Sat.’s Devo - Life After the Flood

Read Gen. 8:1-10:32, Matt. 4:12-25, Ps. 4:1-8, Pr. 1:20-23 The ark finally rested and Noah sent out both a raven and a dove. The raven stood for the devil and the dove stood for the Holy Sprit. The raven did exactly what the devil does, he roamed to and fro over the earth, never tiring, waiting for something to dry up that he could devour. The dove was faithful to Noah and always coming back with clues so Noah will know what was going on on earth. God promised he would never do anything that he didn’t first tell his prophets. It is the job of the dove, the Holy Spirit to tell the prophets what to do. On the first day of the six hundred and first year, God called Noah out of the ark. In God’s 6,001st year, God is going to call us back to earth to replenish it after the great battle of Armageddon. The first thing Noah did was to make an altar and offer a sacrifice to God. For the first time in history, the animals were afraid of man, because now man was told to eat them. Remember what the food was at the Marriage feast in Revelation? It was the bodies of the sinners and demons. This makes me wonder if that isn’t the food we will eat then. God warned them they couldn’t eat anything that still had live blood in it. Sounds awful to me, but then our bodies aren’t going to be the same and eating will be of a totally different nature. If the devil’s job is to devour us now, it makes sense that we will devour him then. The disciples didn’t recognize Jesus when he came back in his resurrected body. I wonder if the men born after the flood were different than the ones before the flood? Food for thought. Another thing that stood out to me was in Gen. 9:20-27. Ham shamed his father, by not covering his nakedness, but Noah cursed Ham’s son, Canaan. What we do does affect the next generation. Lord, let the light of Your face shine upon us and fill our hearts with greater joy!
