00:03:53I think people don't believe in the flood today
00:03:55because they don't have access to the accurate information
00:03:59and evidences that are there.
00:04:01They are simply captive to entertainment, social media.
00:04:07There you have movies like Noah that,
00:04:10in a very fictional and nonsensical way,
00:04:12distorts the Bible totally.
00:04:14And for many people, that's the only source they have
00:04:16for something they think is a biblical account.
00:04:19We have, of course, the whole embedded presupposition
00:04:22of evolution and the geologic column
00:04:25and all of these things which tell students
00:04:27as they come along that the Earth has existed
00:04:30for millions, if not billions of years,
00:04:33that man is a product simply of natural succession.
00:04:36A flood is a supernatural event.
00:04:39A flood is a divine judgment.
00:04:42A flood destroyed mankind.
00:04:44And they're not told that there are evidences of these things.
00:04:48They aren't shown the historicity of Genesis
00:04:51to say that this holds up very well
00:04:54in terms of our scientific age.
00:04:56So it's simply, on the one hand, a lack of information,
00:05:00and then, on the other hand...
00:05:01The fear of man, for the same reason
00:05:03that they don't believe in a lot of the things
00:05:05that the Bible says are literally true,
00:05:07literally history, and literally science.
00:05:09The fear of looking silly,
00:05:11and the intimidation by people who host science television shows
00:05:15and wear white lab coats.
00:05:17I think it's really that they're afraid
00:05:19of appearing silly in any way.
00:05:21But when you actually go past the surface
00:05:24and look at the feasibility of it and the historicity of it,
00:05:28it's almost inescapably plausible.
00:05:31Conventional scientists, the secular scientists,
00:05:34think that the present is the key to the past.
00:05:37The Bible, in fact, tells us
00:05:39that the past is the key to the present.
00:05:41And the flood is key to understanding
00:05:43why the world is the way it is today,
00:05:45not just the geology, but even the humanity.
00:05:48Understanding the ark and the flood
00:05:50is very relevant to understanding
00:05:52why the world is the way it is today,
00:05:54how we got to be here.
00:05:55Everyone is interested in their history.
00:05:57And the flood is key to understanding our roots.
00:06:00In the early 19th century,
00:06:02when the idea of millions of years was developed,
00:06:05it developed as a result of a conscious rejection
00:06:09of the flood and the biblical chronology.
00:06:12Most of the church came to the conclusion
00:06:15that the flood wasn't global,
00:06:17it wasn't really geologically significant,
00:06:19the age of the earth doesn't matter.
00:06:21And so over the next 100, 150 years,
00:06:24the flood was just kind of forgotten.
00:06:26And it still, in large measure today,
00:06:29is ignored by most Christians.
00:06:31They just never think of it
00:06:33and its relationship to the question
00:06:35of the age of the earth.
00:06:37But it's critically important.
00:06:39We can go back and we can see in the fossil record,
00:06:42for example, what happened.
00:06:43When we look at the world around us,
00:06:45when we look at all of those hundreds
00:06:47and hundreds of rock layers,
00:06:48they're sedimentary layers.
00:06:49That means they were laid down by water.
00:06:51The flood is a reminder that God judges sin.
00:06:53And God said he's going to judge the world again.
00:06:56He sent the flood to punish evil at that time.
00:06:59And that's why God sent the flood.
00:07:02It's important to punish evil.
00:07:04That's justice.
00:07:06What is just?
00:07:08The reason the ark is so amazingly relevant in the flood
00:07:12is because man's sin deserves judgment.
00:07:17The Bible clearly reveals that we are now approaching
00:07:20the time when the second global judgment will come.
00:07:24If we don't understand or believe
00:07:26in the first global judgment,
00:07:28then we will not be ready for this final global judgment.
00:07:33So the consequences of the next judgment
00:07:35could not possibly be more relevant.
00:07:38What is at stake is heaven or hell.
00:07:44The Holy Bible.
00:07:48A book inspired and architected by God
00:07:52and written by his people,
00:07:55dating back to the beginning of real human history,
00:07:59from the time of man's true origins.
00:08:03A book that teaches us that the earth is not millions of years old,
00:08:07as we've been brought up to believe.
00:08:10A book teaching us that we did not come from monkeys
00:08:13or apes or primordial soup,
00:08:16but a book that instead shows us our creator
00:08:21is a loving, merciful, and just God.
00:08:25A God who created a beautiful world
00:08:28in which the entire planet was once a paradise.
00:08:33A paradise that he gave to us to fill up
00:08:36A paradise that he gave to us to fill up
00:08:39and multiply across.
00:08:42In Genesis, we're shown that God had finished
00:08:46all of creation in six literal days.
00:08:50And that indeed, everything he had created
00:08:54was very, very good.
00:09:07In the span of four days,
00:09:11God was finished with the heavens and the earth.
00:09:16And it was on the fifth day
00:09:19that he began making the sea creatures,
00:09:22both great and small.
00:09:25And on that very same day,
00:09:28he also made all of the exotic flying creatures,
00:09:32which flew through the open firmament
00:09:35of the beautiful heaven.
00:09:39On the sixth day,
00:09:42he made all of the majestic land creatures,
00:09:46which included all of the dinosaurs,
00:09:49along with mankind.
00:09:53He also planted a garden,
00:09:56and in the midst of it,
00:09:59and in the midst of it,
00:10:01the tree of life.
00:10:04But there was another tree of God
00:10:06that also placed on the garden,
00:10:08one that God commanded man
00:10:12not to eat from.
00:10:15Sadly, mankind used their free will
00:10:19to sin against their holy and righteous God.
00:10:22With free will comes consequences,
00:10:25and in this case, the consequences of sin
00:10:27would plunge mankind into darkness.
00:10:33Before the fall, God saw everything that he had made
00:10:36and it was very good.
00:10:38It was just the way it should have been.
00:10:41It came forth exactly as he intended.
00:10:43At the end of Genesis 1, it says it was very good.
00:10:46God looked at everything he had made,
00:10:48and it was very good.
00:10:50And we get some idea of how good it was
00:10:53in the last three verses
00:10:55when God says that both man and the animals and birds
00:10:59were vegetarian.
00:11:01They didn't eat each other.
00:11:03They ate the plants and the fruit of the plants.
00:11:05That's telling us a lot about how very good the world was.
00:11:09Creation was in a state of innocence.
00:11:12This affirms a fundamental element of God's character.
00:11:15He is good.
00:11:17God is not the author of evil or death.
00:11:19God came into the garden.
00:11:21He had fellowship with man,
00:11:23and they could actually communicate with him and see him
00:11:27according to, the way you understand, the pre-fall condition.
00:11:31They would have lived forever.
00:11:32God warned them beforehand,
00:11:34if you eat from this, you're going to die.
00:11:36Well, Adam did eat.
00:11:38God told Adam, you're going to die.
00:11:40God said, from dust you came and to dust you shall return.
00:11:43So that's physical death.
00:11:45Through one man, sin entered the world,
00:11:47and death through sin.
00:11:49Adam and Eve began to die physically.
00:11:51The fall of man affected the whole creation.
00:11:54The ground was cursed.
00:11:56The whole creation is groaning in bondage to corruption.
00:12:01Sadly, the reality of the fall is now easily seen wherever we look.
00:12:06In this broken world, we see pervasive death,
00:12:09violence, corruption, lies, hate, and sin.
00:12:12Man is exiled from the place of God's own presence,
00:12:17and that fellowship is not restored as it was.
00:12:20Man is going to have to labor by the sweat of his brow,
00:12:23and then he will return to the dust from which he was made.
00:12:27That is what has happened to the world.
00:12:29So it describes entropy,
00:12:31the whole idea that things are subject to decay,
00:12:34dissolution, finally death.
00:12:37The whole world is like this.
00:12:39It has a limited shelf life, so to speak.
00:12:41It changed the world profoundly.
00:12:44Pretty much everything was corrupted,
00:12:47Even the creatures were suddenly carnivorous or poisonous.
00:12:52Diseases and viruses emerged that were otherwise benign.
00:12:56It just radically changed everything.
00:12:58It even changed plants.
00:12:59Plants suddenly became weeds and choked out the crops.
00:13:02The ground was cursed. Thorns and thistles began to grow.
00:13:05We don't live in the original very good creation.
00:13:08We live in a fallen creation, a cursed creation.
00:13:11The fall was a massive, catastrophic, world-changing event.
00:13:17So everything was corrupted.
00:13:19It was a tragedy on the highest possible level.
00:13:22Evil had to mature before God unleashed the first judgment.
00:13:33The Lord God had made a beautiful world
00:13:38in which everything was once very good.
00:13:42But when the first man broke God's command,
00:13:45man's domain was plunged into sin and death,
00:13:50which only grew worse with the progression of time.
00:13:56And it was not just men who had been corrupted,
00:13:59but all under man's dominion.
00:14:03Animals became carnivores
00:14:06and turned on each other and man.
00:14:11Where once the earth had been filled with God's goodness,
00:14:14now was filled with the celebration of evil and endless violence.
00:14:24Paradise, along with man's innocence, was now gone.
00:14:37The Lord Jesus would tell us later
00:14:41that just as in the days of Noah,
00:14:45so too would the world become again just before his return.
00:15:07The Lord Jesus
00:15:11The Lord Jesus
00:15:14The Lord Jesus
00:15:17The Lord Jesus
00:15:20The Lord Jesus
00:15:23The Lord Jesus
00:15:26The Lord Jesus
00:15:29The Lord Jesus
00:15:32The Lord Jesus
00:15:35The Lord Jesus
00:15:38The Lord Jesus
00:15:41The Lord Jesus
00:15:44The Lord Jesus
00:15:47The Lord Jesus
00:15:50Most flood geologists point out that the world, the earth,
00:15:53had a more global, warm, mild climate.
00:15:57And the evolutionists believe that too.
00:16:00It's not just because of continental drift
00:16:02that we find pine tree forests and dinosaur fossils on Antarctica.
