Torah Portion: Noach

This Torah Portion (Noach) is just full of nuggets of "amazing-ness"!!!

I found a new Bible study tool and it is amazing too. You can find it at theWord.net. After you download it, if you click on 'NET' above the center box, it allows you to just hover your mouse over the word in scripture and you can see the Strong's number, word and definition. As I said, it is amazing and makes studying scripture so much easier! 

Here are my notes from the Noach...


Parsha Noach ~ Gen. 6:9-11:32
Haftarah: Isaiah 66:1-24
Brit Hadashah: Matt 24:36-46; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Heb 11:7

Discussion Notes:
·         1 Peter 3:18 ~
o   v. 19 – spirits in prison (blinded Israelites)
o   v. 20 – through water
·         Noah – means rest
o   But, eventually, it will be Israel that brings rest.
·         Noah –
o   Just, perfect in his generations (his family) – walked with Yah
o   Col. 1:1(?) Heb. 7:11?
·         One of all the clean animals (from Noah) preserves our life today. (Sacrifices of Noah)
·         Isa. 41 – 49 ~ Read to understand covenant w/ Israel.
·         Eph. 2:18 – “grafted in”
·         Mary thought Yeshua was the gardener when she saw him after the resurrection. Brad Scott   believes that Yeshua was a gardener.
o   John 20:15 – “…Because she thought he was the gardener…”
§  Gardener > G2780 kepouros (kee-pou-ros') n. a garden-keeper, i.e. gardener. [from G2779 and ouros (a warden)]
o   Mark 6:3 – carpenter (#G5045 – tekton - plotter – gardener?)
§  “Is this not the carpenter’s son…”
·         Rev. 6:2 – first seal opened…rider has a bow (rainbow? Rainbow destroyed?)
o   Indigo is missing from gay pride rainbow…leaving even number (6)…number of the beast (& man)
§  Must leave nefesh behind….conquer it!
10/21/17 & 10/13/18:
·         Gen. 7:10 ~ they were “sealed” for 7 days before rains.
·         Gen. 9:25 ~ Canaan cursed by Noah.
·         Ark events…
o   Gen. 7:11 ~ 600th year of Noah’s life…2nd month (Cheshvan), 17th day = rains and floods
o   Gen. 8:4 ~ 17th day of the 7th month (Nisan) = Ark came to rest on Ararat.
o   Gen. 8:14 ~ 27th day of the 2nd month (Cheshvan) = the earth was dry.
o   In the ark for a little more than a year.
§  Gen. 7:24 > “The waters prevailed over the earth for 150 days.”
o   Similarity to the millennial kingdom?
·         Animals were killed too…they were doing wrong.
o   Gen. 6:12 > “…for all living creatures on the earth were sinful.”
§  Sinful = H7843 שָׁחַת shachath (shaw-chath') v. 1. to decay. 2. to rot or corrode.
·         Root: H1870 דֶּרֶךְ derek (deh'-rek) n-m. 1. a road (as trodden). 2. (figuratively) a course of life or mode of action, often adverb.
§  Man (and Beast) departed from THE WAY  !!!
·         Heb. 11:7 > Noah had holy fear…
o   “…with reverent regard…” G2125 εὐλαβέομαι eulabeomai (ev-la-ɓe'-o-mai) v. 1. to be circumspect. 2. (by implication) to be apprehensive. 3. (religiously) to reverence. KJV: (moved with) fear
·         Shem > Yeshua came from his lineage (Abraham).
·         Gen. 6:16 > “Make a window [H6672 צֹהַר tsohar (tso'-har) n-f. a light {Root is #6671 ‘tsahar’ – meaning to glisten} (i.e. window): dual double light, i.e. noon] for the ark and finish it to within a cubit [H520 אַמָּה 'ammah (am-maw') n-f. 1. (properly) a mother. 2. (unit of measure) the fore-arm (below the elbow). 3. a cubit. 4. (also) a door-base (as a bond of the entrance] from the top.”
o   Literally…To make a light for the box to complete it to a mother above.
o   From Bill Cloud…Suggests something that makes a “circle of light.”
§  It is ambiguous as to what this was exactly; legend says a “precious stone.”
§  It supposedly illuminated the entire ark; according to Midrash:
·         “During the entire twelve months that Noah was in the ark he did not require the light of the sun by day or the light of the moon by night, but he had a polished gem which he hung up: when it as dim he knew that it was day, and when it shone he knew it was night.”
o   Interesting… Prophetic? Yeshua as our precious corner stone…“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious.” – 1 Peter 2:4
o   And…“And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. . . . The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.” - Rev 21:10-11, 23
o
·         Left Behind > We DO  want to be left behind!!
o   Matt. 24:37-39…”As in the days of Noah…”
§  Noah (& his family) were ‘sealed’, ‘covered’ and…Left behind…while everyone else was taken.
·         Fire and brimstone fell on the people of Sodom...Lot and his family were spared (left behind) while everyone else were taken in judgement.
§  Luke 17:37 > “Where [will they be taken], Master?” He answered, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered”.
·         The corpses of those taken away will be food for the birds.
