A Call To Worship, Obedience, And Praise

Oh come, let Us sing to The Lord, let Us shout joyfully
To The Rock of Our Salvation, come into His Presence
Let Us shout joyfully, with Psalms, to Our God Almighty
For The Lord is The Great God, yes, come into His Presence
Let’s Worship and bow down, let’s kneel before Our Creator
For He is Our God, We are The People of His Pasture
We are The Sheep of His Hand, The Lord, Our God, Our Maker
Let’s Worship and bow down, let’s kneel before Our Creator
Sing to The Lord a Fresh Song, sing to The Lord, Praise His Name
Proclaim The Good News of His Salvation, from day to day
Declare His Glory, among the Nations, yes, shout His Name
For The Lord is Great and greatly to be Praised, every day
Give to The Lord, O families of the Peoples, His Due
Give to The Lord, Glory and Strength, The Glory due His Name
Bring an offering, and come into His Courts, each of YOU
Worship The Lord in His Holiness, without any shame
The Heavens declare His Righteousness, All See His Glory
For YOU, Lord, are Most High, above all the Earth, We Proclaim
YOU, who Love The Lord, hate evil, for YOU have Eyes to see
He Preserves The Souls of His Saints, who rejoice in His Name
He Delivers them, out of the hand of the wicked one
Light is Sown for The Righteous, rejoice in His Righteousness
Give thanks at The Remembrance of His Holy Name, Brethren
All See His Glory, The Heavens declare His Righteousness
Sing to The Lord a fresh Song, for He’s done Marvelous Things
His Right Hand and His Holy Arm have Gained Him, The Victory
The Lord has made known His Salvation, Our True Hope He Brings
His Righteousness He’s Revealed, the Nations will surely see
He’s Remembered, His Mercy and His Faithfulness to Us
The World has seen The Salvation of Our God Almighty
Shout joyfully to The Lord, All the Earth, with thankfulness
Break out in song, and sing praises to The Lord, rejoice fully
The Sound of a Psalm, with harps, trumpets, and horns, Proclaim it
Shout joyfully before The Lord, The King, God Almighty
Let the Sea roar, let the World and All those who dwell in it
Let All of Creation, Proclaim, The LORD God Almighty
For He is Coming to Judge the Earth, with All Righteousness
Yes, He shall Judge the World, And All People, with Equity
The Foundation of His Throne, are Justice and Righteousness
Shout joyfully before The Lord, The King, God Almighty

The Story Of Noah



The Wickedness and Judgment Of Man


Now it came to pass, when Men began to multiply on the face of the Earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God, saw the daughters of Men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.  And The Lord (God Almighty) said, “My Spirit shall NOT strive with Man, Forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be One Hundred and Twenty (120) Years.”  There were Giants on the Earth, in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of Men and they bore children to them.  Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.  Then The Lord (God Almighty) saw that The Wickedness of Man was great in the Earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY evil, continually.  And The Lord (God Almighty) was sorry that He had made Man on the Earth, and He was grieved in His Heart.  So The Lord (God Almighty) said, “I will destroy Man whom I have Created from the face of the Earth, both Man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”  But Noah found Grace, in The Eyes of The Lord (God Almighty).

 

Noah Pleases God

 

This is The Genealogy of Noah.  Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations.  Noah walked with God (God Almighty).  And Noah begot Three Sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  The Earth also was corrupt before God, and the Earth was filled with violence.  So God looked upon the Earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the Earth.

 

The Ark Prepared


And God (God Almighty) said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the Earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the Earth.  Make yourself an Ark of gopherwood; make rooms in The Ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.  And this is how YOU shall make it: The Length of The Ark shall be Three Hundred (300) Cubits, its Width Fifty (50) Cubits, and its Height Thirty (30) Cubits.  YOU shall make a Window for The Ark, and YOU shall finish it to a Cubit from above; and set The Door of The Ark in its side.  YOU shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.  And behold, I, Myself, Am bringing floodwaters on the Earth, to destroy from under Heaven, all flesh in which is The Breath of Life; everything that is on the Earth shall die.  But I will establish My Covenant with YOU; and YOU shall go into The Ark, YOU, Your Sons, Your Wife, and Your Sons’ Wives with YOU.  And of every living thing of all flesh, YOU shall bring Two of every sort into The Ark, to keep them Alive with YOU; they shall be male and female.  Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the Earth after its kind, Two of every kind, will come to YOU, to keep them Alive.  And YOU shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and YOU shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for YOU and for them.”  Thus Noah did; according to all that God Commanded him, so he did.

The Great Flood


Then The Lord (God Almighty) said to Noah, “Come into The Ark, YOU and all your household, because I have seen that YOU are Righteous before Me in this generation.  YOU shall take with YOU Seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; Two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also Seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species Alive on the face of all the Earth.  For after Seven more Days, I will cause it to Rain on the Earth [Note: for the very first time] Forty Days and Forty Nights, and I will destroy from the face of the Earth all living things that I have made.”  And Noah did according to all that The Lord (God Almighty) Commanded him.  Noah was Six Hundred (600) Years old, when the floodwaters were on the Earth.

So Noah, with His Sons, His Wife, and His Sons’ Wives, went into The Ark because of The Waters of The Flood.  Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, Two by Two, they went into The Ark to Noah, male and female, as God had Commanded Noah.  And it came to pass after Seven Days that The Waters of The Flood were on the Earth.  In the Six Hundredth Year of Noah’s Life, in The Second Month, The Seventeenth Day of The Month, on that Day, All The Fountains of The Great Deep were broken up, and The Windows of Heaven were opened.  And the Rain was on the Earth, Forty Days and Forty Nights. 

