Did you know that every ancient culture has its own account?
Of a worldwide flood. The American Indians recount a
time when a powerful snake made all the people evil this snake
then caused water to wash everything away.
However, this wasn't the end of the story a man known by the
American Indians as the grandfather of all men actually
survived the flood by riding on the back of a great turtle.
The South American people believe in a story from Peru.
There was a shepherd and his family, and one day they noticed
that their llamas were sad. Upon further inspection, they
realized why. The stars had begun to align in
a pattern that warned them that a great flood was coming.
So the shepherd and his family immediately climbed to the top
of a high mountain, and this protected them when the
floodwaters began to spread. Across the earth.
The ancient Greeks told a story of a man who made a box where he
could store all things necessary for life.
One day, he and his wife decided to shut themselves away in this
box. Coincidentally, the Greek God
Zeus decided to cause a great rain to fall.
Literally everyone was removed from the earth, except those
who, like in our last story, were smart enough to climb up to
some very tall mountains. Now the man and his wife, they
remained in their box, and this box was tossed around the ocean
for many days until eventually it hit dry ground.
So they were rewarded for thinking inside the box.
The people of India believe in a person called Manu who had a
conversation with a fish. The fish prophesied that there
would be a huge flood and it would wipe everyone else.
This fish then suggested that Manu built a boat and so he did
and thus lived on to tell the tale.
On the islands of the Pacific they have multiple flood
stories. One goes like this.
A fisherman got his fishing hooks caught in the hair of a
slumbering ocean guard. Once awoken, he decided that all
the people on the earth were evil and they should be dealt
with. The fisherman pleaded for a
second chance, so the ocean guard told him to go on an
island where he would be safe when the floodwaters began to
arrive. The ancient Babylonians believed
and God who told a man you tapish him to build a boat and
fill it with his family, property, food and cattle as
life was about to be washed away by a great flood.
Now you won't believe this, but after six days on the boat, this
Babylonian version of Noah sent out a dove, a swallow, and a
Raven to check if everything was clear for him to leave the
boats. When he eventually left the
boats he then made an offering to the gods and this pleased
them greatly. OK, you probably know by now
that I am a Christian and I don't believe in any of these
stories, but I believe in the biblical accounts of Noah.
But I am going to make a statement for you and I want you
to tell me what you think happened.
Either all of these stories are just coincidences, or there
actually was. A real.
Worldwide flood and all of these ancient cultures are somehow
trying to explain this massive event with their own campfire
tales. By the way, if you are
interested in hearing about ancient civilizations, you will
struggle to hear some information I want to share with
you in a future video. You'll find it very hard to find
this information anywhere else, so please do subscribe if you'd
like to see this video that will be coming very soon.
But right now, the evidence for a worldwide flood is not just in
every ancient culture, but across the entire face of the
world. Take a look at this.
This is the Grand Canyon, and it doesn't take a genius to see
that this beautiful natural wonder of the world was caused
by a huge amount of water cutting through the deep parts
of the Canyon. And do you not think that the
layers and layers of rock which we can see today show evidence
of rock layers being laid down extremely quickly by a worldwide
floods? Especially when we can see
organisms crossing over into different parts of the sediment
as if they were buried very quickly as opposed to each layer
being formed slowly over millions of years?
But guys, would you like to see a memorable picture which you
will never quite Unsee? This fish was caught red handed
eating its lunch. So come on now, how can we
explain this other than the obvious explanation that this
fish was buried suddenly in a huge amount of water?
However, this wasn't the only time that the fossil record
proved the biblical. Story to be.
True, on the 29th of May 1953, Edmund Hillary became the 1st
man to climb Mount Everest and it's rumoured that when he
reached the very top, he found sea shells.
I wouldn't mention this rumour normally, but it has actually
been fact checked by real geologists and real
palaeontologists who have also found shells on the top of Mount
Everest. But not just shells, but fish
fossils too. So over to you now you explain
to me what a fish doing 29,000 feet above sea level.
