1
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,100
Why we talk about the flood? 
I want to talk about the world, 

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:11,200
that no one knew. 
Now, remember that before the 

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,300
flood, we don't know what that 
world was really like. 

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,100
In fact, all we have about that 
world is fairly the first five 

5
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:24,400
chapters of the Book of Genesis 
and that covers about 1656 

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,300
years. 
And so, there are lots of 

7
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,400
information. 
There is lots of information 

8
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:33,100
that's not given to us now to 
illustrate, why We do not for 

9
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:35,500
sure. 
Why we do not know what that 

10
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:37,300
world was. 
For example. 

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,900
You know, we hear the myth of 
the ancient city of Atlantis, 

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,700
well that City might not have 
been a myth. 

13
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,200
It might have come from a real 
story from a city that existed 

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,800
before the flood, the technology
that they had the science that 

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,200
they knew we lost in the flood 
for another example. 

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,900
In Glen Rose Texas, there's a 
museum where they found an axe 

17
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:04,400
head in South Texas. 
They Dated it about six thousand

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,700
years ago which would have been 
before the flood and there is a 

19
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:13,200
mixture of chloride and iron ore
and other chemicals that 

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,100
modern-day metal people would 
like to understand and know how 

21
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:18,700
to do. 
They can't repeat it. 

22
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:23,200
So the point is we don't know 
what kind of world that was all 

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,300
we can do is take what the text 
tells us because that world that

24
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,000
no one knew when he entered the 
boat is gone. 

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,000
You know, people talk about, 
historically, you've read 

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,600
stories about how these ancient 
soldiers and ancient General 

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,100
search the world to find the 
Garden of Eden that they might 

28
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,500
find that gold. 
Well, the problem is the Garden 

29
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:47,900
of Eden, no longer exist. 
Before the Flood, there was a 

30
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:54,000
cherubim angel with a flaming 
sword guarding the entrance to 

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,700
that Garden. 
But after the flood it was gone,

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,500
it exists, no more. 
And so we're going to talk a 

33
00:02:00,508 --> 00:02:03,300
little bit about the world that 
Noah's move, the weather that 

34
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:05,800
Noah move the causes of the 
Noah's flood. 

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,300
The effects of Noah's flood and 
of course, Noah's flood and the 

36
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,200
end of the world. 
Now, know that this story of the

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,100
flood is interesting for many 
reasons, first of all, it's only

38
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,400
ten Generations from the time 
that a Has created. 

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Now that may appear or seemed 
like a long time, it's about 

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,100
1656 years, but when you read in
Genesis chapter 5, you'll find 

41
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:34,300
that many individuals lived to 
be over 900 years old. 

42
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,200
In fact, the person we teach our
children that was recorded to 

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,500
have lived, the longest was 
Methuselah. 

44
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:45,400
So when you consider these 
genealogies that are found there

45
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:49,500
in the Book of Genesis from Adam
to Noah, I want you to realize 

46
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,200
eyes that probably Seth died 
before Noah. 

47
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,000
But English, the grandson of 
Noah probably was alive whenever

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,700
duel was born. 
And so he had a very close 

49
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,100
communication with the 
beginning. 

50
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,600
And of course, during this 
period of Bible History, their 

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,900
record was passed down from 
generation to generation and 

52
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:15,100
Moses is recorded or is given 
the credit as to brought those 

53
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,800
records together or to have 
recorded the Book of Genesis as 

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,300
we know it. 
So It was about two thousand 

55
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,200
years after creation, that the 
things we read in the Book of 

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,500
Genesis were recorded so we have
to remember that. 

57
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,700
That's very important but what's
interesting it's not all that 

58
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,700
long. 
We commonly see Generations 4 

59
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:36,500
and 5. 
But they saw many more 

60
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:39,900
Generations than that because of
their ancient age because of 

61
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:42,600
their extended age. 
Now what you have to also 

62
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,900
remember is that God created a 
perfect world. 

63
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,500
He created a world where there 
was no sin, he Created man with 

64
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,700
perfect Intelligence on the 
first day that man was born or 

65
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,500
made was created. 
He wasn't born, he had the 

66
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:01,400
ability to look at the animals 
that God calls to come into His 

67
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,200
presence. 
In fact, if you study the 

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,700
record, you'll find that the 
animal man relationship before 

69
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:10,200
the flood was also different and
it changed After the flood. 

70
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,600
But these animals came into no 
on the first day that he was 

71
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,300
created. 
I don't, he was only one day 

72
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,500
old, there are six hours old or 
whatever, but he was created. 

73
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,600
All groan with full perfect 
intelligence. 

74
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,800
Now he was not perfect in the 
sense that God is perfect 

75
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:30,200
omniscient and omnipotent, but 
he obviously are omnipotent, but

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,000
he was obviously a perfect being
God said him in a perfect world.

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Everything was perfect and ready
for his care. 

78
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,000
And when all of these animals 
came into him, he not only had 

79
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,100
the mindset to name those 
animals, but he had the ability 

80
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,200
to remember those names because 
they still wear that name today,

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,700
like cattle and dogs. 
Dog and cat, and lion and 

82
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:53,000
elephant. 
And so forth. 

83
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,200
We still go by those names 
today. 

84
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,300
Adams, the one that named them. 
So God gave man, a perfect 

85
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:01,000
intelligence. 
That's what he did. 

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,300
He gave the world, a perfect 
existence, but man, messed it 

87
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:10,700
up. 
It was sin that caused thorns 

88
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,400
and thistles to grow in the 
garden. 

89
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:19,300
It was sin that caused the 
universe to begin to die up 

90
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:23,000
until the time of my Adam's sin.
There was no death. 

