1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,500 Not when we talk about the flood, we need to put the 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,000 situation in context. It's only been about 1656 years 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,900 since the creation of the universe. 4 00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:16,900 That's of course approximate, but that kind of gives us an 5 00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:20,600 idea of how much time that has passed by now. 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,900 It tells us in the scripture that there have been ten 7 00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:29,200 Generations from Adam to Noah. And of course, you really need 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,500 to put that in perspective because many of the Patriarchs 9 00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:38,400 lived to be over 900, even Noah himself was 600 at the time that 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,700 the flood Came Upon the Earth. And so there's a very, it's very 11 00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,400 close. Close, even though it's 10 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,800 Generations. The timeframe from the creation 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,900 is very, very close. Not that it's not as far as you 14 00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:56,100 as you think because of the ages that these people lived. 15 00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:01,400 And so know I had a very close connection with the grandfather 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,300 of us all and that's Adam. It's possible that he knew Seth 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,600 and it's possible that he was born during the final years of 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,700 Seth. Now, when God, created the 19 00:01:13,708 --> 00:01:16,300 universe, First, he created a perfect world. 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,100 He created a world that was matured full-grown when he 21 00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:22,500 created man. He gave him the ability to 22 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,700 reproduce. He created man full-grown the 23 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,000 first day that he was born. How old was man? 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,700 The first day, he was created one hour after his creation. 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,500 Well, it was one hour old, but how old did he appear? 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,100 You see. Did he look like he's 30? 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,700 They look like he's 20 because he was created full-grown. 28 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:50,300 Absolutely perfect in every way now primitive man. 29 00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:54,600 What does that make? You think of primitive man? 30 00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,000 When you hear the term primitive, man? 31 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,200 Most of us if we haven't really thought about it. 32 00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:07,100 Think of a caveman that can hardly walk and maybe some eight 33 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:11,500 white figures, but you see we're talking about primitive, man. 34 00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:14,100 This is the first man. This is no man. 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,100 Adam and the Bible says that he was created by God with perfect 36 00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:24,500 everything, he was perfect. Even in intelligence, his mind 37 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,000 was perfect, he was created with much knowledge. 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Now, how much knowledge God chose to put in the Adam? 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000 I don't know, but I'm sure he had the ability to make a fire. 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 The first day, he was created. He had the ability, the Bible 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,400 says to bring the animals, at least the domesticated animals, 42 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,900 the animals, that would be domesticated in the future. 43 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,400 He had the ability to bring those animals into his presence. 44 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,800 God caused them to come into His presence and he had the ability 45 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000 to name each one and then he not only could name them but he can 46 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200 remember the names that he gave. Now, some of you have told me 47 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,300 your name and I can't remember it 5 minutes later. 48 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,900 But Adam was able to name these creatures and then he was able 49 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,900 to remember his intelligence, his intellect was perfect and 50 00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:14,300 the technology and the information that man had in the 51 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,800 beginning, we just don't know, it's been lost, it was lost in 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,500 the flood. So God, created a perfect world, 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,300 a sinless world, a world where there was no death, but of 54 00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:29,800 course Satan came on the scene and it was not all that long. 55 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,800 Probably less than 100 years and Satan came on the The scene and 56 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,900 the Bible says that Satan deceived Eve and the man also 57 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:42,600 partook of that forbidden fruit and thus the fall into the 58 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,400 world's sin entered the world. Now the Bible says that evil 59 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Communications or evil Manor, evil ways of life, corrupt, good 60 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,900 morals. And so we have this evil, the 61 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,700 sin that enters the world and it feels the World. 62 00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:09,400 In fact just ten Generations at the time of Noah's life when he 63 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,400 first evidently heard of the flood, he must have been about 64 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,200 four hundred and eighty years old. 65 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,700 So by the time that no is 480 years old, he has no children, 66 00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,400 he has no family and the Bible tells us that the Earth had 67 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,900 become very, very corrupt. In fact, it has become so 68 00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,300 corrupt. That God decreed, he's going to 69 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:30,900 destroy it. Now, what we need to know, or 70 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,900 what we need to remember is that there have I've always been 71 00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,000 there. Always will be until the end of 72 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,500 time. In fact, that's what the parable 73 00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:41,300 of the tares teaches in Matthew Chapter 13 and teaches us that 74 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,400 there are, is going to be of a group of good. 75 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,900 There's going to be a group of evil, all the way to the end of 76 00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:48,800 time. They'll never be a time when 77 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,600 there are both groups represented. 78 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,000 Now, obviously, the good are always minority as far as the 79 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,300 numerator as far as the numbers are concerned, but there have 80 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:01,700 always been men who were following God and men who are 81 00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,000 following after. Themselves. 82 00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:07,000 Now, it's interesting, when you read the first five chapters of 83 00:05:07,008 --> 00:05:11,200 the Book of Genesis because it gives us a genealogy of the two 84 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,700 lines, the descendants of Adam through Seth and the descendants 85 00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,200 of Adam through cane. But it's always been intriguing 86 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,500 to me because it only gives us Seven Generations from cane that 87 00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:29,800 is from Adam to laymen. The genealogy ends. 88 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:34,500 Now the genealogy of Seth's decisions continues on but 89 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,100 there's probably a reason for that. 90 00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:41,000 You see the Book of Genesis, yes, it is a book of History. 