the human race a new opportunity for a new beginning in an essentially new world.

In this lesson on Genesis 8:20-9:7, we will look at a significant altar Noah built to rightly worship God through an extremely generous burnt offering! We also discuss three promises made by God to Noah and four new conditions presented to Noah for "the new world order" of the post-Flood world. Those conditions had to do with (1) protection regarding animals, (2) permission regarding meat, (3) prohibition regarding blood, and (4) punishment regarding murder (capital punishment).

Genesis 6:9-22

In this lesson, we first have the joy of studying all about God's man, Noah. There is a lot we can learn from Noah living in our quickly degenerating world today! Against a hostile, godless, mocking world, Noah persevered for 12 decades! He did not bail out on his service to or his faith in God. He did not grow weary in well doing. He did not grow faith when, year after year, he was labeled a "fanatic" and a "lunatic". He only cared what God thought of him, not the opinions of evil men. We also learn from Noah HOW TO HANDLE LIFE'S STORMS!!

After discussing "God's Man," we look at "God's Plan" (6:11-13) by discussing seven sub-divisions: (1) the Corruption of that day, (2) the Craft Noah was instructed to build - learn the interesting detail of the Ark, (3) the Cataclysm that God was going to bring upon the earth, which he shared with Noah in verse 17, (4) the Covenant God made with Noah to protect him and his family (in the ark) from the coming "flood of waters," (5) the Christ, as He was prophetically portrayed by the ark (more ways than you can imagine!), (6) the Cargo (how could all those creatures fit in the ark? Find out. The fact is, they could fit with plenty of extra space! (7) the Concurrence; Noah did according to all that God commanded him (6:22)!

Genesis 7:1-24

"Mabbul" is the Hebrew word for the Noahic Flood. Many teach that it was merely localized. Not so! The Flood was global, and presented in this study is lots of evidence to support that claim!

Did you know God predicted the beginning of the Flood through the name "Methuselah"? Fascinating! Do you know when Methuselah died and what occurred right after his death (fulfilled prophecy). Why do you think Methuselah lived longer than any person "on record"? What attribute of God does his longevity demonstrate?

We discuss the geological, Biblical, and the "tradition-legend" worldwide evidences that support a global Flood.

Think how today's world is similar to the pre-Flood days of Noah's time, and and you will realize how close we are to another out-pouring of God's wrath on the entire globe! Not another Flood (per God's promise), but definitely a time of global, unprecedented Tribulation!

For four centuries, Heaven was quiet. No prophet thundered. No angel appeared. No fresh revelation came. And then — at the exact moment foretold by ancient prophecies, the silence was broken as the Lord of hosts picked-up right where He left off with His final Old Testament prophecy. Light was about to break into darkness once again, as it had at creation. In this powerful study, you’ll discover how God’s first words, “Let there be light,” echo through Scripture—from Genesis to Malachi, from the birth of the Baptist to the birth of Christ Himself. You’ll explore six miraculous conceptions that foreshadowed the seventh “virgin” conception – when God dwelt among us. You’ll learn of critical Messianic genealogies, a circumvented blood curse, and the absolute sovereignty of God Who moves empires, kings, and entire populations to fulfill every detail of His Word with perfect precision. This study unveils Jesus Christ as the Eternal Light, the promised Seed, the rightful King, and the God‑Man Whose coming changed history forever. If you want to hear prophecy come alive, if you want to better understand the glory of Christ in creation, in the incarnation, the transfiguration, and in personal regeneration, and if you want your faith strengthened by the God Who orchestrates all things for, you don’t want to miss this study.

In this second half of this study entitled, "When God Broke His Silence," we trace the breathtaking moments when God shattered the quiet of HIS-story—from the first cry of His incarnate Son in Bethlehem Ephrata to the prophetic signs surrounding His birth to God's broken silence two more times during Christ's earthly ministry. We explore five compelling reasons many Bible scholars (including most Messianic Jewish ministries) are turning to the view that "sees" the Feast of Tabernacles as the most fitting and theologically rich "season" for the arrival of the Promised Savior ("Emmanuel - God with us"). That seveth God-given feast of seven days (Leviticus 23) celebrates Deity dwelling (past and future) with His people, illuminating them with His light, and filling them with His life‑giving water.

We follow the timeline of Zacharias’s priestly service, the shepherds tending Temple flocks, the overflowing crowds of Tabernacles' pilgrims, and the prophetic symmetry of Israel’s feast-days' calendar. We meet the Bethlehem shepherds who first heard heaven’s announcement, and the Gentile Magi whose long journey brought them to worship the Child‑King of Israel and Light of the nations! Learn about the mysterious "star out of Jacob" foretold by the Gentile "prophet for profit," Balaam. Learn, too, of the connection of the wise men of the East to Daniel the prophet!

Finally, we look ahead to the next time God will break His now some 2,000-year silence, which will be an audible moment heard only by those who know Christ! The same Lord Who once cried from a manger will descend from Heaven with a shout as He calls His redeemed to meet Him in the air, to dwell (tabernacle) with Him forever. This study closes with an earnest invitation, which was actually given by God the Father when He thundered above the Mount of Transfiguration, "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. LISTEN TO HIM"!

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING LESSON!!! YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN! We discuss FALLEN ANGELS and their impact on the world of the pre-Flood days.

Sin grew rapidly more widespread and wicked as a proud and godless society developed from Cain's descendants. In time, the degeneracy of Cain's descendants spread to the descendants of Adam and Eve's other children. Finally, even Seth's lineage (with the exceptions in the Messianic lineage) allowed the great vileness of their inherited sin natures to rule their lives.

We discuss the very perplexing passage in the opening verses of Genesis chapter 6 about "the sons of God" seeing the fair "daughters of men" and "taking them wives of all which they chose" and how the result of that "union" was "mighty men which were of old, men of renown" and there is even the mention of "giants in the earth in those days". What is this all about? We discuss the three primary interpretations of the passage - and, believe me, it is fascinating!

Genesis 4:25-5:32

We discuss what Scripture says about Seth (son of Adam and Eve) and his godly line of descendants (up to the time of the Flood). When Seth was born, Eve understood he was the son (in replacement of Abel) from whom the Promised Seed of the woman (the Saviour/Messiah) would come. With Seth's son, Enos, we read of the first spiritual "revival"; Genesis 4:26 says men began to call on the name of the Lord, recognizing their dependence on Him (quite the opposite of Cain's descendent Lamech, who boasted of his self-sufficiency).

We discuss the antediluvian (pre-Flood) patriarchs: Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech (not the same Lamech of Cain's descendants), and Noah. When we look at the Hebrew meaning for the names of these 10 men, we AMAZINGLY FIND A DESCRIPTION OF JESUS CHRIST! We also learn about four antediluvian prophets (amazing men): Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah.
