We're going to talk this afternoon, or this evening I guess I should say, about the pre-flood world. And I'm just going to give you an introduction to it and kind of an overview and give you a few facts and a few things to kind of get you thinking along those lines of understanding. And then I'll open that series up sometime in the near future here and explain it to you. But I want to kind of give you the reasons why today I believe it's important to talk about this. and why it will affect your life, and why it matters, and why it does affect us. Genesis chapter 6 and verse number 5, And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. It's pretty serious words, isn't it? But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations. And Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God. And the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth and behold, it was corrupt for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me for the earth is filled with violence through them. And behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Father, Lord, we pray you be with us now. Help us, Lord, to understand the importance of this in your word. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. You know, some people may say, why do we need to hear a series on the pre-flood world? Why does it really matter? What's the big deal? Well, if you think about it, eight chapters in the Bible are devoted to that time frame Of the beginning of time of the beginning of civilization eight chapters and you know, I believe that we talk about and know Less about those eight chapters Than we do about any other eight chapters in the bible I believe there's more in that eight chapters that you and I ought to know Than what we have what we have gone through what we have studied and what we have learned I believe there is more evidence In this world today out of those eight chapters That prove the Bible is the Word of God and prove the truth I believe there's more evidence and I'm going to prove that to you over the months to come here that there is more evidence I believe from those eight chapters from that time period Than any other There's a I want to give you an idea of when the flood took place. I think it's important to do that There's a table in the year in which the flood came was 1656 Okay and that's the year of the world, 1656. From the rest of the Old Testament and other well-documented historical events, we understand that creation, and I'll show you, I'll probably have a PowerPoint or something where I can show you a chart of this, but I'm not gonna show you that today. By Usher, which Usher's World History is a good, the Annals of World History is pretty good, was about 4004 BC, okay? So the historical events, we understand that creation was calculated by that, and so with a little more math, we can calculate the second date. So, trying to figure out when did the flood take place, and how old was the world at that time, and when did all this stuff take place? It's been about 4,365 years. Now, that's a little bit off. There's about, since this was figured, there should be another six years added to that, because this was figured in 2010. But, you know, 4,371 years since the flood. Think about that. If the growth rate, see, how many people were alive then? Have you ever thought about that? How many people died in the flood? I've never really had anybody talk about that very much, but how many people did? So we had a whole world that existed before the flood. That is not the same world that we live in now. It is vastly different. So we just kind of figure out, Answers in Genesis did a little figure. They said if the growth rate in the pre-flood world was equal to the growth rate in 2000.012, there could have been about 750 million people at the time of the flood. However, given the extremely long lifespans prior to the flood, the growth rate could have been much higher. It's probably closer to 4 to 10 billion people. that died in that flood. I mean, people live to be 900. How long do you think, how big of a family could you have if you lived to be 900? There's a lot of sources that say that Adam I forget where I read, I read this in the same, in the same article, that Adam probably had like 50 to 60 children or something like that. They kind of estimate, obviously. I think they used Josephus' figures that, you know, it's not Bible, obviously, but down through the centuries they figured, or down through the time as the Jews passed on different things, that it was probably 50 to 60 children he may have had. Which, whatever, we don't know that for sure. There's no way to prove that, right? Josephus is just a historian. But we don't know. But I could have... Well, let me ask you a question. 900 years old? You're gonna have a lot of kids, right? Right? Eve lives a long time. She could have a lot of babies. Now, we'll talk about this more when we really discuss the environment of the pre-flood world. But you have to think about this for a second, okay? How fast did they, would a woman in that environment recuperate from having a child? Just gotta think about those things, okay? This is a totally different world. That was a totally different world. How fast would they recuperate from things like that? How fast? Sickness wasn't as much. I mean, they were, the height of, their genetic, you know, creations. So, I mean, you know, you're at the height of that. You're not going to be sick as long, right? You're going to heal very fast, very quickly. You know, a lot of things like that. So, imagine this earth is covered with billions of people. And they all died, besides