GENESIS CHAPTER 6 - 6:19

GENESIS  CHAPTER  6

6:4 > Some hold that these "sons of God" were the "angels which kept not their first estate" ( JUDE  6 ). It is asserted that the title is in the Old Testament exclusively used of angels. But this is an error ( ISAIAH  43:6 ).
Angels are spoken of in a sexless way. No female angels are mentioned in Scriptures, and we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels ( MATTHEW  22:30 ). The uniform Hebrew and Christian interpretation has been that verse 2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth ( GENESIS  4:26 ). For apostasy there is no remedy but judgment ( ISAIAH  1:2__7,  24__25;  HEBREWS  6:4__8;  10:26__31 ). Noah, "a preacher of righteousness," is given 120 years, but he won no convert, and the judgment predicted by his great-grandfather fell ( JUDE  14__15;  GENESIS  7:11 ).

6:9 > Noah, and Enoch are two antediluvians of whom it is said that they "walked with God" ( GENESIS  5:24;  6:9 ). Enoch, "translated that he should not see death" ( HEBREWS  11:5 ), becomes a type of the saints who will be "caught up" before the great tribulation ( 1  THESSALONIANS  4:14__17;  REVELATION  3:10;  DANIEL  12:1;  MATTHEW  24:21 ). Noah, preserved through the Flood, is type of the Israelitish people who will be preserved through the tribulation ( JEREMIAH  3):5__9 ). See "Tribulation" ( PSALM  2:5;  REVELATION  7:14 ) 

16:14 > "Ark": type of Christ as the refuge of His people from judgment ( HEBREWS  11:7 ). In strictness of application this speaks of the preservation through the "great tribulation" ( MATTHEW  24:21__22 ) of the remnant of Israel who will turn to the Lord after the Church ( typified by Enoch, who was translated to heaven before the judgment of the Food ) has been caught up to meet the Lord ( GENESIS  5:22__24;  1  THESSALONIAN  4:15__17;  HEBREWS  11:5;  ISAIAH  2:10__11;  26:20__21 ). But the type has also a present reference to the position of the believer "in Christ" ( EPHESIANS  1 ), It should be noted that the word translated "pitch" in Genesis  6:14 is the same word translated "atonement" in Leviticus  17:11. It is atonement that keeps out the waters of judgment and makes the believer's position "in Christ" safe and blessed. 

6:19 > Genesis  7:2.  In addition to two animals, etc., commanded ( GENESIS  6:19 ) to be preserved for future increase ( "they shall be male and female" ), the further command was given more than 100 years later to take of clean beasts, beasts acceptable for sacrifice, seven each. Exodus gives ten such beasts, or but seventy in all. Modern ships carry hundreds of live beasts, with their food, besides scores of human beings.

EXODUS CHAPTER 12 - 12:11

EXODUS  CHAPTER  12 12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ). ( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ). ( 2 ). - The Lamb thus tested must be slain ( EXODUS  12:6;  JOHN  12:24 ).   ( 3 ). - The blood must be applied ( EXODUS  12:7 ). This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism ( JOHN  3:36 ). ( 4 ). - The blood applied of itself, without anything in addition, constituted a perfect protection from judgment ( EXODUS  12:13;  1  JOHN  1:7 ). ( 5 ). - The feast typified Christ the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper ( MATTHEW  26:26__28;  1  CORINTHIANS  11:23__26 ). To observe the feast was a duty and privilege, but not a condition of safety. As a matter of fact, the bread was n

EXODUS CHAPTER 30 - 30:34 AND 30:38

EXODUS  CHAPTER  30 30:34  Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38  What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind.  JOHN  4:23__24.  30:18  Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN  13:2__10;  EPHESIANS  5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31  Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spirit are service

GENESIS CHAPTER 37 - 37:2

GENESIS  CHAPTER  35 35:7 the God of Bethel. Genesis  28:19.  There it was the place as scene of the ladder-vision which impressed Jacob. He called the place "Bethel," the house of God. Now it is the God of the place, rather than the place, and he calls it El-Bethel, "the God of the house of God." Genesis  33:20. 35:14 The first mention of the drink-offering. It is not mentioned among the Levitical offering of  Leviticus  1__7,  though include in the instructions for sacrifice in the land ( NUMBERS  15:5__7 ). It was always "poured out," never drunk, and may be considered a type of Christ in the sense of Psalm  22:14;  Isaiah  53:12. 35:18 son of my right hand. Benjamin, "son of sorrow" to his mother, but "son of my right hand" to his father, becomes thus a double type of Christ. As Ben-oni He was the suffering One because of whom a sword pierced His mother's heart ( LUKE  2:35 ); as Benjamin, head to the warrior tribe ( G
