Genesis 6:5
5And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. (Genesis 6-11, King James Version)
Genesis 7:1-24
1And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
21creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. (Genesis 7, King James Version)
Genesis 8:1-22
1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 8, King James Version)Genesis 9:1-29
1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 8And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. 18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. (Genesis 9, King James Version)Genesis 10:1-30
1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. (Genesis 10, King James Version)Genesis 11:1-30
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another, "Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter."
4And they said, "Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 11And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 13And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30But Sarai was barren; she had no child. (Genesis 11, King James Version)

| Mark 13:14 - But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: |
In Genesis 9, many people equate this famous biblical passage with the spiritual and possibly actual relationship with a Gentile Priest and a Jewish Priest. Nevertheless, it always good to give an Olive Branch as a sign of peace. During the days of World War II, many times you would see a dove fly alone, and doves are meant to fly side by side with the opposite sex. A common tradition in my family, on my fathers side is to get to Dove's and release both at the end of the wedding symbolizing peace and good will toward all men now that there is a union between a man and a woman, that are directly out of the families of Noah.
In Genesis 10, Noah rises from being drunk and he knows that impulsively his son Ham, has not treated his nudity in the proper manner that a son should treat a father in this condition. So Noah commands a curse against the grandson of Ham, Canaan. Some sages believe the curse is issued against Ham because his childrens children would be very impulsive. Throughout the chapters of this Parsha you will see that the abomination of the desolation will cause the Temple, the house of God to be destroyed, not once but twice. During the Feast of Tabernacles, this descendant of Shem said, "The Joy of the LORD is your strength." (Ezra 8:10).

