Genesis 7:7
“And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.”
The women of the household of Noah not often mentioned had
to have been incredible woman of their time.
Let’s imagine for a moment the character, morals, and values
of these women? What questions come to your mind??
The wife of Noah: This woman’s husband found grace in the
sight of the Lord. We can conclude she was patient, understanding, and encouraging.
Did she not go the way her husband wanted her to go? Was she not patiently loving throughout
the years her husband toiled to bring forth an ark not only to save mankind but
all species alike? She nurtured and raised three fine young men who took heed
to God’s warning and honored their Father and Mother according to the Laws.
The Wife of Shem: After the flood this woman gave birth to
the generational seed that produced CHRIST our Lord and savior. Was she aware
of the role she would play in the lineage of the Savior? Maybe she warned her
family and friends of the wrath to come? Did she not heed the warning of the
wrath to come upon the earth?
The wife of Ham: After the flood this woman gave birth to
the generational seed of the dark races not the race who’s considered the Negros.
Was she aware her and her sister-in-law’s would be the ones who would help in replenishing
the earth? Did she not heed the warning of the wrath to come upon the earth?
How did she feel when her son Canaan was cursed because of the actions of his
father?
The wife of Japheth: After the flood this woman gave birth
to the generational seed that would dwell among her brother-in-law’s Shem tents
and received the children of Canaan as servants. Did she not heed the warning
of the wrath to come upon the earth? Was she not respectful to her husband by
showing charity to her in-laws?
O’ how strong a bond, sisterhood and family unit these four
women built! The scriptures says “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the
foolish plucketh it down with her hands” –Proverbs 14:1. Can you imagine the mockery, filthy conversation and sneers these women faced in general from worldly persons on behalf of their husbands and vice versa? Maybe they had to hear ridicule from parents and siblings? No matter the tribulation they endured. It’s obvious the house
of Noah was a strong unit with women who consider the words of YHWH, who gave
reverence to their own husbands’ guidance and in doing so were four of the eight
persons saved from the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
