Before the Flood: WHAT WAS THE WORLD LIKE BEFORE THE FLOOD

imagine a forgotten time long before the storms and Waters that shaped the Earth as we know it in the first chapters of the Bible especially the Book of Genesis we are transported to a world that transcends familiarity an era before the flood that would transform the face of humanity these accounts often shrouded in Mysteries and profound interpretations reveal a time of primitive Humanity characterized by extraordinary longevity intense Divine connections and an intimate proximity to the Creator where the very story of creation unfolded before our ancestors notable characters like Adam Eve Cain Abel and the eventual

hero Noah give us glimpses into a life that seems relatable numerous forces unite to cause the flood Satan and the Fallen Angels the first event that led to the flood occurred before the creation of the world that event event was the creation of the children of God in the biblical story of The Book of Job God reveals an event that occurred before the creation of the world according to job 38: 4-7 where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth let me know if you have understanding who determined its measurements if you know

or who stretched the line over it on what are its foundations founded or who laid its Cornerstone when the morning Stars sang together joyfully and all the children of God rejoiced it is revealed that Angelic beings referred to as morning stars and sons of God witnessed the creation of the earth and celebrated the glory power and wisdom of God involved in the process Before the Flood there was a fallen being the Bible only makes brief references to fallen angels as the vast majority of angels in heaven never strayed or turned to evil however some have

made this decision remembering that heaven was originally intended to be their home for all eternity but have now fallen from it what caused all this to happen however we cannot deny the fact that Angels possess Free Will and their fall can be seen in terms of this free will The Book of Jude makes this point quite clearly in Jude 5 and 6 but now I want to remind you even though you once knew everything that when the Lord saved a people bringing them out of land of Egypt he then destroyed those who did not believe

and the angels those who did not keep their original state but abandoned their own home he has kept under darkness in Eternal chains until the Judgment of the great day Jude states that the Angels did not guard their proper Dominion the expression proper Dominion can be interpreted as both government and starting point Angels were made specifically for the purpose of dwelling in heaven with God worshiping him and carrying carrying out his commands they were formed to glorify him just like human beings but these were designed to dwell on Earth while Angels were created to live

in heaven despite this these angels abandoned their Beginnings which is another way of saying they left their initial location in heaven Satan who disguises himself as an angel of Light leads these angels and acts as the leader of this Rebellion known as the Great Rebellion it was an event in which Satan and a portion of Heaven's Angelic Legions waged war against God and His angels in an attempt to overthrow God's Authority in the Eternal realm the devil devised a plan to overthrow God his creator and he and the angels who followed him ended up being

defeated in the conflict we have an account of this in the words of Jesus who was present Jesus spoke of the glory and Majesty he shared with God the Father before the world existed John 17:5 now therefore glorify me oh Father with yourself with that Glory that I had with you before the world was before the creation of the earth there was God and God had Majesty with his son Jesus declares I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven as it turns out Satan is much more than a red figure with horns and a trident

he is an ancient being with real spiritual power which he uses for evil and his own selfish purposes we fight but not against flesh and blood Paul said we are in a fight but it is not against flesh and blood Satan's kingdom is highly organized with different areas and levels of authority and its headquarters are in the Heavenly Realms this is a staggering fact but it is quite clear the fact that Satan leads a highly organized Kingdom surprises some people but there are many clear indications of this in the Bible a spiritual War Began it

is a conflict between two kingdoms one kingdom is ruled by God the Prince of Peace while the other is ruled by Satan the Prince of Darkness after being expelled from Heaven Satan and his followers compromised with each other and formed the rebel Kingdom In the Garden of Eden Satan launched his first attack against God's Authority on Earth Satan considered the Earth his domain and saw Adam and Eve as God's Invaders In His temp territory if God created Humanity to live on Earth in order to establish his kingdom Satan needed a plan of attack when God

created the world there was a place called Eden in the Hebrew language the word Eden means Joy or happiness it was a place of provision where a man could meet God according to Genesis 3:8 now in the perfect garden there was a special tree called the tree of knowledge of good and evil God told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any tree in the garden except this one Satan needed to destroy man's Destiny but how did the devil the ancient serpent get to Eve and use three strategic tactics against her the first was