91 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,400 It gives us some history facts, but it was not written as a book 92 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,100 of History. It was written to give us what 93 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,200 we need to know about the scheme of redemption, to develop the 94 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,300 theme of The Bible, which of course, is the Redemption of 95 00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:54,600 man. And so there are lots of things 96 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,500 that are left out. There are lots of gaps, so to 97 00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,700 speak. Weak things that occurred or 98 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,500 happened that we don't need to know about it. 99 00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,900 We don't need to understand and we don't need information about 100 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:07,700 to develop the story that God intended. 101 00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:13,500 But now it's interesting because the Seventh Generation from Adam 102 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,200 through Seth was extremely different than the Seventh 103 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Generation from Adam who came. Now Enoch of course never died 104 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:31,100 but limit changed. God's will you know sometimes 105 00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,300 people have the idea that polygamy was something that was 106 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,200 always practiced. This is interesting. 107 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:42,300 Here we have seven generation its nearing the time of the 108 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,600 flood so probably at least a thousand years. 109 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,100 No man. As far as we know, has taken 110 00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:50,400 more than one wife. Now why do you suppose that is 111 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,700 the case? You see the case is the reason 112 00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,800 was because God intended relationships to be monogamous. 113 00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,100 That's the way he started it. We don't have the detailed 114 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:05,000 information about that but that's the way God wanted it. 115 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,900 That's the way God intended it. You know, we talked about David, 116 00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:12,000 we talk about Solomon, but when you read the words of Moses, you 117 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,700 find out that even the King was forbidden and taking many wives. 118 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,500 You see, they've, they've violated the Lord's plan when 119 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:24,100 they took more than one wife. And the point is God, under that 120 00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:29,500 old system under those times of the Patriarchs and the and the 121 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,200 time of Moses, he tolerated or allowed some things that he 122 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,000 didn't necessarily approve of. But now, I want you to notice 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,700 what happens here. The Bible says they claim it 124 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,300 took for himself, two wives. The name of one was adah and the 125 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:47,100 name of the second was Zilla so he took for the first time of 126 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,400 second wife. Now, look at what happens here 127 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,100 you have these two Godly or these two human lines, these two 128 00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:58,700 human genealogies, you have the sons of God, who followed in the 129 00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:03,300 steps of Seth, you have the sons of men who followed in the steps 130 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,400 of Cain and you know, of course, that Kate was the one that rose 131 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,200 up and killed his brother. Look at what it says here and as 132 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,500 Genesis 4 verse 26 and as for Seth to him, also, a son was 133 00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:21,400 born and he named him Enoch. Then men began to call on the 134 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,700 name of the Lord. And the point is they obeyed the 135 00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:28,000 voice of the Lord in spite of that other line, in spite of 136 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000 that other Godless line. There are men who were following 137 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,900 the plan of God, who were walking according to the 138 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:39,299 dictates, Takes of the almighty, but the generation of Labor, 139 00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:42,700 tins with the 7. And it says that Enoch walked 140 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:48,800 with God. Now, look at this, the reason I 141 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,600 don't know what happens to the slides got deleted. 142 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,500 Looks like. The reason that God destroyed 143 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:59,300 the Earth was because this Godly line chose to marry. 144 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,500 The Godless Lon, it was unscriptural marriage that 145 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,200 caused the world to be destroyed. 146 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,000 If you think about that, some people say ha didn't matter who 147 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,500 you married, that matter if you marry somebody the church, I'm 148 00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:17,800 going to tell you something. Not everybody in the church is 149 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,800 fit to be married. But if you go out there in the 150 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,300 world and selected select your spouse, you're asking for 151 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,800 trouble. Now, if you've already done 152 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,200 that, I'm not talking to you. You can't change. 153 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,700 What what's in the past. In fact, after you've done an 154 00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,800 act, there's no way you can go back and undo it. 155 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,100 But the point is our young people need to think about this 156 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,300 because this is what destroyed the world think about it. 157 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,500 It is starting the Earth. Everything upon the Earth was 158 00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:54,900 destroyed man. And Beast because of these 159 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:59,600 unscriptural, marriage has Well, dog warns man that the day is 160 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,100 coming when an end to all this is going to occur, God warned 161 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,600 humankind that there's no longer going to be Mercy or grace 162 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,700 extended in fact, Jude's reveals to us in verse 7, that his 163 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:16,300 grandfather that the grandfather of Noah preached about coming 164 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,700 judgment. The although that's not recorded 165 00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,800 in the Book of Genesis, the scripture tells us that Hebrews 166 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,900 chapter 11, Noah being divinely warned, prepared, an ark now 167 00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:28,800 knows that A preacher of righteousness God gave him the 168 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,300 message now, notice what happened here? 169 00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:38,500 We have the wrong idea about how God dealt with man and how God 170 00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:42,800 deals with men. He always dealt with man, 171 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,800 directly and indirectly. In other words, he never in any 172 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:56,000 age, dealt directly with every person, He always used a medium 173 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,800 to deal with the general populace. 174 00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,900 Now we have religions today that say that you have to have a holy 175 00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:05,400 spirit experience, you got to be dealt with directly to be saved, 176 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,400 but when you read and study the Bible from the beginning, to the 177 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,000 end, he never dealt directly with every individual. 178 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,700 In fact, he used mediums. Now, the gospel or the truth. 179 00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,300 That was proclaimed was always proclaimed first orally. 180 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:23,900 That's exactly what Paul was saying. 181 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,900 In Ephesians chapter 3, when he says, I received the gospel 182 00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,100 message that I delivered to you by Revelation. 