Hymn
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Charles Wesley
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.
Scripture Reading
Genesis 7:24; 8:1-22
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
…
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”

The Historical Facts Regarding the Flood and the Reason
▣ Introduction
The account of Noah’s flood includes specific details of date, place, and people, making it a historical record. Then why did God carry out such a fearsome work? Today, the three organizations have raised the Nephilim movement, conquering politics, the economy, and culture. Within this reality, the number of mental problems and afflictions is increasing, yet the church is unable to provide answers. We must understand the reason disasters inevitably come and convey that answer.
▣ Main
1. The cause of the age of the Nephilim (Genesis 6:4)
…1) Three backgrounds
……(1) Genesis 3:1-6
……(2) Genesis 6:1-20
……(3) Genesis 11:1-8
…2) Idol worship
……(1) Exodus 20:4–5 — Disasters come upon the third and fourth generations because of idol worship.
……(2) 1 Corinthians 10:20 — Idol worship is serving demons.
……(3) Colossians 3:5–6 — Greed is idol worship.
……(4) Revelation 14:9–12 — God’s wrath comes upon those who practice idol worship.
…3) Satan’s activity — The age of the Nephilim refers to an age completely dominated by Satan through idol worship. This is why disasters inevitably come.
…4) The reason for our mission and proclamation of the gospel — We must save those trapped in idol worship. God brings all answers when an evangelist who blocks the age of the Nephilim arises.
2. The age of corruption (Genesis 6:5)
…1) The world was filled with wickedness.
…2) The evil of mankind filled the earth, and every inclination of the human heart was only evil all the time.
…3) The earth had become corrupt, and all people on earth had corrupted their ways (Genesis 6:12).
…4) They did not repent even when the flood began (Genesis 7:7–10).
3. The incident of Noah’s flood as a model of hell
…1) Hell is the eternal prison prepared for the devil (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 14:9–10).
…2) What kind of people go to hell?
……(1) Those who follow the ways of the devil with unresolved sin.
……(2) Those who refuse God’s grace.
……(3) John 8:44
…3) What is hell? (Luke 16:19–31)
……(1) It is a place without God’s divine grace.
……(2) It is a place deprived even of common grace.
……(3) It is a place where no one can cross over; there is no fellowship.
▣ Conclusion: The three ages that block disasters (Genesis 8:20-22)
The account of Noah’s flood is a historically verifiable event with evidence. Jesus prophesied that His Second Coming would be like the days of Noah.
Therefore, all churches must restore the three courtyards that can block the age of disasters and open the age of the three-day weekend age to prevent disasters for future generations. You must also open the age of holy meditation to save the field with the power of the throne, surpassing the Nephilim summit.
