Attention:
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!

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.’”