00:16:07Not just because those continents were once in different places,
00:16:10but because the earth had a warmer, milder, global climate,
00:16:15heavier, lusher vegetation, greener, thicker forests
00:16:20that stretched further towards the poles and away from the equatorial zones.
00:16:25Right now we just don't have the kinds of forests
00:16:28that could generate the coal deposits that we have or provided.
00:16:32The vast source for the carbon
00:16:37that would have been necessary for the coal seams that we have today,
00:16:41we would have had to have had a lusher, warmer, more forested,
00:16:45more vegetated earth.
00:16:47Clearly the amount of vegetation in the pre-flood world
00:16:50was far superior, far more luxuriant.
00:16:54Today's world is a desert by comparison
00:16:57to what the pre-flood world would have been like.
00:16:59A much gentler topography, a much easier climate,
00:17:02much more prolific vegetation and animal life.
00:17:06We have many creatures in the fossil record that are just like today,
00:17:09but they were much larger.
00:17:11So giantism in the fossil record,
00:17:13that indicates that the pre-flood world
00:17:16was much more suitable for biological life.
00:17:19Originally, at least, it wouldn't have had impassable mountain ranges,
00:17:23it wouldn't have had huge desert areas.
00:17:25God created the world to be inhabited.
00:17:27Prior to the flood, mankind had wrecked their environment to a large degree.
00:17:31The Bible talks about the wickedness of man.
00:17:33In Genesis 6, it speaks of every thought of man's heart
00:17:36was only evil continually,
00:17:38and that the whole world was filled with violence because of man.
00:17:41To me, I think it would be a very frightful place to live.
00:17:45The intents and thoughts of the human heart were only evil continually.
00:17:49The earth was filled with violence,
00:17:52and all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
00:17:55So it was excessive sin and violence and wickedness,
00:18:00and God said, I'm going to destroy the earth.
00:18:03The remnant, Noah and his family, they found grace in God's sight.
00:18:07Apparently, they were not of those that were corrupted,
00:18:10and God took that remnant of mankind, was able to preserve it.
00:18:14But one of the things people find interesting
00:18:16is the lifespans of humans before the flood.
00:18:19Noah was 600 years old, and after he got off the ark,
00:18:22he lived 350 more years.
00:18:24He was 950 years old when he died.
00:18:27Now, his sons that got off the ark didn't live that long themselves,
00:18:32but they lived into their 500s.
00:18:34And then the next generation, the next generation,
00:18:37the 400s, the 300s,
00:18:39we are getting to Terah, Abraham's father, living into his 200s.
00:18:43Abraham lived to be 175,
00:18:46and it was an exponential decay in the lifespans.
00:18:49Adam and Eve had no mutations.
00:18:51The first 10 patriarchs before the flood had very low mutation rates,
00:18:56and so they were all living to be about the same age.
00:18:59Something happened at the time of the flood,
00:19:01and that's when this incredible degeneration of humanity happened.
00:19:06There was this incredible decline in longevity.
00:19:10When you plot the data, it's astounding
00:19:13because the data, which is fair in the Bible,
00:19:16and you wouldn't expect scientific data in the Bible,
00:19:19but the data follows a strict decay curve, and it's stunning.
00:19:27In the Bible, we are told that before the flood,
00:19:30men lived to be nearly 1,000 years old.
00:19:32The average age of men at the time was so staggeringly high compared to today
00:19:37that some have a difficult time comprehending
00:19:40how such longevity was even possible.
00:19:43Yet, a major clue lies within the ages given to us in the book of Genesis.
00:19:48In almost computer-like fashion,
00:19:50the book of Genesis reveals that the post-flood lifespans
00:19:54of the genealogical line of Adam
00:19:56follow a mathematical concept known as exponential decay,
00:20:00meaning that if you were to graph the lifespans of all of the men after the flood,
00:20:05you don't see a linear line gradually sloping down,
00:20:08as you would likely see if the ages were made up,
00:20:11but instead, what you see is an exponentially decaying curve
00:20:15with minor variations since no two people are alike.
00:20:19Would the men who recorded these ages through history
00:20:22really have conspired together to create data
00:20:25that follows an exponential decay curve?
00:20:28Instead, what we see resembles exactly the type of data
00:20:33we would expect in the aftermath of a worldwide flood,
00:20:36revealing a steep initial drop-off of lifespans
00:20:39just after the flood due to the catastrophic environmental changes,
00:20:44no more access to nutrient-dense foods from the world that was lost,
00:20:49and genetic mutations that were not before present.
00:20:53The truth is that no one at the time of recording these metrics
00:20:57would even think to plot them in an exponential decay curve
00:21:01if they were making up fiction.
00:21:03This sophisticated decay curve is actually the result
00:21:07of a real and easily provable flood event.
00:21:14The objections to Noah's Flood are mostly ridicule and laugh-out-louds.
00:21:20The only serious things are maybe trying to say,
00:21:23well, where did the water go, where did the water come from,
00:21:26and then lampooning Noah's Ark.
00:21:30There was a Discover Channel special called Noah's Ark, The True Story,
00:21:35where they showed actors portraying the traditional,
00:21:39biblical version of the story of Noah's Ark,
00:21:43and then they showed you the true story.
00:21:45And Noah was dressed in a tunic, was bare-chested,
00:21:49had a shaved head and looked like an Egyptian,
00:21:52and Noah's Ark was a beer barge.
00:21:56I'm not kidding. Look it up.
00:21:58Discover Channel, Noah's Ark, The True Story?
00:22:02How do they know that?
00:22:04Asserting that that's what the real story was,
00:22:07and then watched it fall apart into pieces
00:22:10as it, of course, was structurally not sound,
00:22:13ridiculing the structure of the Ark.
00:22:16When I was a master student at Ohio State University,
00:22:19I looked at the geometry of the cross-section
00:22:23and of the length of just the straightforward reading of the Bible,
00:22:28and I found out that it's dynamically stable 90 degrees in pitch mode
00:22:34and 90 degrees in yaw mode.
00:22:37It means it'll go all the way up to 90 degrees and it'll come back.
00:22:40It's stable.
00:22:42Not that that wouldn't have caused problems for the people and the animals
00:22:45in the Ark if it had been tilted that much,
00:22:47but that does show the stability.
00:22:49Certainly, whatever they could have taken in the turbulence,
00:22:52the Ark could have taken structurally.
00:22:55This is a 200-scale Ark, and I put it in my swimming pool,
00:22:59and we put a measurement device on here that was one inch,
00:23:02and so we were able to scale the waves.
00:23:05And do you know that it scaled to 500-foot waves,
00:23:09and it was still stable, never turned over.
00:23:12500 foot. A tsunami, by the way, is about 100 feet.
00:23:15So it lets you know about the dynamic stability of this.
00:23:18Most of biology didn't need to be on the Ark.
00:23:22Most plants didn't need to be on the Ark.
00:23:24Most insects didn't need to be on the Ark.
00:23:26Only the creatures that have breath in their lungs.
00:23:28Most of the species live in the ocean, which do just fine in a flood.
00:23:32So the Bible doesn't say that Noah was to take two of every species onto the Ark.
00:23:37It was to take two of every kind, the same word that's used in Genesis 1
00:23:41that talks about God creating different kinds of plants and animals
00:23:45to reproduce after their kind.
00:23:47And so we think there were maybe only about 1,400 kinds
00:23:50and about 7,000 animals on the Ark.
00:23:53Average size, maybe a large sheep or a small cow,
00:23:57but most creatures much smaller than that.
00:24:00We're not talking about, for example, two Great Danes,
00:24:03two German shepherds, two wolves, two coyotes.
00:24:07He took two of the dog kind on the Ark,
00:24:10and we know from modern genetics that there's tremendous genetic variation
00:24:14built into the DNA for each kind of creature.
00:24:19And so creation scientists have been studying,
00:24:22well, what was the created kind
00:24:24in comparison to our modern classification system?
00:24:28And they think that in most cases it was equivalent
00:24:31to approximately the family level.
00:24:34The evolutionists just exaggerate because they focus on species.
00:24:39Evolutionists often claim that it would not be possible
00:24:42to fit all of the species of life on Earth onto a ship the size of the Ark,
00:24:47even when factoring just how humongous Noah's Ark actually was.
00:24:51At roughly 50 feet high, 85 feet wide, and more than 500 feet long,
00:24:56the Ark is the largest wooden vessel known to have been built by man,
00:25:00with the USS Wyoming, a gigantic wooden schooner built in 1909,
00:25:05coming in at second at 450 feet long.
00:25:08Yet regardless of size,
00:25:10imagining how the Ark could fit 18 million species of all life on Earth
00:25:14is a rather elementary level way of understanding
00:25:17the excellent efficiency of the Ark's economy.
00:25:20The reality is that the sea creatures, insects, and vertebrae,
00:25:24and plant species did not need to be included on the Ark.
00:25:29You see, God instructed Noah to only bring the vertebrae land animals,
00:25:34and when you simplify those animals to their genealogical class structure
00:25:38found in Genesis, which is known as a kind,
00:25:41you can further significantly reduce the number of animal kinds needed
00:25:46down to around roughly 1,400 kinds,
00:25:49or approximately 6,750 animals in total.
00:25:53Of those animals, you also don't need to bring fully mature adults,
00:25:58when smaller juveniles would fit better, eat less,
00:26:01waste less, and live longer while reproducing in the post-flood world.
00:26:06With roughly 6,750 animals on board the Ark,
00:26:10we can now also estimate that approximately 1,400 cages were needed,
00:26:15and when considering that only 20% of the Ark's volume was needed for food storage,
00:26:20you can see that we have plenty of room left over for cages and infrastructure,
00:26:25with the remaining area able to fit the equivalent of 483 semi-trailers within its volume.
00:26:33It's also no surprise that the dimensions God gave for the Ark
00:26:37turned out to be optimal for stability.