On The Very Same Day, Noah and Noah’s Sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s Wife and The Three Wives of His Sons with Them, entered The Ark, They and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the Earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.  And they went into The Ark to Noah, Two by Two, of all flesh in which is The Breath of Life.  So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God (God Almighty) had Commanded him; and The Lord (God Almighty) shut him in.  [That’s right, God Almighty Closed The Door to The Ark, with His Own Hand.]

Now, The Flood was on the Earth, Forty Days.  The waters increased and lifted up The Ark, and it rose high above the Earth.  The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the Earth, and The Ark moved about on the surface of the waters.  And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the Earth, and all the high hills under The Whole Heaven were covered.  The waters prevailed Fifteen (15) Cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.  And all flesh died that moved on the Earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the Earth, and every Man.  All in Whose Nostrils was The Breath of The Spirit of Life, all that was on the dry land, died.  So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both Man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air.  They were destroyed from the Earth.  Only Noah and those who were with him, in The Ark, remained Alive.  And the waters prevailed on the Earth One Hundred and Fifty (150) Days.

 

Noah’s Deliverance


Then God (God Almighty) remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in The Ark.  And God (God Almighty) made a Wind, to pass over the Earth, and the waters subsided.  The Fountains of The Deep and The Windows of Heaven, were also stopped, and The Rain from Heaven was restrained.  And the waters receded continually from the Earth.  At the end of The Hundred and Fifty Days (150) the waters decreased.  Then The Ark rested in The Seventh Month, The Seventeenth Day of the Month, on The Mountains of Ararat.  And the waters decreased continually until The Tenth Month.  In The Tenth Month, on The First Day of The Month, The Tops of The Mountains were seen.

So it came to pass, at The End of Forty Days, that Noah opened The Window of The Ark which he had made.  Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the Earth.  He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.  But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into The Ark to him, for the waters were on the face of The Whole Earth.  So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into The Ark to himself.  And he waited yet another Seven Days, and again he sent the dove out from The Ark.  Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the Earth.  So he waited yet another Seven Days and sent out the dove, which did NOT return again to him anymore.

And it came to pass in the Six Hundred and First (601) Year, in The First Month, The First Day of The Month, that the waters were dried up from the Earth; and Noah removed The Covering of The Ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.  And in The Second Month, on The Twenty-Seventh Day of The Month, the Earth was dried.  Then God spoke to Noah, saying, “Go out of The Ark, YOU and Your Wife, and Your Sons and Your Sons’ Wives with YOU.  Bring out with YOU, every living thing of all flesh that is with YOU: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the Earth, so that they may abound on the Earth, and be Fruitful and Multiply on the Earth.”  So Noah went out, and His Sons and His Wife and His Sons’ Wives with him.  Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the Earth, according to their families, went out of The Ark.

 

God’s Covenant With Creation


Then Noah built An Altar to The Lord (God Almighty), and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered Burnt Offerings on The Altar.  And The Lord (God Almighty) Smelled a soothing Aroma.  Then The Lord (God Almighty) said in His Heart, “I will never again curse the ground for Man’s Sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is EVIL from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.”  “While the Earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, Winter and Summer, and Day and Night, shall NOT cease.”

God’s Promise To Noah


So God (God Almighty) Blessed Noah and His Sons, and said to Them: “Be Fruitful and Multiply, and fill the Earth.  And the fear of YOU and the dread of YOU, shall be on every beast of the Earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the Earth, and on all the fish of the Sea.  They are given into your hand.  Every moving thing that lives shall be food for YOU.  [Note: Man is permitted to eat flesh, i.e. meat from animals, for the first time.]  I have given YOU all things, even as the green herbs.  But YOU shall NOT eat flesh with its Life, that is (creatures that are Alive), its blood.  Surely for your lifeblood, I will demand a Reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will Require it, and from the hand of Man.  From the hand of every Man’s Brother, I will require, The Life of Man.  “Whoever sheds Man’s Blood, by Man his blood shall be shed; for in The Image of God, He made Man.  And as for YOU, be Fruitful and Multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the Earth and multiply in it.”

Then God (Almighty) spoke to Noah and to His Sons with him, saying: “And as for Me, behold, I establish My Covenant with YOU and with Your Descendants after YOU, and with every living creature that is with YOU: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the Earth with YOU, of all that go out of The Ark, every beast of the Earth.  Thus I establish My Covenant with YOU: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by The Waters of The Flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the Earth.”

And God (God Almighty) said: “This is The Sign of The Covenant, which I make between Me and YOU, and every living creature that is with YOU, for perpetual generations: I set My Rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for The Sign of The Covenant, between Me and the Earth.  It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that The Rainbow, shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My Covenant, which is between Me and YOU and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.  The Rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember The Everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the Earth.”  And God said to Noah, “This is The Sign of The Covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the Earth.”

 

Noah and His Sons


Now The Sons of Noah, who went out of The Ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  And Ham was the father of Canaan.  These Three were The Sons of Noah, and from these The Whole Earth was populated.  And Noah began to be a Farmer, and he planted a Vineyard.  Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.  And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.  But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father.  Their faces were turned away, and they did NOT see their father’s nakedness.  So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.  Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he shall be to his Brethren.”  And he said: “Blessed be The Lord, The God of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.  May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem; and may Canaan be his servant.”  And Noah lived, after The Flood, Three Hundred and Fifty (350) Years.  So, all The Days of Noah were Nine Hundred and Fifty (950) Years; and he died.

[Note: Noah died 2,006 years after The Creation of Adam, by God Almighty, through The Word, Jesus Christ.]
