Introduction

Good day, everyone. Let us turn to Genesis Chapter 7. You may read it casually, but if we delve a little deeper, it is truly a tragedy of humanity. To what extent? If there were five billion people on earth in that generation, only eight survived; all the rest perished. Can you imagine? Noah was in the ark, and the floodwaters had bloated and decomposed the bodies of those who had died, floating on the surface, a dense mass of corpses. It is hard to imagine what a tragedy it was. I also do not know if the ark Noah built was ventilated. If it was, the stench of the corpses would have been unbearable, as they would have been decaying for one hundred and fifty days.

This reminds us that Noah's family seemed quite selfish, not bringing more people into the ark with them. Noah probably did not do that; if he had, it would have been recorded in the Bible. But God did not instruct him to bring more people in, to show some love. But is that love? I have not read in the Bible that Noah dragged people into the ark, nor have I seen Jesus drag people into the kingdom of heaven, nor have I seen the Apostle Paul pull people into the church. Interesting, isn't it? Some may think, isn't it God's will that all should be saved? God, aren't you being too harsh?

I tell you, only the righteous and all that belong to them are saved. Do not bring the wicked into God's kingdom. The Bible does not say to do that. So, the theme of this chapter is: Only the righteous and all that belong to them are saved. Not one of the righteous's possessions will be left behind. Even if Noah's sons were not exemplary, they entered the ark because they were Noah's sons. But if you do not want to enter, Noah will not drag you in. If Noah's son had this attitude: "I do not want to enter, Dad. Bye-bye. I am not going in. I still have to invest in real estate and speculate in stocks. You go into the ark; I am going to drink with my friends." Noah would not have dragged him in either.

Have you noticed how interesting this is? Later, I also developed the habit of not dragging people. If some people want to leave the church, let them leave. I will not even make a phone call. Those who are willing to follow me, follow me. Those who are not willing to follow me, let them do whatever they want. This logic of mine is completely different from that of the evangelicals. You must know which has a solid foundation.

Noah's building of the ark became a major local news story. Noah built one level of the ark, and there were many more levels, like an aircraft carrier. His skills were not great, and he built for one hundred and twenty years. He applied rosin and did other things, busying himself tirelessly. People asked him, "What are you doing? How will you launch this ship after you build it? Will you push it from the mountaintop to the sea?" He said, "No, I am not pushing it to the sea. The water will rise to the top of this mountain." The water will reach the top of this mountain? This baffled everyone. Everyone thought, "He is finished. He has gone mad. How did a good person become like this?"

When have you ever seen someone building an aircraft carrier on Mount Tai? How will you transport it to the sea after it is built? When have you ever seen someone building an aircraft carrier on the Himalayas? What will you do after it is built? Such a heavy thing, tens of thousands of tons, must be madness! When Noah finished one level, he held a preaching meeting on the ark, shouting again and again: "This generation has one hundred and twenty years left!" After twenty years, he shouted again: "There are one hundred years left!" After another twenty years, he shouted again: "This generation has eighty years left!" After another twenty years, he shouted again: "This generation has sixty years left!" By this time, the ark was built halfway up. Later, when it was almost time to seal the top, with ten years left until the ark was completed, Noah stood on the very top of the ark and shouted: "This generation has ten years left!" Everyone thought Noah was mad, how did a good person become foolish?

Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is but flesh; his days shall be 120 years.” (Genesis 6:3)

For these one hundred and twenty years, Noah was doing live broadcasts every day, but he did not attract a single follower. The audience at a stand-up comedy show applauds thunderously, but Noah's live broadcasts had no one! Not only no one, but everyone who came criticized him. He attracted only trolls, and Noah was trolled for one hundred and twenty years. On the seventh day before the flood, Noah was still doing live broadcasts, which was truly a marvelous sight. Many people surrounded the ark to watch the spectacle. There were lions, tigers, wolves, leopards, elephants, etc. All living creatures lined up from the mountains to Noah's doorstep. Noah said, "Line up, do not cut in line!" What a magnificent sight! Noah said, "Seven days left!" Just like the countdown before, one hundred years, eighty years, sixty years.

Those people were dumbfounded. What was happening? Had Noah gone mad? How did even the elephants, lions, and tigers go mad with Noah? Was he opening a zoo? The sky was so blue, the sun was so bright, what was Noah going in there for? The door closed, and Noah did a live broadcast inside the ark. The people outside shouted, "He is finished. He built a pyramid. Let us see in a few days if he has become a mummy."