91
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,300
In fact, no matter which 
theistic evolutionary idea, you 

92
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,400
try to incorporate into the 
Bible, it won't work. 

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,900
There are too many 
contradictions. 

94
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,300
I can spend an hour talking 
about the contradictions between

95
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,200
any theistic evolutionary idea 
in the Bible but the main one is

96
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,700
that all of them suggest that, 
before Adam, we have seen death 

97
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,100
and suffering. 
And the Bible says that sin and 

98
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:52,700
death and suffering was brought 
to us by Adam and Romans 5:12. 

99
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:57,800
And so that finishes the day age
theory that finishes, the Gap 

100
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600
theory that finishes, whatever, 
Theory. 

101
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:03,400
You want to talk about and there
are many that people have tried 

102
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,200
to incorporate in the Bible. 
There's no way that can be the 

103
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,300
Bible contradicts that. 
You can't believe Evolution and 

104
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:14,300
believe the Bible. 
Now there is there are two kinds

105
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,200
of evolution there's 
macro-evolution and there's 

106
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,200
microevolution and 
macro-evolution claims that that

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800
1/8 can become a man. 
And that's that's false. 

108
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,500
Now microevolution is within the
species or within the There is a

109
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,100
vast opportunity or ability to 
change. 

110
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:38,500
That's why it is known today 
that the Chihuahua and the Great

111
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:42,400
Dane came from the original dog,
male and female that came off 

112
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,800
the boat. 
So you're only, there was only 

113
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,500
one, dog one male and one 
female, and the Great Dane. 

114
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:50,500
And the chihuahua have come from
that original match that came 

115
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,500
off the boat, so don't get mixed
up. 

116
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,100
There is there is change or I 
don't like to use the word 

117
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,100
Evolution, but there is changed 
within kinds. 

118
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,100
That's why we have black. 
People. 

119
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,500
And that's why we have white 
people, and yellow people and 

120
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:08,100
red people because within the 
species at the beginning of 

121
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,900
creation, Adam and Eve had the 
ability to have dark children 

122
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,900
have like children what 
whichever color or skin tone a 

123
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:21,100
chador or face feature. 
You want to talk about that was 

124
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,300
within Adam and Eve to have that
capability and that's how all 

125
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:26,500
these different races came and 
we don't have time to study 

126
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,100
about that. 
But we could now look at this. 

127
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:32,600
God made a perfect world. 
Men corrupted, it, he corrupted 

128
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,300
it with sin. 
The Bible says, and the Lord 

129
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:39,500
said, my spirit shall not strive
with man forever for he is 

130
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,700
indeed, flesh. 
Yet his days shall be 120 years.

131
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Now, some people try to say that
this is the numbering of the 

132
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000
days of man, but this is 
interesting to me because, you 

133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800
know, Moses is the one that 
wrote Psalms 90. 

134
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,200
Now, all my life, I heard 
preachers, I heard preachers. 

135
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,100
Get up and quote from Psalm 90 
about a man's life being Three 

136
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:04,800
score, and ten and and if he's 
blessed, he lived to be 44 

137
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,900
score. 
But if you look at the beginning

138
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,100
of the text, it says that Moses 
wrote that. 

139
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:15,900
Now the point is this if this is
a setting of man's age to a 

140
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,900
lower level, if that's what he's
talking about, then there's a 

141
00:08:18,907 --> 00:08:21,600
contradiction in the Bible. 
Moses said, the average age of 

142
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,700
man is 70 years, not 120. 
Now. 

143
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:34,000
Not only that Noah lived after 
this to be over 900 years later.

144
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,900
Jacob went into the pharaoh of 
Egypt later in the text in 

145
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:43,900
Genesis and he was 175 years old
at Pharaoh was astonished at the

146
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:48,500
fact that he looks so young. 
So again that blasted the 

147
00:08:48,508 --> 00:08:51,600
120-year thing way out of 
proportion. 

148
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,000
The point is in this text God's 
not talking about the average 

149
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
age of anybody. 
Talking about the end of the 

150
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
world. 
Now, this is really interesting 

151
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,500
because Noah would have been 480
years old when this decree was 

152
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:12,900
made because we know that he was
600 when he entered the Ark and 

153
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:16,000
the flood came so 120 years 
previous to that would have made

154
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
him 480. 
But he did not have his first 

155
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:29,800
child until he's 500. now, the 
point is No, went out with the 

156
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,700
purpose and intent. 
Of saving his family and he 

157
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,700
saved his world. 
Now, I want you to look at lot 

158
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,100
for a minute. 
I don't think we always 

159
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:44,100
understand what's happening in 
the case of law. 

160
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,900
You remember, it says he pitched
his tent toward Sodom. 

161
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,900
You remember that when those men
tried to take the angels from 

162
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,100
Lots house, or those Godly men 
from Lots house, they said 

163
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,100
you've made yourself a judge 
over us. 

164
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,000
You remember that? 
The Bible says, he said at the 

165
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,300
gate. 
Now, when you read that 

166
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,400
expression, the Old Testament, 
that means he was a judge at 

167
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,900
you. 
In court, all their courts were 

168
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:10,400
held at the gate. 
Now, think about this, the Bible

169
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,600
also tells us that he was a 
righteous man and that he vexed.

170
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,900
His soul daily with their 
ungodly Deeds. 

171
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,400
So lots of righteous man. 
Now notice that, he's a judge, 

172
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,000
you know what his intent is? 
He intends to reform, Sodom, 

173
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,600
sometimes we get this idea. 
That if we get involved in 

174
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,500
politics, we can reform the 
world. 

