They Didn’t Make It

 

“Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were pleasing; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.  And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not continually strive with man, for indeed it is in flesh to sin; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.  There were giants on the earth in those days. And also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them, these were the mighty men from antiquity, men of renown.  And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.  And Jehovah regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved to His heart.  And Jehovah said, I will obliterate man whom I have created from off the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens, for I regret having made them.  But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.  These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generation. Noah walked with God.  And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.  And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them along with the earth.  Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.  And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.  You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.  And behold I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.  And I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark; you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.  And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.  Of flying creatures after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come in to you, to keep them alive.  And take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them. Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

 

And Jehovah said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and all your house, for I have seen you as being righteous before Me in this generation.  You shall take unto you of every clean animal seven and seven, a male and his female; and two each of animals that are not clean, a male and his female; also seven and seven of the flying creatures of the heavens, male and female, to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.  For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will obliterate from off the face of the earth all living substance that I have made.  And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.  Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.  So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.  Of clean animals, of animals that are not clean, of flying creatures, and of everything that moves upon the earth, two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.  And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.  In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.  On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark; they and every living thing after its kind, all animals after their kind, every creeping thing that moves on the earth after its kind, and every flying creature after its kind, every bird of every wing.  And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.  So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.  And the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it was high above the earth.  The waters prevailed and greatly increased upon the earth, and the ark moved about upon the surface of the waters.  And the waters prevailed with abundant force upon the earth, and all the high hills under the heavens were covered.  The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.  And all flesh died that moved on the earth: flying creatures and animals and living things and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, and every man.  All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.  So He obliterated all living substance which was on the face of the ground: both man and animal, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens. They were obliterated from off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark were left alive.  And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.”  Genesis 6-7

 

Normally we would not start off with quoting two full chapters from the Bible.  Most people have heard of the Flood, Noah’s Ark and God’s judgment regarding mankind, but there are many who will never once read the actually account.  The silly toys that are sold that have a little ark with big animals on top for children to play with do not accurately portray what actually took place.

 

The problem with mankind during those days was sin, a lot of it.  In fact so much that only Noah found favor in God’s eyes and God saved him and his family from the Flood that destroyed mankind.  Just how many people were on the earth prior to the Flood?  That answer is not recorded for us, therefore it is only a guess.  I’ve seen estimates from hundreds of millions to billions, some even suggesting more people prior to the Flood than our current population of the world.  Either way would it matter? 

 

Over 4,000 years ago the Flood occurred and now our world is once again built up.  Most consider themselves to be far more advanced than the ‘cave men’ of old, but it should not be put outside the realm of possibility that portions of the world prior to the Flood had advanced technology, perhaps even technology that is suppressed today, but was possibly not suppressed back then.  Either way you look at it, the question is where are those ancestors of old?  They didn’t make it.

 

There is a war that has been going on for years between the religion of evolution and God’s Truth.  In all of that there is a great deal of misinformation purposely put forth from those who claim to be scientist, many cover-ups of finds that provide evidence of the Holy Scriptures account of our history, as well as those who flat out refuse to accept that they were Created, no matter the overwhelming evidence in front of them.  With some diligent research and the onset of the digital age, one can quickly see evidence that is contrary to the lies pushed by mainstream science.

 

Did you know that there are tons of human fossils found, many mixed right in the fossil beds of dinosaurs?  Human fossils are found in rocks that would be impossible, due to the age listed for evolution.  These hard rocks are supposedly much older than the evolved humans.  So what happens to these records?  In times past there were hidden deep within warehouses of the Smithsonian.  There they were either never to be heard of again or they would be relabeled as not having been human fossils, but rather that of a mammoth or another animal.  There is even a rumor that a barge full of giant bones that did not have a place, as no answer could be given, except a biblical one, to their origins, were put in a barge and dumped into the ocean.   These policies continue, not just with human fossilized remains, but with anything that is out of place and found.  Sometimes the ‘cat gets out of the bag’ and it is too late for the find to be catalogued and never talked about again, lest it ends up like the hoofs of fossilized animals found near and on display in a small town museum like the one in Choteau, Montana. 

 

No one will talk about the camels, horses, rhinoceros, elephants and zebra fossils found throughout the United States and the world.  Bits of information, like a local news article from Montana were a man found a fossilized camel in a irrigation channel, will surface because of it simply being news, but you won’t see this being promoted from the scientist directly, too much effort is needed to answer these oddities that don’t fit in.  So when I stumbled across this news article from Taiwan, I knew if it weren’t for the media, this is one of those things that are never to see the light of day.  So when fossils like this are found, they are dated quite closely to the time of the Flood, but labeled to be a ‘stone age’ death.

