00:17 Hello and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and we are 00:21 going to be reading today from the book of Genesis. 00:23 But before we read let's pray together. 00:25 Dear Jesus, thank you so much for Your words. 00:28 You know, we say the phrase "Your Word is life" and 00:31 don't take the time to stop and really think 00:34 what that means to each one of us. 00:35 I know I would just be stumbling along, 00:37 lost, without the words of guidance and wisdom that 00:41 You have given to me in the Bible. All of us would. 00:44 Thank you for these words. 00:45 Be with us now as we read, 00:47 and help us to learn the lessons You want each of us to hear. 00:50 We love You so much, and thank you for loving us. Amen. 00:54 We are reading today from Genesis. 00:56 When we were last together we had started the story of 00:59 Cain and Abel. 01:00 How they had each brought a sacrifice to God 01:03 and how Abel's sacrifice was pleasing to God 01:06 but Cain's was not... and this made Cain angry. 01:10 We are picking up the story now in chapter 4 with verse 6. 01:14 And the Lord said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth? 01:19 and why is thy countenance fallen? 01:21 If thou doest well shalt thou not be accepted? 01:24 and if thou does not well, sin lieth at the door. 01:28 And unto thee shall be his desire, 01:30 and thou shalt rule over him. " 01:32 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: 01:35 and it came to pass, when they were in the field, 01:37 that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 01:42 And the Lord said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother? " 01:46 And he said, "I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? " 01:51 And God said, "What hast thou done? 01:55 the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 01:59 And now art thou cursed from the earth, 02:02 which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood 02:05 from thy hand: When thou tillest the ground, 02:08 it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; 02:12 a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. " 02:16 And Cain said unto the Lord, 02:18 "My punishment is greater than I can bear. 02:21 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the 02:24 earth; and from Thy face shall I be hid; 02:26 and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; 02:29 and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me 02:32 shall slay me. " 02:33 And the Lord said unto him, "Therefore whosoever slayeth 02:37 Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. " 02:40 And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, 02:43 lest any finding him should kill him. 02:45 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, 02:48 and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 02:52 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, 02:55 and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, 02:58 and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, 03:01 Enoch. 03:03 And he builded a city, and called the name of the city, 03:07 after the name of his son, Enoch. 03:10 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: 03:15 and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 03:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: 03:22 the name of the one was Adah, 03:24 and the name of the other Zillah. 03:26 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as 03:30 dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 03:33 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father 03:37 of all such as handle the harp and the organ. 03:40 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, 03:43 an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: 03:47 and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. 03:50 And Lamech said unto his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; 03:55 ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: 03:59 for I have slain a man to my wounding, 04:02 and a young man to my hurt, 04:05 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, 04:08 truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. " 04:12 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, 04:16 and called his name Seth: 04:18 "For God, " said she, "hath appointed me another seed 04:22 instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. " 04:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; 04:29 and he called his name Enos: 04:31 then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. 04:36 We are reading in Genesis chapter 5, 04:38 and this is the King James version. 04:40 This is the book of the generations of Adam. 04:44 In the day that God created man, 04:46 in the likeness of God made He him; 04:49 Male and female created He them; and blessed them, 04:52 and call their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 04:57 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son 05:01 in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 05:05 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth 05:08 were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 05:12 And all the days that Adam lived 05:15 were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 05:18 And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 05:22 and Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven 05:26 years, and begat sons and daughters. 05:29 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: 05:33 and he died. 05:35 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 05:38 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan, eight hundred and 05:43 fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 05:46 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: 05:50 and he died. 05:52 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: 05:55 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and 05:59 forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 06:01 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: 06:05 and he died. 06:07 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 06:11 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and 06:15 thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 06:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety 06:20 and five years: and he died. 06:23 And Jared lived a hundred sixty and two years, and 06:26 he begat Enoch: And Jared lived after he begat 06:29 Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 06:33 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years 06:37 and he died. 06:39 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 06:43 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah 06:47 three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 06:51 And all the days of Enoch were 06:54 three hundred sixty and five years: 06:57 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 07:02 And Methuselah lived a hundred eighty and seven years, 07:06 and begat Lamech: 07:07 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred 07:11 eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 07:15 And all the days of Methuselah 07:17 were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 07:22 And Lamech lived a hundred eighty and two years, 07:24 and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, 07:28 saying, "This same shall comfort us concerning our work 07:32 and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord 07:35 hath cursed. " And Lamech lived after he begat Noah 07:39 five hundred ninety and five years, 07:41 and begat sons and daughters. 