183 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Now he delivered delivered it to them orally. 184 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,700 Now, he's writing to the Ephesians who are members of the 185 00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:42,900 church in the first century. The age that we know of as the 186 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,100 miraculous age and yet during the miraculous age, those at 187 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,800 Ephesus could not receive the message of God directly. 188 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,500 It was indirectly through a medium and that was through Paul 189 00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:57,900 the man. But of course, we know that this 190 00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:02,500 medium changed first, the message was revealed orally and 191 00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,700 that's what it was all the way back to the beginning. 192 00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,400 And then, of course, it was written down, at Paul said, in 193 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,600 Ephesians, that he had written down that he wrote in few words, 194 00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,700 the message that he had received directly. 195 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,900 And now they of course through the written text again through 196 00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:24,700 the medium of God's word received his message. 197 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,300 Now I want you to think about this. 198 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,100 This is the way it works today. This is the way it worked during 199 00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:33,200 the time of the flood, this is the way it worked. 200 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800 During the time of Moses, there was always a medium to the 201 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,700 general populace, only the Selected Few receded directly 202 00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:48,300 And now Paul says, I received directly, but your medium was 203 00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,500 me. In fact, Ephesians chapter 3 204 00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,000 verse 5. He says that the spirit reveal 205 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,600 it to the apostles and the prophets. 206 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,600 Now, in second Corinthians are rather First Corinthians, 207 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,300 chapter 4. Paul says, I want you to 208 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:05,800 understand something I have begun to transfer this Authority 209 00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:09,700 from myself and upon us. Now, Paul was an apostle of 210 00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,500 policy was a prophet. He Said I've begun to transfer 211 00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,400 this Authority from the man to the written page. 212 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,500 And he says I want you Caribbeans to learn not to think 213 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,700 above that which is written. This is in the first century you 214 00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:27,200 see. It was already in the process of 215 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,000 changing, the oil message of changing the direct message from 216 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000 the from the man to the written text. 217 00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:40,300 Now it's two thousand years. Since the apostles live, it's 218 00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:44,900 2,000 years since this book was finished and we no longer need 219 00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:49,900 God's message directly, but even when he did give a message 220 00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:52,700 directly, it was always through certain people. 221 00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,500 So we can't. We're going to find Revelation 222 00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:01,100 today other than what's written. Well, during that time, the 223 00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:07,700 message was given the Noah and Noah proclaim the truth that the 224 00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,100 end was coming. Now, it's interesting. 225 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:13,000 He began to build a boat, it really wasn't. 226 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,400 A boat was more like a barge, the Bible says, by whom also, he 227 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800 went and preached to the spirits in prison. 228 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:24,500 Now, the spirits were in prison, when Peter wrote this, but back 229 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:28,200 Yonder, when they were alive, they were not in Hades, they 230 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400 were not. In prison awaiting judgment, 231 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,100 they were alive, and they had a choice of repentance Jesus went 232 00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,800 and preached to those Spirits while they were alive through. 233 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Noah, he preached through the power of the spirit of Christ, 234 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,800 through the power of the Holy Spirit, he preached to them 235 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800 Jesus preached to them. Through Noah knows the preacher 236 00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:50,400 of righteousness, who formerly were disobedient. 237 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600 When Once the dividing, long-suffering, waited in the 238 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200 days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared in which a few 239 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,000 that is eight Souls were saved through water, God warned men, 240 00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:05,700 but men must act. God never demands or or forces 241 00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:07,700 us to serve. If he doesn't want robots, he 242 00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:10,000 wants us to follow him because we love him. 243 00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,500 So men must act. And what are they to do? 244 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:15,800 What are men going to do? Well, there are two lines of 245 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,500 people and it's pretty obvious what those two lines are going 246 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,700 to do. The people who have rejected, 247 00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:25,400 God, the people who are following after the way of Cain, 248 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,900 they're going to reject God. And at the end, there are those 249 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:32,000 who are going to follow God. Now it's interesting. 250 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,200 I want you to take note of this, it could be that there were six 251 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,200 billion people that lived on the face of the Earth at this time. 252 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Did you hear that six billion? It can be shown. 253 00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:56,700 Mathematically, that this was possible because of the age and 254 00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:01,100 the length of childbearing years that a man lived upon the earth 255 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,200 and the multiplication, it can be shown that there might have 256 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,700 been 6 billion people who live on the Earth. 257 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,500 Now, Noah preached to those people. 258 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:15,800 But listen seeing it's contagious. 259 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:19,300 See, this can take. That's why we're supposed to 260 00:16:19,308 --> 00:16:22,700 discipline someone. That's why when there's a 261 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:26,900 Morality In A congregation, you can eat a lot to Gold because if 262 00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,600 you do, it'll let in the whole world it'll affect everybody. 263 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,200 And you see is really an extension of God's grace that he 264 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,400 declared the words go in. There's a day coming when 265 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,100 judgments going to be here and everybody's going to die. 266 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,000 And actually in reality, we were to read the verse. 267 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,900 There were only eight Souls out of maybe six million people that 268 00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:58,100 were faithful. The whole world would have been 269 00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:02,400 engulfed in seein, and we would have been obliterated. 270 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,200 But God in his Mercy, extended extended. 