175
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,200
He got so involved in, trying to
reform the world, he lost his 

176
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,100
family. 
Now, I want you to think about 

177
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,900
this. 
He went out to save his the 

178
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:43,900
world. 
He lost his family and his 

179
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:46,100
world. 
No. 

180
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,900
Went out to save his family and 
he saved the whole world. 

181
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,600
Now, think about this. 
Have you ever wondered why 

182
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Abraham stop for 10 people? 
Why did they burn you don't 

183
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,700
remember, when got those men 
came to Abraham in Genesis 18 

184
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,300
chapter and they told him that 
Sodom Gomorrah were going to be 

185
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,500
destroyed and he said my Lord, 
would you destroy the righteous 

186
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,400
with the wicked? 
I know you would never do that, 

187
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:12,200
suppose that there are just 50 
righteous souls in Sodom 

188
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,600
Gomorrah. 
Would you destroy those two 

189
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,300
places and God said, no. 
And he of course, goes on down 

190
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:23,200
45 and 40 and finally he gets 
down to 10 and he stops. 

191
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,300
Have you ever wondered why that 
he's, you know, I'm not sure out

192
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:31,400
of tried a second time. 
But Abraham just keeps going. 

193
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,000
And he still winning when he 
stops at 10. 

194
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:38,500
Why does he stop at 10? 
If you ever wondered that Well 

195
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:43,300
over there. 
In Genesis 19, it tells us Those

196
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:47,600
men were talking to lot and they
said, you go tell your son's 

197
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,500
in-laws too. 
Now, that means he had to marry 

198
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:58,000
daughters. 
He had sons of laws, he had to 

199
00:11:58,008 --> 00:12:01,500
have married daughters. 
Those men said, go tell your 

200
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:09,000
son's had to have at least two. 
Now, we know that lot had two 

201
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:16,600
virgin daughters and locked. 
His wife also make two, 2 4, 6, 

202
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:20,800
8 10. 
You see why Abraham said that he

203
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,400
knew his nephew, and he thought 
that he had saved his family, 

204
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,100
but you see lot made the mistake
of going out and trying to save 

205
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:34,000
the society and he not only lost
Society, but he lost his family.

206
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:41,100
But Noah, on the other hand. 
Went out to save his family and 

207
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,900
as a result of saving his 
family, he saved his world. 

208
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Well, so much for that. 
So in 120 years God decrees, I'm

209
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,600
going to destroy it all, it's 
going to be finished the world, 

210
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400
as we know it is going to end. 
Every air breather is going to 

211
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,700
die. 
They're going to see. 

212
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:01,300
See and feel destruction. 
It's the end of the world as we 

213
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,400
know it. 
Now we know that sea creatures 

214
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,800
were not going to die. 
Any fish were not going to die. 

215
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,100
They could live through this 
too. 

216
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Terrible tragedy, but every air 
breather was going to suffer 

217
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,900
death at the hands of almighty. 
God, the world that no one knew 

218
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:19,300
was finished. 
And clearly, it was declared 

219
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,900
even eat at the Bible says, 
according to Jude preach that 

220
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,100
the coming of the Lord was upon 
them. 

221
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,300
Now let's talk a little bit 
about the weather. 

222
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:32,000
Go back to Genesis chapter 2. 
Now remember that Genesis 1 is 

223
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,600
God's Divine statement of 
Creation in Genesis chapter 2 is

224
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,100
God's Divine commentary on what 
happened in. 

225
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,200
After two now he mentions things
in Chapter 2. 

226
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
They did this not mentioned in 
chapter 1 because he's a making 

227
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,500
some application in explaining 
some things that he did on the 

228
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:50,900
first day that he needed to 
explain further. 

229
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:53,800
For example, the family, the 
fact that the institution of the

230
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,900
family is explained clearly in 
Genesis chapter 2. 

231
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,800
Now look at this passage Genesis
chapter 2 verses fire and six 

232
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,500
before any plant of the field is
in the earth than before any 

233
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,900
herb of the field had grown for 
the Lord. 

234
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:10,600
God had not caused it to rain on
the The Earth, and there was no 

235
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400
man to till the ground. 
Now notice that, when God 

236
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,600
created the herbs, when he 
created the grass, when he 

237
00:14:16,608 --> 00:14:19,700
created the fruit trees, they 
were all full grown already. 

238
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,500
They all had the ability to 
reproduce instantly. 

239
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,100
God created it. 
He created it mature. 

240
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:32,900
So obviously it was new but it 
had the appearance of age it had

241
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:36,200
to so that it can reproduce 
after its own kind. 

242
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:40,500
So this passage is not say that 
there was no grass on the earth.

243
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,500
It's telling us that God had not
caused it to rain upon the 

244
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,400
earth. 
Now, think about this. 

245
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,800
Why would he say that? 
Now, he's probably referring 

246
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,200
back to the first day of 
creation in Genesis chapter 5. 

247
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,100
On the second day, the Bible 
says that God, parted the waters

248
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,900
below from the waters above, and
he put a space between the 

249
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:07,200
waters above and the waters 
below. 

250
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Now, again, I don't want you to 
misunderstand me. 

251
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,300
I'm not going to debate on this 
issue because we don't know for 

252
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,700
sure how the world was there. 
That world is gone. 

253
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:19,000
But to me this makes sense and 
so I'm going to share it with 

254
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,600
you because of what the Bible 
says notice now no rain and a 

255
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,800
Mist watered the ground. 
Now think about this God 

256
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,900
separated the waters, from the 
waters, and he put a space in 

257
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,700
between there. 
The Waters from the waters, and 

258
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:40,500
he put a space in there. 
Now, if that if that is true, if

259
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,800
we understand that correctly, he
must have put what might be 

260
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,800
referred to as a water canopy. 
Of vapor water canopy and of 

261
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,300
course, this would have caused 
several things. 

