On my world, you're tuned in with the
underground Christian church.
Well, thank you for joining us tonight.
My name is Kent Hovind.
I was a high school science teacher for
15 years.
And now for the last 11 years, I've
been traveling around speaking on creation, evolution, and
dinosaurs.
In my seminar, we cover a whole variety
of topics.
Let me give a quick review of what
we covered so far.
The Bible teaches that God made the entire
world in six days about 6,000 years
ago.
The Earth is not billions of years old
like the textbooks teach.
And then 4,400 years ago, there was
a flood.
And that's what we're going to talk about
tonight.
What caused the flood and what effects did
it leave behind?
Now, before the flood came, the world was
a lot different.
The people lived to be 900 years old.
And that was the time of the giant
dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs were just big lizards that lived with
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
They did not live millions of years ago.
And then Noah took dinosaurs on the ark.
We cover all that on videotape number three.
And on tape number two, I forgot to
mention, we cover why did they live to
be 900 and what the original creation was
like.
And then we cover on video number four
about lies in the textbooks that are presented
to try to get the kids to believe
in this crazy evolution theory.
They're just plain lies in the textbooks, folks.
There's no nice way to say it.
Now, watch video number four if you missed
that one.
And on tape number five, we cover the
philosophical effect of this evolution teaching.
If man is just an animal, well, then
what effect will that have on the world?
And we show how that ties in with
communism and socialism and Marxism and the new
world order coming soon to a city near
you.
But tonight we want to talk about the
flood.
What caused the flood in the days of
Noah?
The Bible says God created the heaven and
the earth.
And our founding fathers had a philosophy that
said we hold these truths to be self
-evident that all men are created equal.
They believe there was a creator and he
decided what was right and wrong.
And the original creation was a lot different.
There was a canopy of water overhead.
We cover that on videotape number two about
the water above the atmosphere, mentioned in Genesis
1, 6 and 7, which explains why they
live to be 900 years old.
Average age before the flood was 912.
After the flood, when that canopy of water
was gone, it dropped off to 400 and
then 200 and then 100.
And today not many make it to 100.
And nearly all ancient cultures have a legend
about a time called the golden age, when
people used to live to be a thousand.
Of course, the Bible says 969 is the
oldest, but these legends, of course, get stretched
a little bit.
But there really was a time when people
lived to be nearly a thousand years old.
And in the pre-flood world, it was
absolutely incredible.
It was so different.
So why would God destroy this perfect world?
He's got this beautiful world with great people,
huge people, probably, probably eight or 10 feet
tall.
We cover that on video number two of
why did they get so big and live
so long.
And dinosaurs and a beautiful plush Garden of
Eden situation just about all over the earth.
Why would God destroy the world?
And how did this happen?
I mean, why would the world flood all
of a sudden beautiful world and God decides
to destroy it?
I mean, why?
In Genesis six, God saw the wickedness of
man.
It was great in the earth and the
thoughts and every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil.
Continually sounds a lot like today, doesn't it?
And the Lord said it repented the Lord
that he made man on the earth and
it grieved him at his heart.
He said, that's it.
I'm going to wipe out the earth.
I will destroy man.
It repented me that I have made them.
The earth was corrupt and filled with violence
and all flesh had corrupted his way.
The Bible says, and God said unto Noah,
I want you to build an ark.
There's going to be a flood.
So God decided to destroy the world because
of man's wickedness.
The world had to suffer because of man's
disobedience.
So in second Peter, the Bible says in
the last days, there shall come scoffers walking
after their own lust.
And they're going to say, where is the
promise of his coming for where since the
father's fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of the creation for
this, they willingly are ignorant of notice that
phrase, willingly ignorant in the Greek.
That means dumb on purpose.
The scoffers are willingly ignorant of phrase
means the canopy of water that was overhead,
but the scoffers are ignorant of the creation.
The second thing they're ignorant of is the
flood whereby the world then was being overflowed
with water perished.
This world was completely wiped out by.
So why would God use a flood?
Why not just perform a miracle and say,
okay, everybody except Noah die.
I mean, couldn't God do that?
Sure.
Why would God use a flood?
I mean, that did make a mess out
of the whole real, all the real state.
Didn't it didn't probably wreck Noah's house and
everybody else's house.
If I had one, if you needed one
back then, why would God use a flood?
Well, for one thing, there's several reasons why
I think God may have used a flood,
a flood left evidence where a miracle would
not.
Number two, the effects are here to remind
us of God's judgment on sin.
And number three, with a flood, there was
a warning time when people had a chance
to repent.
God said, Noah, start building that boat.
When that boat's done, folks haven't repented by
then it's too late.
I mean, this was an obvious sign of
God's mercy and his love and his grace.
He wanted everybody.
He's not willing that any should perish.
He wants all to re come to repentance.
The Bible says, so what caused the flood
in the days of Noah?
We're going to cover that tonight.
What about Pangea?
How many of you have been taught that
all the continents used to fit together in
one big super continent called Pangea?
Well, what about Pangea?
What does the Bible say about this?
And where does the ice age fit into
the Bible?
And what froze the mammoths?
Anyway, the big hairy elephants.
And how did the mountains and oceans form?
We're going to cover some of these tonight.
This will not be very evangelistic, you know,
preachy kind of stuff, just mostly information to
give you a new worldview to explain how
the flood can explain everything we see in
the world today.
Why would the world flood suddenly?
Could it rain enough to cover the whole
world?
Where did all the water go?
I mean, that's a good question.
Where is all that water anyway?
And what is the evidence?
Well, let's talk about a few of these
things tonight.
What about Pangea?
You are taught in school that all the
continents used to fit together in one big
super continent.
This textbook says South America and Africa seem
to be a perfect fit, right?
Typical textbook propaganda.
They're going to say the shapes of the
continent seem to fit.
There are similar fossils on opposite sides of
the ocean, and they're going to use magnetic
lines at the bottom of the mid-Atlantic
ridge.
These are the three lines of evidence to
support the Pangea theory.
There are some things they don't tell you.
What they don't tell you kids in school
is in order to make the continents fit,
they had to shrink Africa 40%.
They also don't tell you that Mexico and
all of Central America is gone.
Take a careful look at your Pangea map
and tell me where is Mexico, Panama City
or Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua,
where are they?
Hmm, just flat gone, aren't they?
They also don't tell you that several continents
were rotated one way and another was rotated
the other way.
You don't just twist a continent around.
They also do not tell you if you
took the water out of the oceans, you
would notice there is dirt underneath.
These continents are not lily pads floating around
in a bathtub.
Pangea thing.
You're going to be told in school that
the bottom of the mid-Atlantic ridge has
magnetic reversals.
Now watch out for this because this is
simply not true.
There are no magnetic reversals.
By the time it ends up in your
textbook, it shows like nice, neat lines of
alternating polarity, the textbook will say.
It's just not true, folks.
That is a lie.
Actually, and the experts will tell you, the
magnetic crustal blocks do not represent reality.
It didn't happen that way.
What happened as they checked along the bottom
of the mid-Atlantic ridge, they found areas
of stronger and weaker magnetism, not reversals, stronger
and weaker.
And so they made a sine wave of
stronger, weaker, stronger, weaker, stronger, weaker.
As they dragged the machine across, somebody came
along and drew a line through the middle
of the sine wave and said everything below
the line is a reversal.
Well, that's simply not true.
The line should have gone way down there.
See, there are no magnetic reversals on the
ocean floor.
There's only areas of stronger and weaker magnetism.
In Genesis seven, it says the fountains of
the deep were broken up and the windows
of heaven were opened.
What I think happens to cause these magnetic
anomalies down there, the fountains of the deep
broke open.
The Bible says there was more water under
the crust of the earth.
We'll get into more of that later.
When that water came shooting out to the
surface, the earth ripped like seams on a
baseball and the crust above went sliding away,
opening up a crack.
As the water came shooting out, it would
widen the crack and slide the continents away.
They would be sliding down.
As they slid down, the underneath part would
bulge up.
Now the sub layer is called basalt.
As it bulged up in the crack, it
would, it would develop cracks in it or
fissures, which are going to fill in with
water.
Water is going to rush into the crack.
Now the neat thing about basalt, if it's
very hot, it doesn't store a strong magnetic
signature.
Whereas if it's cooled off, it stores a
stronger magnetic signature.
So all they were measuring was where the
cracks are in the mid Atlantic Ridge, stronger
and weaker magnetism.
They weren't measuring reversals.
There aren't any reversals down there.
