Mystic420 User ID: 29979098 United States 12/16/2012 08:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Graham Hancock expresses it succinctly in his book called Underworld. Many millions of miles of coastline have been inundated destroying past civilizations that also liked living on the beach, due to rising sea level over the 16000 year period of heavy melting. Evidently, the Garden of Eden, which may either be IN and UNDER the Persian Gulf or somewhere in between the Tigris and Euphrates, when it was a lush paradise peppered with Anu's favorite fruit trees. About 12,000 years ago, ice shelves near the Tibetan mountain range, that had an exterior of solid ice but an INTERIOR akin to a pool, melted from the sun above and the earth below, the damn broke on that particular piece of history and that's where the bedouins of that area got their flood myth, with over 700 different versions from all over that continent, not all in the same time frame. ja |

It never rains all over the globe for 40 days, so you must ponder why it did. It did because some thugs who lived on earth and were at war, took down the firmament, the vapor barrier high up around earth, which is the why in the bible stating man saw not the sky. Life deteriorated a lot after this, from the radiation that has been pouring in every since. |

MHz User ID: 25505891 Canada 12/16/2012 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Partially, I have a few points we should go over so I stay on the right page. Answer: Genesis 6:3 says nothing about God giving Noah 120 years to build the ark. This verse says God gave those men 120 years before they would die in the flood. God gave them space to prevent it by their repentance and reformation. Quoting: True but it does say he was 500 when he had the 3 sons and the Ark was custom built for 8 persons and the rain came 100 years later. The 120 year determination was for the children of the 'sons of God'. That age limit also passed down to Moses when the law was changed because 6 fingered giants were about to be exterminated until they appear before God as relatives of their mothers (5 fingers)when the sea gives up her dead at the Great White Throne event. Ge:2:7: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Ec:3:20: All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ec:12:7: Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ge:6:2: That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Ge:6:3: And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. But there is nothing in scripture that says it took 120 years to build the ark. The ark could have been built the last month of the 120 years, scripture does not say. Quoting: Ge:5:32: And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ge:6:8: But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Ge:6:9: These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Ge:6:10: And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ge:7:6: And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. And as to why God had Noah build an ark, instead of having them migrate to a different land, only God knows. But through history, God has used physical objects to demonstrate spiritual truths. Quoting: Because the rains would cover all the land areas of the earth at the same time. Giants made a return because the 3 sons were married to 6 fingered wives and in one case the 6 fingered children married and had children, in the other cases the 5 fingered children became the sole survivor. For example, we know that, in Noah's day, the rainfall coming down from "heaven" had two different affects. Obviously, it was a destructive force as far as the lost were concerned. They were outside of the ark of safety, and therefore beyond any hope of survival. Quoting: That only applies to the ones that were born with human wives, the original fathers are angelic beings, that makes them immortal so 22ft of water is nothing for then as that travel between galaxies. In the days the windows were closed 10,000 holy Angels had a war with them and by the end of that they were all in the Pit.,The Beast from the Pit in Revelation is one such being and he will have 3 1/2 years to do the 'return' before being sent to the fiery lake. De:33:2: And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. However, when the water hit the earth it raised the ark. Raising the ark heavenward symbolizes our being "lifted up to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6). The same waters that destroyed the wicked also caused the people of God to be lifted up (thanks to the ark). God poured His judgments upon the ark. He knew it would stand fast. It was built to His plans and specifications. Quoting: The 3 sons being mentioned was 100 years before the rain, right? Why would God require the people to build an ark if He did not plan on sending the same judgments upon it as he sent upon the people who were not in it? Quoting: Noah and 3 sons were the last 5 fingered people alive, had they been genocided as planned no 'seed of Eve' could be born to bruise his head. The Ark was a God given escape route from judgments which fell upon them all. Quoting: It was 'plan b', 'plan a' was sin but not genocide until judgment day. The exile to Neb's Babylon was also a 'plan b' invoked when they started to kill the ones sent with messages from God. The forty days and nights of the flood are symbolic of God's judgments which fall primarily upon his people and the spiritual ark today. Quoting: Must have come as a surprise when the rain fell but failed to observe the law of gravity once it touched the ground. Even though the wicked drowned right away, God still had a purpose for the ark to go through the 40 day and night period in order to picture the spiritual type. Quoting: The flood was a year long event, please expand on it all. The judgments of God had to fall upon even his true people, but He had provided a means which would save them from those judgments. Quoting: He made sure a 5 fingered child would be concieved according to the plan. Also, Noah’s ark rested in the seventh month (Genesis 8:4), it rested on the sabbath (Leviticus 23:24,27,34,39,41)! Which shows, spiritually, how we are to rest on the sabbath as well. Quoting: Was that a law before the 10 Commandments? |
