Resetting the Chess Board
We know from Adam and Eve came humanity at large so we want go through the part in history that humanity came to be. We pick up history at the time of Noah.
Noah was the tenth generation pre-flood Patriarch. Noah was born in 1056 BC. We mainly know about Noah from our biblical training and even in some public education of his building of a large Arc and moving a male and female species of all the animals, reptiles, and insects into the Arc for a great flood. Most of us have only been told that the flood was to kill all the wickedness that existed on the earth at that time. There is some truth to this statement but there are also some major untold truths to this as well. It is in these untold truths where the rubber meets the road.
Noah was 500 years old when God came to him and told him to build the Arc. We want go into the building process, the collection of all the Arc inhabitants, the flood or any other thing about that event. But we need to look at some history surrounding Noah. Noah’s father was Lamech. Lamech was the son of Methuselah. Methuselah was the son of Enoch.
What the scriptures tell us about Noah was that when Noah was four hundred and eighty years old all the righteous sons of men were dead, except Methuselah and Noah himself. At God's command they both announced that one hundred and twenty years would be given to men for repentance; if in that time they had not mended their evil ways, the earth would be destroyed.
What were the conditions of the world at this time?
Genesis 6:1-7 tells us “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants (in Hebrew Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
What is critical for our study here are a couple of things.
Who are the sons of God? So where do we see in the scriptures the first mention of the sons of God? We find the scripture definition in Job 38:7 "On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" We find that angels (here described as "sons of God") existed before the earth was developed. Therefore, angels existed on the first day of creation in Genesis 1.
In Genesis 6 the reference to the sons of God fallen angels? In 1 Peter 3:18–22, Peter refers to spirits in prison because they disobeyed in Noah’s day. “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” Though disputed, the word “spirits” most likely refers to evil spirits as identified in Matthew 8:16 “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:” and Matthew 12:45 “Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.” And Luke 4:36 “And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.” and Luke 10:20 “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” And Acts 19:12-16 “So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” The connection of these spirits with Noah’s day points strongly to Genesis 6. That these “spirits in prison” are fallen angels is further confirmed by similar passages in 2 Peter 2:4–10 “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.” In these verses he apostle cites three Old Testament examples of God’s judgment as a warning to false teachers. First are the fallen angels who are chained and awaiting final judgment (2 Pet. 2:4). The second and third examples are the flood in Noah’s day (2 Pet. 2:5; cf. Gen. 6–8) and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (2 Pet. 2:6; Gen. 19). Given that the second and third examples not only come from Genesis but are also listed in chronological order, it makes sense to see the first example as also coming from Genesis. (Genesis 6:1–4 comes right before the flood narrative, after all.) Since angels are spiritual beings, Peter’s reference to their being “chained” refers not to physical chains, but rather to a limitation of their activity—presumably to prevent them from indulging in such wickedness again. You can find further cross reference in Jude 5, 6 and 7.
In Rabbinical Literature we are told that the plea of the sons of God plea was in vain. They told Noah even while building the ark the wicked made sport of him and his work, saying: "If the Flood should come, it could not harm us. We are too tall; and, moreover, we could close up with our feet [which were of monstrous size] the springs from below." (Being descendants of the "sons of God," they were of immense stature - Giants).
So the stage was set for a reset. God was going to wipe out all of humanity with the exception of Noah’s family and the animals on the Arc. For which the floods did. But there was an exception. The same sons of God which caused the conditions of the world to be so evil before the flood were also spared during the flood. Yes, they still existed. We will get to this in a bit later.
Upon the drying up of the floods Noah found himself and his family on dry land again. We are told of God’s Covenant with Noah when the rains stopped, the water receded and Noah and his family were on dry land in Genesis 9.
Genesis 9:1-27 states “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”
What we find is a reset. God made a Covenant with Noah and his family just like He did with Adam as to obedience and more. In this Covenant were all of the same ingredients as that of the Edenic Covenant with more. Added were the no more floods and the rainbow.
Just like the condition between Seth and Cain (good vs evil) in the physical form to match that of the invisible spirit form so happened again with Noah’s sons. So while we started over by removing all the evil on earth, we also started over with the chessboard setup the same as with Adam and Eve. Shem was to Seth as Ham was to Cain. Therefore, Jesus bloodline would come through Shem. So we had two races of people again. Shem represented the goodly folks and Ham represented evil.
It is important to distinguish from history how the positioning of Noah’s sons conforms into today. Let’s direct our first focus on Ham. Noah did something just like God did to Satan, once he judge his sin he changed his name – Ham to Canaan and cursed him to other land.
From history texts, we find that Canaan was the name of a large and prosperous ancient country (at times independent, at others a tributary to Egypt) located in the Levant region of present-day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. It was also known as Phoenicia (purple).
Ancient History Encyclopedia tells us that the name 'Canaan' appears in various ancient texts from Egypt to Mesopotamia. In the Egyptian texts, Canaan seems to have been used as a designation for Egypt’s Asiatic province. In the Bible, Canaan could refer to the whole of Palestine west of Jordan, the ideal inheritance of the Hebrews; but it could also refer to more restricted areas, especially the coastland of Palestine. Correspondingly, the biblical writers occasionally refer to the whole indigenous population of Palestine as `Canaanites’ (thus interchangeably with 'Amorites'). On other occasions, they seem to distinguish the Canaanites and Amorites from other groups among the occupants of Palestine.