00:26:40In fact, if we were to scale the Ark up,
00:26:42it appears that modern cruise ships have taken notes from the Ark's dimensions,
00:26:47as you can see striking similarities in shapes and proportions that they share.
00:26:52As you can observe, the influences of the Ark are alive and well today,
00:26:57and have long-reaching implications in virtually every field of science,
00:27:02including baromonology,
00:27:04botany,
00:27:05hydrodynamics,
00:27:07anthropology,
00:27:08and more.
00:27:09But as compelling as the science behind the Ark is,
00:27:13we must not forget that it is God who orchestrated the events.
00:27:17It was God who decided the time to judge the world had come.
00:27:23And it was God who was ultimately responsible for the deliverance of all who were aboard the Ark.
00:27:48In the second book of Peter,
00:27:51we are told that in the last days,
00:27:54before Jesus Christ returns,
00:27:57people would deliberately ignore the evidence of the Flood.
00:28:02Or as the Bible puts it,
00:28:04they would be willingly ignorant of the Flood.
00:28:09Peter tells us that in the last days,
00:28:11men would mock the Bible and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
00:28:16And instead,
00:28:17they would walk after their own lusts,
00:28:21just like they did in Noah's day.
00:28:27You see,
00:28:28just as Noah,
00:28:30just as the Ark,
00:28:32just as the Ark,
00:28:35you see,
00:28:36just as Noah had faith to carry out God's command to build the Ark,
00:28:42and just as Noah had faith that God would bring them through the Flood,
00:28:49so we too must have faith that God was perfectly capable of preserving Noah,
00:28:57his family,
00:28:59and all of the creatures aboard the Ark.
00:29:03Is it too difficult a thing for the God who created the universe
00:29:09and everything in it to preserve the life that he chooses?
00:29:15Of course not.
00:29:18So,
00:29:19let us not be counted among those who Peter prophesied would ignore the evidence of the Flood,
00:29:27since we are indeed living near the end.
00:29:34Instead,
00:29:36let us be named among those who believe in God and his word.
00:29:48The Bible says that on the day that the rains of the Flood began,
00:29:53all of the animals with the breath of life were on board the Ark with Noah and his family,
00:30:00and it was God himself who would shut them all in and save them from the coming judgment.
00:30:12The global nature of the Flood is given in the biblical text,
00:30:15and it's quite clear, especially going to the original terms that are used.
00:30:19The term for the Flood itself is Mabul.
00:30:21The unique Hebrew word, Mabul,
00:30:24it's used only one other place in the Old Testament.
00:30:27That is in Psalm 29, verse 10, where it says that God sat as king at the Flood.
00:30:33It's a very unique term that sets this account apart from other types of flood.
00:30:38So this was a unique flood.
00:30:40First, we could talk about the flood itself, the purpose of the flood.
00:30:44Contrary to what many think, it was not simply to destroy sinful man,
00:30:49but also, Genesis 6 tells us,
00:31:01Then we can talk about the Ark.
00:31:03The purpose of the Ark was not to save a few animals so Noah could start a farm after the Flood.
00:31:09It was, as Genesis 7, 3 says,
00:31:13to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
00:31:16And then we have the repetition of universal terms.
00:31:19Everything that is under the whole heaven, under the whole earth.
00:31:23Everything which is the breath of life.
00:31:25Those words appear 60 times in Genesis 6.
00:31:28All, every, under heaven.
00:31:31And when you have a repetition of those words, that is emphatic.
00:31:35Secondly, we have the duration of the flood, 370 days.
00:31:40Why such an extensive flood if it was only local?
00:31:43Why that duration of the flood?
00:31:45Why it takes so long for it to recede and dry up?
00:31:49There's no way a local flood could last that long.
00:31:51We have the depth of the flood.
00:31:53It covered all the high mountains, everywhere under the heavens.
00:31:56And since water seeks a level plain, it would have to be a global flood.
00:32:01When the Scripture says that the waters rose to about 24 feet above the mountains,
00:32:07even if you give the idea that the mountains were not as high as they are now,
00:32:12they were upthrust after the flood,
00:32:14you still have water only rising to its own level.
00:32:17If we had a local flood, then obviously there's no need to build an ark.
00:32:22If the flood was local in the Middle East, the ark was totally unnecessary.
00:32:27The animals didn't need to go in there.
00:32:30And he could have told Noah and his family to go on a vacation to Europe or Egypt.
00:32:35Noah and his family could have walked to a safer place.
00:32:38And then why an ark at all?
00:32:41Why such a large ark?
00:32:43Why all the animals? Why the birds?
00:32:45The birds could fly away.
00:32:47There are animals in other places after all if it's a local flood.
00:32:51Just this whole idea of everything included in the ark, two of each kind,
00:32:56means you were trying to preserve all of life at that point.
00:33:00Only a global flood fits the purpose of the ark.
00:33:03And we can talk about the volume.
00:33:05It was way too big if it was just a local flood.
00:33:09You also have the very theological concept
00:33:12that if you had men elsewhere who were not part of the judgment of the flood,
00:33:17then the whole idea of a judgment on mankind for corruption of the earth
00:33:22would make no sense whatsoever.
00:33:24God says, I've seen the wickedness of man that's great on the earth.
00:33:28Not just in one local place, but on the earth.
00:33:31When we come to the New Testament,
00:33:33you have a passage like 2 Peter 3, verses 5-7.
00:33:36It compares a flood that destroyed the world it was
00:33:39with a future judgment on a coming world,
00:33:43on the world that now is.
00:33:45If you had a local judgment in the past,
00:33:48you'd have to have a local judgment in the future.
00:33:51But of course, this is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge his world.
00:33:55And it has to be universal.
00:33:57Well, if the flood was just a local event, then what do you think?
00:34:00Maybe when Jesus returns, just a local event?
00:34:02No, it's going to be a worldwide judgment as well.
00:34:05And I would add one last thing, and that is,
00:34:08we can't find the Garden of Eden.
00:34:10People look at the description of the geography
00:34:14where the Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2.
00:34:16The reason we can't find the Garden of Eden
00:34:19is because the pre-flood world was completely destroyed.
00:34:22It is now buried under thousands of feet of sedimentary deposits.
00:34:29So, the flood was not a local flood.
00:34:41The Bible tells us that God looked upon his creation
00:34:48and behold, it was all corrupt.
00:34:53For all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
00:35:02Judgment day had finally come.
00:35:22Judgment day had finally come.
00:35:52Judgment day had finally come.
00:36:22Judgment day had finally come.
00:36:52Judgment day had finally come.
00:36:58Judgment day had finally come.
00:37:04Judgment day had finally come.
00:37:10Judgment day had finally come.
00:37:16Judgment day had finally come.
00:37:31God said, and behold, I, even I,
00:37:37do bring a flood of waters upon the earth
00:37:42to destroy all flesh,
00:37:45wherein is the breath of life from under heaven,
00:37:51and everything that is on the earth shall die.
00:38:04Every non-flood geologist on our planet
00:38:08believes that the planet Mars had a global flood.
00:38:11Creationists do believe, like the unbelievers,
00:38:13like the secular geologists believe Mars did have a flood.
00:38:17We think it happened the same time our flood did.
00:38:19Maybe an asteroid storm hitting the inner planets,
00:38:23the rocky planets.
00:38:24Here on our planet we're now currently covered 70% with water,
00:38:28two miles deep, and they can't buy that we once had a flood?
00:38:33It's very, very easy for them to believe that Mars had a global flood,
00:38:36but for some reason they can't accept
00:38:38there's plenty of evidence that we've had a flood.
00:38:40Where did all the water come from for the flood?
00:38:43I mean, where did it come from and where did it go?
00:38:46Look at the globe!
00:38:47We're three-fourths covered with water, two miles deep.
00:38:51Now it's all still here.
00:38:53The most asked questions are
00:38:54where did the water come from for the flood and where did it go?
00:38:58And the answer is easily explained
00:39:01in the model of catastrophic plate tectonics.
00:39:03The process of catastrophic plate tectonics
00:39:07is very similar to conventional plate tectonics.
00:39:11The main difference is the speed
00:39:13or the rate at which these processes unfold.
00:39:16Today, the plates are moving about a few inches per year.
00:39:22However, during the flood, a billion times faster.
00:39:26When the flood began, it began with these fountains
00:39:29on the bottom of the deep ocean.
00:39:31Where the Bible even says the fountains of the great deep
00:39:34were opened up.
00:39:36The Mid-Ocean Ridge is 44,000 miles long.
00:39:40Most of it is underwater.
00:39:41That's why they call it the Mid-Ocean Ridge.
00:39:43And if it all erupted at the same time,
00:39:45it would have made the ocean floor do this.
00:39:48Wham!
00:39:49And then the Mid-Ocean Ridge would have erupted
00:39:52all around the world at the same time, roughly.
00:39:54But that first phase, wham,
00:39:56would have caused sea level to rise a mile.
00:39:59Wow!
00:40:00Then this tidal wave coming out from that sudden rise
00:40:04of the ocean floor in the middle headed towards the continents.
00:40:08Now, that would have been the phase one of the flood.
00:40:10The second phase of the flood, it says,
00:40:12was when the windows of heaven were opened.
00:40:15It's no accident that there's an order
00:40:18given there in the scriptures.
00:40:20The fountains of the deep broke open,
00:40:22that is, the crust breaking open,
00:40:24the water shooting up, the supersonic steam jets,
00:40:27and carrying that ocean water up,
00:40:29then it fell as global torrential rainfall.
00:40:32As we all know, the flood was 40 days and 40 nights of rain.
00:40:35But the waters prevailed upon the Earth for 150 days.
00:40:39When the fountains of the great deep broke open,
00:40:42as the Bible describes,
00:40:43that's the description of the fracturing of the pre-flood crust.
00:40:48You've got molten material that's expanding as it solidifies.
00:40:52The new ocean floor expanded.
00:40:54That pushed up sea level.
00:40:56That means that the ocean floor is actually going to rise.
