Day 11
Yahweh Is NO Human
The book of Genesis demonstrates for us the rapid development of human’s ego mania, and it is no where more clearly seen than at the end of chapter four. In verse 26 we find the often misunderstood and condemning comment that people began to call themselves by God’s name.
Genesis 4:26 “At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.”
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)
The verse would be better translated, “At that time people began to invoke on themselves the name ‘I Will Be and Do What I Will.’”
Chapter four of Genesis chronicles the devolution of human existence.
Cain arrogantly names the first city after his son and Cain’s grandson is then named a ‘wild ass’ whose son was called ‘smitten by God.’ This smitten one then fathered a son whose character was know for his cowardly attempts at appeasement of evil. Then, the fifth from Cain, Lamech meaning ‘made low,’ attempts to elevate himself by instituting polygamy and then boasting of his slaughtering of a youth and trumpets said slaughter to God’s enabling.
One of Lamech’s wives bore two sons… one that was named a vagabond and the other also a wanderer that went about blowing a horn. The second wife’s son was known as being sick, mortal, and in despair.
Now, their crowing reaches it’s pinnacle in verse 26 as these desperately miserable creatures begin to call themselves by God’s own name, Yahweh… yet “I AM” is not who humans are… nor claim to be.
The modern ‘humanists’ make the same boast as they brag that “Man is the measure of all things.”
This is the ultimate statement of abject delusion.