262
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,500
During the time of Noah, in 
fact, it would have had a 

263
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:57,000
greenhouse effect. 
You know, we talk we hear so 

264
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,100
much about the warming and we 
hear so much about the whole no 

265
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,900
Zone. 
Well, we don't know that that 

266
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:07,100
doesn't need to be there. 
Now, we can people can surmise 

267
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,800
and hypothesize, all they want, 
but we don't know why it's 

268
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800
there. 
Maybe it's there because we're 

269
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,800
sprayed aerosol, but maybe 
chirico's, God, put it there and

270
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
maybe that's part. 
Out of the system that's left 

271
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,100
over from from this system. 
Before the flood, we just don't 

272
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:24,200
know notice. 
Now, if this was true, there 

273
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,800
would not have been any rain. 
If this water canopy circled the

274
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Earth it would have caused a 
greenhouse effect. 

275
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,300
There would have been no hot 
desert Bakersfield's, it had 

276
00:16:36,308 --> 00:16:38,200
been uniform. 
There would have been no 

277
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,700
freezing, Antarctica, or North 
Pole. 

278
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,200
There would have been no ice 
caps. 

279
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
In fact, you can read in 
National Geographic, which is it

280
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,700
evolutionary? 
Jean. 

281
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,100
But they can't explain why they 
found those woolly mammoths in 

282
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,300
Siberia. 
That's frozen year-round. 

283
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,700
In fact, those woolly mammoths 
were frozen so fast that there's

284
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,500
grass inside some of their 
tummies that never digested. 

285
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,800
That's pretty remarkable. 
Now if this were true, if this 

286
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,900
canopy circled, the Earth that 
would have been a vegetation 

287
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:09,700
area. 
In fact, the whole world would 

288
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:11,800
have been the vegetation area 
there would have been much more 

289
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,200
food and much more vegetation 
for consumption. 

290
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,500
There would have been no severe 
winds and so on. 

291
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:25,200
In fact, these rays that cause 
us to age and damage us and 

292
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,700
cause cause skin cancer that is 
many of them would have been 

293
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,700
reflected by the water canopy. 
And so that could have even that

294
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,100
could even be a sinus to how, or
why they live longer before the 

295
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,300
flood. 
Well, the Bible says that 

296
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:46,800
everybody's going to die. 
Hebrews 11:7, by faith, Noah 

297
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
being divinely, warned of 
things, not yet. 

298
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,500
Seen, you see, God said it. 
Not had not rained. 

299
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,900
He watered the world in a 
different way before the flood 

300
00:17:55,900 --> 00:18:00,300
Noah had not seen it rain but he
believed God, enacted by faith 

301
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,100
in second Peter 3:6 by which the
world. 

302
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,900
That then existed Parish being 
flooded with water. 

303
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,900
Now, the world changed After the
flood, there was a rainbow 

304
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,800
Before the Flood. 
There was no rainbow After the 

305
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,800
flood. 
There were clouds Before the 

306
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,300
Flood. 
The Bible does not speak of 

307
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:26,800
clouds. 
So, This probably our this is 

308
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,300
one of the solutions. 
Possibly, that could meet the 

309
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:33,700
text a water vapor canopy 
circling the earth. 

310
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,400
Now let's talk a little bit 
about the causes of the flood. 

311
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,100
We talked about the the world 
that no new. 

312
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,600
We've talked about the weather, 
no one knew. 

313
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,400
Now we're going to talk about 
the causes of the flood. 

314
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,600
If I were to go around the room 
to set this morning, think to 

315
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,400
yourself what would you say 
caused the flood nearly, 

316
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,100
everybody says why the rain 
wrong answer. 

317
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,500
It flooded for 150 days, but the
rain only lasted 40 days. 

318
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,100
Now the rains contributed but 
again the waters Rose for 150 

319
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,200
days, the rain stopped after 40 
days. 

320
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,700
See we don't we haven't always 
studied at like we should have. 

321
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,900
Let's look at what it says in 
the six hundredth year of Noah's

322
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:18,800
life. 
In the second month, the 

323
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,400
seventeenth day of the month on 
that day, all The Fountains of 

324
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,600
the great deep were broken up 
and the windows of Heaven were 

325
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,900
open. 
So the first thing that happened

326
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,100
was The Fountains of the great 
deep were broken up now. 

327
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:35,500
Think about this, the crust of 
the Earth was literally torn in 

328
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,300
two. 
You talk about earthquakes, 

329
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:42,200
water gushed from the Us of the 
earth into the sky, possibly 

330
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,900
shooting hundreds of feet into 
the air, as this water gushed 

331
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,800
out. 
And the Bible says that the same

332
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,200
time, the windows of Heaven were
opened it rain now, and the rain

333
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,100
was on the earth, 40 days and 40
nights. 

334
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:59,300
It might have even appeared to 
rain after that. 

335
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:01,200
But God says it finished after 
that. 

336
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:04,100
But those Fountains of the great
deep continue to gush out and 

337
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:06,400
obviously they shot hundreds of 
feet in the air all over the 

338
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,100
Earth and it would appear like 
in many places, it was still 

339
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:14,300
raining So here you have the ark
floating on this water, and of 

340
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,900
course, the higher, the waters 
would rise higher, the ark would

341
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:20,300
reach. 
John Whitcomb, said, stupendous 

342
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:24,200
upheaval of ocean basins 
accompanied by the collapse of 

343
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,500
the pre-flood Vapor canopy that 
Global terrarium. 