On the seventh day, the heavy rain came. The water slowly rose from the foot of the mountain. People living in villas one hundred meters from the sea began to move. But as these people moved around, they found that the water was rising, so they continued to move to higher ground, running up the mountain. People go to higher places, water flows to lower places. As a result, the water rose around the ark, and the surrounding area was full of water, constantly rising. The people outside the ark began to remember Noah's words and realized that what Noah said was true. Then they went to knock on the door of the ark, asking Noah to open the door. No one opened the door; it could not be opened! Noah said from inside, "I really want to open the door for you, but I cannot. This door was closed by God."

Although the ark could not be opened, many people clung tightly to the ark, wanting to grab onto something. Some were regretting, "Why did I not bring a hammer and nails? If I had brought nails, I would have nailed them into the ark, tied a rope to the nails, and fastened it to my belt, with a safety harness." But that would have been useless. Why? You would have been outside the ark for one hundred and fifty days. I think that would have been quite difficult.

Have you read "The Old Man and the Sea"? If you have, you would know that even if there was a large nail connecting a rope to tie yourself up, sharks would swim over. There was a circle of people around the ark, and sharks would have chewed them all into skeletons. Perhaps not even skeletons would have been left; they would have been swallowed alive. Inside the ark and outside the ark were two different worlds. I am now talking about the outside of the ark.

Let me tell you more about the people inside the ark. These people were amazing! Why were they amazing? Because God told Noah that these living creatures were to be brought into the ark in pairs, male and female. Noah was not confused. I tell you, what man cannot do does not mean God cannot do. What man cannot do, but we know that God can do, is called humility. If man thinks that he cannot do it, and no one else can do it, not even God, that is called arrogance. Do you think you are the world standard? Forget it! Those outside are finished. Those who should float are floating, those who should be eaten by fish are being eaten. There are also many scavengers in the water that can eat these corpses. The battle outside is over.

Believing in God Makes One Righteous

Let us talk about what Noah was thinking. Noah's belief system was very clear: only the righteous and all that belong to them are saved. But today, it is difficult for everyone to understand what it means to be righteous. Noah was building this ark every day for one hundred and twenty years. He thought about it, and this business model did not seem to work. Those investors, those who held capital in their hands, said, "This thing has no value." Then many withdrew their capital. Those who originally wanted to invest in Noah did not invest, saying that Noah had gone mad. Many withdrew their investment, saying that Noah's could not be invested in, his stocks could not be bought! He is doing such a foolish thing; he is finished!

Capital left Noah. What did Noah do? He faced economic problems. No one would lend him money, and no one would invest in him. That generation was very interesting. Noah endured for ten years, and the GDP fell to the bottom. After another ten years, no one invested. After another ten years, no one invested. He could not raise funds. How did Noah live? Noah's GDP must have been terrible. But fortunately, Noah's GDP was God, Noah's capital was God, Noah's investor was God. In the eyes of people, there was buying and selling, planting and building, marrying and giving in marriage. This was the state of Noah's time. When the flood came, everything was gone, and only Noah's family was saved.

So, what is belief? It is that even when capital has been withdrawn, Noah still builds the ark. He believes in God. Without belief, he cannot do the right thing. And when God commanded him, he did not say, "God, did I hear you wrong?" He did not say such things! Today, we must know that when you encounter some adversity and difficulties, when you encounter a situation where you do not have enough money, when you encounter all kinds of situations, you will say, "God, why is this happening?" How do I know that Noah was in such a situation? Because that is how God works. Your faith is not called faith until it has been tested. That is to say, those who believe in God are righteous.

When you face negative economic growth, face the withdrawal of capital, face the stock market falling to the bottom, a lot of economic forecasts, the ridicule of people, and a lot of trolls, people predict that Noah's family is completely finished. Do you know what Noah did? He still believed. How do I know this? This is what I am saying. The Bible does not say. Because Abraham believed in God, when did he believe in God? It was when he arrived in the land of Canaan that God said to him, "This land is given to you." As a result, he encountered a famine. After Abraham encountered a famine, he still trusted in God.

Was Noah's building of the ark smooth sailing? It was definitely not smooth sailing. He would definitely face ridicule. Our brothers and sisters must know that when I built the church, I wanted the good and did not want the bad. If you do not believe, do whatever you want! You come here to be healed, and after you are healed, do whatever you want! To this day, I still have this attitude. I know what is precious and what is garbage. I will not bring garbage into the kingdom of God. What am I going to do with garbage in the kingdom of God? I will not even invest in them.

