GEN 6, 7,8,9, THE FLOOD One of the reasons that the people did not want to believe Noah was that it had never rained! 21
One Evidence of this terrarium effect is a Rainbow! 1. A rainbow (God s promise that he would never destroy the earth again by water) can only be formed by water DROPLETS in the sky not water VAPOR. 2. The rainbow would not have been seen prior to the flood because it was water vapor then. 3. This doesn t prove the Bible, but it does point out that it was scientifically correct thousands of years before the technology to prove it would be known. 22
Titanic Exporer Robert Ballard had a theory: The water from the Flood had to go somewhere and he reasoned that the Black Sea was formed AFTER the flood from the Flood water. This will bring us to one of the most controversial texts in the Bible It is rare to hear a sermon from this text. We are going to get HUGE answers from this text! 23
Who are the NEPHILIM? The word in Hebrew literally means Fallen Ones or who from Heaven fell. " The word is translated in English usually as GIANTS! Compared to the people of their day they dominated them physically! The average person then was around 5 feet tall and slight of build due to poor nutrition ( and BTW only lived an average of 43 years) 4. According to most Biblical scholars; the Sons of God are fallen angels or Demons. 5. They had relations with humans and created offspring (son's) that were inherently evil-so much so that God decided to basically start all over 6. Noah was the family that had NO demon bloodline God used him, and his family to start the human race over and to repopulate the world with animals placed on the ark. How do we know these are Fallen Angels or Demons? God himself gives us the answer. 24
What would a ½ demon and ½ human look like? Neanderthals is my opinion! 25
The following is excerpted from the Discovery Magazine article Living With Neanderthals. 26
Renowned Scientist Hugh Ross (from Reasons to Believe foundation) says that during this time the murder rate was so high that 19 out of 20 people were killed - enough to curb what should have been a population explosion of 6 billion people living on the planet (the 6 billion never arrived because their parents were killed prior to having them). Recent evidence shows that not only were the Neanderthals murderers but they were cannibals! Out of all the people of the world at this time NOAH did not have any demon blood in his genealogy - he was a direct descendant of Adam and Eve so the HE of Gen 3:15 a direct descendent of Eve would live on through saving Noah and his family. God must protect the DNA of Eve throughout centuries until the messiah arrives in a manger in Bethlehem! 27

Many ancient civilization from Indians-Hindus state that their gods were created from star Children and the result is always GIANTS in mythology (History channel Ancient Aliens 2010) Here are the 2 opinions... 29
Take only the four couples who survived the flood and to be conservative use only one couple. The average life span throughout the history of the world is 43 years. Since the estimated time of the flood over 4300 years has transpired or 100 generations: Here's a big question! 30
Satan unwittingly falls into God s trap. God will not Kill his own son But he will let Satan do it! 31
GEN 11, TOWER OF BABEL 7. God's command to the survivors of the flood was: This is deliberate rebellion The term babbling idiot comes from this event! Scattered?? Philip was translated to the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8). What if that is how God scattered them. Instantly we would have civilizations of people from the Inca s to the Mongolians and Aborigines in Australia. And note the similarity in their archeology. 32
33
So there DNA is changed. In 70 AD all records of the begets were lost in the razing of the temple. No Problem, I ll just change their DNA! The Cohanim or Priests have a role to play in the 7 year tribulation. God has that covered. Also he is proving to us that that DNA thing from Eve the HE in Genesis 3 He had that covered too! 34
Gen 12 -The history of the Jewish nation Abraham called by God from Ur of the Chaldeas (probably Kuwait) to go to a Promised Land He then WALKS to Northern Israel! 8. HERE GOD MAKES A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM WHICH CONSISTS OF.. The HE of Genesis 3:15 will continue through this line 9. Abraham has 2 sons: Isaac and Ishmael (the descendants of Ish today are?..the Arab Nations) 10. Isaac has 2 sons, Jacob and Esau (This is the end of Genesis} 35

Q. Where did these giants come from? The scripture in Genesis 6: 3-9 said and also afterward. 2 spies say "let's get em"...they are Joshua and Caleb. But the people refused to obey and so God had them wander in the desert for 40 years. Q. What was the purpose: To let the generation that refused to obey God die out (all but Moses, Joshua and Caleb who co-incidentally did not age during this time). The Lesson: 11. Those who Choose to NOT follow GOD will not be allowed to partake in his eternal plan. PS. Nothing has changed! 37
There is a very strange law in the book of Deuteronomy: Jericho is the only place in the Middle East where the ruins show us that the walls fell out! No army pulls the walls... down on themselves! 38
Don t read but Know it- By the way this is again a picture or what scholars calls a Type of what God wants us to see: For the Jews: 1. It is the promised land 2. Entrance to it is something God will do - not something that the Israelites will have to accomplish. They must simply accept the plan even though it contradicts every human battle plan. 3. God will defeat the enemy 4. Their job is to march around the city (get noticed) and then announce that God is coming. PERIOD! Q. Do you see the Christian parallel? ForChristians Christians: : 5.10.For 11. Heaven ourpromised promisedland land 6. Heaven is isour Entrance something Godwill willdodo- not - notsomething something that willhave have 7.12.Entrance toto it it is issomething God that wewe will toto accomplish by ourwe ownmust actions.

Our job is to get noticed and then that God They then conquered most of the cities in Canaan...But not all!! God said "conquer them all", but once again They thought they knew best and so they left a few 39
WHAT ABOUT JOB? Probably written at the end of Genesis; it is considered the oldest book in the Bible. There is a 400-year period of SILENCE before Jesus Christ and the New Testament. 12. God is not silent however he is working in the world system readying the world for his son. 13. God first sets up the Greek Empire so that Greek will become the language of commerce across all countries. By the way, Alexander the Greek was prophesied in the Bible. 14. God then sets up the Roman Empire to unify the vast majority of the known world and so that they can build the road system that will later enable the gospel to be spread throughout the known world. These two elements: The Greek Language and the Roman Road system will enable the Gospel to spread very fast after the resurrection of Jesus. This was the ANCIENT equivalent of our Internet. 40
Neither the Greeks nor the Romans would require religious conversion so the Jews could worship God but under the rule of the Romans. This will set up the conditions that allow the Messiah to be killed. 41