eight. There is so much in the short chapter in Genesis 6 of why God destroyed the earth. But what happens usually is all we do is breeze through it and never really find out what really happened there. We don't think about that. We don't meditate on that very often. By comparing scripture with scripture and then adding some historical finds to it. So I want to show you the importance of preaching this. My goal is to spark your interest through the Word of God. Let me tell you something, the Bible is better than any sci-fi novel and truth is stranger than fiction. Listen, you and I have no, I cannot visually help you to understand what that pre-flood world looked like. the beauty of it. I don't think you can see it, because I don't think we've ever seen anything that beautiful on this side. I really don't think we've seen anything like that. You're talking about a perfect environment all the time. Now, in order for you to live 900 years, what has to happen? You've got to have a pretty good environment to live in, right? Why do you think God destroyed it? That's why. One of the reasons. You can't have that same environment after the flood. Because if you had it, they would do the same thing again. Right? I mean, no CGI, no green screens, no AI can capture a hint of what that world was like before the flood. We can't understand it. and even the post-flood world leading to the Tower of Babel, they still had some advanced technology, but we're not gonna talk about that today very much. So number one, why? Okay, let me say this. Number one, Jesus said his return would be as in the days of Noah. The same type, Matthew 24, 37. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. What happened? Then you have to look at the days of Noah and find out, well, what was it like then? Right? For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking and marrying and given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark and knew not until the flood came and took them all away. So shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Jesus said the days of his return, they would be just like those days. What did he mean by that? I believe he meant more than what we understand. I believe what took them 1,600 years to do, we've spent over 4,000 years trying to do it. We haven't figured it out. Or nearly 4,000. We haven't figured it out. Over 4,000. 4,400 or something. Whatever it is. We haven't been able to attain what they did in that amount of time. Now, that was on purpose, by the way. God made that happen. You know why God made that happen? Because he didn't want us to do what they did. That's why. But that's why it's important that you and I get it when we study from the Bible and learn what we can from accurate historical records of just what those days were like. Here's a hint. They were so wicked that God destroyed the earth and every living thing in it. I do not believe we've reached that level of evil yet. Uh-uh. We're not there yet. I don't think you and I can understand what was going on in that world. Could you imagine? Noah is serving the Lord, and Noah is building an ark, and all of this stuff is going on, and while he's doing all this work, and his boys are doing all this work, the whole world's cracking up into insanity and craziness and giants and fallen angels and All kinds of weird stuff that I'm not going to mention yet. But a lot of it, okay? A lot of weird stuff was going on. I'll show you how we know that, too. We know that from the Bible, because the Bible's clear that there was a lot of stuff going on. All right? So, I'm going to give you some ideas of that. The pre-flood world, though, was a wicked place. Very wicked. So how do you know that? Eight people were saved out of it and God killed the other four, 10 billion, how many were there? Or 750 million, I don't care what number you use, they all died. Now that's pretty wicked, isn't it? And we think of the wickedness that goes on in this world, but something God saw was so wicked that he said, okay, that's it, I've had it. I'm done with that. I've had enough of it. Well, here's a hint. And we're coming to those days again. Quickly coming to those days again. But I believe it's going to be used. I'm telling you, it's in the genetics. It's in the DNA. That's what it's about. It has something to do with that. The modifying, the intrusion, the engineering, the AI, that we have now, right? Oh, you have a problem with your DNA? Well, we can write out that dementia. We'll just write it out here. Watch, we put it through this thing, and we figured out we can scrub this. So if you just take this thing, there you go, just put that on, put that in your right hand or in your forehead, and we can go ahead and just scrub that out of your DNA and rewrite it. Then you're good. They said it, right? Well, the Bible says that all flesh had corrupted itself before the Lord. All. It means the animals were corrupted. It means the humans, every living thing. I said, okay, they did it. They did it and I'm done with them. I'm going to destroy it all. I believe we are developing and doing the same things and that Jesus will come again when all that is set into motion. When the last piece of the puzzle fits, when the last piece fits the puzzle and they bring up the beast, the Antichrist on the scene in the time of the days of Noah return to this earth. Imagine if you will a world so wicked, so terrible, so debauched that every imagination was wicked. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Now that was the tipping point, right? When God said, I'm done with them, I'm gonna destroy them. They're all evil, their imagination is just evil. Everything. So then, If that mark of the beast would be something that would go into your mind, like virtual reality, like all the other stuff, obviously virtual reality is not in there, but it's leading to that, all right? If all of that was in your mind and it took it over, then God's gonna come and destroy it again. He's gonna melt the earth with fervent heat, right? And he's gonna destroy everything. Why? Because they're going to defile themselves. And the whole world's going to wander after the beast. It's going to happen again. Now think about these days that we live in, these days of AI, the days of VR, and the days we're headed for. The worstest world waxes and heads towards those days of Noah, the closer to the return of Christ we come to. Jesus said his return would be just like that. So we need to study those times to understand what happened then. So we understand what's coming. Number two, studying the pre-flood world destroys evolution. When you study the pre-flood world, you destroy evolution. It absolutely destroys the lie of evolution. Now more than ever is it the time to teach and to preach on the book of Genesis. Because Genesis is the foundation of every Bible doctrine. And they hate, in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. They hate that. They absolutely hate that. They hate it with a passion, they try to discredit this book as much as they can. Brother Finney and I were talking to a guy yesterday, man, he was ticked. And he tried to attack Genesis. That's what he attacked. The Bible says in Psalms 11.3, if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? When they destroy people's belief in the book by trying to destroy Genesis, they destroy the faith. and they desire to destroy those foundations. And that's the book of Genesis. If they can disprove Genesis, then the whole Bible becomes wrong. But what if the fossil records and a technologically advanced society did exist? I want you to think about this. What if there is technology buried in the old world and they found it? Would that not disprove evolution? Would that not prove to people that the Bible Already predicted such things? Already talked about it? They can keep trying to find a missing link. They're not going to find it. Because we're a whole lot dumber than they were. We're the missing link. All right? We're the ones that have been dumbed down through sin and through time and through a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. But theirs was a pure genetics, purely from God. Adam was perfect. What if we had an answer to the ancient astronaut theory? I mean, you do know that they have found advanced technology all over this earth, right? And the theory is that that advanced technology came from ancient astronauts, aliens that came to this planet, right? They came here and they implanted this technology into this world. Yes, they will do anything to get around a God that created heaven and earth. A God that breathed in the nostrils of man the breath of life and man became a living soul. They will do anything. Astronauts, fine, I can believe that, but I ain't believing in your God. Because if I believe in your God, I've got to be accountable to him and I sure don't want to be that. Right? But listen, that theory thrives with many people. What if this preaching and this type of teaching can be used to reach those people and say, wait a minute, God predicted long ago in advanced society, a society of people that were way more intelligent than we are. And these things that you're finding in technology and everything else that you found in the earth, buried in the earth. Well, that's because They were advanced civilization. What if we had an answer for Atlantis? We do. We do. That pre-float world. And we're going to prove that. Not today, though. Instead of just dismissing all the vast findings in the world as a bunch of liars and fakes, that's what people today, oh, that's not real. These scientists go around and what they say today is, well, that obviously didn't come from there. That came from this, and that came from that. And wait, no, it is that old, and that's where it came from. It came from a world of advanced civilization in a time when people lived, and they weren't dumb like us. They're very highly intelligent people and able to master things that we still have not been able to master. What if we can prove from the Bible that all these things are real? What if we could show people that a long time ago there existed an advanced race of people who had a technology better than ours? Can you prove to people just by what we find in the Word of God and in history and out there in archaeology? Can you prove man did not evolve but has devolved? The answers are in there. How advanced was that pre-flood world? Is there any evidence that they could fly? Here's a hint. Yep. Quite a bit of evidence. Why have scientists buried the evidence that have been found? You know, I'm reading through this book right now, and these findings that happened in the late 1800s at different times. All of a sudden, a scientist, they'd call, they'd be like, who do they call? They find it out in the field somewhere, they find it out in the cave somewhere, they're like, hey, let me call the scientist, right? Hey, let me call the Smithsonian, they'll help. Don't call them. And then they take it and be like, wow, this is an amazing find, and where'd it go? It's gone. Sure it is. Where'd it go? Just got ate up, I guess. It's gone. Oh, it wasn't real anyway. They know it's real, and they found these things, but they deny it. Just like when they find