The obvious answer is the Bible's accounts of Noah's
flood. It says and the waters prevailed
exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills or mountains
in other versions under the whole heaven were covered.
One piece of evidence which is staring every single one of us
in the face is the fact that Earth is covered by 71% of
water. And it's no secret that water
doesn't just disappear, but it's recycled over and over again
through the water cycle. So which do you think makes more
sense? The opposing view from those who
do not believe in the Bible and the Flood who say that the
reason water covers the majority of the world is because it
arrived on comets? Or do you think it makes more
sense that all of this water is a remnant from a worldwide
flood? And actually, all of these
ancient cultures could be on to something.
But listen to me, It's not just Christians who believe in a
worldwide flood. Graham Hancock, who is not a
follower of Jesus Christ, also believes the evidence for such
an event is undeniable. And there is evidence for
cataclysmic flooding across North America dated to the
Younger Dryas between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago.
Here's a map that shows the extensive scarring of what are
called the channelled Scablands in the Pacific Northwest of
North America. This is a meteorite.
It's an iron meteorite, and it was found in Oregon and it's
sacred to the Native American people of Oregon.
But it didn't come from Oregon. It came from 100 miles further
north. It came from the Canadian ice
cap and it was carried in an iceberg on those floods from
Canada into Oregon. Then the iceberg melted away,
leaving this 15 ton oriented ion meteorite and dated to exactly
12,800 years ago. Rocks on this giant scale
carried there in enormous icebergs are found all over the
Pacific Northwest. This area is even called Boulder
Park. There's so many of them, and we
must try to envisage the kind of floods that could have caused
this level of damage. Floods that were jostling with
enormous icebergs, that had whole forests ripped up by their
roots within them, that were mud and rubble in the basis of them,
highly erosive features, erosive enough to create this fossilized
waterfall called Dry Falls in just two weeks.
The water at the bottom of Dry Falls is just rainwater that has
pooled there. But 12,800 years ago a humongous
flood poured over this and scoured out that waterfall and
then stopped quite suddenly to get a sense of the scale.
If we put Niagara Falls in the picture, you can begin to
realise how big Dry Falls is. Niagara Falls is still there.
The river is still creating it. Dry Falls 12,800 years ago, the
work of two weeks of flooding. Nature is fractal.
We we know that what nature does on a small scale, it also does
on a large scale. So go to the beach, watch the
tide go out, and you will see little current ripples on the
beach. And those ripples might be an
inch high and a few feet long. But there are current ripples on
the Camas Prairie in the Pacific Northwest that are on a
completely different scale. You can get a sense of it here.
We'll go closer. That's a car for scale.
These current ripples are 50 feet high and 300 feet long, and
they testify to the most enormous flooding that passed
through and then receded in that area.
And the story continues in Minnesota.
It continues in the Finger Lakes of New York State.
The latest science is saying these are not carved by
glaciers. These are the result of
flooding. So they just stand out like.
Out of nowhere. This thing was transported
almost 200 miles from it's it's likely origin was Mount Robeson
and we didn't get to this one, but this is evidence that the
the flooding was much more extensive than just the Missoula
flooding your North American continental I should.
Just jump in there and say that it isn't any longer
controversial that there was gigantic flooding in the Pacific
Northwest and indeed across the whole range just South of the
ice camp, that that is accepted now.
But the very idea that there was flooding at all was hotly
opposed for for decades there was a Great American geologist
called J Harlan Bretz who was the first to document the fact
that there had been colossal flooding in that area.
And he lived in the 1900s and nineteen 1920s.
And because he suggested that there had been a cataclysm, of
course, he was exiled by his colleagues.
Eventually his data prevailed, and he was awarded the Penrose
Medal, the highest award of the geological geology in America,
in 1976, when he was like 96 years old.
But it's so. Disturbing to.
Me that it works like that. It works like that but.