It also tells us that in religion, they worshipped many gods but, chief among them, the god El, the goddess Ashera (associated with Astarte) and her consort Baal, and Sumerian deities such as Utu-Shamash. Baal and Ashera are both considered initially vegetative/fertility deities who then took on more impressive attributes ascribed to Sumerian gods such as Enlil and Ninlil or Enki and Ninhursag. Other deities worshipped included a minor god named Yahweh who, according to recent scholarship, may have been the Canaanite god of metallurgy. Religious rites included human sacrifice (especially child sacrifice) in the understanding that the gods gave only the best to the people and so they should reciprocate by offering their best to the gods.
Put a book mark there and let’s now look at Shem.
The portion of the earth occupied by the descendants of Shem, (Genesis 10:21,31) begins at its northwestern extremity with Lydia, and includes Syria (Aram), Chaldaea (Arphaxad), parts Of Assyria (Asshur), of Persia (Elam), and of the Arabian peninsula (Joktan). Modern scholars have given the name of Shemitic or Semitic to the languages spoken by his real or supposed descendants which was the Hebrew language. Shem and his family followed God and it was Shem linage that was the bloodline of Jesus. It was Abraham a descendant of Shem that God built the great nation of Israel.
So we find the chess board setup again just like it was with Seth and Cain. Shem was the bloodline God had chosen for His people and Ham (Canaan) that had aligned himself with the Satan and the fallen angles. For we are told in Numbers 13: 1-3 that God told Moses “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, everyone a ruler among them. And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.” And in Numbers 13:33 the men came back reporting to Moses “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
However, instead of referencing the giants as to sons of God as did in Genesis 6:4 we have a common reference to giants but we are told that the giants are the sons of Anak. There is a law called the hermeneutical law – the law of first mention. This law is used to define terms in the scriptures. What it means is that since God has told us He is consistent with all information, we can look to the first mention in the scriptures to determine what God meant there and apply it to everywhere that term is mentioned in other scriptures. So as we discussed with the term sons of God representing the giants before the flood we can apply to this the same meaning as the sons of God after the flood. But who are the sons Anak?
Easton’s Bible Dictionary tells us the following:
The descendants of Anak (Joshua 11:21; Numbers 13:33; Deuteronomy 9:2). They dwelt in the south of Palestine, in the neighbourhood of Hebron (Genesis 23:2; Joshua 15:13). In the days of Abraham (Genesis 14:5, 6) they inhabited the region afterwards known as Edom and Moab, east of the Jordan. They were probably a remnant of the original inhabitants of Palestine before the Canaanites, a Cushite tribe from Babel, and of the same race as the Phoenicians and the Egyptian shepherd kings. Their formidable warlike appearance, as described by the spies sent to search the land, filled the Israelites with terror. They seem to have identified them with the Nephilim, the "giants" (Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33) of the antediluvian age. There were various tribes of Anakim (Joshua 15:14). Joshua finally expelled them from the land, except a remnant that found a refuge in the cities of Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod (Joshua 11:22). The Philistine giants whom David encountered (2 Samuel 21:15-22) were descendants of the Anakim.
The sons of Anak are also referred to in the 19th-18th century and of the same race as the" Phoenicians and the Egyptian shepherd kings.
Here are some important things to take away from that discussion about humanity setup after the flood with Noah and his sons.
God’s covenant with Noah was the same Covenant God made with Adam but the addition of no more floods and the rainbow we see after a rain storm.
Shem was the chosen one to continue with the bloodline of Jesus.
Ham chose to become a follower of Satan and as such continued with e bloodline of evil just like Cain did.
The flood wiped out all living things on earth which included the offspring’s of the fallen angles and the daughters of man.
The flood did not remove the fallen angles from earth.
The fallen angles once again took daughters of the decedents of Ham and created giants just like before the flood.
The offspring’s, having a DNA much different than humanity, were not destroyed the second time and therefore, lived on the earth then as well as now and they were called giants, having a great stature.
The giants were like Phoenicians and the Egyptian shepherd kings – meaning ruling kings over land masses and people.
It is at this point we need to direct our attention to the Pharaoh Dynasty. You may ask why. Because here is what they didn’t tell you in history classes or even in church pulpits. It is through the migration of the princes and princesses throughout the world at the time of Pharaoh that continue the Pharaoh bloodline that has led to what we have come to know as the elite ruling class today.
We have always known that we had two factions of groups living on this planet – good and evil. But what we didn’t know is just where the bloodlines for which they came. This is stuff they don’t teach you in world history classes. The reason is that the ruling class that has permeated every function of society has gained the control to limit exactly what we mortal humans are allowed to know. It is here at the very time in history that the plan of the world was laid out and executed with such precision humanity never saw it coming. However, the main reason we never saw it coming was because we had not studied within the scriptures the basis of the world structure and therefore couldn’t see we were being governed not by God but by Satan.
