Gen 6

Question	Answer	Note---10-02-2016
		6:1-8 is the introduction of the chapter. Details are supplied starting in verse 9.
		6:2 Putting aside the understanding that the Sons of God were righteous people and the daughters on men were evil people. We know based on previous scripture that sons and daughters were born to both groups of people. The attraction however is one sided. There is only one group which is attracted to the other. Note that the daughters of the Sons-Of-God did not find/see the sons of the Sons-Of-Men attractive.
		6:2 As is customary only the side of the men is presented. There is no  mention that the daughters of men found the sons of God attractive. However, they did pro-create.
		6:2 It seems that the sons of God took unto themselves several wives. To the point that the least of them had ‘maybe” three wives.
		6:3 flesh here means carnal.
Who was God addressing when He said man only had 120 years left on the Earth?	It seems as if He was addressing an unfallen being, or addressing the unfallen counsel in heaven. The meeting mentioned in Job of the sons of God.	6:3 Because the flesh war against the spirit, God is saying that man is waring against me.  God was saying that the impending destruction which had been spoken of by Enoch, which methuselah’s death would signify, would occur in the next 120 years. In other words, 120 years would pass before the destruction of the earth. Consequently, there was a limit to evil. Probationary time given before the flood.
		6:4 Contrary to popular opinion these men were not gigantic in size but rather had a tyrannical attitude (as in bullies) about them. Consequently, the verse mentions their feats.
Why were the descendants of the mixed seed more evil than the seed of Cain?
		6:4 the giants/bullies were violent men, who went from place to place causing trouble.
		6:5 No wonder God intervenes. There seems to be no force on Earth to withstand the violence of these men. Consequently, God puts an end to it.
If God knew that man would sin, and knew to the extent that man would sin, then why is God repenting of making man, and He full well knew the consequences of his actions.	It seems that this is just an expression of how he feels so that the un-fallen worlds will understand how God feels about sin.	6:6
		6:7 It is not clear whether there were some animals who had begun to eat flesh. However, it is clear that the animals were no doubt affected by the curse. Consequently, they too share their lot in the punishment that God dishes out.
		6:7 In this verse it is clear that not all the kinds of animals are preserved. In this verse we are told that the animals will be destroyed.
		6:7 The large animals that may have posed a threat to man, would have been destroyed at this point (Dinosaurs).
		6:8 All men had would be put to death. The wicked by the flood and the righteous by some other means. However, Noah was to live through this ordeal. Consequently, the verse starts with “but.” Every living thing was to be destroyed, but Noah.
		Noah represents those who will be translated in the end. He also represents though who will give the final warning before the close of probation.
		6:9 The genealogy of Noah is first composed of himself. Noah is here described as just and perfect. A title given to Job. The characteristic is that which was previously mentioned of Enoch. Consequently, we see similarities between the two individuals. (Enoch and Noah)
		6:9 Noah is the second person recorded in the bible as walking with God. Consequently, we can title him God’s mouthpiece or prophet similar to Enoch.
		6:10 Shem=name, ham=hot, Japheth=opened.
		6:11 Details are being provided for what was first mentioned in vs 2-5
		6:11- 12It seems that the description of “all flesh” is to include the animals.
		6:13 is the fulfilment of what was mentioned in verse 3.
before me/through them same word not clear why they are translated differently if it is the same word which is used.		6:13  This is the verse that details God’s giving to Noah of the plan.
		6:13 although God says that He will destroy the Earth here, the Earth was not actually destroyed. The fulfillment of the destruction of the Earth will be when Jesus comes the 3rd time. In the same way that sin will be consumed in the end and the ‘shell’  of the Earth left, it is the same way that the Earth was destroyed by the flood and the shell left.
		6:14 gopher wood= cypress wood Rooms=nest for animals Pitch= type of wet asphalt/slime
		6:15 length = 450 ft  breadth = 75 ft height= 45 ft
It is not clear based on the old English, how the window was to be inserted on the Ark.	There are varying interpretations for this window or windows of the Ark. Need more study.	6:16 although the scripture says a window, there are commentaries which say there were windows all around the roof of the Ark.
		6:16 The Ark had three stories.
		6:17 Note that the text is specific to animals on the Earth. All land animals.
Why does it seem that only Noah was found righteous? It seems that God singled out the man, rather than his family.		6:19 It seems clear that the coveneant was with Noah and not with his family?
		6:19 amplifies verse 7:2
If this is a type, what significance do the animals play in the hereafter?		6:20 Noah did not have to collect these animals, they would come unto him. It is important to note that had not even the birds of the air come into the ark, they too would have been destroyed.
Do animals  have a soul that can be saved, for heaven?
		Noah was to carry food for himself and family and also for the animals. It is clearly a miracle that he was able to do so. This no doubt was similar to the miracle of Elijah and the widow.