| Hanukkah begins on Dec. 2nd, 2010 |
Hanukkah is quickly approaching; Eve Hanukkah Day 1 is on; Friday, December 3rd. See our calendar page on yehudah.org.
Hanukkah is found in the first book of Maccabees, which is a part of the original Tanakh (Septuagint Canon). Thus Yehudim of Malkut Yehudah celebrates Hanukkah.
Out tradition is to use a single oil lamp and attempt to keep it burning for eight days (excluding the Sabbath) on a quart of olive oil. Then, on the eighth day we have our celebration with songs, gifts, sweets, meal etc…
You are your Judean tribal leader, and you can celebrate Hanukkah as you wish. Shalom Moshe Zadok
Also in the book of Genesis chapter ten through eleven tells of the Heroes that found Babel and much of the land of Nimrod. However, many people believe that the first language ever spoken was the language of Aramaic, and it is not w possible that there are other language that pose a obstacle to the main stream of the earths population to primarily speak Aramaic, such as English, Arabic, Greek, or Latin etc. Nevertheless, the descendants of Ham (black or burnt face) settled in Africa, the the Mesopotamian region and further east, which is evident in caves throughout Indo-China - the sine Region, in the far East Asia (the Sino as in Sinite). (Genesis 10:17; and 1st Chronicles 1:15) Although the Mother Eve is the first African woman of color to come forth into being that was not created and God did create her from the dust, from the rib of Adam. Likewise, many people say that the spiritual church is symbolically the same proto-type eve- created on the sixth day of creation to produce, bring into being, construct discover, shape, and design and she is made as a help to Adam. The Church of God, not the House of God can never replace the Temple in Jerusalem, thus the Church, like Eve is born from the blood and water that spilled down onto Calvary when Jesus was put on that rugged cross, on the hill of Golgotha. He's coming back, and it won't be a lamb, he will be the lion of Judah (Joshua 3:9-10).
The descendants from Eve, are known as the Hamites, Cushites, Mizraimites (Kemites), Phut, Canaanites, Babel and Babylonians, Assyrians were people that were "coal" black, definitely human African heritage, the kind of learning, wisdom and building. Nevertheless Nimrod is the founder of various Nations that are now conquered by Egyptian and Arabians from the South (Saudi). The crisis in the Psalm 66 historically illustrates the Assyrian crisis of 701 B.C. involving Sennacherib siege on Jerusalem, Zion, the Mount, City of God, the Eternal City of David etc. The siege of Jerusalem and King Hezekiah faithfulness to God and putting his trust in God, as his personal Deliverance. King Hezekiah received that divine intervention that he sought and this is the Deliverance of God, for the city of Jerusalem was spared (Standard Publishing, page 82; Isaiah 37:16-20). The praise and sacrifice offered by the King caused God to rescue His Chosen People.
Yet, when you need deliverance, remember the Heathens Do Rage (John 18:36), and this is no propaganda that the Second Temple was build after 516, from Babylonia captivity (Psalm 66:13). King David prophecied that every Nation would stand up and rage, roar... Therefore, I agree that this Haftorah can be applied to any deliverance the people of God experience in any circumstance, be it the Third Temple or reconciliation with your family, your Ultimate reconciliation is with God, after you are saved, submitted, anointed and converted -- this is the last and final plan to return to God. The word of God will manifest through the Holy Spirit in your life, in your house, the house of your immediate biological family, respectively. The word of God, is Christ Jesus, that will help you in your transformation to an audience of one, The True God (Isaiah 40:18). Your reconciliation to God, shall come to pass this saying is not a paraphrase or propaganda. The desire to love, obey, and observe God, is part of the transformation to reconciling your household, and you back to the One True God. The Mizpah, in going up to House of God and asked counsel of God, this too shall come to pass. (Revelations 19:6; Isaiah 66:6; and Romans 11:26-36). The believers of God are in the physical church. The other day, I spoke to a neighbor of mine and she did not think that the physical church is necessary... you know to gather to the saints. Well as the week progressed, I got really tired and was holding my calculator as if it was the television remote, but the thought that the church is not necessary to gather with the Saints of God is baseless, and is not Christian Scholarly (Hebrew 10:25). The believer has the power of God, to perform any mitzpah to diligently build your branch of the House of God. One day we'll all be together.
There are other notable people of Hamitic (Genesis 10:6-20) descendants that are also from Hagar (Genesis 16:1 and Genesis 21:9; Ephraim and Manasseh, sons of Joseph by Asenath, daughter of Poti-Pherah, the Egyptian Priest (Genesis 41:50-52). However, during the time of Moses, Amentop raided Assyria and made it a vassal state, prior to the Israelites occupying and settling into the land (M. Banks). This is the only website that will tell you how lovely and beautiful you are, and that Jesus is a Gentle Gentile Redeemer. (Isaiah 42).
However, in the eleventh chapter of Genesis, we read that Nahor is the grandfather of Abraham, and the father of Terah. Abraham was called away from his family. Abraham was called away from idol worship. However, Nahor was the last of the sons of God to live over a thousand and thirty-nine years. Terah was a native of the land of the Chaldeans (Babylon), he lived two hundred and the five years, and died in Haran. Terah, the father of Abraham left his native land and went into the land of Canaan (Genesis 11:24-32).
There are other notable people of Shemitic descent which is the king of Peace (Salem) known as the order of Melchizdek. There is much speculation that he is not of Shemitic origin but King David puts that to rest, when he declares that his descendant will be an eternal Priest forever on the throne of King David, in the eternal city of Jerusalem (Psalm 110:4). The Apostle Paul is the last Shemitic priest, to magnify his ministry amongst the Gentiles. (Hebrews 5:7-10; Hebrews 6:20; Hebrew 7:11, 17, Micah 6:6; Acts 16:17; Ruth 3:10; 2nd Samuel 2:5; Numbers 4:15-26; Numbers 23:19; and Matthew 11:25).
Later in the book of Genesis, Abram is blessed by the High Priest of the Most High God, Melchizdek. Abraham is also later transformed into Abraham, the father of Isaac, and also the father of many nations: He is the spiritual father of the Hamitic people. Abraham gives many people of faith the covenant of circumcision. I once was told by a Morman that only he could lay hands on me to give me the blessings of Abraham. "I then said to him, 'why I am already born into the line of Abraham,' how is it that you determine and lord over my biological birth right?" Sometimes religion can go a little too far and is very dangerous. Nevertheless, the Gospel came to pass, beginning with the power of God, the gospel beings with Abraham. Thank you to all who have purchased over eight billion copies of the Protestant Bible, King James Version. It also came to pass that Abraham is the father of Christianity with over two and half billion subscribes that Jesus is Lord, or atleast we like to think that everyone believes that Jesus is Lord. There will never be a Messiah. The Church of God belongs to Jesus (Mark 12:9-11). Thank God that Abraham transformed into the father of the Hamitics, and through Jesus you are a joint-heir of the Kingdom of God. It also came to pass that Abraham is the father of Christianity with over billions of Christians, still growing - and most importantly the crown jewel of the church, the believer (Romans 8:14-17). However the descendants of Aaron will have an honored house, and the Levites have the LORD Thy God as their portion (Numbers 18:20; Deuteronomy 10:9, Deuteronomy 18:1-2). King David will have a honored house, in the eternal city of Jerusalem. The following are a list of Shemitic priest, that are great prophets in Christianity:
- Noah, Genesis 6:13-22
- Abraham, Genesis 12:1-3
- Jacob, Genesis 28:12-15
- Moses, Exodus 3:1-22
- Gideon, Judges 6:11-23
- Samuel, Judges 6:11-23 (pending)
- Elijah, 1st Kings 17:2-14
- Elisha, 1st Kings 19:16-19
- Ezekiel, Ezekiel 2:3
- Jonah, Jonah 3:18-22
- Peter Andrew, James and John, Matthew 4:18-22
- Paul, Acts 9:1-19
- Description of God, Lord our Righteousness, Jeremiah 23:6
- Description of God, Lord Sabaoth, Isaiah 13:19 and Rom. 9:29
Last but not least the famous descendants from Shem that wrote the Bible are descended from the tribes, the seventy souls that accompany Jacob into Egypt, after the famine and money fails in the land of Egypt, and also in the land of Canaan.
Finally, the notable descendants of Shem are the thirteen tribes that inherit the land of Canaan, which include Joseph, Manassah and Ephraim; Dan; Zebulun; Judah; Simeon; Reuben, who forfeited his firstborn rights because he went with his forefather handmaid and caused Joseph to be sold by the Ishmael; Benjamin; Gad; Naphtali; Asher; and Issachar (Deuteronomy 33:6-29; and Revelations 7:3-8). The House of Jacob is Israel. Although the tribe of Levi does not Inherit any of the land because the tribe did not sell their land during the famine, so technically their land (Hebron) is theirs to this date. Nevertheless the descendants of Aaron will have an honored house, and House of David will have an honored house, this is the main reason that I also take the last supper of Christ during the Passover, so that Kingdom will be fulfilled. (Psalm 118:3; Deuteronomy 10:9 and Deuteronomy 18:1-2).
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”’ (Ezekiel 38, New King James Version)