344
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,500
That provided an even surface 
temperature in a rainless world 

345
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:36,200
for 1560 or 56 years. 
Precipitated back to the Earth 

346
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,900
from which it had been lifted up
on the second day of creation 

347
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:42,800
week and join those. 
Is rising Waters from below 

348
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,700
notice. 
Now, The Fountains of the great 

349
00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:47,300
deep were, broke it up. 
The floodgates of Heaven were 

350
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:49,300
opened, there were many 
volcanoes. 

351
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,800
In fact, probably hundreds of 
volcanoes, there were 

352
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,800
earthquakes, there was lightning
and thunder. 

353
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,700
There was static electricity in 
the air. 

354
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:01,000
There was rain, there was 
freezing rain, there was water 

355
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,800
gushing from the sitter of the 
earth. 

356
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,900
Now, that's the flood. 
Now, there's no way we can 

357
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:08,800
really understand what all that 
means without thinking about it 

358
00:21:08,808 --> 00:21:11,700
a little bit. 
So, what I want to do is I want 

359
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:14,100
to take you back to the island 
of Krakatoa. 

360
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:18,100
Now, if you have a computer, all
you have to do is type in 

361
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:19,300
Crockett. 
Oh, there are hundreds of 

362
00:21:19,308 --> 00:21:22,200
websites about this about this 
volcano. 

363
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,100
It occurred in 1883 it's quite 
remarkable because after this 

364
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,800
blast, it frosted on July 4th in
Midland, Texas. 

365
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,100
I don't know if you've ever been
in, Midland, Texas in July, but 

366
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,300
you think Bakersfield's hot, you
ought to be there. 

367
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:43,800
Now this is what the islands 
looked like before the flood, I 

368
00:21:43,808 --> 00:21:46,400
mean, before the volcano 
eruption, and this is what they 

369
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,500
look like afterwards. 
I want to show you where this is

370
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:55,700
at this is in Indonesia, in fact
before this island blew up, it 

371
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,200
actually connected Malaysia and 
Indonesia. 

372
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,500
Right here. 
You can see over here, this is 

373
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:04,000
where I live in Zambia and of 
course, here's Australia down 

374
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,400
here in China. 
And Egypt and so forth. 

375
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,600
So here in Indonesia volcanoes, 
right in here there's a little 

376
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,000
bigger picture show, you kind of
what it looks like today. 

377
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:22,100
Now on August 26 1883 Krakatoa 
begin a series of explosions. 

378
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,900
Now they were big explosions. 
In fact, these explosions caused

379
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:30,600
a black cloud go into the sky 
for 17 miles. 

380
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,700
But they were not anything 
compared to what's going to 

381
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:37,100
happen the next day. 
Now, what happened was about 

382
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:41,300
10:00 a.m. the next morning. 
It got very quiet like the Calm 

383
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:46,300
before storm and down below the 
surface of the ocean. 

384
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:51,700
These previous explosions the 
day before had caused a crack in

385
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:57,200
the volcanoes crust and ocean 
water. 

386
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,800
Now, this morning was pouring 
into that volcano. 

387
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,400
Now, this is something that 
would have happened hundreds of 

388
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,200
times in the flood. 
And this is what caused this 

389
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,000
volcano to be. 
The be the biggest, modern-day 

390
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,700
explosion that we know about it 
is a thousand times bigger than 

391
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:16,500
the bombs we dropped on 
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

392
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:18,700
You think about that? 
They just literally did those 

393
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,900
atomic bombs, destroyed those 
cities but this explosion was a 

394
00:23:21,908 --> 00:23:25,400
thousand times bigger than those
explosions. 

395
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,900
Ocean water poured into this 
side, net directly into the 

396
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:33,500
heart of the volcano. 
And of course I remember. 

397
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,600
Again I want to emphasize this 
is what happened. 

398
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,800
During the flood Krakatoa 
literally blew up a column of 

399
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,900
rock and fireworks hurled into 
the atmosphere. 

400
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:47,500
In fact, it went 50 miles in the
stratosphere and remained there 

401
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:51,000
for at least two years, 
scientists have recorded did 

402
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,600
record at that time that they 
ask in the dirt and the dust 

403
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,600
circle the Earth twice. 
And it changed temperatures all 

404
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,200
over the globe, it caused it to 
snow in July and Indiana. 

405
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,200
I think about that. 
It's hot in Indiana to in the 

406
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,800
summertime but the ash in the 
dirt, reflected the sunlight, so

407
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,900
much. 
Just from this one volcano, it 

408
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:18,800
actually affected globally. 
The weather just one volcano 

409
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:21,800
Now, if one volcano could do 
that, what do you think? 

410
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,700
A thousand volcanoes can do like
that? 

411
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,100
We can have an ice age. 
You see that's probably what the

412
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,900
Ice Age came from, and that's 
probably why. 

413
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,500
There was an ice age for quite a
while. 

414
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:35,400
After the flood was it took time
for that Ash to get out of the 

415
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,200
sky. 
And just a few seconds, this 

416
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,800
2600 foot Mountain literally 
exploded into bits and pieces 

417
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,100
and went into the air. 
Now dirt and Ash was to circle 

418
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:51,300
the globe, two years, Greg and 
cooling globally. 

419
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,500
The blast Was Heard 3,000 miles 
away. 

420
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,500
That's like somebody sitting in 
San Francisco, hearing a bomb, 

421
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,800
go off in New York. 
That's incredible. 

422
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,600
That's the kind of explosion 
we're talking about. 

423
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:09,900
The heavy fall of volcanic, ash 
extended, as far as far away as 

424
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:15,700
900 miles, the tidal flooding 
occurred as far away as 4500. 

