Answer for the human race


Genesis 2:7            New English Translation

7 The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.  

 

The spirit was placed in the flesh. Is that where it all started?

Pure and clean the flesh was then to be in the presence of God

No death or sin was ruling then, just life itself was singing

With the Glory of God, Himself as darkness comprehended it not

 

Then “The Fall” and the spirit died and the flesh was soon to follow

Things were getting worse right then until all corruption died

As during “The Flood“ judgment came after a divine longsuffering

Noah preached, but only his family was saved, as temporal here was tried

 

Genesis 6:5-8               New English Translation

5 But the Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the sight of the Lord.

 

Eight souls were saved through the water, they were baptized you may say

Cleansed and kept from judgment. The Grace of Jesus, The Christ at work

Now it seems in today’s situation, so similar to judgment being postponed in patience

By the Resurrected Christ, Himself as the True Bride still brings His Living Word

 

For how long?