 

Take a look at the article with the accompanying picture.  Please do tell, who is telling the truth?  God and His Word that is provided to mankind or the accepted scientific interpretation that is ever changing to explain away finds like this that they wish had just been hauled away and put in a warehouse before being made public?  Researching this I found that scientist have stated that there was strong evidence of a flood in China and blame it on the Yellow river.  Using this article as just one of many examples, I pondered many things regarding it.

 

A woman is clutching her baby, sudden death comes upon them and both of them are fossilized.  To be fossilized while still holding the baby seems even the more amazing, something had to happen instantly. 

 

At Egg Mountain in Montana where the there have been found fossilized nests, complete with eggs, the sign states that scientists believe it to be either a volcano or a hurricane.  Well if it was a volcano you would know for CERTAIN as there would be a layer of volcanic ash mixed in with the fossils and above them.  A hurricane?  Chasing and watching storms is a favorite past time, I could only imagine the awesomeness of being able to view a hurricane that powerful!  A hurricane that could not only kill everything in its path, destroying as the winds prevailed, the rains poured, the tornados turned and maybe even giant hail stones falling with lightning fireballs flying through the sky!  Such a hurricane that powerful that not only killed all life, but provided the conditions to instantly create a fossil records, yet gentle enough to leave all of the eggs lying in a nest, sitting above ground fossilized for someone to find eons later.  What an event that must have been, the best place to view that would have been with rain gear, sitting right next to the dinosaur nest!  The same is true with this fossilized woman and baby.

 

Egg Mountain

Of course scientists are going to give us a reason of the woman and child’s death, an earthquake, they think.  Can we go back the past 1,000 years of all historical recorded powerful earthquakes and start finding the fossils from then?  You will NEVER see one example of a historically recorded earthquake, no matter how powerful, were scientists are digging up fossils, complete with tools, writings and other things from a civilization that has recorded history…NEVER.  Mummies are found in pyramid tombs, bones of men are found from ancient societies, but human fossils from recorded history are not found EVER!  With that said, neither are fossilized nests. 

 

I imagine that the woman watched in horror as the Flood waters began to come up quickly.  People scurrying around, no where to go, seeing death right in front of them.  Clutching her baby she would have been overcome by the waters with force and turned into the earth due to the violence of the waters, becoming entombed instantly and providing a fossilized record thousands of year later.  With the exception of Noah and his family, his wife, three sons and their wives, everyone was killed by the Flood, no exceptions.

 

“For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.”  1st Peter 3:18-20

 

What about our future as a society?  Has God spoken about what will come eventually?

 

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and did not realize until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”  Matthew 24:37-39

 

“But evil men and pretenders will grow worse and worse, leading astray and being led astray.”  2nd Timothy 3:13

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”  Matthew 24:14

 

“Therefore God also gives them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who change the truth of God into the lie, and fear and serve the created things more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”  Romans 1:24-25

 

Understand that there were people who died prior to the Flood from natural causes.  Then there was the Flood that wiped out everyone at once, except Noah and his family.  For those who are Believers that are still alive at the appearing of Christ, they can rest assured knowing that our Savior will take us out of here prior to God’s judgment. 

 

Do you think any of those who saw the Flood waters rising pondered their sin and regretted it? 

 

“For this let everyone who is godly pray unto You, in a time when You may be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near him.”  Psalms 32:6

 

Jesus Christ has provided Salvation for all of those who desire it.  Those who realize and forsake their sin, who change their minds, repent, and through faith accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior have a sure ‘ark’ against the troubled times that will eventually happen.  Just as Lot was saved, so too those who are in Christ will eventually be at Home with the Lord.  Do not be found guilty when standing before God, but ensure that you become rectified with your Creator, through Jesus Christ, having ensured that your name is written in His Book. 

 

“For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  not of works, that no one should boast.”  Ephesians 2:8-9

 

“Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be immersed in the name of Jesus Christ to the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  Acts 2:37-38

 

“Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was accounted to him, but also for us, to whom it shall be accounted, believing in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.”  Romans 4:23-25

 

“I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”  Luke 13:5

 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  The one believing into Him is not judged; but the one not believing is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.”  John 3:16-21

 

Amen!
