Flood or Famine
A Flood and Famine?
One man was chosen. One, to preserve life. He gathered before the bad time came which would cover the earth.
There are two narratives I had not considered before as connected. Maybe they are, but in some ways exactly the opposite.
1. The two narratives include a forewarning.
2. The two narratives have one man chosen.
3. The two narratives are about preserving life.
4. The two narratives involve preparation.
5. The two narratives include collecting.
6. The two narratives are about a type of destructive.
7. The two narratives are about survival tje destruction.
What are these two narratives?
1. God personally forewarned Noah, and later Joseph received God’s forewarning through Pharaoh’s dreams.
2. God chose both Noah and Joseph.
3. Both Noah and Joseph preserve life.
4. Noah built an ark and Joseph made plans for the next 14 years.
5. Noah collected animals while Joseph collected one-fifth of the harvest.
6. The types of destruction are the opposite, one being a flood and the other a famine.
7. Each one, with God’s guidance, survived.
If we continue to look, we can see Jesus.
1. Scriptures forewarn of Jesus’s death.
2. Jesus is God’s chosen one.
3. Jesus came to preserve spiritual life.
4. Jesus spent 30 years and then then 3 years of ministry preparing.
5. Jesus collected His 12 apostles, and eventually God’s chosen ones.
6. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.
7. The resurrection is Jesus’s surviving so that we too can survive.
The Bible keeps telling the same stories. Are we seeing them?
