Hello and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.41\00:00:19.39
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and we are
00:00:19.59\00:00:21.07
going to be reading
today from the book of Genesis.
00:00:21.17\00:00:22.97
But before we read
let's pray together.
00:00:23.17\00:00:25.32
Dear Jesus, thank you
so much for Your words.
00:00:25.52\00:00:28.83
You know, we say the
phrase "Your Word is life" and
00:00:28.93\00:00:31.28
don't take the time
to stop and really think
00:00:31.38\00:00:34.03
what that means
to each one of us.
00:00:34.13\00:00:35.41
I know I would
just be stumbling along,
00:00:35.51\00:00:37.78
lost, without the words
of guidance and wisdom that
00:00:37.88\00:00:41.50
You have given to me in
the Bible. All of us would.
00:00:41.61\00:00:44.07
Thank you for these words.
00:00:44.27\00:00:45.56
Be with us now as we read,
00:00:45.76\00:00:47.62
and help us to learn the lessons
You want each of us to hear.
00:00:47.82\00:00:50.57
We love You so much, and
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:50.77\00:00:54.34
We are reading
today from Genesis.
00:00:54.64\00:00:56.43
When we were last together
we had started the story of
00:00:56.63\00:00:59.37
Cain and Abel.
00:00:59.48\00:01:00.59
How they had each
brought a sacrifice to God
00:01:00.79\00:01:03.14
and how Abel's
sacrifice was pleasing to God
00:01:03.34\00:01:06.29
but Cain's was not...
and this made Cain angry.
00:01:06.49\00:01:10.15
We are picking up the story
now in chapter 4 with verse 6.
00:01:10.36\00:01:14.38
And the Lord said unto
Cain, "Why art thou wroth?
00:01:14.58\00:01:19.23
and why is thy
countenance fallen?
00:01:19.44\00:01:21.28
If thou doest well
shalt thou not be accepted?
00:01:21.48\00:01:24.77
and if thou does not
well, sin lieth at the door.
00:01:24.97\00:01:28.08
And unto thee
shall be his desire,
00:01:28.28\00:01:30.77
and thou shalt rule over him. "
00:01:30.97\00:01:32.37
And Cain talked
with Abel his brother:
00:01:32.57\00:01:35.33
and it came to pass,
when they were in the field,
00:01:35.53\00:01:37.73
that Cain rose up against
Abel his brother, and slew him.
00:01:37.93\00:01:42.25
And the Lord said unto Cain,
"Where is Abel thy brother? "
00:01:42.45\00:01:46.51
And he said, "I know not:
Am I my brother's keeper? "
00:01:46.71\00:01:51.28
And God said,
"What hast thou done?
00:01:51.48\00:01:54.95
the voice of thy brother's blood
crieth unto me from the ground.
00:01:55.15\00:01:59.00
And now art thou
cursed from the earth,
00:01:59.20\00:02:02.22
which hath opened her mouth
to receive thy brother's blood
00:02:02.42\00:02:05.71
from thy hand: When
thou tillest the ground,
00:02:05.81\00:02:08.77
it shall not henceforth
yield unto thee her strength;
00:02:08.97\00:02:12.50
a fugitive and a vagabond
shalt thou be in the earth. "
00:02:12.70\00:02:16.69
And Cain said unto the Lord,
00:02:16.89\00:02:18.66
"My punishment is
greater than I can bear.
00:02:18.86\00:02:21.13
Behold, thou hast driven me out
this day from the face of the
00:02:21.33\00:02:24.48
earth; and from Thy
face shall I be hid;
00:02:24.58\00:02:26.48
and I shall be a fugitive
and a vagabond in the earth;
00:02:26.68\00:02:28.98
and it shall come to pass,
that every one that findeth me
00:02:29.18\00:02:31.98