the bones of giants, they deny it. They deny it. Why? Because giants, just like in the pre-flood world, prove that evolution is a lie. But it doesn't fit their program. They look at those things and they find them and they say, well, that can't be true. Well, why? Because it's in something that's 40 million years old. You think maybe your numbers might be wrong? Like your whole dating system might be off? Nope, that's obviously fake. That's not real, or that's something else. That's the only, no other science is observable. When you see it, you have to be like, oh, wow, well that's there. And there's no way that could have got in there. Nobody could have put that in there. That was in there, and it was in there very rapidly, and it went, and it froze and fossilized that way. And there's no way you could have got that in there with anything. And they know that. And I'll give you evidence of that. Does the evidence from the days of Noah destroy evolution? Absolutely. Does it destroy carbon dating? Definitely. It doesn't take much to destroy that, though. You know, were the first people really knuckle-dragging monkeys that picked bugs out of their fur and swung from trees? Genesis answers the question in modern science cannot. Did the Sumerians and the Babylonians know how to fly and did they use batteries? In their texts they left formulas of the batteries they made. Here's how you make it. Right on their wall. How'd they know how to do that? Those knuckle-dragging apes, how'd they figure that out? Yeah, how in the world did these knuckle-dragging apes, these cavemen, right, how did they abstract and use aluminum? How'd they do that? I know, it's crazy, isn't it? How'd they do it? Do you realize we didn't use aluminum until like 1876 or something like that? And successfully, it took a few years later to perfect it? Not for them. They already used it, they found it, they protected it, and they mined it. Well, where do you get that at? Well, the Bible has the answer. God told us. I'll show you. God told us. We think of ourselves so advanced today like we're acquiring more and more knowledge. But what if we have not attained the knowledge that they once had? Are there maps that were made in the pre-flood or post-flood time of copies of copies? If so, do they match up to the Bible account? Yep. How did these people, these knuckle-dragging apes, how did they build buildings back then so precise and perfect with using their sacred maps, their sacred architecture? How'd they do it, their sacred geometry? Why do we find traces of perfection in their old ruins that have been found when we never could build that? Do you realize there are things that we have found underground and under the water that are perfect in their mathematics and everything else, and we can't even do that? Do you know that we found model airplanes that were so perfect that they flew when they threw them, made out of metal? And they were perfect, better than what we make them now. Well, somebody must have just threw that in there. It was locked inside a big block of coal from the earth. from a period long ago. Why? Because God buried it, that's why. God buried that old world for a reason, because it was wicked as hell. But we find bits and pieces and traces of it. I wonder how in the world. Why do we find traces of perfection in their old ruins? Why does every culture have a flood story? Why do they have a flood story? Why does every culture talk about 10 kings or 10 generations? I want to read you something here. This is from a old book series called New Biblical Guide. And this guy, pretty amazing guy. But anyway, he says, such is the testimony of geology. The life which has left its traces there does seem to have stretched over a mightier span than human life can boast today. But if this were the law of man's existence in that early time, some traces of it must have been left in those traditions which are only history passed on from lip to lip with ever-growing variations. It is true. but which have, nevertheless, within the variations of body, of a solid fact. The number of generations from the creation to the flood, including that of Noah, is ten, and the names and ages of the ten great fathers of our race are minutely recorded. Now it is a significant fact that this very number ten reappears with most remarkable persistency in the ancient traditions of various races." Hey, everybody's crying. Okay, it's you all right the Egyptians believe that ten deities reigned before man Do you understand that what are they talking about the old world? The Sibley and books speak of ten ages which elapsed between creation and the deluge the Iranians look back to their ten He shot in on or monarchs the men of ancient law who drank of the pure Homa the drink of the Immortals and who watched over holiness why they call the drink of the Immortals because they lived a long time these great 10 generations they lived a long time right the Hindus speak of the nine Brahman Ike's who were with Brahma their maker and are called the ten Petrie's or fathers the Germans and the Scandinavians tell of ten ancestors of Odin the Chinese of the ten emperors who shared the divine nature and reigned before the dawn of historic times They're all telling the same story do you get it they have variations, but they're all telling the same story and The Arabians of the ten kings of the Eddites primitive inhabitants of the peninsula embraced between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf the Phoenician historian Also gives ten generations of primitive patriarchs Over and over and over again the Chinese the Chaldeans the Chaldeans many of them. What do they tell they tell a story? What is their story that there were ten generations of great? ancients and They ruled the world Does that kind of sound like that time of the men of renown, the men of old? Right? Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Why? Because the Bible has the answer and the Bible already told the truth about what the story that they've perverted. But they all speak of this 10 generations or these 10 kings or these 10 rulers or these 10 generations. Why? Because it happened. It's called the pre-flood world. So, why does every culture have that flood story? Because it was real. Why did God bury that old world so deep? And why did he do it twice? What do you mean by twice? Well, the first time he did it by a flood. The second time he did it was after the Tower of Babel. And what did he do? In the days of Peleg, he what? Divided the earth. I believe he divided the earth and buried them. buried that again. Not Babylon because it's obviously there but he didn't allow those people to do that again. He confounded their languages. Some people say that's the dividing. I don't believe that's the dividing. I believe it says in the days of Peleg God divided the earth. I believe there was a divide there. The Bible says, And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to us, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, lest we be scattered or brought upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, behold, the people is one and they have all one language. And notice what he says. And this they begin to do. And now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Well, there's back to their imagination again, what happened? Their imagination got carried away again. They said, we're going to do it again. We're going to build the tower. We're going to invent Nimrod's name. He was going to avenge his forefathers for the flood, the gate of the gods. A spiritual gate, right? A tower that was built, a city that was built. So what did he say? He said, go to let us go down and there confound their languages that they may not understand one another. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth and they left off to build the city. They just left it off. They didn't say they were never going to try again. What do they have to do? Well, they had to decipher the code. They got to figure out how to make everybody one again. And as soon as they could make everybody one again, what happens? You know that, you've heard that song, right? Another brick in the wall? Right? All we are is another, what, brick in the wall? Right? Right? What are they doing? Building a wall. Putting it together. What's going to happen? Who's going to help them? Well, I have a theory. I'll give you my theory. I have a theory that that's what Google's doing. That's what AI is doing. That's what they're, what? Getting everybody to be one. Right? That's rebellion to God. Right? But they're going to make everybody one again. One language, one earth, one world. Oh, we've heard that before. Right? One pulse. One come together 2016. Right? Making everybody one. They just left off building it. God confounded their languages. They couldn't do it again. But we'll save that for the Tower of Babel. I've got some stuff to talk to you about that in the future. Was there a spiritual significance to that tower? Absolutely. Look, God just didn't go down there and be like, look, they built this tower and I'm mad about it. Because they built the tower. Well, we got a ton of towers that are taller than that right now, right? We got a lot of towers. He didn't go to now and confound our languages for that. Well, what were they doing? Well, here's a hint. I'm not going to go into it too deeply, I'm going to do, like, probably a few messages on the Tower of Babel, because there's a lot there. But let me tell you this. They all went to one central location. They all made themselves one. They all had a spiritual reason to do it. There was a physical tower and a spiritual reason. And I believe that that tower was put there for, it was put in the Land of Shiners, put where it was for a reason. They understood the math. They understood why to do it. They understood the sun. They understood the equinoxes. They were satanic. They were antichrist. And they did it to rebel against God. It was a gateway for the gods to avenge his forefathers. That's what Nimrod wanted to do. That's why he built it. He built it to have a one world government, to have a one world religion. That's what it was for. And it was rebellion and he was a headhunter. He was a hunter of men, right? That's what his name means. He's a headhunter, a mighty hunter before the Lord. That's not a good thing. Wasn't like David was a mighty man. That's not what God was saying right there. No, he was shoving it in God's face. that he had become a king, he had built this city, and he was going to rule the world. Right? And when people came to the city, they didn't leave. They never left the city. There's a reason for that, but we're not going to talk about that today. All right? Did they build the tower a certain way and using an advanced geography or an advanced architecture? Yep, they did. All these questions can be answered by examination of the Word of God and the historical evidence. Why does every culture have an Atlantis-type story? God said all flesh had corrupted itself right before God. Animals, humans, hybrids. Is there evidence that ancient people knew about DNA and other scientific advancements? How about genetic altering? Did they know about that? They sure did. If you look at the