The Real Noah

Since there has been a lot of hoopla concerning the movie Noah, I thought I would give my proverbial two cents. First of all, any time that Hollywood and a producer that is atheist illustrates a Bible character or story you have to be suspect. They're viewpoint will be perverted and twisted as a result of their soul being littered with sin. We must remember that Hollywood's agenda is not about staying true in biblical accuracy nor are they concerned about the souls of men. Therefore, they will circumvent the subject of sin and remove the need of a Savior. Their agenda is to make money, and to make sure that the script does not produce guilt in their own conscience and those who will be watching.

The story of Noah and the reason of judgment was not about:

• Meat eaters against vegetarians
• The ruining of nature by human beings
• Environmentalism

It was about:

• Man’s open rebellion against God
• The corruption of the human race by fallen angels producing giant races
• False worship
• Injustice, cruelty, and oppression

The Dispensation of Conscience which was the span of time from the fall of man to the flood was 1656 years. Adam lived 930 years or well over half of this dispensation. HIs personal account of their beginning in the garden and their expulsion from this paradise would have been common knowledge to all that lived in this period. Yet, mankind rebelled and purposed to overthrow God from their lives and remove all mention and influence of his being from society. It sickened God to the point that he wished he never would have made man.   

Genesis 6:5-6 (KJV)
⁵ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
⁶  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Thank God for one man who was not corrupted by his environment, but remained true to God.

Genesis 6:8-9 (KJV)
⁸ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
⁹ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

In spite of all that is happening around us in the world today, we can be encouraged to remain faithful to the Lord. If you are feeling alone, abandoned, or no one cares… take comfort in knowing that God has not left you. Noah had no one to encourage him, help him, and pray for him, but he had a close relationship with God. It turned out to be sufficient in keeping him through the human storm of opposition  and the literal storm sent by God.

If Noah could do it before the early church, Pentecost, and  the cross, then so can we.
