LEGEND: Normal Text, Biblical Text, Extra-Biblical Text, Secular Text

THE PREMISE:

In this series of articles we have been looking at one scripture and we've then been examining what the ramifications of the words of Yeshua are concerning His warning. The scripture we have been looking is as follows:

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Luke 17:26

So far, we've seen in our study, that the days of Noah (Noe) had many parallels to our modern time in history. We saw that some rebellious angels left their heavenly estate and cohabitated with human woman and that the result of that union was what was known as the Nephilim. We also examined some extra-biblical texts; namely the book of Enoch, Jubilees and the Genesis Apocryphon and saw that they confirm the history where the angels are concerned as well as their offspring, the Nephilim. We also looked at the modern day Nephilim in the manner of them residing in genetically produced shells that some refer to as aliens or extraterrestrials.

We've also looked at what appears to be scripture as well as references from Jubilees and Jasher that show that the angels taught, among other things, the practice of gene manipulation to mankind. We now have a clear understanding of where the ancients got their many strange gods, such as the unicorn, the minotaur, the centaur and other oddities. They were stories passed down from the antediluvian period. We then saw how genetic manipulation is nothing but that practice revived in our modern day.

Thirdly, we looked at scripture and became aware that homosexuality and same-sex marriage really aren't anything new, but were quite the norm before Noah's flood that destroyed the world.

Now it's time to look at a physical trait of the earth that existed before the flood, and what might come about in our modern era.

EARTH WAS DIFFERENT BEFORE THE FLOOD:

There are scriptures that bear witness to the fact that before the flood of Noah's time, the world was a drastically different place. But before we do that, let's look at some of the physical evidence that we have that proves this point. What evidence do we have that we can touch with our own hands and see with our eyes plainly? We have the fossil record. Many of you reading this will no doubt be either unbelievers who believe in the false nonscientific assertion that everything you see evolved from basically nothing. There are others who will argue that God might have had a hand in assisting the evolutionary process over millions if not billions of years. I believe that God created all that exists in a scant 6 days and then refrained on the seventh day. But humor me for a while and assume that I'm right and that God's word is right. Let's start from the beginning.

Many would argue that the Biblical Creation scenario parallels the evolutionary one. That is a wrong assumption and a simple reading of the Biblical text will bear that out. For instance, evolution theory says that states that first there was land, then came the seas. The Bible states:

So God states (and who's a better witness) that he created the seas first and then brought forth the dry land after that. That is a direct refuting of the evolutionary belief. One has to be right and one has to be wrong; there is no melding of the two.

Let's look at the rest of the Creation event just for the fun of it:

Another difference comes in the creation of plant life. Evolution says that the sun was created first and then after a long time enough space junk compiled together to make the planets. Genesis says that after God made the earth there was no sun or moon. God says that He created the plant life on Earth on the third day, and then created the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day. If you try to meld the two, which some foolishly try to do; then I have to wonder how the plants, that thrive making their food by way of photosynthesis from sunlight could have possibly have survived for millions of years without the sun. In addition to that, according to the Biblical account, the animals that would be the pollinators of the plants were created either on the fifth or sixth day.

Evolution thought tells us that birds evolved from reptiles. The Creation account has the birds being created the day before any of the land animals; that includes the reptiles. Whales are created on the fifth day along with the fish all other aquatic animals according to God's testimony whereas evolution says that whales supposedly came millions of years after where the Bible places them; namely, with the fish. And we also see that there is a time factor. Time is what evolution is built upon; without time as a factor, evolution crumbles into the dust from whence it came. The Creation Account doesn't have to rely on time because an all powerful God can create anything He wants to in a very short amount of time. So we can see that there is no parallel between the Creation Model and the evolutionary thought.

SOME UNIQUE ANTEDILUVIAN EARTH FEATURES:

Ask any Bible scholar about the condition of the Earth before the flood of Noah and they'll tell you that things were very different on this planet. Let me clarify that a little. I meant that if you asked any Christian Bible Scholar. There are many people who study the Bible, both in the worldly setting and in a pseudo-Christian setting that will tell you differently. I refer to those who hold to the truth that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God; not those imposters who claim the name Christian, but who take scripture out of context or those who change the wording of the Bible to suit their agenda.

The Water or Ice Canopy:

In Genesis we find a very interesting scripture that, when studied in depth, lends a lot of explanation to some of the extraordinary claims made about the earth and it's inhabitants in antediluvian times. The following scripture is sort of odd and has been explained in different ways, but let's look at it and then examine it:

And God said, "Let there be an firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the firmament and separated the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:6-9

In this scripture, we can see that God made three different (four if you count the dry land) parts of the outer world. The first one is the "firmament in the midst of the waters." this firmament was made to separate the waters from the waters. This is not the dry land. That would be made later. There is now water under the firmament and water above the Firmament. The firmament is the atmosphere. For many years those who thought they knew better taught that the waters above the expanse were actually the clouds. There is no indication that clouds ever existed before the flood. We'll look at that statement in a little while.

God's Word is quite explicit, especially where God himself explains things. God specifically commanded that there be water above the firmament. He never commanded it to be "in" the firmament. He talks about the birds, commanding that they should fly "in" the firmament, but commands the waters to be only below it, and above it. Thus we have a water, or perhaps an ice canopy.

There would be certain advantages to having a water canopy above the earth's atmosphere. First, it would shield the earth from Ultra Violet rays. It is well known that ultraviolet rays cause cancer in some individuals and they, along with other rays are responsible for the breakdown of things on earth. These rays burn your skin, they fade colors and their constant bombardment on your body cause you to age. Your body has to constantly work harder to replace the cells that UV and other rays destroy during the daylight hours. Because the effects of harmful rays would have been greatly minimized and perhaps eliminated altogether, people and animals would live much longer lives. This would explain the long life-spans we read about in Genesis. It would also explain the dinosaurs. It is a common fact that reptiles never stop growing. Given a garden atmosphere, constant warm temperatures and any lizard could grow to be a monster, or a dinosaur, especially if it lived a thousand or more years.

