GENESIS 4 AND 5
CHAPTER 4
CAIN WAS GIVEN HIS PUNISHMENT FOR KILLING HIS BROTHER--- SIN WAS DRAMATIZED WITH A KILLING VERY VERY EARLY ON. SIN WAS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE EARTH.
"AND ADAH BARE JABAL, HE WAS THE FATHER OF SUCH AS DWELL IN TENTS, AND OF THOSE THAT HAD CATTLE" [4: 20].
YOU DO NOT BEFORE A SKILLED NOMADIC CLAN AND HAVE CATTLE HERDS, WITHOUT SOME TEACHING; SURE GOD WAS STILL TEACHING THOSE WHO WERE DECIDING TO ESTABLISH A SKILL.
"AND HIS BROTHER'S NAME WAS JUBAL; HE WAS THE FATHER OF ALL SUCH WHO HANDLE THE HARP AND ORGAN" [VERSE 21].
HERE WAS ANOTHER SKILL---- THAT OF MUSIC. AS A MUSICIAN OF FRET INSTRUMENTS LIKE THE GUITAR; AS A TEACHER FOR MANY DECADES, I KNOW THE RULES OF MUSIC; YES THERE ARE RULES IN MUSIC, OBEY THEM NOT AND THE SOUNDS ARE TERRIBLE. TO BE A COMPOSER OF MUSIC YOU HAVE TO STUDY SOME YEARS [UNLESS YOU HAVE A GENIUS TALENT] MUSIC HARMONY. I ONCE TAUGHT FOR A MUSIC SCHOOL NEAR TORONTO, CANADA. I WALKED IN ONE DAY TO HEAR THIS HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, SOUND. I LOOKED AT THE RECEPTIONIST WHO COULD SEE I WAS AGHAST; SHE SAID, "O THAT'S SOMEONE PLAYING THE NOTION OF SOME TORONTO PROFESSOR WHO THINK THERE SHOULD BE NO RULES IN MUSIC." I'M GLAND TO SAY THAT NOTION DIED A QUICK DEATH. GOD WAS BUSIY AGAIN TEACHING THE RULES OF MUSIC. THERE ARE ONLY A MAXIMUM OF 12 NOTES IN MUSIC. THERE ARE 7 SHARPS, AND 7 FLATS---- A, A#, B, C. C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#----- REPEATING STARTS ANOTHER OCTAVE--- OCT MEANS 8. YOU ACTUALLY START OUT WITH THE SIMPLE OCTAVE OF 7 NOTES---- A, B, C, D, E, F, G---- THE 8TH NOTE IS OCTIVE, YOU START ANOTHER OCTAVE. THE SIMPLE OCTAVE IS THE KEY OF C--- C, D, E, F, G, A, B, ---- C STARTS ANOTHER OCTAVE. SO YOU CAN HAVE A VERY HIGH C, LOWER C, LOWER STILL C, AND A VERY LOW C. YOU HAVE COVERED FOUR OCTAVES.
A PIECE OF MUSIC IN WHAT IS CALLED THE KEY OF C, THE KEY OF C THAT HAS NO SHARPS OR FLATS, USED JUST THOSE 7 NOTES. BUT YOU CAN HAVE THE KEY OF C, THAT USES ONE OR MORE SHARPS OR FLATS---- SO-CALLED "ACCIDENTAL" SHARPS OR FLATES.
THEN YOU CAN MOVE TO A PIECE OF MUSIC THAT HAS ONE SPECIFIC SHARP OR FLAT---- THE KEY OR SCALE OF F, HAS AN AUTOMATIC B BLAT. THIS IS CALLED THE SCALE OF F.
THERE MUCH MORE OF COURSE, I'VE ONLY GIVEN YOU A SMALL PIECE OF THE WHOLE PIE OF MUSIC.
THERE ARE RULES TO MUSIC AND DEEPER RULES TO HARMONY; PEOPLE GO TO A UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE TO STUDY MUSIC AND ALL ITS RULES, TO PRODUCE PLEASANT HARMONIZING SOUNDS.
GOD WOULD HAVE TAUGHT THE FIRST MUSICIANS THE RULES OF MUSIC.
"AND ZILLAH, SHE ALSO BARE TUBALCAIN, AN INSTRUCTOR OF EVERY ARTIFICER IN BRASS, AND IRON..." [VERSE 22].
AGAIN GOD WOULD HAVE INSTRUCTED THEM ON WHERE METALS OF VARIOUS KINDS COULD BE FOUND, AND HOW TO MAKE BRASS AND IRON, AND HOW TO WORK IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND.
ALL THIS WAS VERY EARLY ON IN HUMAN HISTORY.
WE FINISH THIS CHAPTER WITH EVE HAVING ANOTHER SON TO REPLACE ABEL--- SETH. SETH HAD A SON ENOS, AND DURING HIS LIFE THERE WAS A MOVEMENT TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD [VERSE 25, 26].
CHAPTER 5
I WILL FOCUS ON ENOCH STARTING IN VERSE 21.
ENOCH WAS 65 WHEN HE BEGAT METHUSELAH. ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD AND BEGAT SONS AND DAUGHTERS [VERSES 21, 22].
NOTICE VERSE 23---- ALL THE DAYS OF ENOCH WERE 365 YEARS. ALL HIS DAYS!
HE WALKED WITH GOD, AND HE WAS NOT; FOR GOD TOOK HIM.
MOST BIBLE TEACHERS WILL TELL YOU ENOCH WENT TO HEAVEN...GOD TOOK HIM UP TO HEAVEN TO BE WITH HIM.
BY NOT READING THE ENTIRE BIBLE FOOLISH THEOLOGY EMERGES, THAT THE ATHEISTS AND AGNOSTICS CAN LACH ON TO AND RIDICULE THE BIBLE.
THIS VERSE DOES NOT SAY GOD TOOK ENOCH TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN. PEOPLE READ INTO THAT VERSE WHAT IS NOT THERE, AND THEY IGNORE OTHER PARTS OF THE BIBLE, THAT WOULD CONTRADICT THE IDEA OF ENOCH GOING TO HEAVEN.
JESUS CONTRADICTED ANY SUCH THEOLOGY---- SEE PLAINLY WHAT JESUS SAID IN JOHN 3: 13. AND HE SHOULD KNOW AS HE WAS FROM ETERNITY.
THEN PAUL WAS INSPIRED TO TELL US ENOCH DIED---- SEE IT IN THE FIRST PART OF HEBREWS--- PAUL MENTIONS ENOCH, AND THEN LATER SAID "ALL THESE DIED"------ SO WHERE DID ENOCH GO?
WE ARE NOT TOLD IN ANY SPECIFIC WAY. BUT GOD LOOK HIM SOMEWHERE, AS HE DID WITH ELIJAH CENTURIES LATER.
WE ARE INTRODUCED TO NOAH IN THIS CHAPTER, WHO WAS FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAT SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH [VERSE 32].
TIME FOR ME TO UPLOAD MY STUDDY CALLED "ARE ENOCH, MOSES, AND ELIJAH IN HEAVEN,"