271 00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:12,300 That hope. Now it came to pass when men 272 00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:14,800 began to multiply on the face of the Earth and daughters were 273 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,700 born to them. That the sons of God, saw the 274 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:19,700 daughters of men that they were beautiful and they took wives 275 00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,000 for themselves of whom all, they chose. 276 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000 So you have to, to send it's, as I said. 277 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,500 And the intermediary, this the Bible says, I will destroy man, 278 00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:30,400 whom I have created from the face of the Earth. 279 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,000 It's called such great evil, that God decreed, I'm going to 280 00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:36,200 destroy man, both man and Beast creeping things, and birds of 281 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,100 the air for, I'm sorry. Or I've grieved that I hit. 282 00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,300 Have made them man. Went to such a point, such a 283 00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:44,700 link he departed so far from God. 284 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,700 That God says, I'm going to call a halt to it. and we may think, 285 00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:52,900 That he is going to let us get by. 286 00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:58,200 We may think that it always be like it is now but I'm going to 287 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,800 tell you God's Own going to put up with the so long. 288 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,500 He's only going to allow us to continue in sin so long. 289 00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:07,700 He's going to deal with us individually. 290 00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:11,600 He's got a deal of deal with us as a people someday. 291 00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:15,200 It's all going to stop. It's all going to end. 292 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:17,300 Listen. He says, it's over. 293 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,900 He says and the Lord said, my spirit shall not strive with 294 00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:24,900 man, for ever or he is indeed flesh, yet his days shall be. 295 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,800 120 years. Now, some people try to take 296 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,600 that verse out of context. And applied in various ways. 297 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,900 For example, some people say well that was the short. 298 00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:37,500 That's why after the flood their lives were shortened. 299 00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,200 That's interesting because no himself lived to be over 900 and 300 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,700 his sons lived to be over 600 or 800 and Jacob who lived many 301 00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:50,800 generations later lived to be nearly 200 years old. and yet it 302 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:57,500 says here, 120 years Well, the point is God's declaring that 303 00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,000 I'm going to allow 120 more years to exist. 304 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,400 That's what he's saying. Now, this is this, this is 305 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,800 pretty intriguing to me, you know, we talked about families, 306 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:09,100 we talk about raising our families. 307 00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:13,300 We talked about that sir, the terrible Society, we live in. 308 00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,000 In the situation, we have to raise our families. 309 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,100 You I want you to think about this, Noah lives in a society 310 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,900 before his children are born, you see? 311 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,800 Because God makes this declaration is I already pointed 312 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,800 out when Noah is 480 years old and his first son was born when 313 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,400 he was five hundred. So before Noah's first son was 314 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,400 born, the imagination of man's heart was only evil continually 315 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,800 You know, my grandmother said a few years ago she said I'm so 316 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,700 thankful son, that I'm old. Because this world is so wicked. 317 00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,800 I wouldn't want to bring anybody in this world to live. 318 00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:10,500 Well, maybe she was wrong. What I want you to think about 319 00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,800 this. The world of nose so bad. 320 00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:19,000 Out of all the multitudes of people that lived on the earth, 321 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000 only eight. We're faithful at the end. 322 00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:27,700 What an amazing idea. What a what are they credible 323 00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,800 fault? And before his first born, son 324 00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:37,500 is chosen are born rather. God says, I'm going to destroy 325 00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:41,100 the world. Well, it's children are born. 326 00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,600 They marry and they remain faithful to God. 327 00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:48,000 Now, think about this. Noah went out to save his family 328 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,100 and he saved his world. Now you go study the life of a 329 00:20:53,108 --> 00:20:56,600 lot. Bible says he made himself a 330 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,300 judge in Sodom. The Bible says he said at the 331 00:21:01,308 --> 00:21:03,500 gate and that's worth a judge set. 332 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,500 That's where Court was held. The Bible says that he vexed, 333 00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:12,100 his righteous soul from day to day. 334 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,100 You see we we miss some of that story when we talk about law, we 335 00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,400 talk about him. Pitching his tent, toward Sodom 336 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,100 and so forth. But the Bible says he was a 337 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:27,300 righteous man. God said that not the preacher 338 00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:31,800 God said that. And the Bible says he wrecked, 339 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,000 he vexed his righteous Soul every day. 340 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,900 The Bible says that what tried to change society? 341 00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,900 Their listen to this. He tried to change society by 342 00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:51,900 getting involved in politics. He tried to change society by 343 00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,400 the coming apart of society. That's what a lot of the 344 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,200 religious World tells us what to do. 345 00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:04,200 Now, think about this lot, went out to save the world. 346 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:12,500 And he lost his family. He lost seven children, 347 00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,800 including his in-laws, his daughters in-laws. 348 00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:23,200 And his wife and really is to sort of you lost the ball. 349 00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:28,200 Lot went out to save his world and he lost his family and he 350 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,600 lost the world. No one has to save his family. 351 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,300 He not only saved his family, but he saved the world. 352 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,200 That's a powerful powerful statement. 353 00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:44,200 And all of us in this assembly to think about that. 354 00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:48,500 That little girl right there is in your hands, brother. 355 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,000 These children mrs. Sibley. 356 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,100 They're in our hands, the greatest blessing the greatest 357 00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:02,700 Hope we have for the future of the church is our children. 358 00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:06,800 Don't let the TV raise your kids. 359 00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:12,500 Don't let your life be consumed with other things. 360 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,500 Don't badmouth the leadership. show your children, that there's 361 00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:22,700 That there's wonderful Beauty at Living the Christian Life. 362 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,100 Show them that God is real in your life. 363 00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:30,900 So that when you grow up, he'll be real in theirs. 