Right!


A few days behind already! Ah well. Much has developed! But first a correction from last entry.

Okay, it took us 62 verses to screw it up...and I thought the rest was God sorting it out. Turns out, he had it all done in 9 verses. Three verse 15 has the first prediction and glimpse of the salvation plan. Then it's 31,196 verses of God going "okay, this is how it'll happen."

Now, several generations have come and gone, and lo and behold, the Earth sucks and God says 'that's it, I'll kill them all!'....that's the 'New Living Language Version'...publishing pending.
Then along comes Noah. What was he doing that was so special that God liked him, and said 'he'll do'? Two people, in ten generations. Now one out of five is okay I guess, but we're talking Generations here! You know, 'had other sons and daughters'? Speaking of, who the heck did Cain marry? Was there some sort of God-approved....incest? Just to get the human race started? What did we get like, 300 years of mutant-free breeding just as a kick-start? Also of notable interest, something I figured out on one of my many read-throughs of Genesis, none of which went on to become the full Bible-read that I thought. Do the Math, and you'll see that Methuselah, oldest man ever at 969, Noah's Grandfather....died the same year as the flood. Woops.
I'd like to talk to Enoch. He had it right. Says he "walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." What was it like not to die?
So we have Noah....I won't do too much to talk about him, because I think Bill Cosby said it right. "Who's there?" , "It's the Lord, Noah!" , "....Right!"

Nice meld of perspectives Matt from Canada. Now if only you had the audio narration using your voice to go along with this transcript. Podcast anyone?