So, brothers and sisters, we must gradually know that my attitude is to pick only the good. I ask you, is my approach more in line with the Bible, or is their approach more in line with the Bible? They like to pull people into the church. Pastors call them to come to dinner, and they even make demands, and the pastors humbly agree. I do not do that. If you want to expect such a pastor here, there is none. Your district leaders are not such people either, because they were all taught by me. Do not even think about it.

Why? Because I only pick treasures. If you encounter a little difficulty and do not believe, what do I want you for? Everyone must understand this principle. Some people say, "If there is no place for me here, there will be a place for me elsewhere." That is right. You are the master, and I am the servant. OK! Agreement reached. You be your master, and I will be my servant. It does not matter! I want to be God's son in God's eyes. I will not even be a servant. I want to say, brothers and sisters, do not pull garbage into the church. Some people, I admire them, have no pursuit of God's word. Some people give them money to pull people in, comfort them, pastor them, understand them, and be considerate of them. They follow you, but for money. Is this in line with the Bible?

Did Noah give people money to let them into the ark? No! Those who want to perish, perish. Those who want to die, die. Those who want to live, live. Those who want to follow me on the path of faith, let us walk the path of faith. Those who do not want to believe, do not believe. What relationship is there between belief and unbelief? So, brothers and sisters, you must know that those who believe are righteous, and those who do not believe are wicked! If you come to listen to Bible study as if it is a burden, then you should not come at all. Coming to Bible study to understand the problems of life is because of human ignorance, and then it becomes your burden. Do you not find it strange?

There is a church in Singapore that gives migrant workers red envelopes every seven years. People do come, but what do they come for? I do not know what they come for. I used to do that too, but later I stopped. I suddenly understood. So, brothers and sisters, can you be a person with pursuit? You must know that if you do not believe, you are wicked. If you believe, you are righteous. If you do not believe, you will enter into destruction. If you believe, you will be saved. God only saves the righteous. Those who believe are righteous. It does not matter if you think you are not good enough, but do not think that God is not good enough either. If you think that God is not good enough either, then there is trouble.

Those Who Believe Have Miracles

On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in. (Genesis 7:13-16)

What is a miracle? God's work is called a miracle. A person who believes will surely have signs and wonders following him. In that generation, Noah was amazing! As soon as he spoke, the elephants, lions, tigers, and hunting dogs were all obedient. Noah told them to line up, and they all lined up. Even the animals that entered the ark with Noah were stronger than those who died. If people do not believe, what is it if not destruction?

But why is it so difficult to believe? Everyone saw that in that generation, thousands of kinds of animals were lining up, lined up for more than ten kilometers! It had become a spectacle. The locals listened to Noah's live broadcasts, but he did not become an internet celebrity. He had no fans! Even though it had become like that, they still did not believe. If I were in that generation and saw this, I would definitely think, "This guy has God!" I would buy a ticket. You do not need to give me money, and you do not need to persuade me. I want to go in. Noah said, "God did not let you in!" It does not matter. Let us quickly ask God. If there was such a person, what would happen? God would let him enter the ark. You ask me how I know? I have biblical basis.

But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.” So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, so that the wall fell down flat. And the people went up into the city, each straight ahead, and they captured the city. Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword. (Joshua 6:19-21)

There was such a person named Rahab. She was the great-grandmother of King David. Rahab was in the city of Jericho at that time. Not a blade of grass was left in the city. As long as there was breathing, everyone was to be killed cleanly, because this was God's command to the Israelites. As a result, there was such a person in the city of Jericho named Rahab. She was calling out to God there. Rahab knew the God of the Israelites and the history of Israel like the back of her hand. God moved Joshua to send two spies into the city to save Rahab's family.

In fact, Joshua was hesitant to send two spies into the city to scout. It was Rahab's faith that moved God. God stirred up Joshua to send two spies. Because thirty-eight years ago, twelve spies were sent, and they reported back, and as a result, they wandered in the wilderness for another thirty-eight years, plus the two years of leaving Egypt, a total of forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Do you think Joshua was not hesitant? He was definitely hesitant. But because Rahab had this faith, a miracle happened. The spies came and saved Rahab's family.

