● The result of the union of “Sons of God” & “Daughters of Men” were the “Nephilim” (Giants). A union between believers and unbelievers.


● The result was God’s disapproval. Gross wickedness.

(See Job 1:6, 2:1, & 38:7) also (Jude 6 & 7)


Three Groups Of People

● Those that perished in the Flood.

● Those that were preserved through the flood.

● Those that were removed prior to the flood.


The Great Flood

Arguments For A Universal Flood (Gen. 7:19-20)

1. The Depth of the flood.

2. Duration of the flood.

Flood Facts

Ark Statistics

● 45 feet high x 75 feet wide x 450 feet long.

● Total Ark volume = 1,518,750 cu. ft.


● A standard railroad cattle car is 8 ft. wide x 9 ft. high x 40 ft. long = 2880 cu. ft.

● 1,518,750 cu. ft. divided by 2880 = 522 cattle cars.

● A cattle car will hold approx. 240 sheep.


● 240 sheep x 522 cattle cars = 125,280 sheep.

● 522 railroad cars 46 feet long = 24,012 ft. long train.

● 24,012 ft. divided by 1 mile (5,280 ft.) = 4.55 mile long train.

5. A test of his cupidity- The King of Sodom offers a reward.

6. A test of his faith for his seed- A suggestion by his wife to take

Five Parts of Testing Faith

1. The trying of the sufficiency of his faith. Would God supply all his needs?

2. Testing the humility of his faith. Would he yield to Lot?


3. Testing the boldness of his faith. Would he rescue Lot?

4. Testing the dignity of his faith. Would he accept a reward for saving Lot?

5. The trying of the patience of his faith. Would he wait for God or take matters into his own hands?


● It is one thing to commit our way unto the Lord, but is quite another to trust also in Him, and wait till he brings it to pass.

● Jacob was the chosen one, but he could not wait for God to deliver.


● Moses knew the 400 years was about up, but he took matters in his own hands and killed an Egyptian.

● This is the first mention of a well in scripture.

● Three things about the well.

1. It was located in the wilderness


2. The well was by the fountain

3. It was at the well that God revealed Himself.

● In the wilderness is where the Lord meets with the sinner and where the needy one finds the savior.


● “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).

● The well is the place where the sheep are watered & refreshed.

● God opened the eyes of Hagar and she saw the well.


● The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of our heart.

● It was at the well Israel was gathered by the word of Jehovah.

● The Lord is the object of our praises.


Two Things About Hagar

1. The Lord calls her Sarai’s handmaid not Abram’s wife.

2. She is told to return & submit to her mistress (for another 13 years).


● If we have done wrong- the only way to divine blessing, to peace and happiness is to retrace our footsteps in repentance and

submission to the Lord.


Three Great Truths

● Genesis reveals what man is always seeking.

1. Righteousness – The sense of being right

• A. Man dislikes the feeling of guilt.


2. Peace – A sense of inner well being.

A. Man is ever seeking a certain calmness & inner confidence.

3. Joy – A sense of gladness and happiness out of life.


● These three virtues are unseen, almost unconscious goals of life everywhere!


Man Seeks Righteousness

● Abraham’s life story is achieving righteousness by means of faith.

1. The New Testament calls it “Justification By Faith”.

● God appeared and talked with Abram on seven occasions.


1. Beginning with Abrams call in Ur and ending with the offering of

Isaac in obedience to God’s command.

2. Abram learned eight lessons of faith.

3. The parallel to all these is found in the life of every believer today.


4. Abraham is known as the father of the faithful and “the friend of God”.

● The first lesson faith must learn is that of obedience.

1. It’s not faith to say “I believe” it is necessary to add “I obey”


2. Abram is sent on a trip without a map to an unknown destination.

3. God give him a promise that God will show the way.


4. The promise includes seven specifics:

A. I will make you a great nation.

B. I will bless you.

C. I will make your name great.


D. You shall be a blessing.

E. I will bless those that bless you.

F. I will curse them that curse you.

G. In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.


5. Though Abram was 75 years old when God called, his response was immediate.

6. The spiritual parallel for today is for believers to turn from the natural claims of family and friends, and follow God.