the doubt did God really say it Genesis 3:1 you can almost hear the father of Lies interacting with Eve the deceiver then used his second strategy supposition making making Eve doubt whether the consequences of her Disobedience would actually result in her death as God had declared you will not surely die Genesis 3:4 the third and Final Approach used against Eve was Temptation God was disappointed because of her Disobedience they could no longer remain in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve had already made a mistake by eating the forbidden fruit Satan's subversive Counterattack completely overwhelmed

humans but God established a beach head in the Garden of Eden promising that the Serpent's head would be wounded by the woman's seed turning the tables on the tempter before expelling Adam and Eve from the garden God demonstrated his complete dominion over Satan the first murder Cain and Abel Genesis 4 someone pointed out that the sin committed by the first man led the second man to kill the third even though Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden God continued to bless them Eve gave birth to two sons Cain and Abel with the help of

the Lord they both grew up hearing stories about God and knew they had to offer sacrifices to their creator however while the Lord was concerned about Abel and his offering he was not concerned about Cain and his offering this enraged Cain despite God's warning for him to master sin Cain deceives his brother kills him buries him and completely disowns him asking am I my brother's King keeper afraid that others would kill him for his crime God placed a sign on Cain to protect him saying that whoever killed Cain would suffer Sevenfold Vengeance Genesis 4:15 Cain

was punished by becoming a Restless Wanderer far from home and family after being punished Cain went to live in a place called The Land of Nod East of Eden in this land Cain built a city called Enoch named in honor of his son his descendants included influential people of the time such as jabal the father of those who live in tents and raise cattle jubil the father of all who play string and pipe instruments and tubalcain who forged bronze and iron tools Genesis 4: 17-22 after Cain's punishment the story of two families follows a recurring

theme in Genesis unfortunately Cain's homicidal ways were passed down through his family line we find a man boasting about his own violence and by the time we reach his great great grandson evil has spread God's Perfect Design is only four chapters long and already we find people delighting in Bloodshed and disrespecting his plan for marriage Before the Flood polygamy was also passed down through the line of Cain until then a man and a woman were married for life but Cain's descendants had many wives in contrast to Cain's lineage God established a new family tree giving

Eve a son named Seth replacing Abel Seth exemplified the same type of worship as his late brother Abel as people began to call on the name of the Lord in connection with Seth Cain's form of worship which was proud pointed to himself while the humble form of worship practiced by Abel and Seth cried out to God Jude 11 woe to them they followed the path of Cain rushed into the error of balam in search of prophet and were destroyed in the rebellion of Kora it's no surprise that when God needed an obedient servant hundreds of

years later he chose Noah from the line of Seth Cain's Legacy was complicated on the one hand he and his family were really good at coming up with new ideas and ways of doing things but on the other hand they also had a lot of problems with fighting and harming others and this seemed to get worse over time this has become a symbol of what it is to be human a struggle between our potential for great good and our capacity for great evil in the generations after Adam the world became populated but it also became

filled with sin people were not kind to each other they lied stole and even killed during this period men lived extraordinarily long lives with their ages reaching into the hundreds it was a different time a time when Humanity was still closely tied to its orig Origins and the world itself was younger and fresher Adam and Eve had other Sons and Daughters after Cain and Abel and as their family grew civilization was born the Bible says that after becoming the father of Seth Adam lived 800 years and had other Sons and Daughters Genesis 5:4 as Adam

and Eve's children grew up they married and started their own families and the population began to grow steadily in addition to Cain and Abel Seth was another son of Adam who also had descendants including Enoch Methuselah and eventually Noah Adam the first man lived to be 930 years old Genesis 5:5 Yes you heard right 9 centuries he had children who also lived extraordinarily long lives his son Seth lived 9912 years Genesis 5:8 and Seth's son Enoch lived 905 years gen Genesis 5:1 as the generations passed each man fathered children and taught them about the ways

of the Earth how to cultivate the land care for the animals and also how to connect with God this lineage of people was special They Carried the seed of Humanity's First Union with the Fallen Angels however despite their long lives and profound wisdom these ancient people were not immune to the problems that often Afflicted Humanity such as jealousy anger and sometimes even violence however there was a man named Enoch the Book of Genesis 5 gives us the first mention of Enoch and this is a different Enoch not the son of Cain Genesis 5: 21 when