00:40:59The ocean waters rose up to cover the continents.
00:41:02The new ocean floor cooled, and it shrank,
00:41:05and therefore sea level fell,
00:41:08and the ocean waters drained off.
00:41:10The flood waters are still present on the Earth's surface today.
00:41:14They went into the new ocean basins
00:41:17that were produced as a consequence of the flood.
00:41:20In fact, the Earth is still 70% covered in water.
00:41:23Yeah, the water's still here.
00:41:25It's deep in those trenches.
00:41:27Some of the trenches are eight.
00:41:28Now we find out 10 miles deep.
00:41:31If we had lower land formations and a higher ocean floor,
00:41:36we would probably be a water planet today
00:41:39with no land surface.
00:41:42And it's scraping the bottom of the barrel
00:41:44to try to say, where did all the water go?
00:41:46It's still here, and it's very easy to explain
00:41:48that the same water, mostly the same water that's here,
00:41:51would have been adequate to have flooded the Earth at one time
00:41:54and that the situation has changed
00:41:57Not a problem in the flood model at all.
00:42:01We're all familiar with the theory about Pangaea,
00:42:04which holds that the continents were once connected
00:42:07to form a supercontinent that later broke apart
00:42:10through a process called plate tectonics.
00:42:13Catastrophic plate tectonics is essentially the same idea
00:42:16as conventional plate tectonics,
00:42:19except that the timeline and events are all centered
00:42:22around the year of the flood
00:42:24instead of millions of years of slow processes.
00:42:28You may be surprised to learn that it was a man named
00:42:31Abraham Ortelius, a famous cartographer from the 1500s,
00:42:35who first proposed the idea that the flood of Noah
00:42:39may have been responsible for tearing apart
00:42:42the Americas from Europe and Africa.
00:42:45Hundreds of years later, another Christian
00:42:48by the name of Antonio Snyder Pellegrini
00:42:51would first theorize the modern concept
00:42:54of continental drift, in which he illustrated
00:42:57two maps depicting the continents of the world
00:43:01as once joined together.
00:43:04This was decades before German geologist
00:43:07Alfred Wegener would propose his own version
00:43:10of the theory known today as Pangaea
00:43:13and be erroneously dubbed the father of continental drift.
00:43:18Antonio was snubbed of this honorary title.
00:43:22His crime was citing the book of Genesis,
00:43:26in which he said he made the discovery that
00:43:30at the beginning of creation, there was only one continent.
00:43:34You see, the book of Genesis laid out exactly
00:43:38what happened to the earth in the past during the flood,
00:43:42starting with what the Bible calls
00:43:44the fountains of the great deep opening.
00:43:47It wouldn't be until the 1950s that technology
00:43:51initially developed to detect submarines underwater
00:43:55would stumble across these gigantic scars
00:43:58from the fountains of the great deep
00:44:01that had split open exactly as the Bible had described.
00:44:06How did a book thousands of years old
00:44:10know exactly what was at the bottom of the ocean floor?
00:44:14The Bible says that first,
00:44:17these giant subterranean rifts broke open,
00:44:20piercing the earth's crust,
00:44:22spewing magma that created steam jets
00:44:25that shot up into the sky.
00:44:27Then the book of Genesis says that
00:44:30the waters poured down as torrential rain
00:44:32through the windows of heaven that were opened up,
00:44:35and that the rain lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
00:44:39The supercontinent that the book of Genesis described
00:44:43is now beginning to break apart.
00:44:46At first, the newly partitioned continents oscillate,
00:44:50slamming into each other
00:44:52before starting their ultimate journey of separation.
00:44:55This closes seaways and forms volcanoes and mountains
00:45:00in the Americas and Europe,
00:45:02such as the Appalachian and Chaldean ranges.
00:45:06The sea floor spreads, forming from molten magma,
00:45:10widening the separation between the new continents.
00:45:13Scientists will later discover that the sea floor
00:45:16at the mid-Atlantic ridge is much younger
00:45:19than the sea floor in other parts of the world,
00:45:22exactly as the Bible suggests.
00:45:25As this newly emerging volcanic floor spreads,
00:45:29it subducts under the west coast of North America,
00:45:33binding and releasing,
00:45:35causing massive tsunamis,
00:45:37carrying mud mixed with sea creatures,
00:45:40totally overwhelming the land.
00:45:42As what's known as the Conjugate Shatsky Rise
00:45:46pushes up during the subduction,
00:45:48the Rocky Mountains also begin to form,
00:45:50along with the Independence Dike Swarm,
00:45:53a 400-mile-long volcanic region that billows ash
00:45:58that covers half of America.
00:46:00As the western interior seaway emerges during this time,
00:46:03the last of the dinosaurs are flooded,
00:46:06mixed together with sea life,
00:46:08and are buried in mud, sand, and ash
00:46:11in the middle of America.
00:46:14As we near the end of the flood,
00:46:16activity begins to cease
00:46:18as the sea floor stops spreading and begins to cool.
00:46:22As the new massive ocean floors cool and retract,
00:46:26the waters reverse back down into the new ocean basins
00:46:30and recede as much as a mile.
00:46:34All over the Earth, trillions of fossils are left behind
00:46:38as incredible evidence of the worldwide catastrophic flood.
00:46:48The most compelling evidence for a global flood
00:46:52is the sediment record itself.
00:46:55All over the Earth, what's under your feet,
00:46:58hundreds of distinct horizontal layers,
00:47:02generally with smooth interfaces between the layers.
00:47:06The only way that such a record could have come into existence
00:47:11is global-scale processes producing the whole record
00:47:16in a single global event.
00:47:18All over the world, the layers are flat,
00:47:22and there's no river channels in them.
00:47:24Think about what you see at the Grand Canyon.
00:47:26You see these flat pancakes, one on top of another,
00:47:29just flat, flat, flat, flat.
00:47:31They're basically erosionless.
00:47:33Here's how they formed.
00:47:35At the beginning of the flood, there was movements of the crust.
00:47:39Crustal movements actually cause earthquakes.
00:47:41Earthquakes in water cause tsunamis.
00:47:44The tsunamis, then originating from the ocean areas,
00:47:48would then race across the continents.
00:47:51Once the tsunami lost its power,
00:47:53the sediment would settle down out of the water
00:47:57and form a flat layer at the bottom.
00:48:00That's the first layer.
00:48:01Then another earthquake in a different part of the world
00:48:04sets off a tsunami, maybe a week later, maybe a day later,
00:48:08brings in a different sediment.
00:48:10The tsunami runs out of power in this area.
00:48:12The sediments in the water settle to the bottom
00:48:15and form another flat layer.
00:48:17There's no erosion.
00:48:19Again, you have a third tsunami bringing in these sediments,
00:48:22third layer.
00:48:23My simulations indicate that these tsunamis were large enough
00:48:27for a single tsunami to sweep all the way across a continent.
00:48:31These layers were formed underwater.
00:48:34That's why they were so confusing to so many people.
00:48:36It's fascinating to see the evolution scientists
00:48:39explain their dig sites.
00:48:41For example, at Dinosaur Provincial Park,
00:48:44they have 10,000 dinosaurs buried in this flat layer.
00:48:49And you ask the site paleontologists,
00:48:51well, how did these 10,000 dinosaurs get in this flat layer?
00:48:55Well, they died in a river in flood.
00:48:58Oh, what was the shape of the river bottom?
00:49:01It was a flat river bottom.
00:49:03So you're saying this river that was so strong
00:49:05that could bury 10,000 dinosaurs over five miles wide,
00:49:08which would be a raging river,
00:49:10wasn't strong enough to cause an erosion channel?
00:49:13Why isn't there a river cut from this river channel?
00:49:16Why isn't there erosion from that river?
00:49:18The answers make no sense in light of this flat problem,
00:49:23the erosionless problem.
00:49:25What we see at the Grand Canyon
00:49:27is that the layers got bent at the edge of the plateau.
00:49:31Because the folding was smooth when the sediments were still soft,
00:49:36the whole sequence had to be formed rapidly during the flood
00:49:40and then bent at the end of the flood while they were still wet.
00:49:44And so these folds are very strategic evidence
00:49:47tying together all the layers,
00:49:49and it emphatically demonstrates
00:49:51that the millions of years never happened.
00:49:53Or the fact that you have what are called polystrate fossils.
00:49:57They're usually trees that go through more than one layer.
00:50:00These trees have three layers
00:50:03that are supposedly 30 million years worth of rock around them.
00:50:07You know that if you start accumulating sediment around the bottom,
00:50:10that sediment would eat away at the bark, the bark would rot,
00:50:14and the tree would die even sooner,
00:50:16would fall over even less than 100 years.
00:50:19But here we have trees vertical, fossilized with three layers.
00:50:25In the worldwide flood, trees were swept up
00:50:28and they were floating on the top.
00:50:30Now eventually the trees became waterlogged and sank to the bottom.
00:50:35Now trees normally sink horizontal,
00:50:38but some trees, as discovered by Dr. Steve Austin,
00:50:42when they sink, they sink vertically.
00:50:45When a tsunami wave comes,
00:50:47and there was a lot of tsunami waves during the flood,
00:50:50and brings in sediment,
00:50:52when the tsunami wave loses power,
00:50:55the sediment in the wave settles into a flat layer at the bottom.
00:51:00Maybe a week later or a day later,
00:51:02another tsunami wave comes in from a different direction.
00:51:05When the tsunami wave loses its power, the sediment begins to fall,
00:51:09and now it forms a second layer on top of the first.
00:51:12Amongst this vertical tree that hasn't fossilized yet.
00:51:15Now if that tree could be buried with 30 feet of sediment
00:51:20in just, say, a week,
00:51:22you could easily accumulate the entire Grand Canyon stack layers
00:51:26in a year's time.
00:51:28It is the explanation that defeats the evolution time,
00:51:32and it actually defeats the theory of evolution.
00:51:35This is the single most important geological fact,
00:51:38and nobody seems to teach this in college or in the evolution world.
