Genesis 6:5-8,7:1-5,10 ~ as the LORD had commanded

 

Genesis 6:5-8,7:1-5,10

When the LORD saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth,

and how no desire that his heart conceived

was ever anything but evil,

he regretted that he had made man on the earth,

and his heart was grieved.

So the LORD said:

“I will wipe out from the earth the men whom I have created,

and not only the men,

but also the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air,

for I am sorry that I made them.”

But Noah found favor with the LORD.

Then the LORD said to Noah:

“Go into the ark, you and all your household,

for you alone in this age have I found to be truly just.

Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs,

a male and its mate;

and of the unclean animals, one pair,

a male and its mate;

likewise, of every clean bird of the air, seven pairs,

a male and a female,

and of all the unclean birds, one pair,

a male and a female.

Thus you will keep their issue alive over all the earth.

Seven days from now I will bring rain down on the earth

for forty days and forty nights,

and so I will wipe out from the surface of the earth

every moving creature that I have made.”

Noah did just as the LORD had commanded him.

As soon as the seven days were over,

the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

Psalm 29

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 29

1a, 2, 3ac-4, 3b and 9c-10

R.      The Lord 

Will Bless His People with Peace.

Give to the LORD, you sons of God,

    give to the LORD glory and praise,

Give to the LORD the Glory due His Name

    adore the LORD 

in holy attire. 

R.   The Lord

The Voice of the LORD is over the waters,

    the LORD, over vast waters.

The Voice of the LORD is mighty;

    The Voice of the LORD is majestic. 

R.   The Lord 

Will Bless His People with Peace.

The God of glory thunders,

    and in His Temple all say, 

“Glory!”

The LORD 

is enthroned 

above the flood

    The LORD 

is enthroned 

as King 

forever. 

 The Lord 

Will 

Bless His People 

with Peace.

People really do tend to get very upset about Noah's Ark.

Nebuchadnezzar honored the faith of Jehovah and gave Ezekiel a house - that the captives might continue to gather and honor God. Nebuchadnezzar said the exiles, not slaves anymore, would one day return to a redeemed Israel. 

Nebuchadnezzar saw Noah and Babylonian Gilgamesh Flood story as the same.








When God says we worship Him in Spirit and Truth, He is talking about a vast Universe and Histories we only today see glimpses of. God is reaching out not to just us, but to the millenniums and cultures of the world.

Nebuchadnezzar honored the Lord. And the Babylonian Chronicles in museums today tell us exactly the same History the Bible tells us of the Exile in Babylon.

We mature and do not wail about the end of our lives... eventually. 

We do not wail and protest the Exodus.  And more history as the years progress provide written evidence when the Word of God matches archaeological finds.

Genesis 45:1-15 ~ I will provide for you

We do not protest the Angels arrive to give Good News. Fearful enough angels, prompting the phrase, “Fear Not!”

But we do not protest the Revelation. 

The Book of Revelation is two tiered. This is a discussion of the end of the planet, we know will happen... eventually.  And it is a discussion of the end of our lives, individually. The process of grief in our lives. The Book of Revelation is God's Love facing a violent end to His beloved people who chose violence or harm. God's process of grief in His Eternal Life.  People do not protest the idea there is an Angel of Death. Or God's Messengers of Death. Catholics pray every Sunday, “Be with us now and at the hour of our death.”

We do not protest The Kingdom of God, Heaven, is a new place of the Living. After death has inevitably occurred. 

We pray The Lord's Prayer and allow God's Good Will. 

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done. 

On earth as it is in Heaven.  

And we rejoice. 

We don't even protest the new knowledge that autopsies do not reveal why the younger generation is passing away with sudden death.

When we believe God sorts the good from the evil to enter His Kingdom with full knowledge, full heart and Love, we believe God's Will is Orderly. 

According to the Word of God, God has a Plan, and it is Good for each of us. Or to the Collective and Good Body of God's Children.

Those Terrible People Who Protest God in the business of Death???

Who protests when God decides someone will enter Heaven... quickly.  Or just in His Plan that is now revealed.

2 Samuel 6

5 And David 

and all the house of Israel 

were celebrating before the Lord, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. 

6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, 

Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God. 

8 And David

 was angry 

because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. 

9 And David 

was afraid of the Lord that day, 

and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 

10 So David was not willing to take the ark of the Lord into the city of David. But David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11 And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. 

 12 And it was told King David, 

“The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” 

So 

David went and brought up the Ark of God

 from the house of Obed-edom 

to the city of David

 with 

rejoicing.

Who did not Protest?

Uzzah.

Luke 8:44

 

She came up behind Him 

and touched the fringe of His garment, 

and immediately her discharge of blood ceased.

48 And HE said, 

“Your faith has made you well; 

go in peace.”

Does 

Uzzah 

Love The Lord?

1 Corinthians 2:9 

As it is written, 

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, 

nor the heart of man imagined, 

what God has prepared 

for those 

who love Him”—

The oil of gladness instead of mourning

   The garment of praise 

instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called 

Oaks of Righteousness

    The planting of the Lord, 

that He may be glorified.

They shall build up the ancient ruins;

    they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities

    The devastations of many generations.

Abba, Father!

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

to become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Do all the Good

God puts 

forth

for you to do

WE PRAY

for

THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL

To be 

the Voice

of LOVE

Joy, Peace, Patience,

Goodness,

Faithfulness,

gentleness

and

SELF CONTROL

And ask You

for appropriate leadership.

Worldwide leaders

condemned the erratic and unfaithful Sermon

given by Bishop Budde.

In 2020, Budde chastised President Trump

for saving St John Church from arson and holding up a Bible.

Saying he was unkind to the homeless in the Peaceful Protests.

Peaceful Protests.  

And now, chastised for stopping gender

surgeries upon children.

Let's pray

for the departure

of what

 is not

good.

Worldwide leaders said, 

"The Sermon represents a church

not led by Jesus Christ and His Teachings

and Word. 

A broken down

liberal refuge institution seeking only donations."

We pray the Blessing

of Growth

upon the Church

Proclaiming

The Entire Word of God

and the 

Growing Portion

of the Episcopal Church.

The safety 

of those

helping the earth 

to heal.

Let evil and practicing evil

depart 

far 

from us

and our children.

Gentle rain for California

without more mud slides

putting out the fires

speedy insurance

claims

and fast rebuilding

realizing the standard building codes

even of Reagan

were safe.

Peace

And the healing

of Pope Francis

and soon,

in the Name of Jesus.

Upon

ALL

of

God's

Churches.