425
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:19,200
If you go and search this out 
you'll find that a large ship 

426
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,600
was lifted up out of the ocean 
and carried up over this island 

427
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,300
into the center and drop. 
I mean, you see the pictures of 

428
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:30,200
it, it's amazing. 
The tidal flooding was 

429
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,200
incredible, hundreds of people 
died from the tidal, flooding 

430
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,800
hundreds of miles away. 
From the actual explosion, 13, 

431
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,700
cubic miles of material was shot
into the atmosphere and 

432
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,100
continued to circle the Earth. 
Now, this is what we're talking 

433
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:45,700
about when we're talking about 
the flood. 

434
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,400
We're talking about mud and 
slush and dirt and Ash, we're 

435
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,100
talking about all these things 
being scattered all over the 

436
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,600
Earth. 
Explosions water gushing out 

437
00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:03,200
water falling from the sky. 
Layers of dirt being laid down. 

438
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:05,800
All over the surface of the 
Earth. 

439
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,900
That's why you can go in to 
Colorado and get up on that tall

440
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:15,500
mountain and find shells. 
You see because water covered 

441
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:17,200
the whole earth. 
These shells came from the 

442
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,000
ocean. 
We know that no creature lives 

443
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,700
on top of that mountain, that 
comes from the shells. 

444
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:27,700
You can find in the Permian 
Basin in Midland, you could find

445
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,900
seahorses. 
Well, those are ocean creatures.

446
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:34,800
Where do they come from? 
That came from the flood. 

447
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:40,200
The flood changed the world. 
Stopping Envision. 

448
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,300
Imagine what it must have been 
like on that boat that barge 

449
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:47,900
with no Rudder, no, no 
Direction. 

450
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:52,900
No, no sense of going just 
floating in the surviving. 

451
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:56,700
This is the flood. 
This is the. 

452
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,600
These are the things that 
happened during that flood. 

453
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,600
And let's talk a little bit 
about the effects of the flood. 

454
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Already, I think probably you're
thinking about some effects. 

455
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:10,900
You know, one thing that comes 
to my mind is the Grand Canyon. 

456
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,200
Here you have hundreds of, you 
can look down at the Grand 

457
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Canyon. 
I don't care how many degrees, 

458
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,100
or how many symbols of guy has 
on his name on the wall. 

459
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400
There's no way he'll ever 
convince me to Colorado. 

460
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:28,000
River made that Canyon those 
layers were laid down there in 

461
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000
the flood and that's why all 
evolutionary scientists want to 

462
00:27:33,008 --> 00:27:37,800
say the flood was a local flood.
But the Bible is contradictory 

463
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,100
to that. 
If you believe the Bible, you 

464
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:41,200
can't believe it's a local 
flood, because that's not what 

465
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,600
it says. 
In Genesis chapter 7 and All 

466
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Flesh. 
Died that moved on the earth, 

467
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,600
birds and cattle and beasts. 
And every creeping thing that 

468
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,200
creeps on the earth and every 
man and in whose nostrils was 

469
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,800
the breath of the spirit of 
Life. 

470
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,300
All that was on the dry land 
died. 

471
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,000
And you think about that God 
does not mess with sin. 

472
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800
We think because we can fool the
preacher or we can fool the 

473
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Brethren or we can keep 
Knowledge from my mother and dad

474
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,300
or we can keep something from 
our wives or husbands, We think 

475
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:16,000
we can get by long as we don't 
get caught. 

476
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:17,800
I don't understand. 
Church leaders. 

477
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,400
That pretend and live double 
standards live double eyes. 

478
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,500
I'll never understand that. 
I guess I'm just naive and 

479
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,900
ignorant, I don't know but I 
don't understand that. 

480
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,300
God, it doesn't mess with us. 
I'm telling you, he got so fed 

481
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:37,600
up with, seeing he got. 
So fed up with wickedness. 

482
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
He got so fed up with double 
standards that he wiped out the 

483
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,200
world and I'm telling you, he'll
deal with us the same way if we 

484
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,200
keep sending our life, Now, he 
don't want us to be lost. 

485
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,800
In fact for God, so loved the 
world that he gave his only 

486
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,200
begotten son that whosoever 
believeth in him should not 

487
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,500
perish but have everlasting 
life. 

488
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Well, I'm telling you. 
You got said in your life, 

489
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,700
you're going to pay for it, if 
you keep it there and you die in

490
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:15,300
that sin. 
All that was on the dry land 

491
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,200
died. 
So he destroyed all living 

492
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:25,000
things which were on the face of
the ground, both Man and Cattle 

493
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,300
creeping thing and bird of the 
air, they were destroyed from 

494
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:32,000
the earth, only Noah, and those 
who were with him in the ark 

495
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,400
remain alive, bodies animals, 
all Air breathers floating in 

496
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,100
the water. 
For over a year. 

497
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:47,600
Now the flood was on the earth. 
40 days, the waters increased 

498
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,200
and lifted up the ark and it 
Rose high above the Earth, the 

499
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,100
waters prevailed, that means the
waters, continue to rise and 

500
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:58,700
greatly increased on the earth 
and the Ark moved above out on 

501
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,800
the surface of the waters, and 
the waters prevailed exceedingly

502
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,500
on the earth, and all this to do
this, all the high heels under 

503
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,600
the whole heavens. 
We're covered. 

504
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,500
The waters prevailed 15 cubits 
upward about 22 feet and the 

505
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:21,500
mountains were covered. now, I 
want to, I want to ask you this 

506
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:27,500
question, what would it take To 
cause a cataclysmic flood. 