Rahab was a person of faith. Even if you are among the perishing, as long as you are a person of faith, you will still be saved. Do not be a wicked person. Those who believe in God are righteous, and those who do not believe in God are wicked. If you do not believe, studying the Bible is like slaughtering a pig, doing homework is like slaughtering a pig, willingly doing electrotherapy and chemotherapy, reading a little of God's word, and you feel tired, without energy! You have energy to do electrotherapy and chemotherapy, but no energy to read God's word. But man does not live by chemotherapy and electrotherapy, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Those who believe have signs and wonders following you every day. The miracles that God has performed through my hands, you definitely will not believe if I tell you, because there are too many. I have shared with you my mother's experience. Once, she was about to go to dinner, and when she turned around, her mouth was crooked, saliva was flowing, and her whole body was curled up. Some people still do not believe that I healed my mother's Alzheimer's disease. I released her for about twenty minutes, and nothing happened. Then we continued to go to dinner. After getting in the car for less than five minutes, the demon came again. This demon is quite capable! I stopped the car and knocked the demon down again. The people who went to dinner with me said, "What should we do?" I said, "What should we do? Let us go eat!" My mother was about to have a stroke in the first half hour, and in the second half hour, she ate a plate of rice, and nothing happened. These are all demons. Do you think ordinary people can do what I do? They cannot.

Once, someone came to me with three broken bones on the back of her foot, with a cast and gauze. I said, "Take it off!" Of course, I am bold, and that person had great faith. After taking it off, she began to practice walking, praying and walking at the same time. The swelling disappeared, and nothing happened. Then she bought a pair of shoes and went home, because she only came with one shoe, and the other one could not wear a shoe and was wrapped in gauze. A few days later, she went to the hospital. The doctor took an X-ray and asked her, "How did you come?" She said, "I walked here!" The doctor was surprised: "How can you walk? Show me again!" She walked again.

The doctor looked at the film. The bones were broken, but she could walk. It was God's Spirit dragging the broken bones. These are all the things I do. I like to perform miracles, because I am a person who believes in God. Those who trust in God will surely have miracles. Noah was like this. Noah performed miracles every day. How do I know? The Bible does not say, but if a person has faith, God will surely do wonderful work in him. No capital is needed, and no capitalists are needed, only God is needed.

With God, you have everything. Is life not very simple? Then, each according to its kind, orderly and properly. I want to tell you that these animals are so orderly and properly, which is a miracle in itself. Is Noah a tamer? If he had tamed them all one by one, he would not have been able to build the ark. But with God, many problems are solved. Brothers and sisters must be people who trust in God, must be people who perform miracles, must be people who trample on the devil and the enemy. When you start to trample on the devil and the enemy, you will find that the authority in your hands is very effective.

Stroke is a demon, cerebral infarction is a demon, myocardial infarction is also a demon, all are demons. It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is no help at all. So, it is easy to deal with when the Spirit is in a person. Some people think, "Oh, living creatures are entering the ark, let us get some white ants, and white ants specialize in eating wood. Will they not eat the ark?" But when white ants came to Noah, they did not eat the ark. Do you understand? Can God not even control an insect? You have to turn your head around. Why do you have to turn your head around? Because we always think that this is how things are. In fact, once there is God, it is different. You think this way according to human thinking, but with God, any problem can be solved.

Those Who Believe Are Saved

Only Noah's family was righteous, people who believed in God. No matter what the environment, he believed in God. He also often experienced miracles, making it difficult for him not to believe! But in that generation, no matter how many miracles Noah performed, those people just did not believe. Anyway, I admire them. Those who believe are saved. Noah went in seven days early and stayed in the ark. Some people thought, "The sunshine outside is very good!" As a result, on the seventh day, the rain came, extremely heavy, and then everyone understood.

But what about the first seven days? That was a struggle of faith. Noah could not go out either. The door of the ark was closed. The people outside were celebrating this and celebrating that. There were funerals, weddings, and celebrations of the hundredth day of a baby's birth, etc. Noah looked out through the window of the ark. "These people are living very lively lives! What am I doing coming to the ark so early? What if I suffocate to death in the ark?" And the water was there for a total of one hundred and fifty days. How would the water go down? When will we be able to leave the ark in the future? When will it end? We will still be staying in the ark for one hundred and fifty days.

Some people were quarantined in hotels because of the COVID-19 pandemic and went crazy, running around with pillows. Everyone should slowly learn from me. It does not matter if I stay in the house for one day, and it does not matter if I stay for two days. What am I doing? I am writing software, I am writing books. I have too many things to do. I have no time to go out for a walk. Some people are quarantined and almost go crazy, but they slowly get used to being quarantined and do not go crazy anymore.

