Jeremy Christian (author) from Texas on May 20, 2020: Who Was The First Human Person To Create A kingdom On 2nd Earth?
TWO STEPS FROM HELL AM I NOT HUMAN LIVE FREE
In fact, that valley, which is a geological equivalent of a storm drain, would be the perfect location to place an element as potentially dangerous as free will. A localized flood would hardly accomplish that in this already populated world scenario.īut, if Adam was the introduction of free will, and wickedness was only possible through free will, then a local flood of the Mesopotamian valley would be all it would take. Of course, simply proving the flood wasn't actually global doesn't do much considering the whole purpose of the flood was to wipe out the "wicked" element that had risen in humanity. So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height.Īnd there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.” (Numbers 13:32-33) This comes right in the middle of its explanation for why the flood was necessary. It also puts a whole new spin on the first few verses of chapter 6, those which talk about the "sons of God" finding the "daughters of humans" beautiful and having children by them.
” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”īut the Lord said to him, “Not so anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over. The concern God is validated by somehow "marking" him to protect him from harm.Ĭain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. Like the unnamed "others" that Cain expressed concern about in chapter 4. Within the Bible, some of the more cryptic and confusing verses in the chapters to follow begin to make much more sense if the region was already populated when Adam was created.
