True Friendship:
A young honeymoon couple were touring southern Florida & happened to stop at one of the rattlesnake farms along the road. After seeing the sights, they engaged in small talk with the man that handled the snakes.
“Goodness!” exclaimed the new bride. “You certainly have a dangerous job. Don't you ever get bitten by the snakes?”
“Yes, on rare occasions,” answered the handler.
“Well," she continued, “just what do you do when you're bitten by a snake?”
“I always carry a razor-sharp knife in my pocket, & as soon as I am bitten, I make deep criss-cross marks across the fang entry & then suck the poison from the wound & spit it out.”
“What, uh...what would happen if you were to accidentally sit on a rattler?” persisted the woman.
The snake handler answered, “Ma’am, that will be the day I learn who my real friends are.”
*When true friendship is realized you will never regret it!

God RELEASES(:15-19)
Explanation: (:15-19) Enter into fullness of salvation
:15—“Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
:16—““Go out of the ark, you & your wife, & your sons & your sons’ wives with you.”
God spoke again to Noah after the ground was dry. There is no record of God speaking with Noah since He had earlier commanded them to enter the ark. They rode out the total destruction of wickedness without hearing God’s voice.
Previously God had told them to enter the ark & now—at last(See :10—“waited”)—Noah was told to leave the ark with his family.
“Spoke”—rbd daw-bar'—Piel Imperfect—1) To speak, declare, converse, command, promise, warn, threaten, sing—1c) (Piel)—1c1) To speak, 1c2) To promise. Strong—a primitive root; perhaps properly, To arrange; but used figuratively(of words)--To speak; rarely(in a destructive sense)--To subdue.
“Go out”—auy yaw-tsaw'—Qal Imperative—1) To go out, come out, exit, go forth. Strong—a primitive root; To go(causatively, bring) out, in a great variety of applications, literally & figuratively, direct & proximally.
:17—““Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds & cattle & every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, & be fruitful & multiply on the earth.””
:18—“So Noah went out, & his sons & his wife & his sons’ wives with him.”
:19—“Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, & whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.””
It was also Noah’s responsibility to see that the animals were “brought out” from the ark. He was to do this so that the animals might again “abound” upon the earth., This they were to do by fulfilling their God-ordained directive to be “fruitful & multiply.”
Thus Noah exited the ark with “his sons, his wife & his sons’ wives.”
Also the animals of all the “families” present, exited the ark. It is very likely that “families” had been produced among the animals during their time on the ark.
One day—at the end of all things dealing with this earth—Rapture—Tribulation—Judgment Seat of Christ—1000 yr. reign of Christ—Great White Throne judgment...Christians will enter the fullness of their salvation! We will be released to experience God as we never can in this flesh!
“Bring out”(See :16—“Go out”—Qal Imperative)— auy yaw-tsaw'—Hiphil Imperative—1) To go out, come out, exit, go forth. Strong—a primitive root; To go(causatively, bring) out, in a great variety of applications, literally & figuratively, direct & proximally.
“Abound”—Urv shaw-rats'—1) (Qal) To teem, swarm, multiply. Strong—a primitive root; To wriggle, i.e. by implication--Swarm or abound.
“Fruitful”—hrp paw-raw'—1) To bear fruit, be fruitful, branch off. Strong—a primitive root; To bear fruit (literally or figuratively).
“Multiply”—hbr raw-baw'—Qal Perfect—1) Be or become great, be or become many, be or become much, be or become numerous. Strong—a primitive root; To increase (in whatever respect).
“Families”—hxpvm mish-paw-khaw'—1) Clan, family. Strong—A family, i.e. Circle of relatives; figuratively--A class(of persons), a species(of animals) or sort(of things); by extension--A tribe or people.

Mat. 25:13-30—““Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants & delivered his goods to them. “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, & to another one, to each according to his own ability; & immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went & traded with them, & made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went & dug in the ground, & hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants came & settled accounts with them. So he who had received five talents came & brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good & faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ “He also who had received two talents came & said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good & faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ “Then he who had received the one talent came & said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, & gathering where you have not scattered seed. ‘And I was afraid, & went & hid your talent in the ground. &Look, there you have what is yours.’ “But his lord answered & said to him, ‘You wicked & lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, & gather where I have not scattered seed. ‘So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, & at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. ‘Therefore take the talent from him, & give it to him who has ten talents. ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, & he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. ‘And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping & gnashing of teeth.’”
1Cor. 4:1-5—“Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ & stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness & reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.”
Rev 21:1-8—“Now I saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the first heaven & the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, & He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true & faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, & I will be his God & he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone, which is the second death.””
Salvation is both present & future:
Present:
2Cor. 5:20-6:2—“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Jn. 3:3, 5-7—“Jesus answered & said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.””.....“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water & the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, & that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’”
Future:
Rom. 13:7-11—“Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” & if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”
*1Jn. 3:1-3—“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; & it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”
Rom. 8:16-25—“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, & if children, then heirs--heirs of God & joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans & labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”
