Matthew 24; Luke 17: ‘Days of Noah’ teach us how to be ‘born again’

A (Egyptian) Coptic icon of Noah's Ark by Tasony Sawsan

“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. … That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.'” (John 3:3, 6 NASB)

The Torah reading Noakh, covering Genesis 6:9–11:32, is a testimony of the origin of Abraham and Israel, of different people groups and of languages. This is real history, not legend or allegory. That is important, because it’s a testimony about the intentions and actions of the Creator.

And the “days of Noah” (Matt. 24:36–44; Luke 17:22–37) teach us how we become “born again” via the Mashiakh (Christ) of God.

Genesis 7: Being ‘left behind’ was a good thing in the days of Noach

A number of Bible teachers as well as some popular movies and books teach that believers in Yeshua the Messiah will be “taken away” in the prophesied time of trouble preceding the Day of the LORD. Yet based on the teaching of the Messiah on the “days of Noah,” believers should pray that they aren’t “taken away.”

Genesis 6: Evil multiplies on Earth as ‘sons of God’ marry ‘daughters of men’

A bride and groom walk hand in hand through the forest, their backs to the viewer, walking on rose petals and surrounded by glowing fireflies and hanging Turkish lamps.

Some may have no idea what this chapter is about, with “sons of God” marrying “daughters of men” and the “Nephilim.” Some may also have some profound, over-the-top notions about the meaning of this chapter, but if you read this chapter in the context of the previous chapters, the fanciful and salacious interpretations fall by the wayside.
