God’s Spirit Shall Not Abide in Man Forever

God’s Spirit Shall Not Abide in Man Forever

Excerpt
In Genesis 6:3 a question arises. Evil mortals were striving with God, yet at the same time, their lives were sustained by God alone. Why did God allow such enemies to continue existing? In answer, note that the meaning of the name Israel is “the one who strives with God.” Even Israel (Jacob) and the Israelites, God’s chosen people, often questioned God’s will. If God destroyed all those who resisted his will, all people would soon be destroyed as they were in the flood. In contrast, Noah was one man who followed God’s will totally. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