The magnetic field does not reverse.
There is no place on the ocean floor
where a North seeking compass will point South
by the rocks down there.
It just isn't true.
So don't fall for that.
The earth is cracked up.
That's not the question, but it didn't happen
slowly over billions of years.
It probably happened during the flood.
And the textbooks are going to say that
the ocean floor is being subducted or recycled.
This is also a very important part of
the Pangea theory.
And I'll tell you why there's not enough
mud in the oceans for billions of years
of accumulation.
See when it rains, dirt washes off the
hills and runs into the oceans.
Eventually it all ends up in the ocean,
but there's only enough mud down there for
a few thousand years worth of erosion.
So it's kind of an embarrassing problem.
You know, if the earth is billions of
years old, why isn't there more mud in
the ocean?
So they come up with this theory of
Pangea and the subducting of the continents to
answer the embarrassing problem of where's the missing
mud.
They're going to say, well, it's being recycled.
Well, I don't think so.
Textbooks are going to say that the continents
are moving away about as fast as your
fingernails grow.
Not too fast, right?
There's no actual positive proof of this.
There's some good theories and the continents may
be moving away.
However, continental plate movement does not prove they've
always been moving.
Obviously it does not prove the rate has
always been the same.
And students should be told there are other
options.
There are some other options to explain this.
I live just a few miles South of
interstate 10 in Pensacola, Florida, right there.
Interstate 10 goes from Los Angeles all the
way to Jacksonville.
If I see somebody headed East at 70
miles an hour on interstate 10, does that
prove they started in Los Angeles four days
ago?
Well, no, they might've just got on at
the last exit, right?
And if you see the continents moving a
little bit, that doesn't prove they've always been
moving.
They might've just started at the time of
the flood in the days of Noah.
Continental drift theory is important for the evolutionists
because they're trying to avoid two embarrassing problems.
Number one, the magnetic field of the earth
is getting weaker, indicating less than 25,000
years for the age of the earth.
So they have to get an answer.
They'll say, well, it's reversing itself.
No, I'm sorry.
It is not reversing itself.
Don't fall for that.
Okay.
The simple fact is the earth is not
millions of years old.
Secondly, there is very little sediment in the
ocean indicating only a few thousand years of
accumulation.
So that's why the continental drift and Pangea
theory is really pushed on these kids.
Not because the theory is reasonable, but because
it answers some embarrassing problems and keeps them
able to believe the earth is billions of
years old.
Now, what about the ice age?
Is, was there ever an ice age?
I mean, did the ice come all the
way down to Kansas city, Missouri?
Oh yeah.
It really was an ice age folks.
Well, where does the ice age fit into
the Bible?
And what froze the mammoths, the big, huge,
hairy, hippie elephants that are found frozen.
Some of them are standing up food still
in their stomach, food in their teeth, undigested.
What happened to the mammoths anyway?
Well, I got curious about these mammoths.
You know, in one year that I heard
they took out 20,000 pairs of tusks.
They go up there and dig them out.
They call them ivory mines.
Nobody knows for sure how many mammoths perished,
but many experts estimate it could have been
as many as 5 million mammoths perished around
the polar regions.
We find them all over in Florida.
Of course, they're not frozen down there.
They're petrified or coalified, but up around the
North polar region, some of them are still
frozen.
How many saw the news was a couple
of weeks ago when they got the big
giant mammoth completely intact and took it out
of the ice.
They're going to try to get mammoth DNA
and clone it with an elephant or something.
I hope they do.
It'd be neat.
Okay.
It wouldn't prove evolution, but it would be
a neat thing.
But what about these mammoths anyway?
What is the truth about this?
They're found all over Siberia and Russia and
Alaska.
What happened to the mammoths?
Well, the mammoths are frozen upright.
A few of them are, not all of
them.
Their undigested food is still in their stomach
and in their mouth.
They died of suffocation.
There is no water found in the lungs.
So don't let somebody tell you they fell
into a river and drowned.
That is not true.
First place.
If you fall into a river, you don't
freeze solid into a block of ice.
It takes a long time to freeze because
it might be 50 below outside.
But once you get under the ice, it's
32 degrees.
So they're not going to freeze.
Next, there's small ice crystals in the blood
indicating they probably froze in less than five
hours.
If they would have frozen slowly, the crystals
would be bigger.
So how do you freeze the elephant in
five hours?
I got curious about this.
So when I get curious about something, I
don't know any better than to start asking
questions.
I called everybody I could think of that
might have an answer.
I wanted to see how long it would
take to freeze an elephant.
So I called Birdseye frozen food people in
New York.
I called up, talked to one of the
scientists there.
I said, hello, sir.
If I stuck an elephant in the freezer,
what would happen?
He was silent on the other end of
the phone for a few moments.
Finally, he said, you'd have a crowded.
He said, well, meat freezes about 12.
What's going to happen if you stick an
elephant in the freezer, the outside is going
to freeze and the heat is going to
be trapped inside and the middle is going
to rot out because the heat is trapped
with the ice insulator around the outside.
I said, well, that's not going to work
because the mammoth, I want to freeze the
elephant.
I got to keep the food in his
stomach, still green, still fresh.
And after he's dead, the stomach acid doesn't
know he's dead.
It's going to keep working.
And so I need to freeze him in
less than five hours.
And I call physics professors and meatpacking houses
and bird's eye and everybody I can think
of who might know.
And the consensus of opinion was that if
you want to freeze a mammoth in less
than five hours, you have to put him
in something about 300 below zero Fahrenheit, like
liquid nitrogen.
Well, it never gets 300 below zero here
on earth.
I've got the map of the South Pole
from National Pornographic Geographic over here.
The coldest temperature ever recorded is minus 127.
That's pretty chilly.
That's not cold enough to freeze the mammoths.
Where do you get something 300 below zero?
Well, I'm going to give you the whole
theory of what I think happened.
I have to give credit to lots of
other people.
I've read so many different books from to
happen.
I've had to try to put it all
together into one theory that makes sense to
me.
Now, maybe you've got a different theory.
I'll listen to any theory you got.
I think what our job is, since this
is a one-time past historical event, we
can't prove any of it.
We put the pieces together and develop a
theory and see if it fits.
So let's look at the Hoban theory tonight
and see if it fits.
But before I give you the Hoban theory,
I need to review some science.
There is a law in physics called the
inverse square law, which basically says if two
objects are attracted to each other, like two
magnets or two planets with gravity pulling them
together, the force of attraction is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between them.
In English, that means if you would half
the distance, you would quadruple the traction.
See, the Earth and the moon are pulling
on each other with gravity.
If you brought the moon into one third
the distance, you would take that one third,
inverse it and square it.
It would be nine times the gravitational pull
at one third of the distance.
Inverse square laws apply when you're dealing with
forces involving gravity, light, magnetism and girls.
When the distance is halved, the attraction is
quadrupled.
Now see, I travel every week.
I've been home five Sundays, I believe, in
10 years.
I travel a lot, which means I get
to come home every week.
And when I get about 20 feet away
from my wife, it's hello, dear.
How are you doing?
When you half the distance, it's wow, you're
looking good, honey.
When you half the distance again, it's too
late.
A spinning top is struck by something.
It'll wobble around and it'll recover spinning smoothly
at a new angle.
You can actually determine when a spinning object
was struck by looking at the wobble that
it does.
Interesting, okay.
The Earth has obviously wobbled.
There are all sorts of measurements and indicators
to show that the Earth has wobbled in
its history.
What caused the Earth to wobble?
Stonehenge is a strange solar observation point, apparently
built to study or worship the sun at
summer solstice, but it doesn't line up today.
Amun-Ra was built to study the sun,
but it doesn't line up.
George Dodwell, the famous Australian astronomer, got together
all of the data on these solar observations,
and he said, you know what, folks, it
looks like something struck the Earth and caused
it to wobble.
Probably wobbled for a thousand years or so,
and finally stabilized, and today the Earth is
tilted over 23.5 degrees.
Well, George Dodwell got all this information together
from the observations the ancient people made of
the summer solstice, when the sun's as far
north as it's going to get of the
equator, which normally is June 20th or 21st.
It varies back and forth from day to
day, but normally the 21st.
Okay, George Dodwell said that the graph that
he made showed that the Earth had wobbled,
and he noticed the wobbling curve on his
graph was exactly the same as a top
struck by an object.
It appeared to him that something struck the
Earth 4,350 years ago.
Well, now let's see.
4,350 years ago is about the time
of the biblical flood.