A water canopy above the earth would have made for a more dense air pressure on earth. A higher air pressure would have many benefits. Among them would be that a person could have much more endurance because the higher pressure would enable the lungs to use oxygen much more efficiently. It could help in the healing process too. Studies have shown that people who have been placed in a barometric chamber after injuries have healed much faster than if they hadn't been put there. Barometric chambers have been used to treat people with gangrene, frostbite and other ailments that would have caused the loss of limbs had they not been treated with high pressure.

A water canopy would have create a greenhouse effect on earth. The temperature would have been the same all around the world, with perhaps a small temperature variance between the poles and the equator. Because of the greenhouse effect, there would have been no rain or snow storms or destructive winds. Storms are created by the heating and cooling of air masses, but with a constant temperature this would not have happened. Plants would have grown to enormous size because the higher pressure would have allowed the stoma of the plants to open much more allowing greater respiration and better photosynthesis. Insects would have grown much larger than they do today. Insects breath through their skin and their body size determines how much oxygen they can absorb through their exoskeleton. If the atmospheric pressure was higher all insects would naturally be larger because their surface body could increase with the increased pressure to enter their biosystems. The fantastic thing is that the fossil record bears witness to the fact that animals were larger before the flood. This too works against evolutionary theory because according to their prophets, conditions on earth have always been the same, and if that were to be true, then the fossils that we should be finding would be similar in size to the plants and animals that are living on earth today.

No Actual Rain Before The Flood:

It is understood by most biblical scholars that it didn't rain before the flood of Noah, as we can see by one little scripture:

Bearing this in mind, it is now easy to understand how Noah was ridiculed for building an ark on dry land. Aside from the belief that most hold, the land to sea ratio was reversed before the flood (lots of land and few seas) and Noah might have been hundreds of miles from any significant body of water; the ancients probably had never seen rain. Imagine trying to preach to people that God was going to destroy the whole earth with rain and flood when they had never seen either.

I always wondered how the mist would work and how it would know every day to go off. Did God have some sort of elaborate sprinkler system, or did He build into His creation something more complicated. Also, if there was more land than water before the flood, where did all of the seas come from? My answers came when I read about what is called the "Hydroplate Theory." Put in simplest terms, the hydroplate theory suggests that before the flood, the continent(s) of the earth rode upon a large reservoir of water. That is all well and good, but how does that explain how the mist came up to water the earth? Well, I believe the Lord has given me that answer. Anyone who has lived around the sea is familiar with what are called tides. The tides are effected by the sun and the moon. The gravitational attraction of both bodies pull on the oceans and seas to cause them to rise and fall. In any 24 hour period there are two high tides and two low tides. Now, let's remember that if the hydroplate theory is correct, and the crust of the earth was riding on underground water, then every time there would be a high tide, the crust of the earth would have been lifted ever so slightly by the gravitational force of the moon or sun. When the low tide arrived, that same crust would be let back down on the underground water source, forcing water to come up out of fissures in the earth. It was a natural pump. Depending on the amount of water under the crust and how fast or slow the crust was forced back down on that water, there could have been a spray that would have come up out of those fissures and it could have risen perhaps a thousand feet into the air, perhaps more. It would not really have time to condense into larger drops and it would settle on all of the surrounding landmass as a find mist. Notice that the scripture says that the mist, "watered the whole face of the ground." That would suggest that there were many fissures around the globe and each one would work just like a super water sprinkler system. The ancients probably could time the watering cycles quite accurately, just like in modern days we can tell exactly when high and low tides will occur on our ocean coastlines.

The Hydro-Plate Theory:

Another interesting notion to think about where the hydroplate theory is concerned, is how it played into the great flood itself. As we have seen in the scripture above, it didn't rain before the flood. It's also safe to assume that there were probably no clouds then either; at least not like we know clouds to be today. Therefore, when the rains came to flood the earth they didn't come from clouds. Where did they come from? Someone has suggested, and I think it to be quite valid, that something entered the atmosphere; probably a large comet or a small asteroid and it shattered the water/ice canopy which surrounded the earth. If the canopy were made of ice crystals the canopy could have shattered like a large piece of glass. The pieces of ice canopy would have melted from the friction of falling to the earth and turned to rain. When the object (comet or asteroid) finally reached the earth it would have hit with such force that it would have put tremendous pressure on the crust that was floating on the subterranean water. The crust, being pushed down with such force would force the underground water through many fissures and the crust would have broken allowing great amounts of water to escape at very high velocity. No one can be certain how fast or far the water could have sprayed, but hundreds of thousands of feet in height would not be out of the realm of possibility. The earth would look like a broken egg shell with the water coming up through the fissures. Today we know those fissure to be the fault lines that make up the tectonic plate boundaries. The continent(s) would be covered in a very short period of time from the rains and the water coming from the fountains of the deep. 

Where Did All of The Water Go?

So where did all of the flood water go? Well, it's right in the oceans, rivers and lakes. The crust no longer had water under it to hold it up so some of it collapsed to fill in the void that the water had left when it was ejected out from underneath. With no ice/water canopy to keep the earth one temperature, great fluctuations occurred in temperature. Glaciers and snow packs appeared within days at both poles, locking up a lot of the flood water. This is what is called the Ice Age, but it was very short and there was only one. As the years went on the ice slowly melted and separated the land masses that were once all joined together. It was once possible to walk all around the world and not get wet. There is an interesting scripture that we'll touch on and then we'll get back on track.