Sumerian text and the old Babylonian text on their walls, they had DNA and they showed the testing. Did they know about energy and electricity and harness it and batteries and everything else? Yeah, they wrote about it. Did you know what though? It took us dumb cavemen a few years to figure out that's what they were saying. You say, what do you mean? Well, they had electricity before we did. You get it? That's right. We didn't know it. We didn't know what they put on their walls, and we're supposed to be the smart ones? We're the ones that are evolving? No, we didn't even know what they put on their walls. They had all those things on their walls. They had DNA. They had their genetic testing. Listen. Oh, but these people were dumb. No, actually, it took us a while to figure out brain transplants, heart transplants. But on their cave walls and their hieroglyphics, they already had all that on there. They literally show surgeries on there, brain surgeries, that they did. And we're like, what were those cavemen doing making those funny drawings? And if they were looking at us, they'd be like, why can't these idiots figure it out? Yeah, there is. But do you understand? They had that on the walls already. They had those on their cave walls. They had those everywhere. That was their record of who they were and how advanced they had been. Think about it. Pretty crazy, huh? Shows them harnessing energy from the earth. How they got it? Flying, airplanes. I just can't believe that. Why? Because you were taught that they were all cavemen and they were dumb? Well, I'm going to show you from the Bible here that that's just ridiculous in a lot of ways. But this series will show you that, too. Is there evidence that these ancient people were scientifically advanced? Absolutely. A lot of it. But it makes sense if God created Adam, he was perfect. Right? Where do the giants come in? The sons of God. Why did God not want us to ever find out their inventions? An advanced society plus devils, what a bad mixture. What do we have now? A society that is trying to advance with devils. If you study every major technological advance out there, it was by some guy who said, I had a vision. Tesla, he admitted he was just a medium. Everybody always lauded, oh, Tesla was a great man. No, he was devil possessed. We told him he wasn't a great man. He was possessed. He was possessed by devils. He gave us free energy. Where'd he get it from? Who told him? Well, listen to what he said. Read his writings, he said. He said, I'm just a medium. That information just kind of just downloads to me and comes to me, and I just give it out. The other guy said, well, I invented this algorithm when I was dreaming. Oh, boy. How about the Garden of Eden? What was it like? We never hardly think about that, but what was it like? Perfect. Psalms 106 verse 39 says, Thus were they defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions. Too smart for their own good, huh? Ecclesiastes 7.29 says, Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright, but they have sought out many inventions. What were those inventions? Well, those are the questions answered. That's how it destroys evolution. So I want to give you an overview of what we're going to talk about here in the weeks to come. Number one, pre-flood technology in an advanced civilization. We're going to talk about the geometry of the old world. What did they use? We're gonna talk about the ark itself. Was that a knuckle dragon ape that built that thing or what? Do you realize, I mean, all right, let me help you. All right, it took Ken Ham like millions of dollars to build that ark. And it's not correct. I visited, it's a nice place to visit, but there's some things, it looks like a Viking ship in the front and I just don't think that's, I don't think, Looks like Patch the Pirate did that or something, but anyway. Ahoy, mateys! I don't know why that's like that, but anyway. That's not right. It's a nice place. I like it. It's neat. The inside of it's neat, and I think a lot of it's biblically accurate from that standpoint. And I think you should stop by and see it, because if you're going to go somewhere else, you might as well give them money there anyway. But the point is, here's this big ark, right? Look how long it took for him to build. So it took Noah and them, yeah, like 500 years, but just like, you know. Or how many years? 120 years, sorry, 120 years. Yeah, he was 500 years old. 120 years, yep. That's a pretty amazing and a big arc to build. And that took some intelligence to build that, right? That's not an idiot that built that. Build it this way, design it this way. This is the measurements. This is how it's supposed to be. Does that sound like a dumb guy? Does that sound like a knuckle-dragging caveman? They built that? No, it sounds like a highly advanced civilization and a man that understood. You do realize you have to understand engineering and everything else to build something like that, right? Well, ask Ken Ham. How many engineers built his? How many people had to build his? Right? Yeah. And his is just sitting on land. It ain't gonna float. Noah's was floating. Right. Waterproof. designed perfectly, measurements perfectly given, and measurements perfectly understood. If you gave me those, look, I don't even understand it when I read it. I don't understand it when I read it. When I read it, I'm like, okay. Like when somebody starts giving me directions like that, my mind just like starts floating. And I just go, I look at my wife and say, honey, you're gonna have to figure that out, I can't do that. It just doesn't compute. I'm like, okay, I'll