This apocryphal book reimagines the account of Genesis 56, adding details to the flood narrative and elaborating on what was revealed to Enoch in heaven. People scoffed, but Noah believed God and survived the greatest catastrophe the world has ever known. While we typically imagine Noah building a ship to carry his family and animals, ancient biblical art depicts the ark as a simple wooden box with legs, as in this well-preserved mosaic floor found at the site of Mopsuestia in Turkey. God told Noah to build an ark. Noah was perhaps the most unlikely seaman. That this instruction from the Lord to build the ark came when he was approximately 500 years old. think you the creator has no more light? If Hollywood can screw up WWII movies, with tons of factual, documented evidence to rely on, what do you expect the celluloid folks to do with a Bible story? What are you talking about? 2. The father of the Canaanite gods was also refered to as El Elyon (God Most High) and so the original interpretation of Deuteronomy 32:8 likely read: Photo by Klaus-Peter Simon, own work, CC BY 3.0. The book of Genesis does not have one scribe only, it is a book which means beginnings, plural, more than one beginning, each beginning seemingly accounted for by three different scribes, Enoch, Noah & Moses. 17 And then shall all the righteous escape,And shall live till they beget thousands of children,And all the days of their youth and their old ageShall they complete in peace. This movie was little more than the cinematic equivalent of a bad midrash directed by a very foolish man. He wants to lift them up out of the turbulent waters and set them on higher ground. Check out the story in Genesis. Hollywood doesnt follow book of genesis or enoch. I simply cannot conceive of the possibility that mixing the mind of Christ with the minds of men can lead to greater truth, but thats what happened in Gen 6 where mythology of ancient cultures are being inserted to clarify Gen 6:2 as promulgated in the Noah movie. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. Hence, 2/10/600 means the tenth day of the second month in Noah's 600th year. Noah said to the people, "Return from your evil ways and deeds." They did not change in those 120 years. Believe it or not! Ever read much from that book? He built an ark with room for more. 20. In its expansion of the flood account we are introduced to the Watchers, fallen angels who mated with human women and produced offspringthe Nephilim, the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown of Genesis 6:4or giants. They picture would have had some merit if the credits would have started rolling once they got on the ark. God's timing is always correct. Noahs ark and the biblical flood story are also recurring themes in the mosaic floors that adorned churches and synagogues throughout the ancient world. Much later after Israelite spies returned from the land of Canaan they compared the giant men in Canaan to the ancient Nephilim of Noahs day. The exact opposite of Christs clearly worded statements, this is not a fantasy God implores the human race to enjoy. I sure God gave some joy to him , very little, when job was finished, when Noah got drunk . This role is reversed in the non-canonical book, The Shepherd of Hermes. In chapter 51 the elm tree symbolizes the rich person that doesn.t produce fuit; the rich person has money, but is poor towards the Lord, since he is distracted by his wealth. It gos on to describe a type of symbiotic relationship between the elm and the vine (not unlike Gilgamesh and Enkidu) so that the vine entwines itself aroun the elm, enabling it to bear fruit, which it couldnt do lying on the ground. Ancient biblical art depicts Noahs ark not as a boat, but rather as a simple wooden box on legs. People laughed and mocked Noah, but through his obedience and faith in God, he was the first person in the Bible to be called righteous. And now swim in joy, (erelong to swim at large) and laugh; Well, to tell the truth, it just doesnt hold up very well at all. The Book of Enoch states that the Watchers shared secret knowledge with their sons that led to the corruption of the world. 22:30. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] The ark was finished. Yes,yes, yes.just almost exactly what Ive been saying in all my posts on this subject.finally you have come to where Ive been concerning how the post-flood Mesopotamian culture learned about the contents of the first six chapters of Genesis. 1. I think that is the moral lesson of the rock giants in "Noah.". And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore. Point 2 JESUS cast out demons. Do you remember the forms that progeny all earthly life takes? Enochs father was Jared, whose name means go down and it was believed that it was during his generation when the watchers descended. No, I see you do not understand the translation & transliteration differences that occur between languages. The waters flooded the earth for 150 days, including the 40 days of rain (Genesis 7:12, 17, 24; 8:1). These were rare events, but God had given his angels the power to materialize as humans, a power that has evidently been taken away from the angels who sinned. We are as we are on this earth due to our composition of DNA, you can be sure something similar is going on with the spirit bodies of which the angels are composed. Genesis 6:4 says that these former angels had relations with the daughters of men and produced freakish, hybrid, offspring called Nephilim. Photo by Klaus-Peter Simon, own work, CC BY 3.0 Not so fast! So I agree with Jesus statement in Mark 12:25 and Matt. I once read where Jerome wrote to a female parishoner that he wanted to see repentant tears in her hollow cheek, which to me is a red flag that these fallen angels or watchers were perhaps religious figures who conspired to make women subserviant. And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is wrought upon the earth destroy from off the earth. Because you & the Noah movie are contorting Gen 6:2 sons into angels based on an English capital g for God for the Hebrew word elohyim for you have no standing based on the words of Christ in Mark 12:25 & Matt 22:30, in so doing you are challenging the words of Christ himself, you are suggesting you know something Christ just plain forgot about & that he needs you & the Noah movie to get him straightened out on. In the Noah story, God asked him to construct the Ark because the flood was going to destroy every disbeliever on that area. Paul says When we trust in God, we have the opportunity to see the fruits of our labor. Its certainly a fun ride, but how does the movie compare to the actual story of Noah in the Bible? To be sure, if you listen to what youre being told, that you cant rely on anything that is not approved biblical canon, then you become usefull as building material in someones Tower of Bible. (see Job 38:7 where angels are called sons of God) who had materialized as humans so they could have their pick of earthly women for obvious purposes. How foolish to build an ark on dry ground with the sun shining and life moving forward as usual! Therefore, the creation of Giants Without SEX is a viable concept and is probably happening as we speak. Why did Noah build the Ark in 40 days? God tells Noah to build the ark. I know of scripture stating at the fall of certain angels from their first estate who became bound by chains in darkness awaiting judgement, but if they are bound then I feel quite assured they are not out copulating & socializing with other beings, much less humans. The standing stones at Gobekli Tepe were carved in the form of predatory creatures the significance of which eludes us. I know you will probably take this as an affront to your post & I dont intend for it to sound insulting, but fantasies are a huge hinrance to the truth. Havent seen the movie yet, but it seems to me that the stone giants are the prehistoric Stonehenge-like monuments like the site of Gobekli Tepe near modern Urfa in southeast Turkey (ancient Ur of Kasdim, Genesis 11:31). Moses met a god with no image and no name I am = Being. Youre either Church of Christ or from a denom that has a heavy Calvinist influence.

