After Solomon died the nation of Israel divided. The elders of the tribes of Israel led by Jeroboam asked Rehoboam, Solomon's son and successor, to lighten the burden the king imposed upon the people (1 Kings 12:1-4). Following the advice of his contemporaries rather than listening to the wisdom of his father's counselors, Rehoboam promised a "get-tough" policy with Israel (1 Kings 12:5-14). As a result, ten tribes rejected Rehoboam, split away from Judah, and made Jeroboam their king (1 Kings 12: 16-20).

There is a devil, and he's smart, deceitfully, wickedly, treacherously smart; but he and his hoard of demons may not know as much as you might think he knows.

While in Jerusalem after attending the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus had a heated confrontation with some Jewish religious authorities that became an argument about parentage, both his and theirs (John 8:12-59). They claimed that their was Abraham (vss. 33, 39), then they ramped up their claim saying, "The only Father we have is God himself" (vs. 41). But Jesus would not accept it, rebuking them, "You belong to your father, the devil, and you carry out your father's desires" (vs. 44a).

The Bible tells us all we need to know about the devil; it's pretty thorough, but still it may not say as much about him as you may think.

Obeying God, Noah and his family entered the ark before the storm began. For forty days and forty nights, rain fell and the fountains of the deep poured forth water, flooding the entire world until the water stood twenty feet above the highest mountains. For a 150 days, water covered the earth. Noah and his family waited, locked up in the ark, amid the greatest menagerie ever assembled, unable to see what was going on outside, wondering what God would do next.

God is the major actor in Genesis 6:5-8, but the emphasis shifts in verse 9; the spotlight shines on Noah. It describes Noah in only ten Hebrew words, yet so much is said in those few words. Noah, a man who found grace in the eyes of God, proved it was possible to live faithfully even in a troubled and wicked world.

Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man" (Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:26). So, what was it like in the days of Noah?