Enoch was 65 years old he became the father of Methuselah as we know from the Bible his son Methuselah was the oldest man recorded in the scriptures when studying biblical genealogies we discover that Enoch was Noah's great-grandfather Genesis 5:22 and 24 the Bible says that Enoch walked with God in an era when most of his contemporaries only had records of his birth and his children they also fathered Enoch who is like a breath of fresh air in the history books Enoch was introduced like the others but although he did not live as long as some

of the other men his testimony is remarkable the Bible say says that he walked with God and that when it was time to leave the Earth God took him without going through death as we know it description of him is short but meaningful and profound which means something about his pure walk with God his life has provided a model for so many people across different Generations teaching us to live for a unique audience quietly he teaches us to passionately pursue close fellowship with God knowing that as we do so we we will experience God in

a new dimension Genesis 5:4 Enoch's case was the first recorded abduction as God simply took him perhaps the communion was so intense that God's presence enveloped him and carried him away the book of Hebrews talks about men of whom this world was not worthy and despite the beauty of Enoch's life his was not entirely peaceful people lived long but not always well they had many years to hone their skills build things and explore the Earth but they also had more time to make mistakes stray from God's path and let their hearts become hardened this eventually

led to a world so corrupt so far from its divine origins with population growth expansion of tribes and families over time tribes and clans formed each descended from one of the original Patriarchs spreading across the land and finding new territor to call home as the population grew so did the need for different functions and professions people couldn't just be Shepherds and Farmers it was necessary to diversify Cain for example was a farmer Genesis 4:2 while his brother Abel was a Shepherd this suggests that even at this early stage roles were being defined based on need

and skill set tubal Kain a descendant of Cain became the instructor of every craft in bronze and iron Genesis 4:22 this indicates the emergence of more specialized professions such as metalogy musicians also made an appearance jubil another descendant of Cain was the father of all who play the harp and flute Genesis 4: 21 these roles allowed Society to become more complex and organized setting the stage for more advanced forms of civilization even though people learned new skills and jobs life before the great flood was neither perfect nor happy the Bible tells us that the Lord

saw how great was the wickedness of the human race on Earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only Evil all the time Genesis 6:5 in short Before the Flood Humanity expanded and diversified families turned into tribes roles became professions and civilization took its first steps the invasion of the Nephilim was orchestrated by the self-styled commander of the kingdom of darkness Satan who summoned his evil Legions to infiltrate Humanity with the intention of polluting the bloodline that would lead to the Messiah Genesis 6:1 and 2 when human beings began to

multiply on Earth and daughters were born to them the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and married any of them the sons of God as the Book of Job characterizes them are angels 2/3 of the Angels remained with God in the third heaven being elect Angels while one-third were expelled becoming Satan's Fallen Angels God's kingdom prospered in numbers and strength and feeling threatened the Prince of Darkness summoned his evil Legions to infiltrate Humanity these Fallen Angels descended to Earth and generated the Nephilim or Giants a Hebrew word that translates as

Fallen this satanic invasion of Genesis 6 corrupted the entire world the sons of God became the daughters of men and it is more accurate to understand the sons of God as demons angels in Rebellion against God or men possessed by demons the wickedness of humanity was on the rise Genesis 6: 1:5 in the first chapters of Genesis specifically in Genesis 6: 3:5 the Bible describes a picture of the world before the flood the Lord said my spirit shall not abide in man forever for he is carnal and his days shall be 120 years the Nephilim

were on Earth in those days and also later when the sons of God cohabited with the daughters of men generating powerful and famous Offspring The Lord saw that the wickedness of mankind was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of their hearts was continually evil the Earth was not a place of peace or goodness but rather one filled with sin violence and moral corruption imagine a world where people are consumed by their own desires always seeking to do whatever they want regardless of the cost to others honesty integrity and kindness are

not celebrated or understood virtues instead deception and manipulation rule the day everyone is in search of them eles and the fabric of society is torn apart by selfishness and evil in this environment families are not sanctuaries of love and support but battlefields of Deceit and betrayal neighbors don't look out for each other they seek to exploit each other governments are not institutions of justice but systems of Oppression maintaining the dominance of the powerful over the weak now enter into this chaotic World an unusual development the Nephilim the epilim were special and not like Ordinary People