507
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,400
You know, everybody here 
probably is driven with the San 

508
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,500
Joaquin, Valley into the 
Sacramento Valley, Soul those 

509
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,100
Sutter Buttes. 
Haven't you, you think about 

510
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:39,400
that, the tallest Sutter Buttes 
about 2,900 feet? 

511
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:46,200
Suppose that, that one high heel
was covered with water for a 

512
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,500
week. 
You think any of us would 

513
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,400
survive in Bakersfield? 
No way. 

514
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:55,300
In fact, this whole valley will 
be would be gone because the 

515
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:59,300
forcing, the crushing force of 
gravity would demand an equal 

516
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
depth, all over the planet, all 
over the valley, that's all it 

517
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,100
would take. 
Just one flood over one Hill 

518
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:14,100
2,900 feet. 
For one week, well we're going 

519
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:16,700
to talking about a flood over 
one Hill. 

520
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:22,100
The Bible says that all the high
hills were covered for months. 

521
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:27,200
It to a minimal depth of 22 
feet. 

522
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,100
The higher men, climb the 
higher, the water Rose, Now, 

523
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:35,300
that's frightening. 
Cuz this is the God we're 

524
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:40,100
talking about now, he's merciful
and he loves us but he is not 

525
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:45,000
going to tolerate sin. 
The same one that gave his son 

526
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
to die upon the cross has left 
us the symbol of the flood and 

527
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,100
remind us that punishment is 
coming to those who reject his 

528
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:56,600
word. 
Jesus said he that rejecteth me 

529
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:59,800
and receiveth, not my words at 
the one that judgeth him, the 

530
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,400
words that I have spoken. 
The same shall judge him in the 

531
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:11,600
last day, John 12:48 We're 
talking about the effects of the

532
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,600
flood. 
In Genesis chapter 8, the Bible 

533
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,300
says, then God remembered Noah 
now, that doesn't mean that God 

534
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,200
had forgotten know that word. 
Remember Remembered in the 

535
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,300
Hebrew. 
Simply means that he now has 

536
00:32:24,300 --> 00:32:28,200
finished his task of destroying 
the Earth, and now, he's turning

537
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,200
his attention. 
He's been with him all along, 

538
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:33,200
but now he's turning his 
attention to Noah and getting 

539
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,700
rid of those flood waters. 
So that knowing his family can 

540
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:43,500
leave the arc. 
So then God remembered Noah and 

541
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:45,800
every living thing. 
And all animals, that were with 

542
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,700
him in the ark, and God made a 
wind to pass over the earth and 

543
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:54,100
the waters subsided. 
But now, obviously Waters 

544
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,500
weren't enough. 
Look at this, The Fountains of 

545
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:59,500
the deep and the windows of 
Heaven were also stopped and the

546
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,600
rain from heaven, where it was 
restrained. 

547
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:04,200
And the waters receded 
continually from the earth at 

548
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,000
the end of the hundred and fifty
days. 

549
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:12,400
The waters decreased Now, here's
a passage of divine commentary 

550
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,700
on what he thought about. 
In Genesis, this tells us what 

551
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:17,100
happened. 
How God really got rid of the 

552
00:33:17,108 --> 00:33:19,400
water. 
Now certainly he calls the wind 

553
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,800
to blow and that helped. 
But notice what it says, Psalm 

554
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,400
104 verses 5 through 10. 
I'm reading from The New 

555
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,400
American Standard Bible, he 
established the Earth upon its 

556
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,800
foundations so that it will not 
totter forever and ever talk 

557
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,300
about the creation verse 6, talk
about the flood. 

558
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:39,500
You covered it with the If that 
is the ocean. 

559
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,100
As with a garment, the waters 
were standing above the 

560
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:44,700
mountains. 
Now, look at this, at you 

561
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:47,100
rebuke. 
They fled at the sound of your 

562
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:48,400
thunder. 
They hurried away. 

563
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,500
How did they do that? 
Look at what he says the 

564
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:54,200
mountains rolls. 
The valley sitting down to the 

565
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,200
place, which you established for
them. 

566
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,900
You see, during the process of 
the Earth's crust breaking 

567
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:04,700
mountains, begin to rise. 
And at the conclusion of the 

568
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:08,800
flood God cause the mountains to
rise high and he calls The 

569
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Valleys to sink down. 
Did you know that near the 

570
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,199
Philippine Islands? 
There's a trench in the ocean 

571
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:17,800
and it's seven miles deep. 
In fact, it's so deep that we 

572
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,199
will have the technology really 
to go down in there and we're 

573
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,500
not for sure. 
What's in there, it's too deep. 

574
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,100
The pressures are too high, you 
see, God, cause that trench to 

575
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:29,199
take away the flood. 
And now you think about it the 

576
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:34,600
Rocky Mountains rose up? 
The ocean Basin near the 

577
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,699
Philippines. 
Sunk down here, all this water 

578
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:40,000
and the sludge, and this mud, 
and these layers and layers of 

579
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:44,500
sand and dirt. 
And Ash and dust rushed down the

580
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,900
from the Colorado River, from 
the Arizona Grand, Canyon Basin.

581
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:54,100
And in a matter of a few weeks 
at the most, a few months, the 

582
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:57,300
Grand Canyon forms. 
That's God's doing. 

583
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:01,800
You see the world we live in? 
Now, it's not God's creation and

584
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,600
we look at the Grand Canyon. 
And we think what a marvelous, 

585
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:09,800
what a marvelous piece of the 
globe we're able to enjoy. 

586
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,700
I want to tell you something, 
that's part of the curse. 

587
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,600
You think part of the curse is 
beautiful what what what do you 

588
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,500
think his creation was? 
We don't know. 