364 00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:39,200 Be like Noah, go out to save your family, no telling what 365 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,200 benefit you'll be. To the lord. 366 00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:48,200 Well, so much could be said, but I've got to move along. 367 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:53,700 God says, it's going to finish, but Noah found Grace in the eyes 368 00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:57,000 of the Lord notice. Now Noah did not even deserve to 369 00:23:57,008 --> 00:24:02,000 be saved. The difference between know and 370 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,100 the rest of the people is he had continued to reverence and 371 00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,500 respect God. The Bible says that he was just 372 00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,300 in perfect, that doesn't mean he was absolutely Justice or 373 00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:16,400 absolutely just like Jesus. He was justified because he 374 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,600 completed at off of the animal sacrifice and recognize that 375 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,900 God's word was truth. He was perfect because he had 376 00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:27,000 offered the blood of innocent victims to roll his sins forward 377 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,100 to the kind, that Jesus would come to this world because he 378 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,400 And obeyed the voice of God. He did not deserve salvation. 379 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,900 Listen, friends. There's nothing. 380 00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:41,200 We can do to earn salvation. The gift of Salvation, the 381 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,600 origin of Salvation is free. But if we want to attain that 382 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,500 salvation, if we want to enjoy that salvation, we have to pay 383 00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:54,300 for it. But whatever we pay is never 384 00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:58,300 enough. How can being baptized pay for 385 00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:02,200 the death of Jesus. How can eating Lord's Supper 386 00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:04,800 from one loaf and drinking from one cup? 387 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,700 How can that earn salvation? That's a bunch of hogwash you 388 00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:14,000 can get to things like that. It's because of God's grace. 389 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,800 That will be saved. Based upon a course, our 390 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,200 obedience is blessed will by faith. 391 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,300 Noah, you know, the word faith is not something better felt 392 00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:37,000 than toll Faith carries with it. The idea of evidence in fact, in 393 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000 the Book of Romans that is often been called The Book of Faith or 394 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,500 salvation by faith. Paul Begins the book in chapter 395 00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:51,300 1, verse 5, with an expression. He says, Idiots of the faith in 396 00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,500 man, interesting. Obedience of the faith. 397 00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:57,400 The book of faith says that Faith always includes obedience. 398 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,500 He ends the book of Romans in the last chapter, about the 399 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:04,800 third verse from the end with the same expression, The 400 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,800 Obedience of the faith you see. Faith is not something better 401 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,200 felt than told. Faith is based upon evidence. 402 00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:17,600 Whether it's written or whether it's oral, whether it's by 403 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,300 listening to preaching, whether it's my reading the Bible. 404 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:24,000 It's based upon evidence Faith does not start before the 405 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,600 evidence. He does not go beyond the 406 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,000 evidence. And the Bible says by faith, you 407 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000 see, God had given him the evidence being divinely warned 408 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,100 of things, not yet seen he'd never seen it rain on the earth. 409 00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,000 It probably had not rained on the earth till this day. 410 00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,900 Till that day. He didn't understand what it 411 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:51,500 meant to rain, but God warned him that it was going to rain. 412 00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,100 And that there was going to be a great flood. 413 00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,100 He prepared an ark for the saving of his household by which 414 00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:00,500 he condemned the world and became heir of Salvation. 415 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,000 Now Grace mixed with faith, followed by action, he was told 416 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000 to build an ark. Now, I want to say something 417 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,100 here because the are it's difficult to know the exact 418 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:16,500 dimensions of the Ark. What I'm going to do tonight is 419 00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,500 I'm going to use 18 inches. Now, of course, a spin is from 420 00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:25,500 the elbow to tall man here. Now, mine's not to you inches. 421 00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:31,700 I measure Terry's and Chris's. And there's is 18, inches are 422 00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:35,600 measured little m's. She's asleep, but I measured 423 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:38,300 little Emma's. And hers was 12 inches. 424 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:42,800 And so that's why it's not an exact science, it depending on 425 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,900 who the standard was by which they measure cubed. 426 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,800 And the ancient Babylonians had a cubit that was maybe like 427 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,500 twenty four inches. So, we've got a large difference 428 00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:59,300 here from 16 inches to about 24 inches. 429 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,400 It's possible. So, there's a big difference 430 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,900 here, but I'm going to use the 18 about that because that was 431 00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:11,700 the most logical. Length of the of the qubit and 432 00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:15,900 that'll help us understand how gigantic this box actually was. 433 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,700 Now if we use the smallest possible measurement of this 434 00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,700 giant barge, it would have been four hundred and thirty seven 435 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:29,800 feet long, 73 feet wide and 44 feet tall. 436 00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:37,900 Now it's interesting. You can see here this 747 In 437 00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:41,100 proportion to the to the barge gives you an idea. 438 00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:44,700 Now, these engines on here are big enough for a six foot man to 439 00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,900 stand in them. That's how big that plane is. 440 00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:51,300 Here's one of the largest dinosaurs and that's how big the 441 00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:55,400 boat is or that the barge is in proportion to that dinosaur. 442 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,300 Here's an elephant in a draft and we've all seen elephants and 443 00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:00,200 giraffes. And there's the proportion of 444 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,200 size scientifically to the size of the boat. 445 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,100 It's big. It's bigger than you can really 446 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:10,900 imagine. It's a gigantic, barge, it's not 447 00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:14,300 designed to sail. It's designed to flow now. 448 00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:17,100 No, other Bible says acted by by faith. 449 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,400 He was given Specific Instructions. 450 00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:23,000 Now, it's interesting when you read what scientist had to say 451 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:28,100 about these instructions, they tell us that that the dimensions 452 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:32,200 of the Ark and the ratio to length, height and width are the 453 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,900 exact dimensions that are used in all of the large ships that 454 00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:40,700 are built in modern times. Henry Moore's a hydrologic 455 00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:44,800 engineer who graduate graduated from Rice University in Houston, 456 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,900 Texas wrote this. If it can be shown 457 00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:50,500 hydrodynamically, no, this is a scientist. 