tell you what. You know, every time I buy something that has to be put together, I just, I'm like, somebody's like, are you gonna put that together? It's like, no. Are you kidding me? My wife's gonna put that together. My son, he's got the mind for it, too. He can do it, too. So him and his mom put it together. They're like, oh, we can do it. Me, I'm just like, yeah, whatever. Okay, put it together. I'm like, I, no, I can't. I couldn't build the arc. God equipped Noah to build the ark. I understand that. But also, Noah was advanced. Noah understood. You know, you're talking about an advanced time. You're talking about advanced civilization. And they were so smart that they're looking at him like, man, there ain't never been any water on this earth. What's the matter with you? There ain't been no rain on this earth. Rain. Yeah, rain? Come on, what is that? How about the pre-flood size of men and animals? What were they like before the flood? Is there evidence of it? How about the pre-flood environment? What was it like? What was it like before the flood? Had to be something different because people lived 900 years. Something had to be different. And it was their environment. Because human beings still stepped off the ark, but they didn't live that long afterwards. They started living less. Why? Because their environment changed. Adam was perfect. How tall were they? We need to talk about the flood itself. What really happened in the flood? I think a graphic account of the flood would be good. I'm going to try to give it to you by the grace of God. what life was like after the flood. See, there's this post-flood world right after it that people don't get. They just act like, well, it was no, I mean, the guy just built a tower and whatever, you know, city, big deal. God got mad because he didn't like towers. God didn't like cities and towers, so he changed all their language. Well, that's what it says, but there's more to it than what it is. He says it in there, but you don't understand what he's saying completely. Why was it so anti-God? Why was it so bad? Right? Why was it so bad on the other side of the flood? And then after they came over the flood, what happened? For instance, let me give you an idea. Did you know, let's talk about the Tower of Babel for a second. Well, I'll ask you this question. Was there mine control in Babylon? Why didn't they want to leave the city of the tower once they got there? How did Nimrod get all these people to go there? What was the deal? There's a reason. What did Alexander the Great find when he went to the Tower of Babel? Because he went there. Alexander the Great, many years later, went to the Tower of Babel. What did he find? Well, he said when he went in there, one of his men said that they found 1,900 years of astrology written on the walls. He said when he walked halfway up it, there was a place to sleep. That was Herodas that said he went there and he saw the tower. And then I believe he tore it down, Alexander the Great did. Nebuchadnezzar, he was there. He saw it. Saddam Hussein wanted to be there. He did say he was going to rebuild the tower, though. That's what he said. But if he would have used U.S. dollars, he might have been able to. But since he didn't, the Federal Reserve snuffed him out. Just like they want to do to Assad. Because he needs some democracy dropped on him. You need a little bit of freedom there. That's right, that's right. The Bible references the old world in 2 Peter 4 and 5. See, there's an old world. So that God says that's the old world. I killed it. I destroyed it the old world, but save Noah the eighth person a preacher of righteousness bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. You know that they use ley lines are those real could be we'll talk about it. These satanic power lines is the internet the new era of that. To connect everybody to make everybody one. I think so. I think this is the completion of that tower and that city. So I was just going through the Bible here. I want to give you some scriptures here and we're going to be done here. But I hope it's it sparked some interest in you to think about some of these things Genesis chapter 2 verse number 5 and 6. And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. God planted..." You know, I thought it was interesting that God planted the garden. It says God planted it. It's kind of just God's a gardener, right? He planted a garden. Is that too practical? I don't think so. It's really legitimate, isn't it? Because God said he did it. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden. And there he put the man whom he had formed. So in that pre-flood world, we understand that, that God planted the garden of Eden. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life, also the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It says that God grew every tree, right? And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from whence it parted and became into four heads. That river watered everything. God watered the ground. God watered everything in that old world. And before Adam fell, God did everything. Think about that. Now listen to this. I believe this is a sign of advanced intelligence. Listen to this. And out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Now stop here for a second. Every creature in the world came out and Adam named him. It says God waited to see what he would call him. God said, oh, what are you going to call him? That doesn't sound like a knuckle-dragging ape. Do you realize Adam named every animal? Every animal. Every insect? Maybe. Every sea creature? Everything? Did