Noah Primeval (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 1)

by Brian Godawa

Methuselah knew who the Chosen Seed was. And he was going to tan his hide.

Oop..get him Methuselah

By masquerading as gods of the land, they sought to usurp the throne of Elohim and draw human worship away from the Creator.

Sure did and still are

Backlit by the bright sun rays upon her red dye linen dress, she was a goddess to him—every bit a tribal queen, and every inch a magnificent vision of Elohim’s creative capacity.

May this love and desire attack me

“Elohim does not make mistakes,” said Methuselah. “You must build the box.”

Elohim obliged no man life or blessing. He dispensed his purposes as he wished and he did not owe an explanation for his ways.

Elohim only promised victory in the end, not in the entire process. He promised that he would be with them through the fire.

Noah realized a truth about human society: not everyone wanted freedom. When a people willingly or unwillingly become wards of their rulers, they eventually lose their capacity for self-determination. Like helpless children, they actually prefer security in exchange for their freedom. Better the misery they know while being taken care of than the misery they do not know being freely accountable for their own actions. Noah pitied them. They had lost their souls.

“Do not be so sure that revenge is a meal that will satisfy your hunger. It is more like a disease that eats away your soul. As the years go on, bitterness turns you into the very thing you detest. You begin a blessed man. But when Elohim takes away that blessing, you begin to believe you deserved it in the first place. You blame him and eventually you end up an old bellyaching ingrate without the ability to appreciate the good in anything. And you realize that you are the reason for your misery. You have become your own enemy.”

Prayers always took her mind off herself and her impossibilities and onto Elohim and His possibilities.

“We become the choices we make in this life, Ham. I pray you consider the choices you are making—and their consequences,”
