Introduction:Have you seen a rainbow in the sky lately?Do you remember why God put the rainbow there?It is to remind us of His promise that there will never be another worldwide flood. 引子:你最近有没有看见天空中的彩虹?你记得为什么神把彩虹放在那吗?彩虹是神与我们立约的记号---他再也不会用洪水毁灭全世界了。 Noah and his family were the only people left alive after God sent the flood. But soon this one family began to multiply into many families. Genesis 11:1-2 says And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. The people were all just one big family. When they decided to move, they ALL moved! But was that Gods plan?In the beginning God had told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth . God repeated that commandment to Noah after the flood. Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Replenish means to go out and fill the earth. The animals and other creatures were going out here and there to fill the earth, just as God had commanded, but people were not! 挪亚一家是洪水后仅存的人类,但很短时间之内一个家庭就繁衍成许多家庭。创 世 纪11章12节告诉我们那时、天下人的口音言语、都是一样。他们往东边迁移的时候、在示拿地遇见一片平原、就住在那里。所有的人都属于一个大家庭。当他们决定迁移时,所有的人都迁移!这是神的计划吗?起初神告诉亚当和夏娃生养众多遍满地面(创 世纪1章28节),洪水之后神又对挪亚重申了这个命令。动物与其他生物照着神的吩咐四处分布遍满全地,然而人类还没有。 |