Proportionally this is closest to the dimensions of the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) at 453 feet x 40 feet x 35 feet but while the Carter is 3 feet longer it is also just over half the beam and just under half the depth (this latter probably includes the height of the sail). 300 is the height of the giants in 1 Enoch 7:2 and 300 cubits is the length of Noahs ark (Genesis 6:15).

And the Lord said unto Michael: Go, bind Semjz and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness.

These are obviously not elohiym (god) in heaven, it is clear from the context they are elohiym (god) residing on the planet Earth. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azzl: to him ascribe all sin. 9. Produced probably sometime during the second and first centuries B.C.E.,it is a collection of extravagant and unhistorical Jewish myths, evidently the product of exegetical elaborations on the brief Genesis reference to Enoch. Its Winters Tale and it was published in 1984 and now 30 years later the film based on the novel came out like the beginning of the book of Ezekial; It happened in the thirtieth year when I was in the community of exiles by the Chebar Canal, the heavens opened and I saw visions of Elohim.. Hence the emphasis on humans being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26, 5:1) after their experiance in exile among a populace who were mental slaves under the state-approved religion. 3 And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, Bring our cause before the Most High.. 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGL0sfKNR5w&list=PLV7Wy_Z8JeGiJfWIQkXTyDVTaCdfnxAqx for people who are interested in getting more info about the Watchers, Nephilim, Rephaim Giants & Fallen Angels before Noahs flood.

Standing stones seeming to represent gods are all over, the earliest without faces. The gyrations you two use to get around what the text says is laughable.. This is Hollywood, the land of make-believe, the realm of fiction, the empire of pretend, for Gods sake. I have to agree with Kurt.