458 00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:55,900 It can be shown hydrodynamically that a gigantic box of such 459 00:29:55,900 --> 00:30:00,900 Dimensions would be exceedingly, stable almost impossible to 460 00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:04,000 capsize. It's designed to float and it's 461 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,200 built about the best. You could possibly build as a 462 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,400 man to float. In fact, he went on to say that 463 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,200 if it tilted as much as 90 degrees because of the design in 464 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,500 proportions to the length, width and height, it would probably 465 00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:22,800 fall back down on its body. It wouldn't tip on over and 466 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,500 that's exactly what we need now. Do you think that happened by 467 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:28,900 the accident? Of course, not God designed 468 00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:30,800 this. So that man could live. 469 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:33,800 Now, let's talk about the volume inside the boat. 470 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,600 Now. You know, somebody like Bob or 471 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,500 Terrier or Doyle, who was the salesman, might understand 1.4 472 00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:45,700 million cubic feet. I don't know. 473 00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:50,400 But I that'll be much to me. So I studied that out a little 474 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,300 bit more to try to figure out what that means. 475 00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:59,000 Now that's the same capacity that 522 livestock is hold. 476 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,900 Pretty amazing. Now, one Railcar will hold 240 477 00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:13,200 sheep now Even the largest mammals in infancy are about the 478 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:19,200 size of a full-grown sheep. You know, I'm going to show you 479 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,300 the minute that there were dinosaurs on the boat had to be 480 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,600 even the largest dinosaur in infancy. 481 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,400 Was about the size of it cheap, a large full-grown sheep. 482 00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:37,300 In fact, about 75% of the dinosaurs were the size of a 483 00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:39,100 chicken. We don't hear that, but that's 484 00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:43,300 the truth. Dinosaurs of modern origin. 485 00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,400 And it was it's a word that came into Vogue. 486 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,900 A long after the King James Bible was printed and it just 487 00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:52,900 means terrible lizard. And so the word was not even 488 00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:55,000 used when the Bible was translated. 489 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,200 Now let's look at this. So we have the capacity to hold 490 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,000 animals inside this boat, people food, Provisions, whatever's 491 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:12,400 needed 522 livestock cars, enough room to hold 125,000 492 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,600 sheep. Now, somebody says, you mean to 493 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,700 say that Noah had to get all the animals on the boat. 494 00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:23,800 That's not possible. Let's reason this out. 495 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,800 Let's think about this. He was told to make an ark of 496 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,400 gopher wood. One window a cubit above one 497 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,000 door in the side are he was to pitch it inside and outside with 498 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,700 pitch, thus Noah did according to all that God commanded him. 499 00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:41,300 So did he then? The Lord said to Noah, come into 500 00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:42,500 the ark. Listen to what he says. 501 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:46,000 Now you and all your household. So because I have seen that you 502 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,900 are righteous before me in this generation, you shall take with 503 00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:52,000 you seven. Each of every clean animal a 504 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,100 male, and his female to each of animals that are unclean a male. 505 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,800 And his female also sevens each. A bird, birds of the air male 506 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,900 and female to keep the species alive on the face of all the 507 00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:05,900 Earth. And for, after seven, more 508 00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,900 years, I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and 509 00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,800 forty nights and I will destroy it from the face of the Earth, 510 00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,300 all living things that I have made and know. 511 00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:16,800 Did of cording to all that. God commanded him out. 512 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,000 Here comes the Roundup. Now, I have some uncle's who are 513 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,300 real cowboys. My uncle Donnie lived in Nevada 514 00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:30,600 for a lot of years and these two rope Mountain lines, you can 515 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,300 believe that when we were kids, we wouldn't, they had a mountain 516 00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:36,200 lion that they had rope. That one time we were there and 517 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,300 they called nosy because he had those bleed. 518 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,700 They actually would wrote mountain lions from horse. 519 00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:48,900 Now, these animals won't wrote. God said you get in the boat you 520 00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,300 and your family and these animals are going to come in. 521 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:55,800 That's amazing. You know what we don't realize 522 00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,700 is Before the Flood, there was a different relationship between 523 00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,900 men and animals. In fact, probably before the 524 00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,800 flood, there were no meat eaters. 525 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000 If you remember that it was after the flood that God, gave 526 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,400 the orders to now, start using meat for food. 527 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,199 Now that's the opposite of evolution, does he see? 528 00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:18,699 The problem is, most everything's the opposite of 529 00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:21,100 evolution. You can't put the evolution with 530 00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:24,699 the Bible. There's no way it can't be done. 531 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,300 There's too many, that's too many discrepancies. 532 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,600 You know, they tell us that that when you look at that star that 533 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,900 often times that lie is millions of years old and they'll light, 534 00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:41,400 you see is of a former star because the Stars gone when you 535 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,699 see the light. But in Genesis, I want it says 536 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,000 the light was here before the star. 537 00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:51,600 Because the Bible says, on the first day of creation God 538 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,800 created light and it was four days later when he created the 539 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,100 Stars. You see the two many 540 00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:03,700 discrepancies between evolution and creation of Christianity. 541 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,400 Evolution is a theory and it's based upon faith. 542 00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,000 Depends on how you look at the evidence. 