589
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
We don't know, because the world
we live in is cursed. 

590
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:31,800
It's been changed. 
Because of sin. 

591
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,500
The mountains, Rose Valley, shut
down to the place, which you 

592
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:39,200
established for them yet. 
You said a boundary that they 

593
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,000
may not pass over so that they 
will not return to cover the 

594
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,100
Earth. 
So he promised you remember 

595
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:48,300
Abraham or Noah that he would 
not destroy the Earth again with

596
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:51,500
one of the world that then was 
perished, the mountains grew 

597
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:56,300
higher, the valley, sunk deeper.
The ecologic system was changed 

598
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,200
changed forever. 
You know what's interesting? 

599
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,700
The whole Bible looks to the 
flood. 

600
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,700
Hundreds of passages. 
These are just a few over 100 

601
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:09,400
times every Rider. 
As far as I know, looks back to 

602
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,400
the flood in some way, maybe in 
figure or in point whatever over

603
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,000
and over again, you read about 
the flood and its significance. 

604
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:22,200
You can't underestimate the 
power of God in the flood. 

605
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,100
And I want to tell you 
something, when you think about 

606
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:25,700
the flood, it's a terrifying 
thing. 

607
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:29,400
It helps us to understand. 
Yes. 

608
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,000
God loves us. 
Yes. 

609
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,400
Noah was extended Grace. 
But God side is is is full of 

610
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,100
grace and at the same time it's 
full of Terror. 

611
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,000
That's why Paul said knowing 
therefore the terror of the 

612
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,600
lord, we persuade men for. 
We must all appear before the 

613
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,100
Judgment seat of Christ. 
That every one may receive the 

614
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:53,900
things done in his body whether 
you done good or bad. 

615
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:58,300
Now, you may forget your 
problems but Lord, don't forget 

616
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:02,000
them. 
And someday. 

617
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,400
We're all going to give kale. 
And pretending doesn't help. 

618
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:14,600
Because the only ones to see 
this us me when I pretend it's 

619
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,100
me and it's deceived. 
Now, Terry men never know. 

620
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,900
He made, I even go to his death 
bed thinking of whatever he 

621
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:27,400
thinks of me, good or bad. 
Because he really don't know, 

622
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:32,400
but God knows. 
And I answered him. 

623
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:38,300
And so, do you? 
Well, Noah's flood truly does 

624
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:42,500
point to the end of the world 
Peter says, but the day of the 

625
00:37:42,508 --> 00:37:46,900
Lord will come as a thief in the
night, in which the heavens will

626
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:50,400
pass away with a great noise and
the elements will melt with 

627
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,300
fervent heat both the earth and 
the works that are in, it will 

628
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:57,800
be burned up. 
Therefore since all these things

629
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,600
will be dissolved, what manner 
of persons ought you to be in, 

630
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,600
holy conduct and godliness, 
looking for, and hastening the 

631
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,200
coming of the day of God, which 
of because of which, the heavens

632
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,300
will be dissolved being on fire 
and the elements will melt with 

633
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:12,700
fervent heat. 
Now, look at what he says, 

634
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:17,900
nevertheless. 
Nevertheless we according to his

635
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:23,000
promise, look for new heavens 
and a new Earth in which 

636
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:26,800
righteousness. 
Dwells now, today, I don't know 

637
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,600
the minds of those who are 
present in this assembly. 

638
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,900
But I know this. 
The flood. 

639
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,600
It's for sure. 
And this reminds us that God's 

640
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,200
coming back and his son is going
to be the judge for. 

641
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,900
He tells us in Acts 17 that he's
appointed his son to be the 

642
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:48,900
judge. 
And all of us are going to be 

643
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,400
there. 
Every person from Adam to the 

644
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,500
last breather. 
That is living when he comes. 

645
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,800
The Bible says will be changed 
those who are alive will be 

646
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,900
changed into their Immortal 
bodies. 

647
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:04,100
Those who have died will be 
resurrected and they'll come 

648
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:07,700
forth from their graves, in 
their, with their new bodies. 

649
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:13,900
And Jesus says that, on that 
day, it'll be like a Shepherd 

650
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,400
device, divide sheep from goats.
You know, we have this idea that

651
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,300
we can get in judgment and we 
can get us out Lawyer, find some

652
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:22,800
loophole. 
I'm going to tell you something 

653
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,300
Judgment Day is not trial day 
trials right now. 

654
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:32,300
We're on trial right now and the
life that you live. 

655
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,200
When you take your last breath, 
is the end of the trial? 

656
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,000
How long does it take to tell 
this is a golden? 

657
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,300
This is a sheep. 
That's the way it'll be on that 

658
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:45,600
day. 
He's going to separate the goats

659
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,600
from the Sheep. 
Those sheep. 

660
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:49,900
He's going to say, come on to 
me. 

661
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,600
Come on to me. 
He says, you've been Faithful 

662
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,700
over. 
A few things. 

663
00:39:57,900 --> 00:39:59,800
I will make you ruler over many 
things. 

664
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,500
Enter thou into the joy of thy 
Lord. 

665
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,600
Are you ready? 
That's the question. 

666
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:10,300
Are you ready today? 
Because when I flood comes, it's

667
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:13,600
going to be too late. 
That flood will not be with 

668
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,900
water. 
It'll be a fire. 

669
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,400
Paul says that when Jesus 
appears, they'll be a shout. 

670
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
They'll be a trumpet. 
Blow will hear the voice of the 

671
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,500
Archangel and we shall meet him 
in the air. 

672
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,000
Are you ready? 
Jesus said come unto me all ye 

673
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,700
that labor. 
Whatever it is in your life. 

674