Noah was quarantined in the ark for one hundred and fifty days. The ark was filled with the smell of a zoo. He was very busy, removing feces today and removing feces tomorrow. Cleaning this today and cleaning that tomorrow. The ark was very smelly, after all, it was full of animals. Those who believe did not curse in this environment. Some people entered the ark, and they would not be able to make it after thirty days, let alone one hundred and fifty days. People would be confused.

Whether people have faith in God can be seen at this time. Those who have faith must be calm and stable. Will they not become mummies in the ark? When will the water go down? Let us ask a very scientific question. Where will all this water flow? The whole earth is covered with water. If there is a little science, it will be troublesome. Once you use science, you will lose faith. Where will the water flow? The water from the sky has come down, and even Mount Everest has been submerged. The general area is still eight thousand meters below sea level. Think about where the water will flow. Can God not solve this problem? So, if people do not trust in God, many problems will be troublesome. People must know that if they use science but do not use faith, they cannot use science with faith. If you use science to explain what I do, you cannot explain it. If you use what I do to explain science, it does not seem very scientific.

The Unbelieving Are the Wicked

Never think that you can persuade the unbelieving to believe. Did Jesus persuade people to believe? Belief and unbelief are a person's choice. From now on, do not proselytize. Believe it or not, it is your responsibility, your choice. Believe and live, disbelieve and live. But you must know that those who believe are the righteous, and those who do not believe are the wicked. Those who believe are saved, and those who do not believe will bring destruction upon themselves. Argue with God until the end, but decide whether you want to be wicked or righteous. The whole family of the righteous is saved.

Because Noah was a righteous man, his wife, three sons, and three daughters-in-law were all saved. His three sons and three daughters-in-law cannot be considered righteous. Some people ask, what about Noah's father? His father died. I have calculated that when Noah was six hundred years old, his father and grandfather were no longer alive. The previous chapters tell how old his father lived; a simple calculation shows that his father and grandfather were gone. Except for Noah, the rest were all wicked. Except for Noah, the wicked of that generation were all swept away by the flood. Some say that God killed His own people. It sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?

So, brothers and sisters, if you are willing to choose to believe well, then walk the path of belief. If you want to believe something else, then believe something else. You might say that Noah and his family were not loving, or that God is not loving. No! God saves the righteous, and the wicked are all swept away by the flood. Because the logic in their entire minds is to live for themselves; anything that affects their living is unacceptable.

The Unbelieving Are Destroyed

God really does not care about one more or one less death. Life and death are personal choices, your own choices. I despise those who do not believe, and I am too lazy to persuade you to believe. That is not my job. What is my job? I am not Santa Claus, giving out gifts. My job is not to have pity on these wicked people. My job is to build God's glorious church, to bring those who trust in God into His kingdom. I cast a net, pick out the good ones into vessels, and give them to God. The bad ones I discard to the old horse (老马).

Old horse and I have different roles. The unbelieving are all destroyed. You must know for sure that God really did not care about having that generation of people swept away by the flood. In the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, God sent fire to destroy those two cities. So what if He burned them? They were going to die sooner or later anyway. If God didn't burn them, they would burn themselves. Today, after listening to my sharing and reading Genesis chapter 7, you must choose what kind of person you want to be. Do not build your hope on money, nor on the persuasion of others. Whether you choose for yourself matters. If you choose, will the situation be different?

Why does a person want to be wicked? Why does a person want to be an unbeliever? Why not be a believer? The logical system within a person, if it is based on this life, is all unbelief. If it is based on eternal life, it is all belief. If a person pursues only the things of this life, they cannot believe and cannot walk this path of belief. It will be the same when Jesus comes again.

When Jesus comes again, do not think that our Lord Jesus is Santa Claus. In fact, He will rule this dark world with an iron rod. He will pour out His wrath on this world. If you read Revelation, you will understand that opening the seven seals is bad enough, blowing the seven trumpets is even worse, and then pouring out the seven bowls will make it impossible to live on this earth. Our God both sends disaster and saves. So the days of the return of the Lord Jesus will be like the days of Noah.

We go everywhere testifying to brothers and sisters. Those who are willing to believe, let us walk this path of salvation together, where not only are the matters of life resolved, but also the matters of eternity. The days of Jesus' return are near, and no one can hide. Take a lighter view of living, and a heavier view of eternal life. Look further ahead. We must think big, and not be narrow-minded like a peanut, with a brain like a walnut. If you say that you were born a narrow-minded person, that is fine too. God created many vessels of wrath to display His anger.

May God bless everyone!