What happened, you see, was Holland Bretz was convinced from
the beginning that he was dealing, and this is a very
experienced field geologist, that he was dealing with a
single humongous flood. See here's.
The problem? Geologists haven't been focused
on catastrophism. What they've been doing, they
work for the government. They work for the oil companies.
They're they're more interested in what's down below the, the,
the natural gas, the oil and stuff.
There's another point. There's another point I'd like
to add to that, Randall, as to why geologists are not focused
on catastrophes. Geology is a science and and
science in effect defined itself as being different from
religious superstition. So the notion of the great flood
that we find in the Bible became a very discredited notion in
science and, and the the the by by by by association with that,
any suggestion of a great cataclysm in the past was seen
as superstitious behavior to be shunned completely by the
squeaky clean, shiny new sciences who must never take
that into account. So any geologist who dares to
propose a cataclysmic episode is up against that right away that
his colleagues don't want to go there.
Because they're afraid. That they're going to be.
Accused of. Buying into Noah's flood or
whatever. That's so unfortunate.
If you remember one word from this entire video, remember this
one. Prepare.
Because here's the thing, even in Noah's day, there were
doubters. There's nothing new under the
sun. When I was a little boy, do you
know, I used to sing a hymn, a children's hymn, and it went
like this. Mr. Noah built an ark.
The people thought it such a lark.
Mr. Noah pleaded so, but into the ark they would not go.
And Jesus Christ Himself said, For as in the days that were
before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying
and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the
ark. And they knew not until the
flood came and took them all away.
So shall also be the coming of the Son of Man Be you see, Noah
was a preacher of righteousness. Oh, how that godly man wanted
people to turn from their pride, to turn from their wrongdoings,
and to find safety in God's rescue plan the ark.
But nothing's changed today. Men and women stand on street
corners and preach that God's judgement is coming.
So men and women should prepare today.
Pastors preach in pulpits and say there is only one way to
escape God's wrath and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ.
So prepare to meet thy God today.
Millions, possibly even. Billions have seen men, women
and many young and old people on social media pleading with
sinners to come to the Lord Jesus Christ.
But how does this generation respond?
Just like in the days of Noah, they laugh and they think that
we're all just a big joke for trusting in this one man and
what this one man did 2000 years ago.
Just like the people thought that Noah was a joke for
building an art. And it's sad because they do
think we're out of our minds because we believe that Jesus
Christ will save us and that he is coming again.
But mark my words, the rain will start to fall and this
generation will one day see the judgments of God that they
ignored and laughed at. Because soon God will judge the
world again. But he won't do it with water
this time. Now he's promised he'll never
use water again. Now the next time he judges, it
will be with fire. And you know as well as I do
there is something that awaits all those people who reject the
sun, all those people who say I do not want Jesus Christ.
You know, something is awaiting. All friends, seek refuge in
Christ today. There is an ark today, and that
ark is the Lord Jesus. The door of the boat is flung
open and all. Who will walk?
In will be saved, but you must enter before the door shuts
because that door will not be open forever.
You must come to the cross that was also built from woods and
let the Lord Jesus Christ wash away all of your sins.
He will wash. Away everything.
You've ever done all that wrongness with his very blood,
because his love also flows out to all mankind.
It flows richly, like a flood. And that's why he went to the
cross in love. In love He shed his blood for
you so that you can be cleansed. And so today turned to him
because he not only died, but he rose again and he's coming back
for his church one day, despite what the doubters say.
And I hope every single one of us will know and remember that
Jesus Christ is coming again. And one day he's going to gather
all those who love him and trust in him, and he's going to take
us up to be with him in the clouds.
And I really do hope that you will be there that day meeting
him in the clouds, because you too have trusted in the Lord
Jesus Christ as your Saviour. But hey, now I can hear some of
you say, Joe, why don't you show the people a more physical
imprint of Noah's Ark in the mountains of Ararat?