00:51:43Evolutionists claim that the Earth is millions of years old,
00:51:48and one of their so-called proofs are stratified rock layers
00:51:52found within the geologic column.
00:51:55Evolutionists teach that each layer
00:51:57represents millions of years of rock formation,
00:52:01based upon their uniformitarian view
00:52:03that says you can make assumptions about the past
00:52:06based upon processes today.
00:52:08But in doing so, you're assuming that there are no catastrophic events
00:52:12like a global flood.
00:52:14Evolutionists also ignore the flood evidence
00:52:17contained within these rock layers,
00:52:20like sea creatures mixed together with land creatures.
00:52:24Just ask any coal miner.
00:52:26Anywhere on Earth they dig,
00:52:28they find countless sea creatures embedded in the rock.
00:52:33You see, the Bible refutes evolution theory,
00:52:36stating that it has only been roughly 6,000 years
00:52:40since the beginning of creation,
00:52:42giving the true account of how the sedimentary layers formed,
00:52:46as sedimentary rock is rock that is formed in water,
00:52:51which is also incredible testimony of a worldwide flood,
00:52:55given that the Earth's surface is made up mostly
00:52:59of water-formed sedimentary rock layers.
00:53:02The fact that the layers were actually formed in water
00:53:05also explains why there is no erosion found in between the layers,
00:53:10as there would be if the layers took millions of years to form.
00:53:14Then there's the issue of bended and folded rock,
00:53:18which could only occur if the layers were pliable
00:53:21and soft at the time of the bending,
00:53:24which is exactly what a global flood would cause.
00:53:28The bent layers also prove that their formation was rapid,
00:53:32with multiple layers forming rapidly on top of each other
00:53:36because the bottom layers would still have to be saturated with water
00:53:41and didn't have enough time to dry out.
00:53:43As forces acted upon the layers,
00:53:46they bent in unison from top to bottom.
00:53:49Claiming these layers folded together over millions of years while still forming
00:53:55cannot explain what geologists are observing.
00:53:59Only underwater rapid burial could explain these phenomena,
00:54:04remembering that sedimentary rock layers of which these are
00:54:08are formed in water in the first place.
00:54:12To further prove that these rock layers were formed quickly and in the flood
00:54:18is the fact that in countless places around the world,
00:54:22we find poly-straight trees.
00:54:24Poly meaning many and straight referring to the multiple layers
00:54:28that these trees are running through.
00:54:30If you understand anything about how organic matter decomposes,
00:54:34you'll know that it's impossible for trees to remain intact for millions of years
00:54:39while layers of dirt and debris slowly pile around them
00:54:43and rain and moisture rot the wood out.
00:54:48Instead, what the evidence shows is that trees were swept up in the flood
00:54:53and carried off and as they became more waterlogged, they sank.
00:54:58Some trees would sink uniformly
00:55:01while other trees contained more water saturation
00:55:04in what was left of their bottom roots.
00:55:07These trees would be bottom heavy and float down to the floor but rest upright.
00:55:13Tsunami waves would carry in sediments
00:55:16that would bury the trees quickly in multiple layers.
00:55:20In fact, geologists discovered that the same sand from the eastern side of America
00:55:25had been carried in tsunami waves all the way to the west side of the continent.
00:55:30This explains how the rock layers contained fossils of sea creatures
00:55:34mixed in with land plants
00:55:36and it also explains why the trees are missing their root systems
00:55:40and most importantly why the trees are found running straight through multiple rock layers
00:55:45that evolutionists are claiming are millions of years old.
00:55:49Let's also not forget that some of these layers are the size of continents
00:55:54indicating that these trees and rocks were laid down in a single and catastrophic event
00:56:00and not local floods at different times.
00:56:03Today, we assume that fossils are a normal part of the cycle of life
00:56:08since we see so many of them all over the world
00:56:10yet fossilization is not what we observe at all when something dies today.
00:56:15Thankfully, dead matter does not fossilize today under normal conditions
00:56:20but instead God made dead matter to break down and return to the earth.
00:56:25The fact that we see so many fossils indicates that there was a worldwide event
00:56:31that caused mass fossilization of all life on earth at one point in time.
00:56:37Think about it.
00:56:38If the earth today is covered 71% in water
00:56:42water formed sedimentary rock layers made up most of the rock on earth.
00:56:47Inside those rock layers are sea creatures mixed in with land creatures.
00:56:52Some of these sedimentary layers span entire continents
00:56:55meaning they were formed all together in one event.
00:56:59Multiple layers are bent and folded together proving rapid burial events created them.
00:57:05We find trees spanning through multiple layers of rock
00:57:09and all over the globe we find massive areas of erosion such as great canyons carved out.
00:57:16It is obvious that God left all of this evidence behind as a testimony to the biblical flood.
00:57:27The second most powerful evidence are the fossils that are in these sedimentary layers
00:57:34to produce a fossil requires in most cases especially for the larger kinds of organisms
00:57:41requires complete burial and rapid burial
00:57:46and that automatically speaks of catastrophic conditions.
00:57:50So the fact that we find so many fossils so well preserved
00:57:55many of them with evidence that the animals were buried alive
00:57:59is another powerful evidence for a flood cataclysm.
00:58:03There's a lot of fossils in museums.
00:58:06In fact the museums are full. They don't want any more fossils.
00:58:09The basements are full.
00:58:11Museums have collected 1 billion fossils
00:58:15and scientists suggest that in the rocks and you can find these
00:58:19there are trillions of fossils.
00:58:22If you see an animal die along the side of the road like a possum or a deer
00:58:27pretty soon that deer or that possum is gone.
00:58:30The bones disintegrate. Scavengers come.
00:58:33The mice eat the bones. The pelt falls apart.
00:58:36Ten years later it's just dust. There's nothing.
00:58:39And yet there's these trillion fossils.
00:58:42Here's why we have a trillion fossils.
00:58:44There was this enormous flood. It was a worldwide flood.
00:58:47Tsunamis were racing across bringing in sediment and quickly burying these animals.
00:58:52As the flood receded all this ocean water percolated back through these
00:58:58through the sand that was covering the animals
00:59:01and provided the minerals to change the bones into fossils.
00:59:05And that's how you get trillions of fossils. You have to have a worldwide flood.
00:59:09The one thing we frequently observe is that the fossils have been exquisitely preserved.
00:59:14What do I mean by that?
00:59:16Well we find all the details preserved in place.
00:59:19For example fish about to swallow another fish and it's been buried.
00:59:25That tells you it had to be very rapid to preserve those details.
00:59:30Another example we've got ichthyosaurs which are marine reptiles.
00:59:34Some of these up to six feet long.
00:59:36And they've been buried in the process of giving birth to a baby.
00:59:41Another case of 10-12 foot long fish with an undigested fish in its stomach.
00:59:46The details of wings of wasps.
00:59:51The wings are open and the legs are in the fly position.
00:59:56What can we think about? They were flying.
00:59:59And those insects were trying to escape. They're trying to go somewhere.
01:00:03But they just got trapped with all the sediments of the waters of the flood.
01:00:08And that's why we can study them.
01:00:11All these details require extremely rapid burial.
01:00:16It fits exactly with what the Bible says. It's consistent.
01:00:19The destruction of the flood was rapid, sudden, catastrophic on a global scale.
01:00:25Preserving these creatures sometimes in life positions.
01:00:29Caught in the action of doing something.
01:00:32And the details exquisitely preserved.
01:00:35That's consistent with the biblical record of the flood.
01:00:38It may surprise you to learn that all of the rock layers of the world.
01:00:45The name rock layers like the Cambrian, the Jurassic.
01:00:48All of the layers of the world have saltwater creatures.
01:00:52What greater proof would you need that this was from a worldwide flood.
01:00:58That there's saltwater creatures in all the layers.
01:01:01Now this is in the middle of the continents.
01:01:03How did these saltwater creatures get here?
01:01:06It would have to be a flood.
01:01:08Now the evolution scientists have to explain where these saltwater creatures came from.
01:01:13How they got there.
01:01:14You're saying Mr. Evolution Scientist.
01:01:16That there's saltwater creatures in all these layers.
01:01:19And you're saying the oceans rose.
01:01:21Covered the middle of the United States and went back down.
01:01:24Went back up. Went back down.
01:01:26Multiple times. At least a dozen times.
01:01:28Occam's razor would say.
01:01:30It's more simple to believe in one flood.
01:01:32Than more than a dozen worldwide floods.
01:01:35It was in the 1980s.
01:01:37That the secular geologists began to move to catastrophism.
01:01:42And move away from uniformitarianism.
01:01:45As soon as it suited their needs.
01:01:47They went to catastrophism when it served their purposes.
01:01:50To help explain the extinction of the dinosaurs.
01:01:53Notice flood provides a better explanation for the demise of the dinosaurs.
01:01:57Than the impact in Yucatan.
01:02:00Simply because that event is so small.
01:02:03So localized.
01:02:05There's no way it could have a physical effect.
01:02:08That would cause the dinosaurs to be buried the way we find them.
01:02:12And nobody in the secular world even claims that.
01:02:15They say well it produced climate change.
01:02:18That caused the dinosaurs to starve to death.
01:02:21If you go on Wikipedia today.
01:02:24And look up dinosaur extinction.
01:02:26Or Chicxulub crater.
01:02:28An asteroid sunk and hit the earth.
01:02:31Caused a global cooling.
01:02:33Because of all the dust in the air.
01:02:35And the dinosaurs died out at that time.
01:02:37We have simulations where we've thrown the Chicxulub seismometer right on the earth.
01:02:43Using high performance computing.
01:02:45And then we get the subduction event.
01:02:47And we get the breakup of the lithosphere.
01:02:49And we start the earthquakes.
01:02:50We start the volcanoes.
01:02:51Actually meteoritic impacts could have initiated that event.
01:02:55But it has no power to explain the burial of these huge animals in the sediment record.
01:03:02In the 1980s.