shall slay me. "
00:02:32.08\00:02:33.65
And the Lord said unto him,
"Therefore whosoever slayeth
00:02:33.85\00:02:37.00
Cain, vengeance shall be
taken on him sevenfold. "
00:02:37.10\00:02:40.64
And the Lord set
a mark upon Cain,
00:02:40.84\00:02:43.01
lest any finding
him should kill him.
00:02:43.21\00:02:45.60
And Cain went out from
the presence of the Lord,
00:02:45.80\00:02:48.60
and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of Eden.
00:02:48.80\00:02:51.88
And Cain knew his
wife; and she conceived,
00:02:52.08\00:02:55.24
and bare Enoch:
and he builded a city,
00:02:55.44\00:02:58.38
and called the name of the
city, after the name of his son,
00:02:58.48\00:03:01.53
Enoch.
00:03:01.63\00:03:03.18
And he builded a city, and
called the name of the city,
00:03:03.21\00:03:07.32
after the name
of his son, Enoch.
00:03:07.42\00:03:09.91
And unto Enoch was born
Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:
00:03:10.11\00:03:15.00
and Mehujael begat Methusael:
and Methusael begat Lamech.
00:03:15.20\00:03:18.83
And Lamech took
unto him two wives:
00:03:19.03\00:03:21.87
the name of the one was Adah,
00:03:22.07\00:03:24.04
and the name of
the other Zillah.
00:03:24.24\00:03:26.12
And Adah bare Jabal: he
was the father of such as
00:03:26.32\00:03:30.82
dwell in tents, and
of such as have cattle.
00:03:30.92\00:03:33.41
And his brother's name
was Jubal: he was the father
00:03:33.61\00:03:37.39
of all such as handle
the harp and the organ.
00:03:37.49\00:03:40.18
And Zillah, she
also bare Tubalcain,
00:03:40.38\00:03:43.44
an instructor of every
artificer in brass and iron:
00:03:43.64\00:03:47.04
and the sister of
Tubalcain was Naamah.
00:03:47.24\00:03:50.25
And Lamech said unto his wives,
"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
00:03:50.45\00:03:55.41
ye wives of Lamech,
hearken unto my speech:
00:03:55.62\00:03:59.12
for I have slain a
man to my wounding,
00:03:59.32\00:04:02.64
and a young man to my hurt,
00:04:02.84\00:04:05.06
If Cain shall be
avenged sevenfold,
00:04:05.26\00:04:08.53
truly Lamech
seventy and sevenfold. "
00:04:08.73\00:04:12.43
And Adam knew his wife
again; and she bare a son,
00:04:12.67\00:04:16.43
and called his name Seth:
00:04:16.54\00:04:18.12
"For God, " said she,
"hath appointed me another seed
00:04:18.32\00:04:22.61
instead of Abel,
whom Cain slew. "
00:04:22.71\00:04:25.85
And to Seth, to him
also there was born a son;
00:04:26.05\00:04:29.58
and he called his name Enos:
00:04:29.69\00:04:31.39
then began men to call
upon the name of the Lord.
00:04:31.59\00:04:35.85
We are reading in
Genesis chapter 5,
00:04:36.05\00:04:38.60
and this is the
King James version.
00:04:38.70\00:04:40.69
This is the book of
the generations of Adam.
00:04:40.82\00:04:44.63
In the day that God created man,
00:04:44.73\00:04:46.78
in the likeness
of God made He him;
00:04:46.89\00:04:49.43
Male and female created
He them; and blessed them,
00:04:49.63\00:04:52.65
and call their name Adam, in
the day when they were created.
00:04:52.75\00:04:56.82
And Adam lived a hundred and
thirty years, and begat a son
00:04:57.02\00:05:01.64
in his own likeness, after his
image; and called his name Seth:
00:05:01.74\00:05:04.83
And the days of Adam
after he had begotten Seth
00:05:05.03\00:05:08.22

