Mysteries of Creation
Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Until the prophet Elisha (who lived over one-hundred years before Hezekiah) no one recovered from an illness. Elisha, ill, pleaded for his life and HaShem/Elokim granted it. Kings 2, 13:14, “Elisha became ill with the sickness from which he would die…” That implies that previously he became ill from a sickness from which he did not die. That illness was the first in history that was not fatal.

Hezekiah, King of Judah, was the first to be ill and cured. Hezekiah argued, “It isn’t good that a person has no second chance. If there were a possibility that a person could be cured from an illness, he would do t’shuva in hope that HaShem/Elokim would permit him to live. Without any hope he just gives up. HaShem/Elokim replied, “You ask a good thing; I will begin with you.”

Bereishit 12:1-3: HaShem/Elokim said to Avraham, “Go for your own sake from your country, from your native land, and from your father’s home to the Eretz that I will show you. I will you a great nation, bless you and make your name great, and you will become a blessing. I will bless those who will bless you and curse those who curse you, and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

With the understanding we have learned, we need not wonder why HaShem/Elokim promised to eradicate the establishment He had made, when, in the event, He did not do so. While mankind was not quiet entirely wiped out, the establishment, the structure of mankind, was. For this reason, too, the genealogy from Adam to Noach calls itself (Bereishit 5:1): “This is an account of the descendants of man.” The genealogy totals each individual’s life span, for the purpose of the genealogy is to relate the history of those individuals.
The purpose of the mabbul, however, is unconcerned with individuals. The purpose is to relate the development of the races of mankind, the nations into which the children of Noach were to be divided. Therefore, the genealogy is prefaced (Noach, Bereishit 9:18,19): “The three sons of Noach who emerged from the ark were Shem, Cham, and Yafet, and the descendants of these spread over the whole earth.

When HaShem/Elokim created the world He intended to give the Torah to “mankind.” But Odom haRishon sinned; Cain killed his brother; in the next generation idolatry was instituted. Finally, indulging in robbery and sexual immorality as well as idolatry; mankind was unfit to receive the Torah. But this time there was Noach, a tsaddik who walked with HaShem/Elokim, fit to be the ancestor of a people who would receive the Torah.

The first member of mankind was Odom (Adam). His name speaks for itself, for the word means “man” (not in the sense of an “adult male,” for the Hebrew word “Odom” has no connotation of sex or age (Bereishit 1:27, 5:1,2 and Mattos, BaMidbar 31:34). This one individual, dubbed “mankind,” is no less that the founder of humanity.
The second person was Chava (Eve). She too, represents not merely an individual, but all life ever after, as the Torah (Bereishit3:20) tells us: The man called his wife’s name “Chava,” for she is mother of all living.
Of the next generation we read (4:17): Cain knew his wife and conceived and bore Chanoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, “Chanoch.”
One man built an entire city. Undoubtedly, that is the reason HaShem/Elokim made the early generations live as long as they did, for otherwise civilization could not have been established.

Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.