● In the land of Canaan God appears to Abram a second time

1. God promises to give the land to Abram’s seed


● Abram’s life in the land is characterized by 2 symbols

1. A tent and an altar.

2. Whenever Abram is walking

in faith these 2 symbols are always present.


3. The tent is a symbol of the pilgrim character of his existence.

4. He is to never own the land outright, but is to be a sojourner in it.

5. The altar is the symbol of fellowship and communion with God.


● The second lesson Abram learns in the life of faith is the sufficiency of faith.

1. Abram’s faith was tested by a famine in the land.


● He trusted God enough not to return to the land of Haran.

1. He does go to Egypt to flee the famine.

2. During this time in Egypt there is no record of either the tent or the altar.


3. His weak faith led Abram to tell a lie to defend his wife’s honor and finds himself getting rebuked.

4. Through failure he learns God is able to supply his needs even in times of difficulty.


5. Humbled and repentant, Abram returns to the land and once again the tent and the altar appear.


● Abram’s third lesson of faith is that of humility.

1. Abram and Lot illustrate different principles of Christian living.

2. Abram was following God. Lot was following Abram. Lot was a tag along believer.


3. When a dispute arose between the herdsmen. Abram exhibited

humility of faith and allowed Lot to choose first.

4. Lot chose his land on the basis of human measurement and ended up in Sodom.


5. Even though Lot obtained, he did not possess the land.

● Abram’s fourth lesson was to exhibit the boldness of faith.

1. Chapter 14 records the historic invasion of the valley of the Dead Sea by five kings of the east.


2. Lot was captured.

3. Abram’s 318 servants pursues the kings and win the battle, even

though they are greatly outnumbered.


4. On his return he is met by Melchizedek at the King’s Vale. (Now known as the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem).


5. Melchizedek appears as the type of an eternal priesthood.

6. Melchizedek strengthens Abram to resist the offer of the king of

Sodom to make him rich.


● Abram refuses to be made rich by anyone but God thus manifesting the fifth quality of faith.

● Faith is independent of all natural resources.

1. Chapter 15 is the account of the fourth direct appearance of Jehovah to Abram.


2. God declares he is Abram’s shield, and his exceeding great reward.

3. Abram’s intimacy with God has grown.

4. He can now share the temptation to doubt that was in his heart.


5. God’s response was to promise him an heir from whom a progeny as numerous as the stars in the sky.

● Genesis 15:6 “his faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.”• 1. Abram is now the friend of

God.


2. Jehovah renews the promise of

the land.

3. Abram requests a sign.

4. The sign is a vision of a smoking furnace and a lamp indicating the furnace of affliction.


• 5. Abram’s descendants would go through hardship in Egypt before they gained the land.

6. Abram begins to learn the sixth quality of faith.


Chapter 16Faith endures and has patience

1. After 12 years of waiting, Abram & Sarai take matters into their own hands.

2. Hagar is given to Abram to produce a son.


3. No tent or altar appear in this chapter.

4. The man of faith becomes the man of flesh.


● God appears to Abram for a fifth time.

1. An everlasting covenant is made.

2. Symbolized by changing Abram’s name to Abraham

and Sarai’s name to Sarah.


3. A new revelation of God’s name as El Shaddai.

4. The sign of the new covenant is circumcision.

5. Ishmael cannot be the heir because he is of the flesh.

6. Isaac is of the promise.


Chapter 17● At 75 Abraham Gets a call from

God.

● At 86 it’s Abraham and Hagar.

● Now Ishmael is 13 and a man and Abraham is 99 years old.


● It’s been 13 years since Abraham has heard from God (Verse 1)

For the fullness of time.
