Scripture Pages that Link to Here
Genesis 3 should probably be added.
- Yahweh saw the wickedness and constant evil ... "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
- The reason for the flood: the moral condition of the people - constant evil. (This is God's evaluation. It does not mean that the people recognized themselves as evil. Evil people - then and now - normally don't.)
- In a world influenced by human sin, death must be a part of the life cycle. And so we read here about a cycle of death (corresponding to God "hiding his face") and life/birth/renewal (corresponding to God "sending forth is Spirit" and "renewing the face of the ground").
- Ecc 1:13 ... It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
- This heavy burden is the result of human sin. It is related to what happened in Genesis 3:1-24.