So what happened anyway?
Could it be that something struck the Earth
to cause the flood?
That's part of the theory I'm going to
give you tonight on what caused the flood
in the days of Noah.
Today the Earth is tilted over, and that's
what causes our seasons, and the first mention
of cold weather is in Genesis chapter 8
after the flood.
They may not have had any cold weather.
See, if the Earth weren't tilted over, you'd
have springtime all the time.
It would still be a little colder at
the poles and a little warmer at the
equator, but generally springtime weather all year long,
if the Earth weren't tilted over.
So it could very well be that that's
the way the Earth used to be.
The next thing to keep in mind.
The moon has craters on it, but the
craters are not evenly distributed.
See, if the moon were hit by meteors
just over random chance over billions of years,
the craters would be evenly distributed, but they're
not.
It's almost like a catastrophe formed the craters
on the moon.
The same thing on Mercury.
The craters are not evenly distributed.
So what happened anyway?
Mars has canyons on it that are bigger
than Grand Canyon, and yet there is very
little, if any, water on Mars.
How do you get erosion canyons bigger than
Grand Canyon?
Whatever used to be on Mars that formed
all this erosion is obviously gone.
There are no giant oceans there.
What happened to form the craters on the
planet and the canyons on Mars?
We'll recover that in the Hoban Theory.
The next thing you need to keep in
mind.
There is an effect called the Meissner effect,
where two magnets will float.
If one is placed on top of another,
the magnet will float.
How many have heard of what I'm talking
about?
That is called the Meissner effect, probably named
after Meissner would be my guess.
Next thing to keep in mind, there are
comets flying around through space, and these comets
are extremely cold.
Oftentimes, comets are flying around, and they're 300
to 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
Don't lick it.
I need to find out now if anybody
has ever been stuck to a pump handle
or a flagpole someplace in the world.
At school, some January day, about
10 below zero.
What's wrong with licking a flagpole?
I can lick it if I want.
Three to 400 below zero.
Normal 127 below zero is not cold enough.
The next thing to keep in mind, if
you throw a snowball too fast, it'll break
apart in midair.
You couldn't possibly shoot a cannon or shoot
an ice ball or snowball out of a
cannon.
It would break apart before it made it
out the end of the barrel.
There's a certain speed beyond which it will
not go.
It'll break apart.
The next thing to keep in mind, the
earth has a magnetic field, and that's what
causes the northern lights.
As the energy particles from the sun strike
the magnetic field, they are deflected, and most
of them end up around the north and
south pole.
How many have ever seen the northern lights
before?
I've gotten to see them several times as
I travel and preach.
Just absolutely gorgeous watching the sky light up.
If you've never seen it, it's worth going
to see the northern lights.
Next thing to keep in mind, the pre
-flood world was a lot different than the
world today.
A lot different.
The Bible teaches there was water above the
atmosphere, probably a layer of ice held up
by the Meissner effect.
This was mentioned in Genesis 1, 6, and
7.
It's mentioned in 2 Peter 3 and mentioned
in Psalm 148, water above the atmosphere.
So the earth was a lot different.
The next thing to keep in mind before
we give you the Hovind theory, there's a
guy in the Bible named Peleg.
Who was Peleg anyway?
If you're reading Genesis chapter 10, I hate
to say this about the Bible preacher, but
Genesis 10 is a boring chapter.
It's got all those big names in there
that nobody can pronounce except Alexander Scorby.
You know, so-and-so begat so-and
-so, and he begat so-and-so, and
you get all this going on, and you
come along reading, trying to do, and you
get down to verse 25, unto Eber were
born two sons.
The name of the one was Peleg.
For in his days was the earth divided.
This is the first time it makes a
comment about one of these guys.
Why does it say the earth was divided
in the days of Peleg?
And then it says his brother's name was
Joktan.
Well, Joktan means shortening.
Peleg means divided.
Joktan means shortening.
What happened in the days of Peleg anyway?
Well, we're going to get into that in
the Hovind theory, what I think might have
happened in the days of Peleg to divide
and shorten, just like the Bible says.
The next thing to keep in mind, the
pre-flood world had a layer of water
under the crust of the earth.
This is mentioned in Psalm 136.
It says he stretched out the earth above
the waters.
There used to be a lot more water
under the crust of the earth.
That's probably what came shooting to the surface
during the flood and caused everybody to drown.
Most of the water for the flood did
not come from the 40 days of rain.
It came from the water that had been
stored underneath subterranean water chambers.
Of course, there's still a lot of water
down there.
Next thing to keep in mind, there might
be two ways to look at things.
How fast was that calf going?
If you remember her video part number four
about the calf puller.
So we're going to give you the Hovind
theory tonight.
What happened anyway?
What caused all this to, um, what caused
the worldwide flood?
I made a conscious decision years ago.
I decided I'm going to believe the Bible
until somebody can prove that it's wrong.
I had some friends I went to school
with.
They decided they are not going to believe
the Bible until it is proven.
Right.
Maybe you heard about the atheist.
He came to the preacher one day.
He said, preacher, I don't believe anything in
the Bible.
He said, you don't, he said, I don't
believe nothing except you got to prove it
to me scientifically.
If you can't prove it with science, I
won't believe it.
He said, preacher, if you can prove one
verse scientifically, I will believe it.
The preacher said, well, okay.
He grabbed the atheist around the neck and
grabbed his nose and began twisting his nose
back and forth.
Pretty soon the blood was pouring down the
guy's face.
He said, man, what are you doing?
He said, I was proving the Bible.
It says the ringing of the nose, bring
a fourth blood first.
I'll tell you.
And then I'm going to tell you what
I'm going to Noah
and his family got safely into the arc.
This meteor came flying through the solar system
and it fragmented and cratered the planets and
the speed building up.
And most of the shattered snow fragments and
ice fragments were sucked in around the North
and South pole because of the strong magnetic
field of the earth.
Number four, the sudden dump of ice on
the earth caused the earth's crust to crack,
which released the fountains of the deep.
It caused the earth to wobble around for
a few thousand years, maybe a thousand years
afterwards.
And it caused the pre-flood canopy to
collapse and it completely.
So the water came from three sources underneath
inside the crust came from rain and came
from melting ice.
Those are the part of the Holman theory.
Number five, during the first few months of
the flood, the dead animals would settle out
in great swirling piles.
And as the water swirled around, you would
get fossil graveyards and the plants would pack
and get buried into scenes and they would
become coal later on.
And you'd get fossil graveyards and coal formed
by the flood.
Number five, during the last few months of
the flood, the earth, which had been cracked
up.
Now the plates were unstable.
These plates began shifting around and tilting, maybe
plates as big as Texas, maybe places as
big as America.
They would shift until as one place goes
up and another place goes down, the water's
going to rush off carving Grand Canyon in
a few hours, water rushing off through soft
sediments.
Number seven, over the next few hundred years,
the ice caps would slowly melt back.
That would raise the ocean levels, make the
oceans deeper, colder, and wider, which we see
today.
And number eight, the earth today still shows
the effects of that horrible flood that destroyed
the world.
So that's the Holman theory.
Let's go back and hit a few high
points.
Now, Noah and his family got safely into
the ark, Genesis seven.
And the Lord said unto Noah, come thou.
Let me stop right there.
God did not say to Noah, go into
the ark.
Did he, he said, come into the ark.
Now tell me, where does God have to
be in order to say that in the
ark that'll preach brother.
There's a whole lot of comes in the
Bible.
Come unto me, all you that labor in
a heavy laden.
I'll give you rest.
Come now.
Let us reason together.
Say it's the Lord Isaiah one 18.
I think you ought to go through the
Bible and study all the comes.
And then you ought to come to Jesus.
If you're not saved, he loves you.
He wants you saved.
He wants to put his yoke on you.
It's easy.
It's a wonderful servant God in this life.
Just come to him with your problems.
He'll take care of them for you.
Anyway, the Lord said, come into the ark.
And so all the critters went in two
of each kind and seven of some, and
then the Lord shut the door.
That's a good eternal security verse, by the
way, when God shuts the door, it won't
leak.
People say, well, when you believe you're eternally
secure.
Yeah.
I got born into God's family and he
is stuck with me.
Some of God's children, he takes them home
and crowns them.
Other children, he crowns them and takes them
home.
So what happened is 300 below zero ice
meteor came flying through the solar system.
And it began to break apart.
As it came through the system, fragments began
to hit the planets.
Chunks of ice would hit Mars.