they were very strong and Larger than Life but they seemed to make the world's problems even worse they were admired feared and perhaps even worshiped distancing people from the true God who had created them their strength made them objects of Fascination but they were part of a world that was increasingly immersed in chaos and sin it was in this context that God saw the evil of humanity the spiritual and moral decadence God was saddened by creation Humanity the jewel of creation had gone asay instead of living in harmony with each other and the world people

were consumed by violence evil and deceit God looked at his creation and felt immense Sadness the Bible says that the Lord regretted having made human beings on the earth and his heart was deeply troubled Genesis 6:6 it was a Divine sadness a sadness so profound that it transcended human understanding imagine a parent devastated by the actions of a misguided but infinitely enlarged child and so in his great pain God made a difficult decision Genesis 6: 7 then the Lord said I will destroy and annihilate Humanity that I created from the surface of the Earth not

only man but also the animals the reptiles and the birds of the air for it saddens me deeply to see the sin of humanity and I regret having done them God was upset with the actions of the people he created and had no option but to heal a world that was heading towards chaos yet even in the midst of this dark chapter in human history there was a glimmer of hope a man named Noah Genesis 6:8 the world had gone astray but Noah stood out as a Beacon of Hope a man of integrity and Faith

Genesis 6:9 the these are the generations of Noah's family Noah was a righteous man blameless among the people of his time Noah walked habitually with God Noah was born into the lineage of Adam descending through Seth Enoch Kenan and several other ancestors who carried the torch of righteousness through the generations eventually this lineage led to Noah a man who not only carried the torch but allowed it to shine brightly in his life he was also a family member man father of three sons Shem ham and jath as a loving father and faithful husband he instilled

in his children the same virtues he carried in his heart despite the darkness around it Noah's house was a sanctuary of piety even when God shared his painful decision to wash away the wickedness plaguing the Earth through a flood that would drown all living things Noah's Faith did not waver he understood the gravity of the task ahead and accepted it with a heavy but Resolute heart Genesis 6:13 then God said to Noah I will put an end to all human beings because their land is full of violence because of them I will certainly destroy them

and the Earth God considered Noah worthy to be the guardian of a new beginning for Humanity Noah did what God told him to do even though the people around him mocked him or didn't believe something bad was about to happen he SP spent years building the ark warning people about the impending flood and waiting for the moment when God would seal him and his family inside this gigantic wooden Refuge as the heavens finally opened and the Earth was swallowed by water Noah's virtues became the Cornerstone for a new world his faithfulness and obedience preserved life

and from his lineage the nation of a purified Earth would emerge thus in a world descending into chaos no light Shone most brightly testimony to the enduring power of virtue and faith in the face of overwhelming Darkness God's covenant with Noah Genesis 6:1 17-22 the ark was the sanctuary of Noah's family a vessel to transport them above the waters that would soon envelop the Earth God told Noah to build an ark of gopher wood make rooms in the ark and coat it inside and out with bitumen Genesis 6: vers 14 God provided Noah with very

specific dimensions designs and plans for the ark it was not an ordinary boat but a special ship designed to save the last living beings when the world was flooded Genesis 6 verse 14 to 16 the ark was to be 300 cubits long 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits High equipped with a door and a window and divided into several levels converting the Dimensions to Modern measurements this would be equivalent to 450 ft long 75 ft wide and 45 ft high with one door and one window divided into different floors God said this is how you

should do it Genesis 6:15 and so Noah began the Monumental task of building the ark it wasn't easy many ridiculed him and questioned his sanity but Noah had faith and as the years passed and the wood took shape a magnificent Ark stood tall an undeniable testimony to Noah's obedience and faithfulness God also provided Noah with instructions about who and what to bring to the ark his wife his children Sam ham and jaffi and their respective wives furthermore God told Noah to bring two of all living creatures male and female to the ark to keep them

alive Noah was to take seven of every clean animal male and female and two of every unclean animal male and female and seven of every bird of the air male and female to preserve their species on the face of the Earth Genesis 7: 2 it's three Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded we have reached the end of the video leave a like if you like the video and activate the Bell help spread God's word to the World by sharing this video with someone who will also benefit from this video God bless you
