Genesis

God said "where are you?" "who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" "what is this you have done?" and God cursed serpent.., 혼내ed Adam and Eve and then God made garments for Adam and Eve and clothed them.

Even though God knew everything, he listened to Adam and Eve's side of the story. He didn't 꾸중them even though he had every right to get mad at adam and eve for disobeying and blaming each other for the wrongdoings. But, God listened to them until they were done "explaining".

How many times do I try to blame others and be busy explaining why I did certain things that God would not be happy about? How many times have God listened to my side of the story and excuses I came up with. Lord forgive me for my shortcoming and my selfishness and Thank you for your grand heart.

why is that the man who was recorded to be walking faithfully with God for 300 years, and that he was no more alive because God took him away.. living total of 365 years when the avg age for ppl's life span was about 800-900 years?

Adam-->Noah 태어난거까지가 1056년. 그리구 when Noah was 500 years old, he gave birth to shem, ham, and Japheth. Flood happened when Noah was 600 years old therefore making it 1656 years after Adam was first created. Flood happened for 40 days (days/nights) and flooded for 150days (7월17일~ 10월1일(74일) tops of mountains became visible) and then after 40 days(11월10일) Noah let out a raven... 150days of flood and being flooded + 114 days of seeing mountain and sending raven + 7 more days of waiting and sent dove again.. and then waited 7 days.(11월21일) Meaning total of 278 days of flooding, flood and waiting until coming back to land. --> Noah was 601 years old. 2월 27일 땅이 다 말랐다. (came out of ark)

Noah Lived until 950/ lived 350 years after flood. After 1946 years after Adam was created, Abram was born from Shem's line who was a son of Noah). Abram was 86 years of when Hegar bore Ishmael. Abram was 99 years old when he changed his name to Abraham and at 99/100, he gave birth to isaac. Isaac was 60 when he cave birth to Jacob and Esau. acob took Esau's blessings by wearing goat skin and tricking dad... Jacob later had 12 sons. Isaac lived until 180 years. Jacob's 막내 was Joseph. He had dreams and his brothers hated him and sold him to his brothers. The Lord was with Joseph when he was sold and Lord was with him when he was seen favor in Egyptian )potiphar, pharaoh's officials/captain of the guard).and Lord was with Joseph even in prison which made Joseph to be top in the prison as well. (Lord gave him success in whatever he did). and Later to be a top of Egypt by interpreting Pharaoh's dream correctly. Later married Potiphera's daugther and had child Manasseh (b/c God made Joseph forget all his past troubles) and Ephraim (God made joseph fruitful  in the land of suffering).

Later when Egypt and rest of the world was going through the 7 years of famine, Joseph's 10 brothers came to get grains. But joseph 혼내ed them saying that they're spies. Told the 10 brothers to leave the youngest "simeon" and bring back their youngest benjamin and they will be freed of prison. But in the midst of this joseph 챙겨ed them a bag full of silvers along with the grains. Later second trip to Egypt was made with benjamin and the other brothers. Joseph later revealed himself to the brothers  by having a feast with them and later told them to go back. but tricked them by putting joseph's silver cup in benjamin's so they returned to be imprisoned. But, later joseph revealed his identity to his brothers and told them to bring his entire family including his father Jacob. The entire family came and joseph told pharaoh and Pharaoh gave them the best lands to live.. Later, Joseph brought his two sons Mannaseh and ephraim and Jacob blessed them. Younger son (Ephraim) was blessed to be "greater" than his older brother. After Jacob blessed his 12 sons and breathed his last breath.  (took 40 days of preparing/embalming and 70 days of egyptians mourning for Joseph's father, jacob). Jacob was barried in land of Canaan with the approval and escort of Pharaoh and after the burial, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers.

Genesis 50:19-21  “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? ²⁰ You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. ²¹ So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them."

After Joseph lived til 110 years. HE saw 4rd generation of ephraim's children. Told his brothers and the family to remember about the promised land told to Abraham, isaac, and Jacob. told them to surely follow God's aid to the promised land out of Egypt and bury Joseph's bones in that land. 

Joseph was able to interpret all he dreams. But, he was humble and believed and told others that he "cannot do it" but "god will provide the answers and interpret for me". Joseph said "God has revealed... ____" to pharaoh. Lifted everything upto God. Joseph did not forget God. God lifted up Joseph to be the top and God made Joseph to be in charge of Egypt.

 Lord I cannot do anything... you can do it... I wonder why even though the Bible mentions that the Lord was with Joseph the whole time, why did he go through hardships like being in prison when he didn't do anything wrong? why was Joseph put into that situation where he was "Seen" as a person who had sex with the leader's wife when he had the right intention?