Now Mars gets pretty hot in the daytime.
And so the ice would melt and there
would be floods all over Mars, but then
it's going to vaporize and disappear.
Who would drift off lost in space.
So the flooding happened on Mars causing these
giant canyons, uh, probably at about the same
time as the flood, as this catastrophe affected
the whole solar system.
As the fragments of meteor came flying through,
some of them would get trapped in the
spin of the planets in the gravitational pull,
and they would become the rings around the
planets.
At least four planets have ice rings around
them.
Where did this material come from?
The fragments on the planets are rings of
made of rock and ice.
Interesting could have happened at the time of
the flood.
Number three, as this meteor approached the earth
or pieces of it approached the earth, or
maybe we just went through the tail through
a debris tail.
I don't know.
Regardless though, I believe a whole lot of
ice was sucked into the North and South
pole because of the earth's strong magnetic field.
Super cold ice is slightly magnetic and it
is easily statically charged.
So those are two factors that might have
sucked it into the North and South pole,
causing it to be dumped on the pole.
As the meteor came flying into space, it
broke apart out in space and the fragments
would generally go to the pole that would
cause the earth to wobble for a few
thousand years.
You have a spinning object and you're going
to dump a bunch of weight on there.
If it's slightly off center, it's going to
create the wobble effect.
As this ice meteor came flying in, it
broke apart and sucked around the poles and
dumped on the North and South pole.
Now, when you get 300 below zero ice,
you're going to freeze the mammoths standing up.
This sudden dump of ice caused the crust
of the earth to crack and the fountains
of the great deep were broken open.
Water came shooting up to the surface and
the earth was totally covered by water.
Up near the North pole, they find frozen
bobcats, frozen camels.
Camels don't live near the North pole, folks.
All sorts of frozen animals.
It's not just frozen mammoths.
Strange things up there are found frozen.
And when they drill through the ice, oftentimes
under the ice, they find coal.
Well, coal is made from plants.
This map of National Geographic's South pole here
says it had the dirty diamond mine dug
here in 1962, which yielded anthracite coal.
Well, since coal is made from plants and
there are no plants on Antarctica, we have
to have, we have a problem here.
How do you get coal in Antarctica?
Hmm.
Admiral Byrd said he reported seeing palm trees
under the ice when he got down near
the South pole.
Well, palm trees don't grow under the South
pole, folks.
We have a hard time getting them to
go on Florida because we're too, I mean,
in North Florida, because it's too cold for
palm trees.
You sure don't get them to grow at
the North pole.
They find thousands of dinosaur fossils found 400
miles from the South pole.
Dinosaurs are found.
Dinosaurs live on plants.
Most of them.
And there are no animals down there that
have like a dinosaur, no reptiles.
That's for sure.
Thousands of well-preserved leaves found in Antarctica.
This article says 250 miles from the South
pole, thousands and thousands of leaves that still
retain their original cellular structure.
They're pressed, squeezed into, into layers.
There's a scientist had a theory that he
thinks the earth is still being hit by
ice meteors.
And by the way, it was vindicated several
years ago when they noticed there are chunks
of ice as big as houses hitting the
earth every day.
There are still fragments of ice flying around
through space.
Now they hit the atmosphere and vaporize and
coming down in the form of water.
But if you look at the earth, you
notice it has two North poles.
We have a real North pole and we
have a magnetic North pole.
How many have heard of that before?
Your compass points to the magnetic North pole.
Now, right here in Missouri, they line up
pretty good.
So you don't have to worry about, you
know, adjusting your compass.
But if you lived in Alaska, there's quite
a difference between real North and magnetic North.
And you'd have to allow for that, especially
if you're an airplane pilot and it mattered,
you know, which way you're going.
This ice age appears to be centered around
the magnetic North pole.
So here's what I think might've happened.
The mammoths are chomping on their tropical flowers.
It was a nice day outside.
All of a sudden it began to snow.
They had never seen snow before.
So one of them said, Herman, this is
peculiar weather we're having here.
It's snowing.
Ooh, that's cold snow.
That's 300 below zero Fahrenheit.
Or maybe they use Kelvin or Celsius.
I'm not sure what mammoths use, but anyway,
he said, that's cold.
Let's get out of here.
So they began running around and the snow
got deeper and deeper.
And pretty soon they got trapped in snow
drifts standing up.
And they couldn't even fall down.
Have you ever been in snow so deep
you could not even fall over?
You ever seen that before?
You're stuck standing up.
You can't even fall down.
And as the snow got deeper and deeper,
it began pushing out toward the equator and
it would carve out glacial effects.
There were chunks of ice as big as
Texas sliding across the countryside at a hundred
miles an hour, scratching out glacial grooves, which
are found all over the Northern and Southern
latitudes of the earth.
These glacial grooves where rocks were slid sometimes
for miles, scratching the rock.
And the ice came all the way down
to Kansas city, Missouri.
And the earth was totally covered by water,
some liquid, some solid, but still water because
that canopy had collapsed.
See when cold air hits regular air, it
makes it rain.
So the cold spots on the North and
South pole would send out a cold front.
You ever open the freezer and see the
cold air come flying out, you know, falling
out.
That's what probably happened.
The cold wave hit the regular air and
it rained collapsing the pre-flood canopy, which
completely covered the earth.
The Bible says the fountains of the great
deep were broken up and the windows of
heaven were opened.
If you ever get a chance to read
the book of Jasher, somebody sent this to
me, brother, it is amazing reading.
You ever seen that book of Jasher?
It's referred to twice in the Bible, as
it says in the book of Jasher.
In Jasher chapter six, it says on that
day, the Lord caused the whole earth to
shake and the sun darkened and the foundations
of the world raged and the whole earth
was moved violently and the lightning flashed and
the thunder roared and all the foundations of
the earth were broken up.
Now it's not, it's an extra biblical book.
It shouldn't be part of the Bible, but
it's very interesting reading from an ancient source
about what the flood was like.
Okay.
Next in the hope and theory, this dump
of ice on the North and South pole
would cause the crust to crack.
Spreading ice would carve the glacial effects.
It would bury the mammoths and would cause
the earth to wobble and it would destroy
the pre-flood world.
The canopy collapsed.
Genesis nine, the Bible says all the high
hills under the whole heaven were covered.
It was a worldwide flood.
Did you know if you shrank the earth
down to the size of a cue ball,
the earth would be smoother and rounder than
the cue ball.
And although if you shrink it down to
the size of a 12 inch globe, all
of the water in the world would not
even feel one tablespoon at that scale.
I mean, the oceans look huge, but folks
compared to the size of the earth, there's
just not much water here.
One tablespoon to a 12 inch globe is
what you would have now.
Mount Everest is interesting at the top of
Mount Everest.
It's covered with seashells clams.
I've got one on the table down there,
petrified clams in the closed position.
Now, in the first place, I would like
to point out Mount Everest is a little
ways from the beach.
Secondly, clams do not climb mountains very well.
Thirdly, when a clam dies, it opens right
away.
You can come to Pensacola, go down to
see the beach there and walk along the
beach and pick up a whole train load
of seashells, but you're never going to find
a closed pair.
If it's dead, it'll open right away.
The muscle relaxes and something eats the muscle
out.
You're lucky to find a matched pair.
You never find them closed unless they're still
alive.
The only way to get petrified clams in
the closed position would be to bury it
alive.
There are some places where the clams are
found petrified in the closed position and there
are layers of them, 10 feet thick, solid
petrified clams.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Genesis seven says the fountains of the deep
were broken up.
I think the earth got struck by something,
maybe a chunk of chunks of ice coming
in from the north and south pole.
And that caused the earth's crust to crack.
And the fountains of the deep went shooting
out.
And the earth today still has the scars
where this happened.
The cracks are called the fault lines.
As the hot water came shooting out, it
would kill all the fish and other things
within a certain effective radius.
As this water came shooting out along the
seams, it's going to erode the sides of
the crack and push them away.
That's going to let the layer underneath bulge
up, making them slide away even faster.
So what you would end up with is
the bulging effect of the salt.
It's called lifting up, cracking, explaining the magnetic
anomalies and the surfaces are going to slide
backwards.
As they slide back, they're going to eventually
stop like pushing a carpet on one end.
It's going to wrinkle up at the wall
at the other end.
And the wrinkled mountains we find all over
the world indicate they were compressed from the
end, not lifted up from underneath.
It was a compression going right to left.
Interesting.
Why do we have these mountains like that?
And this hot water shooting out from inside
the earth would kill the diatoms.
