Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Drinking, Drank and Drunk

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And 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. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.-Genesis 9:18-29***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that people were living far distances from one another before the flood of waters that the Lord God brought upon the earth for 40 days and nights. Cain and Abel were 2 of the sons born to Adam and Eve. The Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed  Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. After Cain killed Abel, and the Lord God began questioning Cain and describing the subsequent curse, Cain described to the Lord God the fatal harm people would inflict. Noah the ark builder was the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve's son Seth. Noah was righteous and blameless and found favor in the eyes of the Lord God. After the Lord God brought 40 consecutive days and nights of rain upon the earth to destroy animals and mankind, water remained flooded upon the earth, and Noah, his family, and the specific animals that had been led to the ark were on the ark for over 300 days. Afterwards, according to the commands of the Lord God, Noah, his family, and the animals went out of the ark, and Noah built an altar and offered sacrifices to the Lord God. The Lord God blessed Noah and Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and spoke to them and established his covenant, and told them to be fruitful, become many and fill the earth. Genesis Chapter 9 reveals other actions of Noah, Ham, Shem, and Japheth and the curse and the blessings spoken by Noah. Genesis Chapter 10 reveals the places settled by the descendants of Japheth and Ham, and the settlement of Shem's  descendants. Shem's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson was Terah. Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah. Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and his wife Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. Over 1,900 years after Judah was born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, the daughter of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean), Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. In Judea, when Jesus was upon the Mount of Olives, Jesus spoke to his disciples about Noah, the flood and the ark.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
