What Did God Do with All the Flood Water

 What Did God Do with all the Flood Water

 

HEADLINES:

 

Genesis 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

 

Genesis 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

 

Ecclesiastes 3:14  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

 

 

We have learned in science that, “matter can neither be created nor destroyed”.  And that being the case, what did God do with all the water He sent down to cause the great flood in Noah’s days?  To cover the entire planet and the tops of the highest mountains required a huge volume of water.  We know that after the water had done its job, God made it go away so that Noah’s family and all aboard the ark could leave it and repopulate the Earth again.

 

As you know our Father is a genius as well as our “Dad”.  What did Noah and the passengers from the ark face when they walked out on dry land?

 

The Answer

 

Psalms 147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

 

Those of you who had science classes know that the volume of water decreases when it becomes solid ice.  To create dry land again God took huge volumes of water and froze it in the form of ice.  This removed so much water that the dry land returned.  The planet was redesigned.  The dry land became what scientists now call Pangaea.  Back in Noah’s days, man had no knowledge of this.  But the Earth’s surface sits on giant tectonic plates that can move about upon the mantle.  Their movements have caused the land mass to break apart into what we call the continents and islands in the great oceans today.  You probably can guess by now what He did with all that ice.  A lot of it was pled up in the northern part of the planet and some of it was piled up in the southern part of the planet.  It has been estimated that glacial ice can be on1 to 3-miles thick in some places.  There have been periods in Earth’s history where massive glaciers covered much of the land.  And gradually over time the ice cover slowly moved back.  God is fond of re-sculpting things.  As you know, He does have a photographic mind and “seeing the same thing over and over again can be boring”.  He made us “after is likeness and with some of His nature too.  So if we can get tired of seeing thing same thing over and over again, it is because we got that characteristic from Him.  So He slowly changed “Pangaea” into all the nations of the world today as that single land mass broke apart riding on the tectonic plates.  Most of the ice was piled up in the northern Polar Regions.  And a lesser amount was piled up in the South Polar Region.  But that was not sufficient to get rid of all that water.  The remainder became snow and ice coverings that decorate the world’s higher mountain peaks, and another great volume of water became clouds that garnish the skies of the planet.  The Earth does have an atmosphere, and water vapor is a big part of it.  When you think of Greenland with its glacial ice covering and all the ice that makes up the Arctic Circle, the snow capped peaks of the world’s mountain tops, and the waters flowing through underground rivers and aquifers, the lithosphere in the mantle, and the waters of Earth’s atmosphere, you can understand what the Creator did with it to cause dry land to appear for Noah and those who de-boarded from the ark.

 

I was watching YouTube and the discussion concerned what would happen to coastal cities and the islands of the sea if Thwaites glacier in Antarctica broke apart and thawed.  They were fretting about how high the oceans would rise after getting a great influx of fresh water.  And if you add to that the fresh water stored as glacial ice in Greenland and the Arctic region, you can see how more threatening the picture becomes.  But we can thank God that He will not cause another flood to happen on Earth.  But He does not have to see the same old Earth day after day.  He still makes subtle changes to the planet as time goes by.  The African savannah used to be green, and it had a great body of water.  But look at the Sahara today.  It is a hot, dry, and sometimes a very windy place.  Here in the USA, the coast of California is also changing.  The bluffs and scenic cliffs facing the Pacific Ocean are dropping back into the water.  In Florida and the Caribbean coast, sink-holes are retaking solid ground men assumed would be theirs to build upon.  The point is that our Creator does not have to see the same “stage-scene” every day where horrific and evil events have taken place and harmed His children daily.  Planet Earth is a very large graveyard.  And all the children He planted on it have perished here and their bodies returned to dust once again.  God sent Jesus to be the “Savior/Redeemer of all men” and the “Savior of the world”.  Father said He will forgive all our transgressions and remember our sins no more, if Jesus would come down here and become His atoning Lamb.  “Jesus was delighted to do God’s will”.  He willingly gave himself over to become God’s “acceptable sacrifice” for the sins of all men.  I am not God, but He said “I will not remember your sins”, didn’t He?  He has a better than photographic mind!  How can He forget??