00:05:08.32\00:05:12.38
And all the days that Adam lived

00:05:15.01\00:05:18.55
And Seth lived a hundred
and five years, and begat Enos:
00:05:18.75\00:05:22.41
and Seth lived after he begat
Enos eight hundred and seven
00:05:22.51\00:05:26.54
years, and begat

00:05:26.64\00:05:29.14
And all the days of Seth were
nine hundred and twelve years:

and he died.

And Enos lived ninety
years, and begat Cainan:

And Enos lived after he

begat sons and daughters.
00:05:43.09\00:05:46.39
And all the days of Enos were
nine hundred and five years:
00:05:46.59\00:05:50.75
and he died.
00:05:50.85\00:05:52.29
And Cainan lived seventy
years, and begat Mahalaleel:
00:05:52.49\00:05:55.55
And Cainan lived after he begat
Mahalaleel eight hundred and
00:05:55.75\00:05:58.97
forty years, and

00:05:59.07\00:06:01.89
And all the days of Cainan
were nine hundred and ten years:

And Mahalaleel lived sixty
and five years, and begat Jared:

thirty years, and

00:06:15.28\00:06:17.73
And all the days of Mahalaleel
were eight hundred ninety

And all the days of Jared were

And Enoch lived sixty and five

And all the days of Enoch were

three hundred
sixty and five years:
00:06:54.24\00:06:56.95
And Enoch walked with God: and
he was not; for God took him.
00:06:57.15\00:07:02.19
And Methuselah lived a
hundred eighty and seven years,
00:07:02.39\00:07:05.98