Adam name it all? Well, that sounds like a, well, let me ask you a question. Could you name them all? I couldn't. I'd be like Bob, Jim, Ted. Just like, yeah, those are all previous names, right, that we have. So Adam sat there and Adam named them all. Yeah. Who taught him? Nobody. He was made in the image of God. He was perfect. See? See how that works? Well, that destroys evolution, doesn't it? That doesn't, I mean, that's not what we heard. We heard that everybody back then, they were just a bunch of knuckle-dragging apes running around, couldn't figure out picking bugs out of their self. Swinging from trees and, yeah, right. I mean, they were in caves, but let's see you sculpt what they did in caves. Let's see you put up those hieroglyphics and everything they did in caves. Yeah, let's see you do that. Let's see you do 1900 years of astronomy in a building. See, something doesn't add up. And that's why the message is hidden. Because they don't want you to know. Yeah, they don't want people to know. So it says Adam called every it says here and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl the air and brought them into Adam to see what he would call them and Whatsoever Adam called every living creature. That was the name of it thereof. I Think it's funny. It says here that God formed every beast and every fowl and brought them and he brought him all the Adam here Adam It's like God was like You know, enjoying his creation, right? Here you go. Okay, name this one. Okay, name this one. Okay, name this one. That'd be kind of fun, wouldn't it? Okay, here, name this one. Right? Could you imagine Adam? Adam's sitting there in front of God, and God is bringing animals to Adam. and seeing what God would name them, or seeing what Adam would name them. So he brings them, God brings this animal, and Adam's eyes probably had to get pretty big when he saw some of these animals, like, what is that? Oh, that's a... You and I would be like, I don't know. That's right. Adam, Adam, he just named it. Like it was nothing. It says God, God, it says he brought them to see what he would call them. And God said, okay, you named it. Why? Because God gave Adam dominion over all the animals. Adam named them. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called a woman because she was taken out of man. Adam named her woman, right? How about this? Later on, a little bit later on, and Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bear Enoch and he built it a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. Okay, so Cain builds an entire city. Okay, guys, come on, let's go build a city. No, not going to happen. It says Cain went and he built the city. What does that take? It takes some brains, okay? That sounds like a highly advanced civilization. That sounds like the reason why evolution absolutely hates the Bible is because in their pride they think they're getting better and we ain't getting better. All we're getting is the help from the devil to try to figure out how to get back to where they once were on their own. Think about that one. Here's another one for you and we're done. And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all such as handled the harp and organ. So Jubal, he taught everybody how to play musical instruments. Well, who taught him? Who taught him? Think about it. He was able to teach everyone every, he is the father, look what it says here, the father of all such as handled the harp and organ, and he stringed the instrument. Yeah, and he stringed the instrument, anything, boom. How'd that knuckle dragon ape figure that out? You ever seen an ape with a ukulele? It's on YouTube, right? Okay, ready? How about this one? And then I think we're done. Yep, we're done. This one's the last one. And Zilla, she also bared tubal cane, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So, this guy named tubal cane, who the Masons really pervert. But anyway, that's like their god. Tubalcain, he was a master artificer. What does that mean? It means he knew how to abstract metal. He knew how to make anything with metal. He not only knew how to do it, all kinds of metal. He not only knew how to do it, he was a master at teaching it. How? because it was an advanced civilization. And that's why that pre-flood world is so important to try to understand. Because the Bible gives us a lot of hints along the way of exactly what that world was like. As far as, not exactly, but a lot of hints as to what that world was like. Now, what we're gonna do with this series is try to dig through that and try to find out, is there evidence now for those things? Good question. So I plan on showing you just what that evidence is. And then the Tower of Babel, we're gonna talk about that and the significance and the importance of the Tower of Babel and what happened there. And that whole pre-flood world, what took place. And then after they got off the boat, what happened. And the traces of it in different civilizations. Why it's so important and why it disproves evolution and strengthens our faith in the word of God. All right, Father, Lord, thank you. Thank you for your words. Thank you for the truth. Thank you for the truth that Lord. We ain't getting better, we're getting worse. You created man upright and he sought out many evil inventions, Lord. And Lord, I just pray that you'd help us to follow you and to teach and preach the word of God, to strengthen people out there, to save the lost, to see the lost saved through the foolishness of preaching. and Lord, to strengthen the brethren in their faith in the days to come. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