 

May I suggest that Father plans to burn “the place of graves” and make it cease to exist, Isaiah 24.  He will re-arrange the Milky Way Galaxy so that part of space will be seen no more, Psalms 37:10.  Do you remember the “Etch-a-Sketch” game-toy?  You could draw a picture with it and then reset the field and make it blank again.  Then you could make any other scene to entertain yourself.  The constellations we see at night are like a giant “etch-a-sketch” to God.  He can re-arrange the stars to any configuration He likes.  That way, when He looks to where Planet Earth used to be, He will not see the place of graves where His flesh and blood children were killed by invisible demonic prisoners confined to prison down here.  No Earth; no demons; no children enslaved down here, make it easier for God to “FORGET ALL ABOUT IT”!  I believe God.  He said He will forget it, and that is just fine by me!  God’s mind and powers are so much HIGHER and VAST than my weak mind is,  I do not need to try and figure out how He can and will do it!  “Thy Word” is good enough for me!  Thank you Father-God, our Creator for your great LOVE for us and your everlasting WORD!

 

Ode of Solomon 8

 

1 Open ye, open ye your hearts to the exultation of the Lord: 2 And let your love be multiplied from the heart and even to the lips, 3 To bring forth fruit to the Lord, living [fruit], holy [fruit], and to talk with watchfulness in His light. 4 Rise up, and stand erect, ye who sometime were brought low: 5 Tell forth ye who were in silence, that your mouth hath been opened. 6 Ye, therefore, that were despised be henceforth lifted up, because your righteousness hath been exalted. 7 For the right hand of the Lord is with you: and He is your helper: 8. And peace was prepared for you, before ever your war was. 9. Hear the word of truth, and receive the knowledge of the Most High. 10 Your flesh has not known what I am saying to you: neither have your hearts known what I am showing to you. 11 Keep my secret, ye who are kept by it. l2 Keep my faith, ye who are kept by it. l3 And understand my knowledge, ye who know me in truth, 14 Love me with affection, ye who love! 15 For I do not turn away my face from them that are mine; 16 For I know them and before they came into being I took knowledge of them, and on their faces I set my seal: 17 I fashioned their members: my own breasts I prepared for them, that they might drink my holy milk and live thereby 18 I took pleasure in them and am not ashamed of them: 19 For my workmanship are they and the strength of my thoughts: 20 Who then shall rise up against my handiwork, or who is there that is not subject to them? 21 I willed and fashioned mind and heart: and they are mine, and by my own right hand I set my elect ones: 22 And my righteousness goeth before them and they shall not be deprived of my name, for it is with them. 23 Ask, and abound and abide in the love of the Lord, 24 And yet beloved ones in the Beloved: those who are kept, in Him that liveth: 25 And they that are saved in Him that was saved; 26 And ye shall be found incorrupt in all ages to the name of your Father. Hallelujah.

 

God will “get Himself together” when He has surrounded Himself with all the children He and Mother Wisdom made during the great Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles.  We will all be united under the New Covenant.  We will rejoice in perpetual “Family Reunion” in love and harmony forever and ever.  At that point Father will be able to “REST” and enjoy His perfect  children.  There will be no darkness or night-time there.  Can you say, “Amen” to that!?

 

Now to help me say it with fervor please enjoy brother Jason Nelson as he tells us “Welcome Home”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI8ZFJF5wtk&list=RDeI8ZFJF5wtk&start_radio=1

 

Don’t look at this with a doubting mind!  Didn’t Jesus say, “If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me”?  And “Where I am there ye may be also”?   “All that Father has given me shall come to me, and he that comes to me, I will in no wise cast out” ”I shall lose nothing!  No, not one sheep.  So get ready!  You have a ticket to fly away!  We all have to stand before him at God’s Throne, Romans 14:7-12  No man can escape God’s grasp!

 

Glorify God!

God did it!
