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. 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. Just an FYI: Another account states that the mammoth's "mouth was filled with grass, which had been cropped, but not chewed and swallowed" (A. S. W., Nature, Vol. 68, July 30, 1903, p. 297). The grass froze so rapidly that it still had "the imprint of the animal's molars" (Lister & Bahn, Mammoths: Giants of the Ice Age, p. 74). Hapgood's translation of a Russian report mentions eight wellpreserved bean pods and five beans found in its mouth (Charles H. Hapgood, The Path of the Pole, 1970, p. 267). Twenty-four pounds of undigested vegetation were removed from the Berezovka mammoth and analyzed by the Russian scientist, V. N. Sukachev. He identified more than forty different species of plants: herbs, grasses, mosses, shrubs, and tree leaves. Many no longer grow that far north; others grow both in Siberia and Mexico. Dillow draws several conclusions from these remains: o The presence of so many varieties [of plants] that generally grow much to the south indicates that the climate of the region was milder than that of today. 22
o The discovery of the ripe fruits of sedges, grasses, and other plants suggests that the mammoth died during the second half of July or the beginning of August (Joseph C. Dillow, The Waters Above: Earth's Pre-Flood Canopy, 1981, pp. 371-377). Abundant food requires a temperate climate -- much warmer than northern Siberia today. Only a small percentage of the food found in Berezovka's mouth and stomach grows near the Arctic Circle today. Furthermore, the flower fragments in its stomach show that it died during warm weather. Despite the popular misconception, the mammoth was a temperate, not an Arctic, animal. Titanic Explorer 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. There must be some major reason why God decided to effectively start the human race over. After all, he is supposed to be merciful, slow to anger, full of grace. The flood seems to contradict all of that! And the DNA from Eve has to be preserved or no Messiah! 23
This will bring us to one of the most controversial texts in the Bible. We are going to get HUGE answers from this text! 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) According to most Biblical scholars and the Bible itself; the Sons of God are fallen angels or demons. They had relations with humans and created offspring (son's) that were inherently evilso much so that God decided to basically start all over 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. 24
How do we know these are Fallen Angels or Demons? God himself gives us the answer. 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
The most famous Nephilm in the Bible was the Philistine s Goliath whom David killed as a young boy! BTW: Goliath had 4 brothers which is why David took 5 stones. 27
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 5-6 billion people living on the planet (the 6 billion never arrived because their parents were killed prior to having them). Example: 100 years ago there were 1.5 billion people on the planet and today we have over 7 billion. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth/ 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 s family did not have any demon blood in his genealogy - they were direct descendants of Adam and Eve through the line of Seth 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! 28
God did NOT wipe out the human race with the flood, he SAVED the human race. Satan s plan almost worked and had God not stepped in, this would be a totally different world now. 29
Here are the 2 opinions... 30
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! 31
Messiah will be a first born son and the Mitochondrial DNA will flow though the woman. Moses has the DNA (as does King David) Jesus is from the line of King David via Mary (DNA). The census required that all of King David s descendants register in Bethlehem so all were killed Satan unwittingly falls into God s trap. God will not Kill his own son But he will let Satan do it! GEN 11, TOWER OF BABEL 3. God's command to the survivors of the flood was: 32
This is deliberate rebellion The term babbling idiot comes from this event! Scattered?? Philip was translated instantaneously 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 all originating from Babylon. And note the similarity in their archeology. Just an FYI: For more on the biblical world after the flood go to Radical Grace.com and see the History of the world past, present and future (Ham, Shem and Japheth) and also http://www.custance.org/. This will really fill in the gaps for you! 33
Science says that these characteristics would change within 2 generations and remain permanent Areas of Sand storms noses get broader for more oxygen Sun in Africa more melanin and skin turns darker No sun White skin, blue eyes and - Remember they started out olive skin as blonde hair Mediterranean s http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics/humanskin-color-variation/modern-human-diversity-skincolor 34
So their 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! 35
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! 4. HERE GOD MAKES A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM WHICH CONSISTS OF.. The HE of Genesis 3:15 will continue through this line 5. Abraham has 2 sons: Isaac and Ishmael (the descendants of Ish today are?..the Arab Nations) 6. Isaac has 2 sons, Jacob and Esau (This is the end of Genesis} 36
37
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. 38
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: 7. Those who Choose to NOT follow GOD will not be allowed to partake in his eternal plan. PS. Nothing has changed! There is a very strange law in the book of Deuteronomy: 39
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! 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 Heavenis isour ourpromised promisedland land 6.11.Heaven Entrance something Godwill willdodo- not - notsomething something that willhave have 7.12.Entrance toto it it is issomething God that wewe will toto accomplish accomplish by our own actions.

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 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. 8. God is not silent however he is working in the world system readying the world for his son. 41
9. God first sets up the Greek Empire so that Greek will become the language of commerce across all countries. By the way, Alexander who started the Greek empire was prophesied in the Bible 250 years before he rose to world conquest. Then a goat came from the west (Daniel 8:5) with a single horn between its eyes. The horn represents the king, Alexander. 10. 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. 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 and then after the resurrection the explosion of the gospel throughout the world. 42