Diatoms are itty bitty glass bodied critters that
lived in the ocean that make their body
out of glass silica.
When they die, the body falls to the
bottom and then the kids fall to the
bottom and the grandkids and the great grandkids.
They say it takes about a thousand years
to get an inch of diatoms because they
are extremely tiny under microscope.
They're beautiful, but they're really tiny.
When this stuff dries out, they call it
diatomaceous earth.
Has anybody ever heard of diatomaceous earth before?
They use it for all sorts of things.
It's used for swimming pool filters, detergents, fertilizers,
soundproofing, kitty litter.
You know the white rocks you put out
for the cat to go potty on?
That's diatomaceous earth.
Oil dry.
When you spill oil on your driveway, drop
out diatomaceous earth crystals, it soaks the oil
right up.
It's used for all sorts of things.
Well, the largest diatomaceous earth quarry that I'm
aware of is in Southern California.
Lompoc, California is right smack on top of
the San Andreas fault.
And right there, the diatomaceous earth is 1500
feet thick in places.
I've been to see the quarry, talked to
people that work there, took quite a tour
of that place.
In 1976, they were digging for diatomaceous earth,
just scooping it out with machines.
They found the fossil skeleton of a baleen
whale.
They find billions of fossils in the diatomaceous
earth.
But this day they found a whale.
The whale was standing on end, 80 feet
long.
Now the layers of rock are tilted with
the whale.
So really the 80 feet is not the
problem, but the eight foot thickness is the
problem of the whale.
If it takes a thousand years to get
an inch of diatomaceous earth, don't you think
that whale would rot in less than 50
or 60,000 years?
Animals that die today in the ocean, they
don't fossilize.
They get scavenged.
They get ripped apart.
Something's going to eat them.
They dissolve.
The only way to get a fossil whale
packed in diatomaceous earth preserve would be to
completely bury him very rapidly.
I think what happened, the water came shooting
out, hot water killed all the diatoms within
a hundred miles maybe, and it snowed diatoms
to the bottom.
It was a very rapid accumulation because of
that worldwide flood.
When I was out there, one of the
foremen there gave me this chunk of diatomaceous
earth.
It's about maybe one foot square, but it
contains hundreds of fish fossils in one square
foot.
He said, we find fossils here all the
time.
He said, one time we were digging on
the night shift and they had all these
spotlights set up.
He said, we found a 60 foot wingspan
pterodactyl.
But we didn't stop and tell anybody because
if you tell some university, we got a
fossil here, they're going to make you shut
down production while they come dig out their
fossil.
And you're going to lose money.
We're here to make money.
So we just dug right through it.
But they find all sorts of fossils out
there.
Call them up and ask them.
You'll say that's always my fossils by the
trillions.
And in the Dover, England, they find chalk
that is three feet thick.
I'm sorry, 300 feet thick, solid chalk.
You can break up your yard and right
on the chalkboard with it.
The word Cretia is Latin for chalk.
And that's where we get the word Cretaceous
age, the chalk age.
Hmm.
What happened?
Did all the critters decide to go to
England to die to make the layer of
chalk force?
Or could there have been a catastrophe?
Rapid change of temperature.
I believe that's what happened.
Genesis seven.
The Bible says the waters prevailed.
I mean, that world was destroyed by the
flood.
So point number five in the Hoban theory
during the first few months of the flood,
the dead animals settled out.
Moving water is going to make them swirl
in little eddies as they're called.
And great piles of dead animals and plants
are going to accumulate.
And some layers are going to make coal
scenes.
Other layers are going to make fossil graveyards.
Moving water automatically separates particles based upon their
density.
You ever seen those things you can buy
at the store with two layers of glass
and different colors, sand in between.
When you flip it over, it makes all
these strange patterns.
Notice it always makes layers.
Interesting.
That's what the flood would do.
The flood formed all those layers quickly, not
millions of years of accumulation.
And as these animals swirled around, they would
begin to rot and the head falls off.
The tail falls off, the ribs fall off,
and you end up with a dinosaur graveyard,
fossil bones tangled up, obviously twisted, contorted positions,
this articulated, meaning they're not put together and
there's no teeth marks.
He wasn't chewed apart by scavenger.
He rotted and fell apart probably during the
flood.
They find a concentration of fossils was remarkable,
like logs in a log jam.
Billions of fossils are found.
The evolutionists aren't having a hard time finding
fossils.
They're having a hard time finding missing links
between the different kinds of fossils.
That's where the hard time comes in.
I was in a debate one time and
this professor said, we've got proof revolution.
We found a fossil over here.
That's a missing link between this animal and
this animal.
I said, well, sir, I'd like to point
out something.
If you find a fossil in the ground,
all you know is it died.
You don't know if he had any kids,
let alone different kids.
Right?
Secondly, I'd like to ask the question, how
come that fossil is able to do something
that animals today cannot do?
You're claiming this bone in the dirt can
produce an animal different than itself.
Why don't the animals today ever produce something
different than themselves?
It's always the long ago and far away
it happened, but we don't see it happening
today.
I think the fossils form because of this
flood.
We can go all day on instances of
fossils that are found in twisted contorted positions.
In a Belgian coal mine, they found thousands
of iguanodon skeletons, dinosaur skeletons, hundreds of dinosaur
track sites.
That's the footprints are found all over the
world.
Well-preserved track sites.
Some places they find more than a thousand
footprints together in the Karoo formation in Africa.
They found 800,000 million fossils of vertebrates,
animals, animals with a backbone 800,000 million.
In Axle Island up near in Canada, they
find petrified redwood tree stumps.
Well, first place, if you look at the
background there, there are no trees growing on
Axle Island, especially not redwood trees.
They require very special climate to grow.
Very few places can grow redwood trees.
And here they are in Canada, way up
near the North Pole.
So in Hovind theory, petrification can take place
very rapidly.
Animals have to be buried and they can
petrify in less than a hundred years.
Here's a petrified water wheel.
The water kept running over it and turned
the wood into stone.
Here's a petrified fish giving birth.
Petrified as the baby's being born.
It doesn't take millions of years to be
born.
Praise the Lord, right?
Here's a petrified cowboy boot with a leg
still in it.
The boot manufacturer said that boot was probably
made about 1950.
The cowboy's leg is still in it.
Apparently he got his leg shot off or
torn off or something happened and it turned
to stone.
It's petrified, folks.
Here's a petrified hat found in New Zealand.
Don't let them tell you it takes millions
of years for things to petrify.
A little kid in Arizona sent me a
petrified crayon that he found.
Petrified.
In Tennessee, Gainesville, Tennessee, a man died in
1881.
They buried him.
Fourteen years later, his wife died.
They were going to bury grandma.
They dug the hole and water soaked into
the hole.
So they dug a hole on the other
side and water soaked in.
And so they buried grandma someplace else.
Well, the grandkids got worried about grandpa being
buried in this water.
And so they had his body taken out
of the grave and they found out his
body had completely turned to stone.
He had petrified in 14 years being in
running water.
Petrified human.
Occupants of the coffin had turned to stone,
this article says, as a result of continual
flow of water, perhaps minerals in it over
such long periods of time.
Things don't take millions of years to petrify.
It can happen very quickly under the right
conditions.
Your kids are going to be told in
school that each of the layers of the
earth is a different age and they're going
to tell you that the fossils are sorted
based upon how they evolved.
Simple at the bottom, complex at the top.
First place, they're not sorted that way.
And it's silly for creationists to argue that
they are because they're not sorted like the
textbook says they are.
And evolutionists admit it.
They say, look, David Roth was a strong
believer in evolution.
So I don't know why you guys argue
about the sorting, because they're not sorted neatly.
But if there is any sorting to the
fossils, it's because of the moving water.
Water separates these things.
See, the way they date the fossils is
by which layer they come from.
And the way they date the layers is
by which fossil they find in the layer.
Circular reasoning.
We cover that in videotape number four.
Moving water is going to automatically sort things.
Now, kids are going to be told that
clams evolved first.
And so they're going to be put at
the bottom of the geologic column.
Well, now, kids, I'd like to point out
a couple of things.
It could be the animals are sorted with
clams at the bottom and birds on top
because they're sorted based upon their habitat.
When a flood starts, clams are already at
the bottom, aren't they?
Wouldn't they be likely to be the first
ones buried?
Wouldn't the birds be generally be the last
ones buried in a flood because they could
fly around till they run out of gas,
right?
Maybe they're sorted based upon their intelligence.
