    Annotated Gen.9.20-27 "Noah in his tent"

    The Spirit is here specific as the world of Noah. The Lord God setting a bow upon the cloud is not merely to lookat but to make man remember where he is place. This world framed by the word of God is but one. Noah having the mind of Christ revers the word of Jesus, "I am the true Vine" and becomes an husbandman. ( Jn 15.1) What is the relation of Shem, Hamand Japheth to Noah? Are they not you and me to God the Father? The word 'husbandman' is placed by the Spirit and is not Bible hermenetics, but the only aim of the Holy Spirit to instruct manin righteousness.

    So what was Ham doing? He is setting his own will- worship there instead of looking away in reverence to his holiness. False teachers have been offering polluted offerings in the name of Bh. Are 12 Apostles part of the body of Christ asks one son of perdition? 12 thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel must be set on the earth, another one, equally a son of Belial reasons. Is God and his word are to be trivialised by them? Malachi reminds us of them,"A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"( Mal. 1.6)

    Doctrine of Balaam and ' the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate," is on the same scale of prosperity theology and Christian nationalism of our times.(Rev.2.6,14) Gbosticism, Arianism have survived to which we may call as coming from the depths of Satan so their tower of Babel to reach unto the heavens shall end in fiasco. Our true worship must be as living in tents while God is in his tent. Do we enter therein with the will worship or in reverence, having the mind of Christ?

    Shem showed the correct spirit. So Noah blesses him.

    Curse on Canaan was from foreknowledge, in him was the mercantile spirit, which we find in our times.
