To whom Noah cursed and why? (Part 3)
Why did He enjoined Noah to build an ark (which spent 100 years to be ready – see Gen 5:32 and Gen 7:6) to, then, send the deluge which lasted 1 year and 17 days? He could kill all that wicked generation in a jiffy, without need of all this.
Certainly, you will say: “the Creator desired to give opportunity to people repent, convert and be saved”.
Yes! Nonetheless, there are other reason: He wished the deluge to impregnate the mind and heart of Noah and his progeny in such a way that they never forget how that generation was obnoxious to the Creator. And one of the things that, certainly, contributed with the increase of violence was the alcoholic beverage (Prov 23:29,30; Eph 5:18).
• Pro 23:29,30 -> “Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine.”.
In face of all of this, can you imagine Noah drinking wine? Certainly not! I fancy Noah behaving like Timothy, which didn’t drink not even grape juice (as it was in Moses’ law in regard to the Narizites – 1Tim 5:23):
• Num 6:3,4 -> “he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.”.
After all, all of us needs to flee from all the appearance of the evil (1Thess 5:22), and not only of the evil itself. So, certainly Noah never drank, not even, grape juice.
I see Noah, as Job, making everything to veer of the evil (Job), even in the minimal details.
If Noah had made wine and get drunkard after all that he lived and, then, cursed Canaan for the sake of his father who saw him naked, he would have made a so stupid mistake, beyond being tremendously unrighteous, inasmuch as:
• 2Ki 14:6 -> “But he did not put to death the children of the murderers, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded, “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. But each one shall die for his own sin.””.
In this case, although Noah could be saved (if he repented and converted of these mistakes), he wouldn’t occupy so protrude place before the Creator.
Furthermore, the Holy Scripture is clear:
• Gen 9:20 -> “Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.”.
Agriculture was the expertise of Noah. The most that Noah could do is grape juice (every one can do this). Nonetheless, to make wine is something ingenious, which demands someone proficient.
Have a nice day.
Tomorrow we will keep on.