As best anybody can figure out, clams are
not too bright.
Maybe they're sorted based upon their mobility.
Did you know clams cannot run very fast?
Maybe they're sorted based upon their body density.
Did you know a clam shell is a
little heavier than a bird feather?
No, don't let them tell you that they're
sorted based upon evolution.
They're sorted based upon a flood.
Genesis seven says the high hills under the
whole heaven were covered and the mountains.
The earth was completely covered.
Hugh Ross and his followers are teaching everybody
that it was just a local flood in
the days of Noah.
Well, I'm sorry, Hugh, if the mountains are
covered, it's no longer a local flood.
Secondly, I'd like to point out why on
earth would God tell Noah to build a
huge boat and fill it full of animals
and stay on there for a year if
it's just going to be a local flood?
Why not tell Noah to move?
I can figure that out.
I'm sure God could figure it out.
And why save any animals if it's just
a local flood?
There's animals other places of the world.
Now, it was a worldwide flood.
Hugh Ross, God bless him.
I'm sure he's an extremely intelligent man.
But some of the things he teaches are
just plain heresy.
You ought to get the book we have
called Creation in Time and see what Hugh
Ross really believes.
And it's tragic that some major Christians have
swallowed into Hugh Ross's teachings and had him
on their Christian TV programs and everything else
when he does not believe what the Bible
says.
He might claim he does, but he does
not.
It was not a local flood.
It was a worldwide flood.
So where did all the water go anyway?
If there was a flood, where did all
the water go?
The Bible says in Genesis chapter 8, the
waters assuaged.
The word assuage means to drop or sink
straight down.
Now, some newer versions of the Bible have
messed it up.
They say the waters receded.
Oh, no, no.
The water assuaged.
That's a very important difference.
It dropped straight down.
Psalm 104 tells us about this.
It says, God laid the foundations of the
earth that it should not be removed forever.
Thou cover'st it with the deep as with
a garment.
The waters stood above the mountains.
What I think happened was during the last
few months of the flood, the plates of
the earth were broken up and they were
unstable and they began tilting and shifting.
As one place goes down, another place is
going to come up and the water is
going to run off into the low place
because the earth's crust was cracked up like
an eggshell and it began to shift around.
That's going to cause Grand Canyon to be
formed very rapidly.
We'll see more about that in a little
bit.
Psalm 104 verse 7 says, As I rebuke,
they fled.
At the voice of thy thunder, they hasted
away.
The water rushed off of the high spots.
Verse 8 says, They go up by the
mountains, they go down by the valleys.
Now this is an old English phrase and
most Bibles have a footnote right there that
says what this really means is the mountains
arose and the valley sank down.
So what happened during the flood?
The thicker spots of the earth lifted up
and thin spots sank down.
See, the earth's crust has very thick places
under the continents.
It's about 30 miles thick where we're standing.
But if you go out into the ocean,
the crust is only three to five miles
thick.
Continental crust is very thick.
Oceanic crust is very thin.
So the thin spots would sink down, making
someplace else lift up and the water would
rush in.
And so the earth is all cracked up
into plates and it still is today and
the plates are still moving a little bit.
But that's all because of the flood 4400
years ago.
If you push in on one place of
the earth, someplace else is going to bulge
up, sort of like a waterbed.
Anybody ever stepped on a waterbed before?
If you wait till your wife is sound
asleep on her side of the waterbed, you
tiptoe into the room, get a chair and
jump up as high as you can and
land flat on your side.
You can launch her almost to the ceiling.
So that's what happened to the earth during
the flood.
As it got twisted and shifted around, it
began to wrinkle up like a raisin and
the water began to rush off of the
rising mountains.
Now, if it ran off quickly, you would
get rapid erosion.
If it ran off slowly, you would not
get as much erosion.
It would just simply have to do with
how much water and how steep the ground
is.
Very simple.
All the erosion effects you see out west
as you fly out over the western part
of United States, it's like, man, look at
these huge erosion features.
And yet it hardly ever rains out there.
You go to the Badlands and it hardly
ever rains.
And yet there's erosion all over the place.
What happened?
Well, I think that happened as the flood
water ran off.
It didn't happen slowly over millions of years.
The mountains lifted up, the water rushed down
into the low places.
And it's interesting, if you look at a
map, the mountain ranges follow the coastlines in
almost every case.
The Rocky Mountains are parallel to the Pacific.
The Andes Mountains are parallel to the South
Pacific.
Even the Appalachians are parallel to the North
Atlantic.
It's like the mountains and oceans formed at
the same time.
And all over the world, we find bent
rock layers.
Now, I don't know if you realize it
or not, but rock doesn't bend very good.
And these bent rock layers indicate they were
all bent while they were soft mud.
They didn't bend slowly.
They bent quickly while they were still soft
mud layers.
That all happened at the time of the
flood.
As the mountains lifted up, it's going to
cause metamorphic rock to be formed from the
pressure on some of these sedimentary rocks.
It's going to change them.
And at the same time, as it cracks,
you will get igneous intrusive rocks squirting up
through, like the quartz seams going through the
limestone all over Arkansas.
So after the flood, the water ran off
into the oceans, but the oceans were smaller
than they are today.
I believe when Noah got off the ark,
the oceans were much smaller, making the continents
much larger.
That's probably the beach out there, folks.
England and Ireland were not islands.
They were part of France.
See, if you lower the water just a
few hundred feet, everything's connected.
English Channel is only 150 feet deep at
the deepest point.
150 feet, you know, the length of this
room.
That's the deepest point in English Channel.
It's 30 miles wide, but only 150 feet
deep.
If you lower the water a little bit,
Russia and Alaska are connected by a gigantic
land bridge.
Everything in the world becomes connected.
Florida was about a thousand miles wide.
You could actually walk and hop over the
creek to Cuba.
Then you can hop over the creek and
go to Yucatan, Mexico.
Maybe the Gulf of Mexico was backfilled.
As the oceans filled in later, the water
would rush backwards into the Gulf of Mexico
and the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and
the Caspian Sea.
So they were filled backwards by the rising
water.
We'll talk why the water rose later.
But Florida would be real wide.
See, the oceans have two parts to them.
There's the deep part called the abyss, and
then there's the shallow part called the continental
shelf.
I believe the continental shelf is probably the
old beach line when Noah got off the
ark.
So they could walk any place in the
world.
You could walk to Australia.
People say, how did the animals get to
Australia after the flood?
Oh, they hopped or walked or crawled, whatever
they do today.
That's how they got there.
They had a few hundred years before they
were divided, and we'll talk about that later.
So what made the oceans fill in?
Why did they fill in?
And why do we have this continental shelf?
And what happened in the days of Peleg
anyway?
Bible says the scoffers in the last days
are ignorant of the flood.
The flood explains the geology, folks.
And we're going to take a quick break
here.
And after the break, we'll cover some more
on what happened in the days of Peleg
and what caused the continental shelf to be
formed and the oceans to fill in and
coal to be formed and show you what
happened at Mount St. Helens just 20 years
ago, which is powerful proof of how things
can happen very quickly.
We'll give some more on the Hovind theory
and tie it all together and show how
it applies to you today and to me
today.
Good spiritual application here.
All right, let's continue now with the Hovind
theory.
What caused the flood in the days of
Noah?
And what is the evidence?
And all this kind of things we've been
covering about the mammoths and the ice age.
The Bible says God created the heaven and
the earth.
And our founding fathers had this as a
basic principle that they were created by God
and that rights come from the creator and
they're unalienable.
You can't put a lien against them.
What we've got today is a generation of
people that have been raised believing in evolution,
which says rights come from the government instead
of believing that rights come from God.
And it makes a whole different philosophy that
students live by.
What we're going to cover here is a
little bit more about the flood and the
effects that it had.
What I'm trying to do, though, is get
across the basic philosophy that we need to
live by.
God created this place.
God destroyed it with a flood.
This is his world.
He can wreck it if he wants.
And he's coming to judge it again.
And if you're not saved, the Bible says
you're going to hell.
I mean, that's what it says.
Whether you like it or not, that's what's
going to happen.
Now, before the flood came, the world was
a lot different.
People lived to be 900.
After the flood, things changed.
That flood was a major event in world
history.
And we need to understand what the flood
did, or you won't understand the geology of
the world today.
Lifespans dropped off quickly after the flood because
that canopy had been destroyed.
So back to the hope and theory.
We're on point number six.
During the last few months of the flood,
the unstable plates of the earth shifted.