01:03:03Secular scientists began to theorize.
01:03:06That it was an asteroid that crashed into the earth.
01:03:09And wiped out nearly all of life on its surface.
01:03:12The theory posits that massive tsunamis.
01:03:15And volcanic dust filled air as a result of the impact.
01:03:19Are what destroyed the dinosaurs.
01:03:21And most other life in a worldwide disaster.
01:03:24Secular scientists could not escape the fact.
01:03:27That water and volcanism played a massive role.
01:03:31In how life was once wiped out on earth.
01:03:34But the Bible had already written.
01:03:37That the earth had been catastrophically destroyed.
01:03:40Through volcanism and water.
01:03:42And they didn't want to validate the Bible.
01:03:44So they came up with their own catastrophic version of events.
01:03:49I.e. the asteroid impact theory.
01:03:52You see the Bible's book of Genesis.
01:03:55Had already made clear what happened in the past in detail.
01:03:59Describing volcanic activity bursting open from the ocean floors.
01:04:03Chronicling when the volcanic activity began and ceased.
01:04:08How long the rain poured.
01:04:10How high the waters reached.
01:04:12As well as giving the very reason.
01:04:14Why God judged and destroyed the world with the flood in the first place.
01:04:20You are essentially given two choices today.
01:04:23On the one hand you have a book written thousands of years ago.
01:04:28Giving an amazingly detailed account of a worldwide flood.
01:04:32That wiped out virtually all life on earth.
01:04:35On the other hand you have man-made theories.
01:04:39In this case one that was only first postulated about 40 years ago.
01:04:44Due to the inadequacy of their prior non-catastrophic models.
01:04:49That they know really didn't work.
01:04:51Both views require a catastrophic event with global implications.
01:04:56But only one has the power to actually explain the stratification of the earth's surface.
01:05:03And the trillions of fossils.
01:05:05Along with cultures around the world citing a global flood in their historical writings and legends.
01:05:13While the other merely rearranges elements from the true account to concoct its own story.
01:05:20Think about it.
01:05:22The Bible already said long ago that the entire world's surface was destroyed catastrophically.
01:05:28They have no choice but to make that same claim.
01:05:32The Bible said that the continents were once together in the beginning.
01:05:36It looks like they have to share that too.
01:05:39Nearly all animal life on earth was wiped out during the destruction.
01:05:44A fact that they also couldn't ignore.
01:05:47Marine life was scattered across the world.
01:05:50The Bible says the waters went above the highest mountains.
01:05:54Secular scientists formulated their own theories as to how to explain the marine fossils away.
01:06:01The earth's original environment was permanently destroyed.
01:06:05The pre-flood paradise was gone.
01:06:08In the secular model, they refer to this as the prehistoric world going extinct.
01:06:14And let's not forget that the flood set the processes into motion for much of the world to be frozen over.
01:06:22Hot oceans produce evaporations and greater snowfall.
01:06:26Volcanoes send volumes of aerosols into the atmosphere, blocking the sun.
01:06:32Greater snowfall with cooler summers results in global ice sheets.
01:06:38Evolutionists have called these results of the flood the Ice Age.
01:06:43One of these is constantly being proven true as more and more evidence is discovered over time.
01:06:50While the other was only invented after the evidence was unearthed.
01:06:56And further still, contained within the Bible is also the prediction that all of this would happen.
01:07:04In the second book of Peter, we are told that in the last days, which is the time fast approaching,
01:07:10unbelievers would be willingly ignorant of the flood.
01:07:14Meaning that secular men and women would consciously choose to believe
01:07:19and create lies that allow them to push the catastrophic event into the distant past.
01:07:25So long ago and so far away, it ceases to be scientific history and becomes scientific fantasy.
01:07:33The irony can only be described as biblical.
01:07:35The Bible makes it clear that the end times would be characterized by increasing unbelief of the biblical account of history and the flood event itself.
01:07:45Sadly, the religion of evolution is one in which its priests are constantly updating their outdated theories.
01:07:52While in the Bible, we are given the final true and unchanging account.
01:07:58And as the evidence is unearthed over time, the biblical account is always proven to be true.
01:08:08If you go to a museum today and look at the dinosaur displays, you'll notice that the animals look strange and unusual with the dinosaurs.
01:08:22Have you ever seen a boa constrictor at a museum display wrapped around a T-Rex's leg?
01:08:28No, but they have found boa constrictors with dinosaurs.
01:08:32Have you ever seen a box turtle at the feet of a Stegosaurus?
01:08:36No, but they found box turtles with dinosaurs.
01:08:40Have you ever seen a T-Rex with a duck flying over him?
01:08:44No, but ducks have been found with dinosaurs.
01:08:48All seven groups of animals today have been found with the dinosaurs and they look the same.
01:08:56Museum displays don't show that.
01:08:58So if they actually put the animals they found with the dinosaurs, people would look at those displays and say, well, evolution hasn't occurred.
01:09:07It's just the dinosaurs went extinct.
01:09:09But scientists have withheld the modern animals from their dinosaur displays to promote the idea that evolution occurred.
01:09:18You know, the soft tissue analysis in dinosaurs that's been recent has been a little bit of an enigma to those who believe that the Earth and universe is really old.
01:09:30Mary Schweitzer in the 1990s and early 2000s first found this like elastic material in arteries.
01:09:39Elastic material means you pull it and it and it and it reloads back to its original place.
01:09:44Dinosaur soft tissue is a very recent finding.
01:09:48They don't want it really getting out.
01:09:51It's not in any of the textbooks.
01:09:54This lady cracked open or cut open one of the bones and you could smell the putrefaction.
01:10:03Dinosaur bones shouldn't smell like they're dying because they've been dead for millions of years, right?
01:10:09Well, a little bit later, Mark Armitage started looking at the horn of the Triceratops.
01:10:14But he found bone materials, tissue and bone, the osteocytes that actually you pull it and it had strains.
01:10:21Strains are how much you deform something.
01:10:23It had up to almost 100 percent strain.
01:10:26Muscle tissue in the Santana raptor fossil.
01:10:29And it was like dinosaur beef jerky on the leg bone of a dinosaur.
01:10:34It was the actual muscle.
01:10:36This Dessler's horse bone is the same thing.
01:10:38We started looking inside of this bone and we found using scanning electron microscopy that it had elastic material.
01:10:45It had tissue.
01:10:46You pull it apart and it goes back.
01:10:48If this was mineralized or was a fossil that became a rock, you couldn't do this.
01:10:53So it was never mineralized, never petrified.
01:10:56It was still elastic, meaning it was still the tissue.
01:10:59That means this thing is not 100 million years old.
01:11:04The biblical account expects to find some of that stuff.
01:11:09So like what was it?
01:11:10Bone marrow, red blood cells, cartilage, collagen, hemoglobin and muscle fiber proteins.
01:11:17These things shouldn't be able to last but 100,000 years tops.
01:11:21But these things were 100 million years old.
01:11:24OK, 68 million years old, but closer to 100 million.
01:11:27The amino acids in the protein strands would unbuckle and fall apart into protein powder and there is no explanation to this day.
01:11:35Nothing that makes any decent scientific sense and it's just been left as an anomaly.
01:11:40Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed Mary Schweitzer and some others and then turned the attention to the medullary layer.
01:11:48They tried to distract the attention away from the red blood cells.
01:11:52The medullary layer was there showing that the T. rex that this bone came from was at the time carrying eggs.
01:11:58That's really what we call a shell game, a smoke and mirrors game.
01:12:03A dog and pony show meant to distract away from the elephant in the room, which was there were proteins in that T. rex bone.
01:12:13Now, Mark Armitage working at University of California did find soft tissue inside of a triceratops horn.
01:12:21And when he published that finding, they fired him.
01:12:26So they are willingly ignorant, squelching the truth.
01:12:30And this is actually not science.
01:12:33This is propaganda.
01:12:35Now we're talking about thought control and the mind police.
01:12:40They wanted to fire him because they felt that this was a religious position when really he had only brought forth a scientific discovery.
01:12:48In 1993, a film titled Jurassic Park featured a rather famous scene in which the remains of an ancient mosquito were preserved encased in a ball of hardened ember.
01:13:01The film goes on to explain that the way scientists could resurrect the dinosaurs from the past was by extracting blood from the remains inside this mosquito.
01:13:11In which dinosaur DNA could be fully sequenced by combining what was missing with that of a modern day frog.
01:13:20This idea came about because back in the 90s, the writer Michael Crichton was struggling to come up with a concept to explain how dinosaurs could somehow be brought back to life in a feasible way in his book of the same title.
01:13:35What the Jurassic Park creators couldn't have imagined was the discovery of soft tissue inside of a dinosaur bone.
01:13:45A finding that has since been replicated by other scientists, such as this stretching triceratops tissue discovered by Mark Armitage.
01:13:54These discoveries shocked the entire paleontological community and would likely have rewritten the original Jurassic Park film had they known this was possible at the time.
01:14:06In fact, scientists have run into major challenges when attempting to publish these findings because of the wholesale rejection that dinosaur soft tissue could even still exist.
01:14:19The consensus at the time agreed that it was completely impossible because everyone held to the widespread belief that the bones were millions of years old, which would require that all of their biomaterial had long since fossilized.
01:14:36There was simply no way that these dinosaur bones contained biomaterial like blood vessels and proteins such as collagen.
01:14:46In fact, of the 16 types of bio-organic materials that have since been discovered inside dinosaur bones, collagen by itself ends the debate on these bones being millions of years old,
01:14:59as the maximum age of collagen is as low as 10,000 years by some estimates and as high as 900,000 years by others, with 100,000 years being the generally agreed upon maximum age.
01:15:15To put this into perspective, if each of these tiny bars represents a period of 100,000 years, then only one of these bars represents the maximum age collagen could survive over time.
01:15:31If we zoom out to the time span of 100 million years, then we can see that the lifespan of collagen is 1,000 times shorter than the general age evolutionists claim dinosaur bones are.