543 00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:14,700 We're not talking about Evolution, we talked about the 544 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:19,300 Bible and the Bible says that you get in the art Noah, and 545 00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:21,300 these animals are all going to come. 546 00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:26,200 So, one by one, a two by two, they came marching and entering 547 00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:30,100 the ark. Two of every kind, seven pairs 548 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,200 of the clean animals. Now, biological taxonomists, 549 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,900 tell us that there are 18,000 species in the world. 550 00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:42,200 Now, we're talking about Bible kinds now and you need to 551 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,200 realize that that's much more limiting than Yuri than we often 552 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,800 think. For example, that you are wha 553 00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:52,900 and the Great Dane came from the original dogs. 554 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,900 We know biological taxonomy is tell us that through breeding, 555 00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:02,900 they've developed these the Chihuahua and the Great Dane, 556 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,200 but they both came from the same original match in the beginning. 557 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,600 That's more difficult to take cats. 558 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,700 It's more difficult to understand exactly how many cat 559 00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:12,900 species. There would have been in the 560 00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:18,000 beginning, but the point is, the Bible says that God told him 561 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,900 that there would be pairs of every Bible kind. 562 00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:24,500 So they would have been one male one female. 563 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,100 Female dog that represented all the dogs of the future. 564 00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:32,600 Scientists are supposed to know, said it was probably more like a 565 00:36:32,607 --> 00:36:35,100 wolf. I don't know. 566 00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:40,500 No that really matters but the point is there are currently 567 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,800 18,000 species on the earth down. 568 00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:46,700 We know that there wouldn't be any sea creatures on the boat 569 00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,900 because it didn't need to be. They could have survived the 570 00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:51,300 flood. So they were mammals birds, 571 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:57,800 reptiles amphibians, and then of course, we need to think about 572 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,100 the extinct animals, so let's double it again. 573 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,200 So now we have 36 thousand animals that we have to On the 574 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,900 boat. Now again there was two of every 575 00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:10,400 kind of male and female but then there were seven pairs of the 576 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,100 clean animals. We don't know for sure what 577 00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:15,100 animals were actually the clean animals. 578 00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:20,800 Now you can you can you can make some educated guesses but you 579 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,400 really don't know for sure how many there were. 580 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,000 So let's add 5000 more to the number. 581 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,400 So, that would be 75,000. Now we have room for 125,000, 582 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,400 280 full-grown sheep. Now you'll notice that there are 583 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,700 many small creatures who that are much smaller than a sheep 584 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,700 Robin's. Lizards mice, frogs a few large 585 00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:50,300 animals, elephants and giraffes dinosaurs. 586 00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:56,300 Now, I told you all God is going to show you that were dinosaurs 587 00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:01,200 on the boat. Now job lived about four hundred 588 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:08,000 years after the flood. And God's talking to job. now, 589 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,500 if you have a Bible with the margin and you look at Behemoth 590 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:15,100 that's in this context, it'll tell you an elephant or Hippo 591 00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:18,000 would guess what Did you ever see? 592 00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:22,600 Did you ever see a tail on a hippo or elephant? 593 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:29,300 That looked like a cedar tree? In fact, many of the creation 594 00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:32,500 science believe that this is the probably, the dinosaur that this 595 00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:35,100 passage is talking about. But the word, behemoth is from 596 00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,600 the Hebrew word that they need to know how to translate, that's 597 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,000 why they just call it behemoth. Look at what it says, look. 598 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,100 Now at the Behemoth, this is God, talking to job which I made 599 00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:49,700 Long Beach, along with you. Now, man says dinosaurs died 600 00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:53,200 before man. God says, I made the dinosaur 601 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,200 with you. Look at now at the Behemoth, 602 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,800 which I made along with you, he eats grass, like, an ox. 603 00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:05,800 See, now, his strength is in his hips and his power is in his 604 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,300 stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar. 605 00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:14,500 The sinews of his thighs. Are tightly knit. 606 00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:19,400 His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs, like bars of 607 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,800 iron. Now it was natural for animals 608 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,800 to migrate. Have you noticed these animals 609 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,000 on this ramp are small animals? It would have been natural for 610 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,700 these animals to be infants. Now we need of course but they 611 00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:40,200 have to replenish the Earth. And so the best the cream of the 612 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,200 crop, the best breeders, God would have had, would have sent 613 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,100 to the ark, it's natural. It's been proven by these 614 00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:54,800 biological scientists that that all animals have the Ability to 615 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,300 migrate. And so God calls by a miracle, 616 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,600 all of these animals to migrate to the ark that was necessary to 617 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,400 keep the species alive. So the animals on this bridge, 618 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,000 our infants that's logical to can you imagine if you had a 619 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,300 full-grown dinosaur on the boat and you had to clean up his 620 00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:17,700 Waist. You know, if you're driving 621 00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:19,500 along an African, you're not paying attention. 622 00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:21,900 You run over a pile of elephant, dung. 623 00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:26,000 You probably don't have a wreck. And it opens a lot smaller than 624 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000 a dinosaur. They got to be on this boat for 625 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,700 a year. Now, there are two things about 626 00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:35,800 infants that are going to be necessary. 627 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,600 To Aid knowing his family, they got to take care of 75,000 628 00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:46,000 animals. And if they're infants, they're 629 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000 going to sleep. Now he has, he has a storehouse 630 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,400 of food. Probably what happens is? 631 00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:59,400 He feeds the animals and it's dark and it's dead. 632 00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,600 It's raining. What do you do when it rains, 633 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,500 you sleep? These animals were sleeping. 