Chapter 7 Part IX Generations of Noah (Grace and the Offender)
Generations of Noah (Grace and the Offender)
Recently in Generations of Noah (Grace and Probation) we continued our discussion in regards to God’s Grace. During that segment of our journey, we examined that second part of Grace which those who will eventually perish in the flood are oblivious to. Through this examination we became aware of the fact that, Grace is a temporary exemption or reprieve. And as a temporary exemption or reprieve, Grace involves Time and Judgement. And not just any Time and Judgement, but specifically, a prescribed limit in time and the Sentence of pain, trouble and death. We also learned, that as a temporary exemption, Grace only temporarily suspends or holds back the execution of an original pronouncement. This declaration was that sentence of pain, trouble, and death, which was given in the garden. And because this is the case, we have immediately become aware of the fact that Grace is a probationary period. And as a probationary period, it must have three constituent parts which are needed for its operation. These three are the Convicted Offender, the Probation Officer, and the JUDGE.
Finally, we learned about the spirit of the LORD and its role as man’s probation officer. While it occupies this office, it must perform three duties. First, it must supervise man. Secondly, it must investigate all claims against man. Thirdly, it must issue a report back to a HIGHER AUTHORITY in regards to man’s actions. Now, let us continue by examining the second participant and his duties .
Along with the probation officer, every probation must have a CONVICTED OFFENDER. If One will closely examine, they will see that out of the three participants, the convicted offender is the most important constituent part of a probationary period. This is because, without this offender and his offences, the other two parts would not be required to function in their respective roles. If there are no offences then there is no need for a judge, a sentence, a probationary period (Grace), and a probation officer. But since there are many offences and offenders, all of these other pieces are necessary and requiired. Therefore, in effect, the convicted offender generates or produces the roles of the other parts.
For One to be classified as a convicted offender, they must first offend. And for One to offend, it is necessary that they must first accomplish certain deeds or actions. Let us now define ‘offend’ so that we may gain a clearer understanding of what these actions consist of.
Definitions Merriam Webster.
1. Offend: intransitive verb 1 a : to transgress the moral or divine law : SIN *if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive — Shakespeare* b : to violate a law or rule : do wrong *offend against the law* 2 a : to cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury *took off his shoe and removed the offending pebble* b : to cause dislike, anger, or vexation *thoughtless words that offend needlessly*transitive verb 1 a : VIOLATE, TRANSGRESS b : to cause pain to : HURT 2 obsolete : to cause to sin or fall 3 : to cause to feel vexation or resentment usually by violation of what is proper or fitting *was offended by their language*
From the definition, Believers can now see the deeds that One must accomplish in order to be classified as a convicted offender. This person who is an offender must: transgress the moral or divine law, sin (offend: int. 1a), violate a law or rule, do wrong (offend: int. 1b), cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury (offend: int. 2a), cause dislike, anger, or vexation (offend: int. 2b), violate, transgress (offend: t.1a), cause pain to, or hurt (offend: t.1b), cause to sin or fall (offend: t. 2), and cause to feel vexation or resentment usually by violation of what is proper or fitting (offend: t. 3).
Throughout history, man has been found guilty of all the requirements that are needed for One to be classified as an offender. His greed, lust for power, and selfishness has consistently led him to flagrantly offend. And because of his reoccurring offences he has been tried, convicted and is currently on probation. But as history has shown, he will always find a way to violate his probation. And because of these violations, and his unwillingness to change, the initial pronouncements of pain, trouble, and death will be put into execution.
Now, since history is replete with reoccurring patterns, we must understand that, man’s violation of his probation has generally taken a particular form. So by carefully examining Noah‘s period, One will discover the offence, along with the actions which constitute its reoccurring shape.
In Gen 6: 11 the Believer can find this offence in the form of violence (Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.). The first thing that One will notice in this verse is that this is not your ordinary violence. This stems from the fact that this violence is so large in extent and quantity that it fills the whole earth. And if you will recall from Generations of Noah (Period), this violence is so flagrant that it has become part of the tangible or observable phenomena which defines the period of Noah. Now, in order to fully understand this offence and its constitution, let us now define ‘violence.’
2. Violence: 1 a : exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house) b : an instance of violent treatment or procedure 2 : injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation : OUTRAGE 3 a : intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force *the violence of the storm* b : vehement feeling or expression : FERVOR; also : an instance of such action or feeling c : a clashing or jarring quality : DISCORDANCE 4 : undue alteration (as of wording or sense in editing a text)
In the meanings of ‘violence’ One will see what man has repeatedly done to violate his probation. Also, from the meanings, Believers will see the actions which define and form these violation. Man’s violation has occurred because he is unabashedly using exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house) (violence 1a). There is an ongoing instance of violent treatment or procedure (violence 1b). He has caused injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation, and outrage (violence 2). He is repeatedly using intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force (violence 3a). He is full of vehement feeling or expression and fervor (violence 3b), He is full of clashing or jarring qualities, and discordance (violence 3c), Finally, he has caused an undue alteration (as of wording or sense in editing a text) (violence 4).
Finally, we must understand that man is a convicted offender. And because of his reoccurring offences plus his unwillingness to change once confronted, he now remains in a state of perpetual probation. And because of this state of probation, he is assigned the spirit of the LORD as a probation officer. Man’s probation officer cannot and will not force him to change his ways. His only responsibility is to watch and supervise him. Therefore, it is up to man to repent and change. For through the increased use of violence he violates that probation. And by violating that probation with impunity, he now places himself in danger of the execution of that original sentence.
“When thou seest increasingly great violence fill the land, know that the Judgement of the LORD is at hand”
Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.
Jeremiah 22:17 But thine eyes and thine heart [are] not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