And Lamech lived a

00:07:22.07\00:07:24.89
and begat a son: And
he called his name Noah,
00:07:24.99\00:07:28.31
saying, "This same shall
comfort us concerning our work
00:07:28.41\00:07:32.64
and toil of our hands, because
of the ground which the Lord
00:07:32.75\00:07:35.71
hath cursed. " And
Lamech lived after he begat Noah
00:07:35.81\00:07:39.71
five hundred
ninety and five years,
00:07:39.81\00:07:41.87
and begat sons and daughters.
00:07:41.98\00:07:43.94
And all the days of Lamech
were seven hundred seventy
00:07:44.14\00:07:47.69
and seven years: and he died.
00:07:47.80\00:07:50.23
And Noah was five
hundred years old:
00:07:50.43\00:07:52.79
and Noah begat
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
00:07:52.89\00:07:56.26
We are reading in
Genesis in chapter 6
00:07:56.46\00:07:59.11
beginning with verse 1
in the King James version.
00:07:59.21\00:08:01.72
And it came to pass, when men
began to multiply on the face
00:08:01.92\00:08:05.99
of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them,
00:08:06.09\00:08:08.37
That the sons of God
saw the daughters of men
00:08:08.58\00:08:12.16
that they were fair;
and they took them wives
00:08:12.26\00:08:14.98
of all which they chose.
00:08:15.08\00:08:16.57
And the Lord said, "My spirit
shall not always strive with
00:08:16.77\00:08:21.02
man, for that he also is flesh:
00:08:21.12\00:08:23.80
yet his days shall be a
hundred and twenty years. "
00:08:24.00\00:08:27.49
There were giants in
the earth in those days;
00:08:27.69\00:08:30.11
and also after that, when
the sons of God came in unto the
00:08:30.31\00:08:33.93
daughters of men, and
they bare children to them,
00:08:34.03\00:08:36.40
the same became mighty men which
were of old, men of renown.
00:08:36.60\00:08:41.18
And God saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth,
00:08:41.38\00:08:46.27
and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart
00:08:46.47\00:08:50.09
was only evil continually.
00:08:50.20\00:08:53.01
And it repented the Lord that
He had made man on the earth,
00:08:53.21\00:08:56.26
and it grieved Him at His heart.
00:08:56.36\00:08:58.57
And the Lord said, "I
will destroy man whom I have
00:08:58.77\00:09:02.51
created from the face of
the earth; both man, and beast,
00:09:02.61\00:09:05.84
and the creeping thing,
and the fowls of the air;
00:09:05.94\00:09:08.30
for it repenteth me
that I have made them. "
00:09:08.50\00:09:10.91
But Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord.
00:09:11.11\00:09:15.82
These are the
generations of Noah:
00:09:16.02\00:09:18.52
Noah was a just man and
perfect in his generations,
00:09:18.72\00:09:22.50
and Noah walked with God.
00:09:22.70\00:09:25.20
And Noah begat three
sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
00:09:25.41\00:09:29.08
The earth also was
corrupt before God,
00:09:29.28\00:09:31.92
and the earth was
filled with violence.
00:09:32.02\00:09:33.73
And God looked upon the earth,
and, behold, it was corrupt;
00:09:33.93\00:09:36.92
for all flesh had corrupted
his way upon the earth.
00:09:37.12\00:09:40.29
And God said unto Noah,
"The end of all flesh is come
00:09:40.49\00:09:43.57
before me; for the
earth is filled with violence
00:09:43.67\00:09:46.30
through them: and,
behold, I will destroy them
00:09:46.41\00:09:50.27
with the earth. Make
thee an ark of gopher wood;
00:09:50.37\00:09:54.75
rooms shalt thou make in the
ark, and shall pitch it within
00:09:54.95\00:09:59.10
and without with pitch.
00:09:59.20\00:10:01.02
And this is the fashion
which thou shalt make it of:
00:10:01.22\00:10:04.07
The length of the ark
shall be three hundred cubits,
00:10:04.27\00:10:07.16
the breadth of it fifty cubits,
00:10:07.19\00:10:09.58
and the height
of it thirty cubits.
00:10:09.78\00:10:11.73
A window shalt
thou make to the ark,
00:10:11.93\00:10:14.66
and in a cubit shalt
thou finish it above;
00:10:14.87\00:10:18.02
and the door of the ark shalt
thou set in the side thereof;
00:10:18.22\00:10:22.07
with lower, second, and third
stories shalt thou make it.
00:10:22.27\00:10:27.40
And, behold, I, even I,
do bring a flood of waters
00:10:27.60\00:10:33.31
upon the earth,
to destroy all flesh,
00:10:33.42\00:10:35.73
wherein is the breath
of life, from under heaven;
00:10:35.93\00:10:39.06
and every thing that
is in the earth shall die.
00:10:39.26\00:10:42.59
But with thee will I
establish My covenant;
00:10:42.80\00:10:45.87
and thou shalt come into
the ark, thou, and thy sons,
00:10:46.07\00:10:49.41
and thy wife; and thy
son's wives with thee.
00:10:49.51\00:10:51.82
And of every
living thing of all flesh,
00:10:52.03\00:10:54.96
two of every sort shalt
thou bring into the ark,
00:10:55.16\00:10:58.20
to keep them alive with thee;
they shall be male and female.
00:10:58.40\00:11:03.22