634 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,900 They were hibernating. It's also been shown that most 635 00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:13,200 all animals have the ability to hibernate And that when that 636 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,300 happens their body processes, slow way down and the waste is 637 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,800 less. And of course they do not need 638 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,000 food during that time. So they had food when they went 639 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,800 to bed, they had some food left. When they got up and they being 640 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,800 infants, would have been a much simpler easier job and so, 641 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,000 probably all of these animals on the boat. 642 00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:38,000 None of them would have been larger than a full-grown sheep 643 00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:42,200 even the largest of the animals. Well, Noah had to be willing to 644 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,500 leave his former life. He'd never seen it rain. 645 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,200 And you know, God says it's going to rain. 646 00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:49,000 Noah had to be willing to get inside that boat. 647 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,400 Can you imagine the ridicule? We get ridiculed sometimes. 648 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,200 Can you imagine telling people it's going to rain. 649 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,100 They never see, right? Would you believe it? 650 00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:04,200 Doyle somebody told you it's going to rain in Bakersfield. 651 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,000 The first of August. Probably not. 652 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,300 Of course, none of us had thought a grate inlets and June 653 00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:14,500 either my place where I left yesterday and really nearly an 654 00:42:14,500 --> 00:42:18,200 inch for I left. I remembered ever do that. 655 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,600 But they didn't see ring before, and now it's going to rain. 656 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,100 He's going to get his family. All inside, that boat, this old, 657 00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:29,300 gray-haired man. That needs to be taken somewhere 658 00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,900 and locked up. He's got a problem. 659 00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:38,500 He probably called CPS. The point is he did with the 660 00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:41,900 Lord said no matter what anybody said, no matter what anybody 661 00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:45,000 else did, he was willing to leave his former life. 662 00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:48,300 All in his nostrils, was the breath of the spirit of Life. 663 00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:51,300 All that was on the dry land died. 664 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200 Nor passed through the door. Now, it's interesting. 665 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,600 We talked about this door, you remember, I said he was to pitch 666 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,100 it within and without with pitch, that is the ark was can't 667 00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,500 pitch on the outside and on the inside. 668 00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:05,200 Now, there are two different words that are used for this 669 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,800 word pitch. Found in Genesis chapter 6 and 670 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,100 verse 14. The first time it means to cover 671 00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:14,700 its a verb. The second time, it means a 672 00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:18,600 cover. So here you have this cover, 673 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,500 that covers the outside and keeps the pending Waters of 674 00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,200 judgment away from the inside of the boat. 675 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,900 You have the pitch on the inside, to that continues to 676 00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:32,700 seal them, they had to pass through this pitch to get inside 677 00:43:32,700 --> 00:43:34,500 the boat. Now this is what's interesting. 678 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,000 This word pitch in Genesis chapter 6 is later used and it's 679 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,600 translated by these three words. And the lexicographer says that 680 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,400 the word means that the price of a lie, a price for ransom of 681 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,600 Allah to atone for them. You know what that's talking 682 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,100 about this time with the blood of Jesus. 683 00:43:56,900 --> 00:44:00,100 In order to be saved in order to be protected, they had to get 684 00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:02,400 inside the boat, when they did that, they passed through the 685 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:07,000 pitch just like, we have to pass through the blood of Jesus. 686 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,000 The pitch is pointing no less through the blood of Our Lord, 687 00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:16,200 no left his former life, nor pass through the door, he was 688 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:21,200 warned by God, he acted by faith at all of course this alluding 689 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,800 to our Salvation in Christ. We hear the gospel. 690 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,700 We believe that God's will repent of our We acknowledge 691 00:44:27,700 --> 00:44:30,600 Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, we passed through the door. 692 00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,900 Jesus says, I am the door we have to believe and acknowledge 693 00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:36,200 that he is the door. And of course, when we do that, 694 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,800 we passed through his blood because that would include even 695 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,300 baptism. Notice what it says. 696 00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:45,900 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things 697 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,800 but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without 698 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,200 blemish and without spot indeed was forwarded for the foundation 699 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,200 of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 700 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,100 know, of I saved by water so we are saved by water. 701 00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:02,100 The words that we read in the beginning in an amazing. 702 00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:05,700 How this represented our Salvation to this day, it is 703 00:45:05,700 --> 00:45:10,300 very hour. They heard they believed they 704 00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:13,900 resolved they repented, they confessed and they were 705 00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:18,500 baptized, don't notice this as the eight Souls of the type, 706 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:24,900 we're not saved before. Or after the flood but while the 707 00:45:24,908 --> 00:45:27,300 water supported the art. So salvation from sin has 708 00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:33,000 accomplished in baptism, Not before or after they act notice 709 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,700 that there was no infants on the boat. 710 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,500 Noah's children had no children. They had no children. 711 00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:43,500 He'd had the grandchildren until after the flood. 712 00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,800 That does away with infant baptism. 713 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,600 All were saved the same way. Look at the unity of this. 714 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:58,100 Every person who was saved or save the same way, all were 715 00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:01,500 members of the same family, was that an accident? 716 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,600 Think about it, all wore, the same family name, Isn't that 717 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,800 incredible? That's the way it is for us, 718 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,700 even today in the New Testament Church, we're all saved the same 719 00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:16,200 way. We all are members of the same 720 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,500 family, and we all wear the same name. 721 00:46:18,500 --> 00:46:24,500 Christian, that incredible, well, know has boat is a symbol 722 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,200 of Salvation. The Waters of the flood lifted, 723 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,700 the boat to safety and the Waters of the flood caused the 724 00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:37,000 boat to float on the on this show. 725 00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:42,000 Shortest sea for over a year and finally, those inside the boat 726 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,100 were allowed to leave and they walked out on dry, clay him. 727 00:46:45,500 --> 00:46:49,000 Well, my friends, there's coming another flood but this flood is 728 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,500 not with water.