The wonderful illustration Christ left the world is the parable of the fig tree. Your faith will bring into fruition the anointing that shall come to pass on behalf of you from God against your enemies, as in the book of of wars of Jehovah, when he moved the mountains (offenses). (Numbers 21:14). Faith is as simple a fig tree, never look at anything and be tricked or coaxed into thinking that a person bears fruit, neither a tree. The prophet Jeremiah prophecies ON THAT GREAT DAY the descendants of Ham, that will repay each for their sinful and wicked deeds by the works of their hands. (Jeremiah 25:14). (Luke 14:12-14). The prophet Jeremiah spoke about the fig tree, by the "4Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
6For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart (Jeremiah 24:4-7)."
In the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke, 6He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.7Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
The prophet in the book of Judges 9:7-15, 7And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, "Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you. 8The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 9But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 10And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. 11But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 12Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 13And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?14Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.15And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Lastly, in the previous Memorial Parsha, God tells Cain that he must reign over his sin to please God. You can not please God with your own choices and desires. Likewise, the church must remain engrafted in the word because Jesus is the vine, and you are the Eve in Adam's apple. (Genesis 3:6-7. (Genesis 4:5-7). Just like Eve, the new Adam, Jesus Christ gives us the power of the HOly Spirit to justify our deeds as works of Grace, from God and we don't have to run behind a fig leaf, we can curse that fig tree if the tree does not bear eternal fruit. (Galatians 5:22-23).
Jesus said at the very least h e would go to the mountains (Jerusalem) to seek the lost sheep (Matthew 18:12). The believer (church) that does not remain int he Jesus, will be destroyed by their sin. Your sin, the evil work of your hands will not give you a chance to go hide behind the fig tree. Thank God for his goodness, His Son, that we have the sacrifices of mirth for gladness. (Nehemiah 8:12) (Ecclesiastes 8:15; Ecclesiastes10:7) (Luke 13:1).
In closing, I say to you that it shall come to pass that the believer will bear the fruits of the vine: the voice, mirth (gladness); the bridgegroom; the bride (church) and the sound of millstones (Luke 17:2); and the light of the lamp.

• Great Flood Begins (2105 BCE)
The rains began to fall on the 17th of Cheshvan of the year 1656 from creation (2105), flooding the earth and rising above the highest mountains. Only Noah and his family survived, in the ark built to that end by Divine command, and a pair of each animal species, who entered with him into the ark.
The following is a chronology of the Flood, as indicated by the dates and time periods given in the Torah's account and calculated by Rashi:
Cheshvan 17: Noah enters ark; rains begin.
Kislev 27: Forty days of rain end; begin 150 days of water's swelling and churning, during which the water reaches a height of 15 cubits above the mountain peaks.
Sivan 1: Water calms and begins to subside at the rate of one cubit every four days.
Sivan 17: The bottom of the ark, submerged 11 cubits beneath the surface, touches down on the top of Mount Ararat.
Av 1: The mountain peaks break the water's surface.
Elul 10:Forty days after the mountain peaks become visible, Noah opens the ark's window and dispatches a raven.
Elul 17: Noah sends the dove for the first time.
Elul 23: The dove is sent a second time, and returns with an olive leaf in its beak.
Tishrei 1: Dove's third mission. Water completely drained.
Cheshvan 27: Ground fully dried. Noah exits ark.
(This chronology follows the opinion of the Talmudic sage Rabbi Eliezer; according to Rabbi Joshua's interpretation, the Flood began on Iyar 17, and all above dates should be moved ahead six months.)
Total time that Noah spent in the ark: 365 days (one solar year; one year and 11 days on the lunar calendar).

• Flood ends (2104 BCE)
On the 27th of Cheshvan of the year 1657 from creation (2104 BCE) "the earth dried" (Genesis 8:14) completing the 365-day duration of the great flood that wiped out all life on earth save for the eight human beings and and the animals (two of each species) in Noah's ark; on this day G-d commanded Noah to "Come out of the ark" and repopulate, settle and civilize the earth.