Of fowls after their kind,
and of cattle after their kind,
00:11:03.42\00:11:07.27
of every creeping thing
of the earth after his kind,
00:11:07.47\00:11:10.57
two of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive.
00:11:10.77\00:11:15.36
And take thou unto thee
of all food that is eaten,
00:11:15.56\00:11:19.28
and thou shalt
gather it to thee;
00:11:19.48\00:11:20.89
and it shall be for food
for thee, and for them. "
00:11:20.99\00:11:23.98
Thus did Noah, according
to all that God commanded him,
00:11:24.18\00:11:28.99
so did he.
00:11:29.19\00:11:30.74
Oh, that we
would all be like Noah
00:11:30.94\00:11:32.71
and do according to all
that God has commanded us!
00:11:32.81\00:11:35.18
We are continuing now with
00:11:35.38\00:11:36.76
Noah's story in chapter 7.
00:11:36.86\00:11:38.52
And the Lord said unto Noah,
00:11:38.72\00:11:40.95
"Come thou and all
thy house into the ark;
00:11:41.15\00:11:44.67
for thee have I seen righteous
before me in this generation.
00:11:44.87\00:11:48.88
Of every clean beast thou
shalt take to thee by sevens,
00:11:49.08\00:11:53.24
the male and his female:
00:11:53.44\00:11:55.10
and of beasts that
are not clean by two,
00:11:55.30\00:11:58.38
the male and his female.
00:11:58.58\00:12:00.74
Of fowls also of
the air by sevens,
00:12:00.94\00:12:03.61
the male and the female;
00:12:03.81\00:12:04.93
to keep seed alive upon
the face of all the earth.
00:12:05.13\00:12:07.66
For yet seven days, and I will
cause it to rain upon the earth
00:12:07.86\00:12:12.38
forty days and forty nights;
00:12:12.48\00:12:14.36
and every living substance
that I have made will I destroy
00:12:14.56\00:12:19.08
from off the
face of the earth. "
00:12:19.18\00:12:21.40
And Noah did according unto
all that the Lord commanded him.
00:12:21.60\00:12:27.03
And Noah was six hundred years
old when the flood of waters
00:12:27.23\00:12:30.05
was upon the earth. And
Noah went in, and his sons,
00:12:30.16\00:12:33.36
and his wife, and his son's
wives with him, into the ark,
00:12:33.46\00:12:36.25
because of the
waters of the flood.
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.09
Of clean beasts, and of
beasts that are not clean,
00:12:38.29\00:12:41.43
and of fowls, and of every thing
that creepeth upon the earth,
00:12:41.63\00:12:44.43
There went in two and
two unto Noah into the ark,
00:12:44.63\00:12:48.61
the male and the female,
as God had commanded Noah.
00:12:48.81\00:12:52.23
And it came to pass after
seven days, that the waters of
00:12:52.43\00:12:56.35
the flood were upon the earth.
00:12:56.45\00:12:58.49
In the six
hundredth year of Noah's life,
00:12:58.69\00:13:01.37
in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month,
00:13:01.58\00:13:05.00
the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep
00:13:05.03\00:13:09.00
broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened.
00:13:09.10\00:13:11.99
And the rain was upon the earth
forty days and forty nights.
00:13:12.09\00:13:16.30
In the selfsame day entered
Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
00:13:16.50\00:13:21.48
Japheth, the sons of
Noah, and Noah's wife,
00:13:21.58\00:13:24.42
and the three wives of his
sons with them, into the ark;
00:13:24.52\00:13:28.05
They, and every beast after his
kind, and all the cattle after
00:13:28.26\00:13:32.13
their kind, and every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the
00:13:32.23\00:13:35.21
earth after his kind, and
every fowl after his kind,
00:13:35.31\00:13:38.91
every bird of every sort.
00:13:39.01\00:13:41.07
And they went in
unto Noah into the ark,
00:13:41.27\00:13:43.98
two and two of all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life.
00:13:44.18\00:13:48.73
And they that went in, went
in male and female of all flesh,
00:13:48.93\00:13:54.21
as God had commanded
him: and the Lord shut him in.
00:13:54.41\00:13:57.11
And the flood was
forty days upon the earth;
00:13:57.31\00:13:59.70
and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark,
00:13:59.90\00:14:02.27
and it was lifted
up above the earth.
00:14:02.47\00:14:04.74
And the water prevailed,
and were increased greatly
00:14:04.94\00:14:08.08
upon the earth; and the ark went
upon the face of the waters.
00:14:08.18\00:14:11.62
And the waters prevailed
exceedingly upon the earth;
00:14:11.82\00:14:14.74
and all the high hills, that
were under the whole heaven,
00:14:14.94\00:14:18.15
were covered. Fifteen cubits
upwards did the waters prevail;
00:14:18.35\00:14:22.29
and the mountains were covered.
00:14:22.49\00:14:23.69
And all flesh died
that moved upon the earth,
00:14:23.89\00:14:26.91
both of fowl, and of
cattle, and of beast,
00:14:27.11\00:14:29.58
and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth,
00:14:29.78\00:14:32.39
and every man:
00:14:32.60\00:14:34.45