01:15:44Or another way to say it is that collagen doesn't even last .001% as long as it would have to in order for evolution theory to work.
01:15:56Proving that it's not even remotely within the realm of possibility that collagen could survive for so long.
01:16:04The relatively short shelf life of collagen proves what the bible has been saying about these bones all along.
01:16:12That they're roughly 4,400 years old and were buried all over the world around the time of Noah's flood.
01:16:27As the flood waters began to recede, the earth was in a state of chaos.
01:16:36Dinosaur graveyards like these would later be found all over the earth.
01:16:42And secular paleontologists agree that these worldwide sites share one thing in common.
01:16:51The state the bones are found in all show evidence of flood burial.
01:16:58And now you understand exactly where the water came from.
01:17:04Water that would eventually dry up because it didn't belong there in the first place.
01:17:13The whole earth would undergo a massive reset as vegetation would slowly grow back and water would find its final resting places.
01:17:26Sadly, the earth that was once a perfect habitat for dinosaurs was now irrevocably ruined.
01:17:39And those dinosaurs that were able to survive would be hunted to extinction over time.
01:17:47We know them as dinosaurs, but legend would remember them as dragons.
01:17:56And so it was that on the 17th day of the 7th month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
01:18:09It was a little over a year after the flood began that Noah, his family and all on board the ark would finally step onto dry land again.
01:18:22This group of eight people would repopulate the earth just as legends around the world cite in their historical literature.
01:18:36And science would later prove that this genetic bottleneck really did occur.
01:18:44Exactly as the Bible had told us all along.
01:18:55In terms of looking at the way ideas progress, we know that history can become more mythical.
01:19:02Myth, as a core idea, cannot become more historical. It doesn't go the other way.
01:19:07History can become more historical. Myth becomes more mythical.
01:19:11And if you start with myth, you end up with myth. You can never go the other way.
01:19:15So we can see as a genre how different they are.
01:19:18There's been about 200 flood traditions discovered by anthropologists, missionaries and others.
01:19:25And many of these flood traditions come from people groups that don't even live near the ocean.
01:19:31There are hundreds of flood legends from around the world.
01:19:34But in many of these cases, you have huge similarities to the biblical account.
01:19:37You have one righteous family that is saved.
01:19:39And the reason for the flood is because God was angry. The gods were angry at something that humanity had done.
01:19:44They all talk about man and animals surviving on some kind of a boat.
01:19:50There are lots of similarities, but the true account is in Genesis.
01:19:54Some of the evidence of that is just in the description of the ark.
01:19:58The Babylonian Gilgamesh epic has a cube for the ark.
01:20:04Well, that would just roll in the water and everything would die.
01:20:08The biblical account has a flood. Its duration is 371 days.
01:20:13But when we come to the Gilgamesh epic, it's merely six days.
01:20:17It only took one week to build this huge ark.
01:20:20It took Noah probably 55 years or something in that range to construct his ark.
01:20:26The biblical account is the true account.
01:20:28And these other stories are the result of people migrating from the Tower of Babel after the flood
01:20:36and preserving in their memory an echo of the true account that is recorded in Genesis.
01:20:42And the farther they moved away from the Middle East and any contact with the true account,
01:20:48the more the story got corrupted over time.
01:20:53And so that explains the differences as well as the similarities.
01:20:57The biblical account, by all measure, stands independent from the others.
01:21:02They certainly had a common core in history. There was an event that happened.
01:21:06We've actually recorded about 23 different accounts that are very similar to Babel,
01:21:11where people were trying to build this tower and the gods were angry or God was angry
01:21:15and forced them to scatter by confusing their language.
01:21:18And then from Genesis 12 onward, we don't see similarities anymore.
01:21:21There's no Abraham legend, there's no Isaac legend or David legend, anything like that.
01:21:25But Genesis 1 through 11, people all around the globe seem to know about why.
01:21:30Because what the Bible's telling us is true.
01:21:32And up until Genesis 11 at the Babel event, mankind had a shared history.
01:21:36And then they took that history with them, they passed it along, and it gets distorted as the years go by.
01:21:41After the flood, God blesses Noah and his sons, tells them to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth.
01:21:45The same sort of thing that he told Adam and Eve.
01:21:47So in a sense, man gets to start over.
01:21:49And yet, what do we see just a few generations later?
01:21:52The people refuse to scatter.
01:21:54They said, no, we're going to stay right here in the Mesopotamian Valley.
01:21:57And they began to build a tower.
01:22:00They had a one world government.
01:22:02Genesis 11 tells us that God stopped that building project
01:22:06by supernaturally creating different languages to force the people to move apart
01:22:12according to their families into different nations.
01:22:16People then, who were biologically, genetically very close, began to marry within their language group.
01:22:24And from what we know of genetics, that would bring out recessive genes to become dominant
01:22:30and physical characteristics associated with that.
01:22:33But the Bible's very clear.
01:22:35There's only one race, Adam's race.
01:22:37Paul says that God made from one man or one blood all the nations to dwell upon the face of the earth.
01:22:44So there's absolutely no basis for saying that one group of people with a certain shade of brown skin
01:22:51are superior or inferior to some other people who have a different shade of brown skin.
01:22:56We have no basis to hate people that look different from us,
01:23:00because in reality, everybody looks different from me.
01:23:03So if I were going to hate people that look different from me, I'd have to hate everybody.
01:23:07So we should be loving and accepting because we're all descended from the same couple, Adam and Eve.
01:23:15You know, the interesting thing is that most evidence shows that humanity started in the Middle East,
01:23:21which we'd expect if the Tower of Babel was true.
01:23:23All these languages seem to have diverged from about that region.
01:23:28As what was now left of the Ark rested in the mountains of Ararat,
01:23:34God made a covenant with Noah, promising him and all of his posterity
01:23:42that he would never again destroy the earth and all life on it with a flood.
01:23:50And God blessed Noah and his sons and commanded them to once again multiply and spread out upon the earth.
01:24:00But on the plains of Shinar, men disobeyed God's command.
01:24:05And instead, they came together to build a city and a great tower they intended to reach Babel.
01:24:16And a great tower they intended to reach to the heavens in an ultimate act of rebellion and rejection of God.
01:24:28But God came down and put a stop to their tower by dividing their once unified language into many languages.
01:24:46And out of confusion and fear, they stopped building the tower
01:24:51and dispersed into what would become the nations of the world.
01:24:58It was within a few centuries after Noah and his family departed from the Ark
01:25:10that the people of the world were of one language.
01:25:13But today, there are over 7,000 languages in the world,
01:25:18which trace back to an ancestral family group that each belongs to.
01:25:24For example, Italian can be traced back to Latin, its root language family.
01:25:30However, when linguists attempted to trace the root language families further upstream,
01:25:36they encountered a serious problem.
01:25:39The language families would eventually lead to dead ends, otherwise known as language isolates.
01:25:46This directly contradicts the merged root language that evolutionists were expecting to find
01:25:51or what some linguists theoretically call the elusive proto-world language.
01:25:57Instead, what they find are a bunch of languages that seem to have emerged out of nowhere,
01:26:04unless, of course, you factor in the events that took place at the Tower of Babel,
01:26:10which provides an incredible explanation evolutionists refuse to accept.
01:26:17Further still, consider that when you trace known languages on a map,
01:26:22something very telling occurs.
01:26:25Many of the earliest languages trace back to one location on Earth,
01:26:29a place commonly referred to as the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia.
01:26:36And what's also revealing is that the time frame of many languages
01:26:42also trace back to that approximate point in time,
01:26:46which is just after the Flood and Tower of Babel in the 3rd millennium BC.
01:26:52Furthermore, linguists believe that approximately 94 proto-language families should exist in theory,
01:26:59and they also believe that this number may lower over time,
01:27:03as more research leads to more mergers.
01:27:06By no coincidence, there are approximately 70 people groups in the Biblical Table of Nations,
01:27:13recorded in the Bible around the time of the Babel event.
01:27:17What are the odds that the estimated root language families
01:27:21so closely reflect the same number of the nations the Bible lists at the time of the Tower of Babel?
01:27:29And what's more is that these people groups also have myths and legends within their cultures
01:27:36of both an ancient flood that destroyed the world
01:27:39and a time when their ancestors attempted to build a tower.
01:27:44These stories, of course, vary, but the core elements tend to remain intact,
01:27:49with the Cherokee and other Native American tribes even including
01:27:53that their language was once changed much earlier in history,
01:27:58as only one example of hundreds.
01:28:02In like fashion, human genetics also reveal a similar pattern to the languages.
01:28:08As the genes extracted from over 100 human remains from the so-called Bronze Age era
01:28:15revealed that the further back in time you go, the less genetic mixing there was,
01:28:21with their data showing relatively unmixed genetic lineages around the time of Babel.
01:28:28Which, of course, is no coincidence.
01:28:32Only God's supernatural intervention can explain the multifaceted bottleneck
01:28:38we see across so many fields of science.
01:28:41It was at this event that God changed the entire course of human history once again.
01:28:47It was also after Babel that God instituted human government,
01:28:51and at a time when nationalism is being attacked by those wishing to establish a one-world government,
01:28:58it is important to remember that it was God who divided the world into nations.
01:29:03It was God who was against the man-centered, godless society mankind was beginning to fashion.
01:29:10And as any historian will tell you, history has a way of repeating itself.
01:29:18When we come to the story of Noah's Ark, it's more than just a story.
01:29:22It certainly is a part of vital history.
01:29:25Babel was an ancient world, and that ancient world, because of corruption, was destroyed by a flood.
01:29:32And that was the judgment that was on mankind.
01:29:34Since man has not changed, there is yet a future judgment coming.
01:29:38It'll be just as it was in the days of Noah.
01:29:40They'll be giving and taking in marriage.
01:29:42They were having families, they were doing their work, they were just living life as normal.
01:29:46They didn't believe the judgment was coming.
01:29:49The flood did come, and people were not ready.