This would cause thin spots to sink down.
Thicker spots would lift up and the water
would rush off, forming Grand Canyon probably in
a few weeks.
Not millions of years of erosion.
If you shrink the earth down to the
size of a cue ball, as I mentioned,
it would be smoother and rounder than a
cue ball.
It's almost perfectly smooth for its size.
The 20 mile bulge because of the spin
is insignificant on an 8000 mile earth.
From space, you can't even find Mount Everest.
It's a five mile tall mountain and you
can't even find it.
You can't find the Rocky Mountains either.
They're insignificant compared to the size of the
earth.
So as the water went rushing off, it
would cause enormous erosion.
We see erosion marks all over the world
in areas where there's very little rain.
I was in Lompoc, California, driving along the
countryside and there on the side of the
of the road, there was an erosion mark
that had happened just in one rainstorm.
I walked up closer and took some pictures
of it.
You can see a miniature badlands that happened
after one rainstorm washed out the dirt.
The central part of the United States where
the purple area or lavender area is here
is the Mississippi drainage basin.
Now, Chicago is only 600 feet higher than
New Orleans.
I mean, 600 feet, two football fields.
That's the elevation above sea level that Chicago
is.
New Orleans and Chicago are 920 miles apart,
which means the Mississippi River drops 600 feet
in 920 miles, which means the Mississippi is
dropping eight inches per mile.
That much drop in a mile of run.
Pretty dead, close to dead flat.
Mississippi slowly flows down to New Orleans.
Now, if you built a dam across the
Mississippi Valley, it would flood the entire lavender
area there.
You'd have to have a huge dam, of
course, 600 feet high and extremely wide but
if you built a dam across Grand Canyon,
it would flood the area you see right
there behind Grand Canyon.
A huge dam would form.
Textbooks are going to tell you kids in
school that the Grand Canyon formed slowly over
millions of years.
This book says over millions of years, the
Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon from solid
rock.
I was in a debate one time with
this atheist and he said, Mr. Hovind, obviously
it took millions of years to form the
Grand Canyon.
I said, well, sir, I've been to the
Grand Canyon, flown over it many times, studied
it quite a bit.
There's some things you need to know about
Grand Canyon.
Did you know the top of Grand Canyon
is 6,000 feet above sea level and
the bottom is 1,800 feet above sea
level?
Almost one mile deep.
That's a big hole in the ground.
But the river enters the canyon at 2
,800 foot elevation and the river flows downhill
as the dirt goes uphill because the river's
going down and the same time.
And it ends up at 1,800 feet
elevation when it gets to the highest point
of the Kayabab uplift, which is 6,000
foot average.
This picture here of the snow line kind
of tells the whole story.
The Grand Canyon is actually a dam that
was broken or breached as they call.
The canyon flows through the middle of an
old wrinkle in the mountains called the Kayabab
uplift.
So I told the professor, I said, sir,
did you know the top of the canyon
is higher than the bottom?
He said, well, yes.
I said, sir, do you know the river
only runs through the bottom?
He said, well, obviously.
I said, sir, did you know the top
is higher than where the river enters the
canyon?
6,000 is more than 2,800, isn't
it?
By a long shot, isn't it?
I said, sir, rivers don't flow uphill.
There is no possible way that river made
that canyon.
The flood had to make Grand Canyon.
Those canyon features were formed quickly as the
water went roaring through there.
See, Grand Canyon, even the textbooks will admit
Grand Canyon is kind of puzzling because it
loops back and forth, but it also has
steep sides.
Those are contradictory features.
Looping back and forth like the Mississippi River
means it's on a low gradient.
It's not moving very fast.
And so it loops back and forth.
Steep sides indicate rapid moving river or a
high slope is a young river or rapid
movement.
Grand Canyon has both loops and steep sides.
So the scientists are kind of puzzled, you
know, how did Grand Canyon form?
How did the river do that anyway?
Well, that's the whole problem.
See, the river didn't do that.
The flood made Grand Canyon.
That canyon could not possibly have been formed
by the river.
See, a catastrophe can change the real estate
in a hurry.
There's a building half sunk into the mud
because in Japan had an earthquake.
When the ground shakes, water comes to the
top and the top 500 feet of mud
will become or land will become like soup
and buildings sink in.
The Alaskan earthquake in 1964 really messed up
the real estate.
I was staying in a motel up there
in Alaska, 30 feet away from where the
crack was for the last earthquake in 1964.
I was on the 13th or 14th floor.
Look out the window and you can see
where the ground dropped off 30 feet.
They just smoothed it out, planted grass and
went on, about their business.
But earthquakes can really change things.
When Mount St. Helens blew in 1980, as
soon as it began to blow out the
top, within a few seconds, the whole north
side of the volcano slid down.
As this mud went sliding down at about
100 miles an hour, it uncorked the volcano
and the steam and ash came shooting out.
My sister lived about 60 miles from there
when it happened.
They got ash all over everything from this
volcano blowing.
You see the picture of the ash blowing
out of Mount St. Helens.
That ash, boiling hot clouds of ash, went
shooting across the countryside and killed 60 people,
as well as who knows how many critters.
Here's a car buried in ash up to
the window.
Pretty hard on the paint job too, by
the way.
As this ash went flying all over the
place, scientists began seeing how far it was
going.
Some of it completely circled the globe in
the wind currents, completely around the world.
Now most of it, though, landed in this
yellow shaded region here, covered hundreds and thousands
of square miles of land.
And Mount St. Helens, on the far right,
was a one cubic kilometer ash cloud, real
tiny compared to big volcanoes.
You should see what the big ones do.
It was considered a tiny volcano, but the
ash that came flying out stratified into layers.
As this mud went sliding down the side
of the volcano, it did some strange things.
The hot mud went sliding down and dammed
up some creeks and rivers.
It actually filled in the whole valley with
hot mud.
There's a semi-truck just about buried in
mud.
I got to see the house where the
family built the A-frame house, and they
had just about, they're just ready to move
in, and the mudslide came through.
And now their house is filled up halfway
full of mud, and all you see is
the top floor sticking out of the ground.
They decided not to move in.
But as the mud flowed down, you can
see the satellite image here, or the picture,
how that it flowed across the Toutle River.
Now chunks of ice as big as houses
were blown off the volcano, and they were
covered up by the hot mudslide.
When you get hot mud on top of
ice, you're going to have a problem, because
when ice turns to water, it's going to
shrink a little bit, but then when it
turns to steam, it's going to expand 1
,700 times, and nothing is going to stop
it.
So these chunks of ice melted and vaporized
and exploded under the mudslide, and it had
steam explosions.
They actually thought the volcano was going off
again, but it was the chunks of ice
exploding under there.
When it exploded, it blew out great big
holes, and the mud slumped back in, and
it made erosion marks all around the side
of these steam explosion pits.
Now, I guarantee some professor is going to
bring his students here someday, and say, boys
and girls, you see all this erosion?
This took millions of years.
Some kid's going to say, no, my daddy
saw this happen.
It took about five minutes, teacher.
You're not allowing for a catastrophe.
The Toutle River was actually dammed up.
Now, I've been there several times.
I don't know why they call it a
river.
I mean, it's about as wide as maybe
from here to the organ.
Okay, I would call it a creek where
I come from, but they call it a
river.
The mud flowed across and stopped the Toutle
River from flowing.
Well, this mudslide filled in the valley.
Several days later, there's a huge lake backed
up behind it.
As soon as that water got deep enough
to go over the top of the dam,
the mudslide, it washed it out.
Rapid erosion took place.
The mud built up in the valley, and
then the water built up behind it, and
when it got going over the top, it
started carving gullies, and pretty soon, the main
one took over, and the water went roaring
through there, and it picked up all sorts
of debris, sand, gravel, logs, tree stumps, and
it became like liquid sandpaper.
It went roaring through the crack, and it
carved out a massive canyon 1,000 feet
wide, 140 feet deep, and 2,000 feet
long, and it carved it out in about
15 minutes.
And at the bottom, you will see a
little tiny creek flowing through there called the
Toutle River.
Now, if you think that little river made
that big canyon, you are mistaken.
That was done in one big catastrophe.
See, once water starts going over a dam,
erosion takes place very rapidly, and canyons can
be washed out very quickly.
That's what happened during the flood in the
days of Noah.
If you're willing to look at the world
from a creationist perspective, it makes a whole
lot more sense.
The flood formed these features.
Go to Montana and look at Dry Falls,
Montana.
