First of
all, who wrote the record of Genesis?
Moses did – Jesus Christ tells us so! (John 7:22)
Moses
was highly educated: “learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was
mighty in words and deeds” (Acts 7:22) and he assembled 11 family history
records (Heb: toledoths).
So…who was
there in Noah’s ark to pass on an eye-witness account to his descendants?
SHEM. He was 98 at the time,
lived for another 502 years to outlive 7 direct descendants, and died when
Jacob (Israel) was 50 !
Furthermore,
Shem saw 15 generations altogether, having also known those who had known Adam!
Shem
is the direct link, along with his great-grandfather Methuselah, between
Creation, the great Flood and the birth of the nation of Israel - that is back
in business today!
Noah’s
family toledoth tells us exactly what
happened and when...
- The Great Flood commenced on 17th of 2nd month, (1656 years after Creation) when Noah was 600 years old
- 150 days later the water started to decrease after God made a wind to pass over the waters
- The Ark ‘ran aground’ – 17th of 7th month
- Mountain tops were visible – 1st of 10th month
- After 40 days a raven was released
- A dove was also released, then again after 1 week, then again after another week (the same 7 day weekly cycle we have used ever since Creation!)
- New Years Day – dry ground!
- On 27th of 2nd month God gave the order: “Go out”
This is
eye-witness from those who were there in the ark during the Great Flood….that
is denied by people who weren’t there.
By the
way…
We
are later told some ugly family truths about Noah’s family, which only add to
the credibility of his toledoth.
Would you tell your
family story, ‘warts and all’?
