Is this suggestion mere fantasy? Of course it is. But how often do we think and act as though we wished for such a flood? To hear us talk at times, you would think we could easily eliminate everyone but ourselves and our kind. Several centuries ago, God placed a rainbow in the sky to remind us that there would never again be such a flood. He does not plan to start over with our kind of folk or anybody's kind of folk. We have to learn to live with who is here. God has allowed a lot of diversity to evolve. He shares His love with a multitude of nations, kindred and tongues. He sent His Son into the world to invite everyone onto the ark. The mentality which would eliminate or subdue those who are different is not from God. We are not given the option of picking and choosing those who should survive. We are called to join a remnant of folk who have a world vision. Our task is to join Jesus in a redemptive attitude toward all people without regard to race or gender or creed. No, there is not going to be another great flood to drown the undesirables. We best be grateful, too, because we might have to join those being washed away. |
If you were Noah and there was going to be a flood, who would you choose to live with you on the ark? It would be a great opportunity to preserve your kind of people and eliminate those who are undesirable. You could create your own super race as you allowed inferior folk to drown. You could exclude those folk who do not think and act your way. If your choice of skin color could prevail, strange cultures would be destroyed. People whose sinful lifestyle is distasteful to you could be left behind, while people with more respectable iniquities could survive. You could eliminate the other religions of the world and have only one. In fact, you could be a kind of pope dictating what everyone should believe. It would be your chance to have everything the way you want it with the control you often desire.[Click Here] for an index of all available article clippings.