07:44 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy 07:47 and seven years: and he died. 07:50 And Noah was five hundred years old: 07:52 and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 07:56 We are reading in Genesis in chapter 6 07:59 beginning with verse 1 in the King James version. 08:01 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face 08:06 of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 08:08 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men 08:12 that they were fair; and they took them wives 08:15 of all which they chose. 08:16 And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not always strive with 08:21 man, for that he also is flesh: 08:24 yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. " 08:27 There were giants in the earth in those days; 08:30 and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the 08:34 daughters of men, and they bare children to them, 08:36 the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 08:41 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 08:46 and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 08:50 was only evil continually. 08:53 And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, 08:56 and it grieved Him at His heart. 08:58 And the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have 09:02 created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, 09:05 and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; 09:08 for it repenteth me that I have made them. " 09:11 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 09:16 These are the generations of Noah: 09:18 Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, 09:22 and Noah walked with God. 09:25 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 09:29 The earth also was corrupt before God, 09:32 and the earth was filled with violence. 09:33 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; 09:37 for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 09:40 And God said unto Noah, "The end of all flesh is come 09:43 before me; for the earth is filled with violence 09:46 through them: and, behold, I will destroy them 09:50 with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; 09:54 rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shall pitch it within 09:59 and without with pitch. 10:01 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: 10:04 The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, 10:07 the breadth of it fifty cubits, 10:09 and the height of it thirty cubits. 10:11 A window shalt thou make to the ark, 10:14 and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; 10:18 and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; 10:22 with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 10:27 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters 10:33 upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, 10:35 wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; 10:39 and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 10:42 But with thee will I establish My covenant; 10:46 and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, 10:49 and thy wife; and thy son's wives with thee. 10:52 And of every living thing of all flesh, 10:55 two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, 10:58 to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 11:03 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, 11:07 of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, 11:10 two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 11:15 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, 11:19 and thou shalt gather it to thee; 11:20 and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. " 11:24 Thus did Noah, according to all that God commanded him, 11:29 so did he. 11:30 Oh, that we would all be like Noah 11:32 and do according to all that God has commanded us! 11:35 We are continuing now with 11:36 Noah's story in chapter 7. 11:38 And the Lord said unto Noah, 11:41 "Come thou and all thy house into the ark; 11:44 for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 11:49 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, 11:53 the male and his female: 11:55 and of beasts that are not clean by two, 11:58 the male and his female. 12:00 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, 12:03 the male and the female; 12:05 to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 12:07 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 12:12 forty days and forty nights; 12:14 and every living substance that I have made will I destroy 12:19 from off the face of the earth. " 12:21 And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. 12:27 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters 12:30 was upon the earth. And Noah went in, and his sons, 12:33 and his wife, and his son's wives with him, into the ark, 12:36 because of the waters of the flood. 12:38 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, 12:41 and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 12:44 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, 12:48 the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 12:52 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of 12:56 the flood were upon the earth. 12:58 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, 13:01 in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, 13:05 the same day were all the fountains of the great deep 13:09 broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 13:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13:16 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and 13:21 Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, 13:24 and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 13:28 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after 13:32 their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the 13:35 earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, 13:39 every bird of every sort. 13:41 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, 13:44 two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 13:48 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, 13:54 as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in. 13:57 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; 13:59 and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, 14:02 and it was lifted up above the earth. 14:04 And the water prevailed, and were increased greatly 14:08 upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 14:11 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; 14:14 and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, 14:18 were covered. Fifteen cubits upwards did the waters prevail; 14:22 and the mountains were covered. 14:23 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, 14:27 both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, 14:29 and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, 14:32 and every man: |
