The Sixth Seal

Noah, his name means Rest because, they said; "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the Lord has cursed."

I guess it was Noah who figured out that his people made better shepherds and vintners than they did crop farmers, or it may have something to do with the fact that the flood moved Noah and his family farther north, near the modern border between Syria and Turkey. But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Prelude To The Sixth Seal

Seth called on the name of YHWH, and Enoch walked with YHWH, but people are people; and when it comes down to it, the Sons of God were people.

The Sons of Man (the pre-flood Sumerians) were as fruitful and religious as the Sons of God. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil had spawned an orchard, and the fruit was tasty; exotic women, vast riches, and great power. All the Sons of Adam had to do was forget who they were.

They've Been Here All Along

I used to think that Revelation was the scariest book in the Bible, what with creatures having too many horns eyes and crowns to fit on one head and the four horsemen who are waiting for God to give the Word so they can start smiting people and spreading misery before Jesus throws a mountain on the beasts' heads and sends whoever's left on earth straight to Hell...pfft
