Did God see that man was evil?
No! Man never has been evil. God
saw that the imaginations of his
heart were evil. The imagination of
man’s heart is evil from his youth
because of his youth.
[Gen. 6:5-7]
The flood is coming to each one of us
every moment. It is the flood of light
and Truth. It is going to wash away the
darkness of my ignorance, it is going to
show me myself in God’s image and
likeness.
[Gen 7:21,22]
“All flesh perish from the
earth,” the thought of the un-Godly
will perish in the flesh. Everything that
moves upon the earth shall be destroyed,
everything that is low in its
tendency.
The “dry and thirsty
land”; the place where God is not
recognized. Every thought which was
resting in that place where God is not
recognized was to be washed away in the
flood.
Ark: consciousness of our true
Being, safety.
Windows of heaven: eyes of the
soul opened.
Waters: possibilities.
Flood: fuller realization,
washed away every conception, purified
thought.
Noah waited forty days.
Birds sent out: perfect
thoughts.
Mountains: high visions.
Rainbow of promise: represents
law and order in nature, a symbol of
God’s promise.
Noah stayed in the ark until God
commanded [106] him to go forth and let
his light shine; his first act was to
build an altar to the Lord and offer
sacrifice, then he received God’s
promise and God’s
“promise” is
law.
