This article concludes a 7-part series on the core themes that emerge from a literal study of Genesis 

-4. The focus of this last article is one that looks ahead to the future, especially in light of Jesus' comments about the times just before His Second Coming being "like the days of Noah." There are clues in the Scriptures that suggest Jesus' words were intended to remind us of the Nephilim from antiquity.

Lessons From My Cats

Unquestionably, the Bible remains the final say in all matters of our present and future lives. It's therefore easy to subscribe to the safe and predictable ideas concerning God's Word. But sometimes the most accurate positions are the ones that emerge when we choose to step out from behind the rigid constraints of stained glass views. That means we may need to wrestle with uncomfortable themes.  When I write an article, I use that exercise to process issues that God has laid on my heart.  I may spend many weeks on it as I carefully consider its content. I trust these articles will inspire you, provoke you, and compel you to study the Bible with a fresh perspective.