01:29:52Before the flood, people were eating and drinking and married and giving in marriage,
01:29:56with a total disregard for the building of the Ark, to what was being preached to them, to all the things around them.
01:30:03And Jesus says, just before He returns, people will be in rebellion, ignoring God,
01:30:09just going on, living their life as if God doesn't exist.
01:30:12They will be surprised when Jesus comes and brings judgment.
01:30:17There was a judgment that happened, there's a judgment that is coming.
01:30:20We need to be prepared.
01:30:21The Bible does talk about the last days, the end times.
01:30:25Biblical evil, if you look at all of the different Old Testament accounts,
01:30:31would be idolatry, witchcraft, the occultism, demon worship, and things like that,
01:30:39and the perversions that go along with these things.
01:30:43Public schools now are teaching against the idea of marriage.
01:30:50They want to corrupt the minds of innocent hearts, long before they've even thought about sex,
01:30:56at the earliest possible age, not just sexualized, but sexualized in terms of all possible forms of deviation.
01:31:03Of course, we have the plague of abortion, the sins of Molech, the burning of children,
01:31:11the plague of sex trafficking, and the exploitation of the vulnerable.
01:31:16These things are the evils and the darknesses of our age,
01:31:19and they've become more prevalent and even massively institutionalized.
01:31:24It's a very good sign, not a good sign, but an accurate sign,
01:31:28that we're in the same kind of darkness that was in the days of Noah.
01:31:32And you see that we are in that darkness now.
01:31:35When's the Lord coming back?
01:31:36The Bible says that nobody knows, but when it comes, everyone's going to know all at once,
01:31:42like lightning across the sky.
01:31:44And I tell you, I want to be on the right side.
01:31:46Who doesn't like being on the winning team at the end?
01:31:49I know in this case, it's especially vital in the eternity sense.
01:31:53Eternity is a timeless thing.
01:31:56We don't understand infinity, but we do know it's permanent.
01:32:00The second coming is a wonderful, wonderful image, but it's also a time of judgment.
01:32:06It's also a time of finality.
01:32:09It's also a time of justice.
01:32:12Just as the flood came suddenly, so the second coming of Christ will be sudden.
01:32:20Just as the flood was certain, so the second coming of Christ is certain and will actually happen.
01:32:27That judgment of the flood is a warning of the judgment to come.
01:32:32Jesus Christ is the most written of an influential person in all of world history.
01:32:42But what has made so many throughout the millennia believe that he is who he says he was?
01:32:49God in human flesh, the savior of mankind, the Messiah who was prophesied of in the Bible.
01:32:59You see, the Bible is the only book on earth that has repeatedly proved its inspiration of God.
01:33:07By virtue of telling us the future in advance.
01:33:11For example, around 626 BC, Jeremiah the prophet predicted Israel would be conquered.
01:33:19Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed.
01:33:23And the Babylonians would rule over God's people, taking them captive into exile for 70 years.
01:33:29And shortly after his prophecy was written, that's exactly what happened around 587 BC.
01:33:37Then there's Isaiah, who wrote that Babylon's gates would open for Cyrus, a king who wouldn't be born for over 150 years.
01:33:47And in 539 BC, the formidable city's gates were indeed opened to a king named Cyrus and his army.
01:33:56And as foretold, Babylon was destroyed, which both Jeremiah and Isaiah prophesied would happen.
01:34:04And then there's the famous prophecy of Daniel, in which he predicted the appearance of the Messiah, claiming that he would come 483 years after a decree would be made to rebuild Jerusalem, which is exactly the time in which Jesus appeared.
01:34:22And when it comes to Jesus fulfilling prophecies, there are hundreds concerning him alone.
01:34:28Scripture said that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, that the Christ would live in Galilee.
01:34:34He would teach parables, be rejected by the rulers, be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
01:34:40And it was even prophesied that he would be crucified, not stoned to death, at a time when crucifixion hadn't even yet been invented.
01:34:49Furthermore, there are other prophecies, much like Daniel's, that also tell us the timeline of the Messiah.
01:34:58His birth had to happen before the scepter of Judah departed, while the temple was still standing, but before it would be destroyed.
01:35:11And very notably, he had to come while genealogical records still existed to prove his lineage was of the line of David.
01:35:21Those records perished when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
01:35:25Strikingly, Jesus Christ walked the earth during exactly the critical period when a multitude of prophecies about the Messiah converged.
01:35:35You see, Jesus warned us that in the last days, the time we are now on the threshold of, there would come a false Messiah,
01:35:45who would deceive many into believing that he is the one prophesied about.
01:35:50Scripture refers to this false Messiah as the Antichrist.
01:35:56The Bible says that during this short period of time soon to come, the Antichrist and his system of governance will rise to power.
01:36:06Much like what happened at the Tower of Babel, this singular entity will rule, with nationalism in many places being abolished,
01:36:14as their sovereignty will collapse into a single system of total control.
01:36:21Many who don't think and believe, as the Antichrist declares, will not be able to buy or sell.
01:36:27Many will be put to death.
01:36:29Today, a mass global awakening is transpiring, where individuals, irrespective of politics,
01:36:36discern the burgeoning Antichrist-like infrastructure that is developing all around them,
01:36:42many recognizing that the plagues, famines, wars, hyperinflation, lawlessness, and acts of nature prophesied of in the Bible
01:36:51are appearing to be orchestrated by design, a deliberate transition.
01:36:56As we are on the cusp of a satanic rise of power, a time the Bible calls the Great Tribulation.
01:37:05It's a time in which God will focus his attention back on Israel specifically,
01:37:10as Israel is at the center of many of the biblical prophecies which have yet to be fulfilled.
01:37:15Even now, we can already see one such prophecy found in Zechariah,
01:37:20in which God said that in the last days he would make Israel a nation of distress to all the nations surrounding it.
01:37:29Incredible insight when considering that such a small spot on earth will be at the center of a coming global war.
01:37:40And as the climactic end to God's prophetic plans draw near, the Lord's return and Israel's redemption lie ahead.
01:37:50Out of profound love, God postponed his son's return for earthly judgment.
01:37:56You see, mankind are all guilty of committing terrible sins before a holy God.
01:38:03If each person were to give an individual accounting to God on their own merit, they would certainly face a terrible judgment.
01:38:11But here's the good news.
01:38:14God's masterful plan as unveiled in Corinthians reveals that while humanity collectively inherited condemnation through one man's disobedience, Adam,
01:38:25they can now find forgiveness and salvation through the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ.
01:38:33If one man can bring death to all through his sin, then it follows that a sinless man can bring life to all through his obedience.
01:38:43Thankfully, God in his wisdom and mercy has given us a simple and easy way to be justified in his sight.
01:38:52And that is through his son, Jesus Christ.
01:39:00The Bible tells us that God created a perfect world.
01:39:05Adam sinned.
01:39:07And because of Adam's sin, we are all born sinners.
01:39:11But we also choose to sin.
01:39:13We choose to rebel against God.
01:39:15Every one of us has broken the Ten Commandments in thought or word or deed, through the evil that we have done or the good that we have failed to do,
01:39:27through ignorance, through weakness, or through our own deliberate fault.
01:39:32We're all guilty before God.
01:39:34We all deserve his judgment.
01:39:36And the Bible says in Romans that the wages of sin or the penalty of sin is death.
01:39:42And so God sent his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the cross, to take the wrath of God for us, pay the penalty for sin.
01:39:52And then he rose from the dead, proving that he had paid that penalty, that he had conquered death, and that he could give us eternal life.
01:40:00We need to respond to what Jesus has done.
01:40:03Every one of us.
01:40:05No one can respond for us.
01:40:07We must each personally acknowledge to God that we have sinned against him, that we deserve his judgment,
01:40:14and then put our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Lord.
01:40:19And when we do that, we're forgiven.
01:40:22We're restored to a right relationship with God, to a personal relationship with God.
01:40:28And we're given the gift of eternal life.
01:40:31We've heard that the Ark of Noah was an ark constructed for the salvation of mankind.
01:40:37It had one door in it, and that was a single entrance.
01:40:41That was done by design.
01:40:43God also only has one way of salvation.
01:40:47That way of salvation in the ark was to preserve them through God's judgment, which was the flood.
01:40:52And someone had to trust in God and accept him and come his way, which is that one way into the ark, in order to be saved.
01:41:00The real problem for us is not the one way to God.
01:41:04It's God.
01:41:05It's that we're wanting to come to someone who now tells us what we need.
01:41:10We need his salvation.
01:41:12Tells us we're sinners, which we don't want to hear.
01:41:15Tells us we need to depend upon him.
01:41:17And I think ultimately all of us deep down realize we are not what we should be.
01:41:22That there is a God who made all these things.
01:41:24We certainly didn't do it.
01:41:26All the creation, all the irreducible complexities, all the things that exist simply argue there is a creator.
01:41:33If that's the case, then we're creatures.
01:41:35And what better place for the creature than in a relationship with the creator?
01:41:38The creator made that possible by himself going through all the things that we go through,
01:41:43but ultimately dying in our place, because that's what our sin deserved.
01:41:47Jesus himself said, John 14, 6, he said,
01:41:56So if we come to the one who is God in the flesh, the one who came to provide redemption for us,
01:42:03and we trust him and take him at his word, he says,
01:42:06I will save you. That's the way to God, and I'm the way.
01:42:09Come to me and you have all that was promised in the Bible.
01:42:13Eternal life. A relationship with God.
01:42:16And everything that beyond what we can even imagine in this life,
01:42:21there's a whole life yet to come that God has promised to those who love him.
01:42:252,000 years ago, God the father sent his son to the world to usher in a new era of righteousness and peace.
01:42:45But they rejected the true Messiah.
01:42:50They hated the very one whom the Bible says created love, joy, beauty, and life itself.
01:43:05They took and crucified him in the very place he was to establish his glorious kingdom.
01:43:14But God the father raised him from the dead and made his sacrifice the salvation for many.
