Gen 7 - The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Torah, otherwise how could Noah be righteous?

Join us as we show you that the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil is the Torah. We'll give many reasons that prove it had to of existed way before Mt. Sinai.

The Ark is now constructed, the animals are assembled and Grandpa Methuselah, who probably served Elohim longer than anybody who ever lived, was probably on his death bed right now.

Virtually all biblical scholars, whether they are Christian or Jewish, believe that man didn't really know the difference between a clean and unclean animal at this point. The Jewish people have this mentality that the Torah was given at Mount Sinai, and it's given to them, they say “it's ours, you can't have it”. Christians, well, they just ignore it altogether and they also believe it was given at Mount Sinai. The Torah was not given at Mount Sinai, Torah was just a term for the Covenant. Torah is the tree of knowledge, of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate of and that is what made sin come alive.

He told Noah to take 7 pairs of the clean animals, and a pair of unclean animals, and he said “okay, no problem”. He knows what is going on here. He didn’t reply with “what are clean animals?”. If Torah was given amount Sinai, how did Abraham know? We've talked about this before, but how did Abraham keep His charge, commandments, statutes, and Torah? That's in

Genesis 26:4-5 (This is Elohim talking to Isaac.) “And I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws” (Torah).

Gen 18:19 “For I have chosen him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD

What does righteousness mean? Doing the right thing, what does Torah tell us? Do the right thing. Following Torah is being righteous, righteousness is Torah. How they can separate the two, I have no idea, because the two are one.

A lot of people say the flood was not worldwide, and that it was a local flood. The Expressions implying a universal flood occur over 30 times in Genesis 6 through 9. A local flood could not have picked up that big boat, that was a huge boat. There are more than 270 stories from cultures all over the world, that talk about a big flood event in their history.

Matthew 24:37-39 “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38“For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

2 Peter 3:6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

Clear evidence is in this chapter and you will see that as we study Genesis, so glad to have you join us!

Gen 8
The Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat 150 days in the waters and secured itself on dry land after 150 days. They have to wait for the waters to recede enough for them to disembark, they were on the Ark 371 days altogether.

Notice that Raven just flew away, it didn’t come back, what does a raven eat? It’s a scavenger, why didn’t the Raven return? How much food would be floating in the water, a bunch of it, he’s a happy Raven, okay. Ravens are very nasty, nasty creatures, the dove, on the other hand, it's not that way, it's a clean bird and it kept returning to the Ark with a message. Came back and brought an olive branch. The dove could only find comfort from the Ark until the waters receded enough for him to find a place to live. The dove isn’t going to float around on a bloated elephant and chomp away like that nasty raven.

People say, earthquakes have increased recently, therefore Jesus is returning, okay, this is Jack Van Impe stuff, that's not true. Earthquakes are less frequent now than they have been in the past, which makes sense, everything is settling down since this big flood, okay, things are just going to a state of equilibrium, and it is getting closer to that state of equilibrium with time.

Noah and his family as well, get to radiate out from Mount Ararat to open country. They could move into all kinds of places, into Asia, Western to Europe South, into Africa, penguins could go north to Siberia.

Elohim said He’ll never again declare judgement on all living things on the face of the earth, that's what we see today that’s not going to happen, not everything is going to be destroyed again. The testimony of this flood, the record of it is found everywhere in the crust of the Earth, okay, we have the fossil record as a huge testimony of this and that's something that can't be ignored in my opinion, now they try to explain it away, but they don't do a very good job.