I think they said it's about 1,000
times bigger than Niagara Falls, but there's no
water going over it.
Completely dry.
Dry Falls, Montana.
Go check it out.
This canyon that formed near Mount St. Helens,
when they went down inside it to look
at this canyon, they noticed the sides of
it are all layers, stratified.
Thousands and thousands of layers of strata.
Now, hold it.
All that mud washed in there at one
time, and the canyon was carved out at
one time.
Why would you have thousands of layers of
strata?
Well, you can get a jar of dirt,
put some water in it, shake it up,
and set it down.
It'll settle out into layers for you in
a few seconds, folks.
You can watch it happen in your hands.
As the mud was flowing in, it automatically
separated.
Now, I guarantee some professor is going to
bring his kids here someday and say, boys
and girls, each of these layers is a
different age.
And this represents 50 million years right here.
No, I'm sorry, professor.
This represents one mudslide.
In a few minutes, the rapid erosion took
place on the north side of Mount St.
Helens, and that little river at the bottom
did not form the erosion marks, and the
little river at the bottom of Grand Canyon
did not form Grand Canyon either.
It just happens to flow through the crack,
that's all.
The Kayabab uplift, you can see it was
just, it's a breached dam, folks.
That's all it is.
It happened very quickly.
So many trees were blown down when Mount
St. Helens erupted.
It was incredible to see how many trees
were there.
I flew over it a couple years after
the eruption.
My brother-in-law was a pilot.
We flew down inside the volcano, flew around,
flew over.
There were trees laying every place.
Now, if you've never been to Oregon or
Washington to see the giant trees on the
West Coast, you won't know what I'm talking
about.
But these trees are gigantic.
Some of the trees are eight foot in
diameter.
Anybody ever been to Washington or Oregon to
see those massive trees out there?
In the Midwest, you just can't appreciate the
size of those things.
You need to go see them.
But the trees were blown down, and they
laid every place.
I sat on the airplane next to one
of the vice presidents from Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company
as I flew back from that area a
couple months ago.
He said, Brother Hovind, do you want to
know the difference between government property and private
property?
I said, yeah.
He said, well, when those trees were blown
down in Mount St. Helens, we owned about
half of the property that was destroyed.
The government owned the other half.
They decided to let nature regenerate on its
own.
You know, a bunch of tree huggers went
out there and said, oh, we need to
save these dead trees.
Let's let them lay there.
Don't bother the trees.
So we went out and picked up all
the dead trees on our property and planted
new trees and started growing again.
He said, since they did not clean up
their area and plant it, erosion washed off
most of the topsoil and the ground is
basically ruined.
Today, their trees are about three feet tall.
Twenty years later, he said, in our area,
we cleared out the debris and planted new
trees, little bitty ones, seedlings.
And today they're 20 feet tall.
He said, our area looks like a very
rapidly growing forest, and theirs looks still devastated
20 years later.
See, the environmental movement, folks, is not about
saving the environment.
It's about Karl Marx's communist plank number one,
abolish private property.
God told us we're supposed to be the
stewards of this earth, and it's okay to
cut a tree down.
One guy was getting all upset.
He said, trees have rights.
I said, well, sir, I believe oxygen molecules
have rights too, and you ought to quit
breathing.
It's a tree, man.
Cut it down six years.
I don't know if that number's right, but
they hauled out millions of trees, and they
got less than 10% of what was
blown down.
It's unreal, the devastation from that one volcano
blowing the trees down.
It blew so many trees into Spirit Lake,
you could actually walk across the water.
Thousands of trees are floating in Spirit Lake.
2,000 acres of lake was covered with
wood.
None of the trees grew there.
As these trees were floating back and forth,
the wind blew them back and forth and
rolled all the bark off.
Of course, we'll show you pictures of that
in a minute.
It moved the log mat from one end
to the other of the lake and back
and forth.
It's still there today.
Go out there right now.
The logs are still floating in Spirit Lake.
It's been over 20 years, and they're still
there, some of them still floating.
Many of the logs began floating in the
upright position.
The root end, generally the root end is
pointed down, and these logs are floating just
barely above the surface.
Many of them began to sink to the
bottom and get stuck in the mud.
Some of the logs are already 15 or
20 feet deep in mud at the bottom
of Spirit Lake.
It looks like they grew there.
They did not grow there.
Those trees are being buried in mud, and
if that area ever dries out, the trees
are going to petrify standing up.
Petrified trees standing up running through many layers
of earth are found all over the world.
It's a very common feature.
It's called a polystratafossil, petrified trees standing up.
This had to form during the flood.
It did not form over slow, long eons
of time.
Now, if that tree ever gets the dirt
washed away from it, it's going to fall
over.
Here was petrified standing up, and petrified trees
standing up are very common.
Here's me standing by some in Yellowstone National
Park.
They find 27 consecutive layers of petrified trees
in the vertical position running through different layers.
Some people try to say each layer is
a different age.
No, this all happened at the time of
the flood as the log mats were floating
back and forth.
The flood lasted a year.
Thousands of feet of sediment would be deposited.
If the tree ever falls down, though, when
the dirt washes away, it's going to break
when it hits the ground.
I don't know if you've ever cut down
a tree for firewood or not, but if
you cut down a tree, it does not
break up into logs for you automatically.
How many notice that phenomenon when you cut
the tree down?
Okay.
And yet petrified trees that are broken up
into logs are found all over the world.
I believe it was Arizona where they took
one of the petrified logs, rolled it over,
and there were chop marks on the other
side.
Somebody had begun chopping that tree before it
fell down.
While it was unpetrified, obviously, here are some
scuba divers going underneath the floating logs in
Spirit Lake.
You can just see their heads in the
foreground here.
They saw under the logs that the logs
had been rolling back and forth and all
the bark rolled off.
All that bark and debris settled to the
bottom, and there's a three or four foot
thick layer of bark at the bottom of
Spirit Lake.
That bark is going to get covered up
with layers of mud, and it's going to
turn to coal.
Coal is obviously formed from plant debris, vegetation,
unburied under pressure.
Coal can be made in one hour in
the laboratory.
They take plant material under pressure and heat
and convert it to coal in one hour.
I think after the flood, the deeper layers
were buried, and they were pressed and turned
to coal probably in maybe a few hundred
years.
But during the flood, the log mats from
the destroyed forest would be floating around, and
they'd be leaving a debris trail behind them.
Maybe a huge log mat as big as
Texas would float by.
Then two weeks later, there'd be some more
mud on top as the sediment settled out,
and then the trees float back and leave
another trail of debris, and they eventually get
buried into what we call strip mines for
coal.
You have coal around here in Missouri?
I'm from central Illinois, and there's just all
sorts of coal mines.
I remember as a kid, my dad would
always take us out to the coal mines,
and we would watch the machinery and study
and pick up fossils and stuff associated with
the coal.
Coal is nearly always found in nice neat
layers.
I debated Dr. Eugenia Scott on the radio
one time, and she said, Dr. Hovind, there
are 80 separate layers of coal in the
Midwest.
If you look at the amount of coal
in the world, the entire biomass of the
world today could not possibly be converted to
that much fossil fuel.
There had to have been an enormous amount
of time laying down the seams of coal.
Oh, sorry, Jeannie, you got a problem in
your philosophy here.
It's true there's 80 separate layers of coal,
and it's true there's not enough trees to
make all the coal.
She's right.
However, she is assuming the world before the
flood was like it is today.
See, the world today is 70% underwater.
Suppose the world before the flood was only
20% underwater.
It was mostly land, and suppose it had
hyperbaric conditions, extra air pressure, extra carbon dioxide,
and the trees were enormous every place.
A lot of the world today is not
only underwater, some more of it's under ice,
and more of it's under desert.
It's just not livable.
Very little of the earth's surface is habitable
for man, only about 3%.
I don't think that's the way God made
it.
Today we live in a destroyed world, but
the original creation was a lot different.
So I think what happened, that pre-flood
world had a lot more trees, lots bigger
trees, and that's what formed the coal seams.
Branching coal seams are frequently found.
They drill down, hit coal, drill down through
dirt, hit more coal.
But when you trace the coal seams several
miles away, they connect together.
Branching coal seams prove the layers are not
different ages.
They all happened at the same time.
Some places the coal is 100 feet thick.
That would take a lot of trees to
make all that coal.
And in the coal, they find human artifacts,
like this bell found inside a lump of
coal.
Newt Anderson found it.
He's got it sitting on his desk.
Call him up.
There's his phone number.
A bell inside a lump of coal.
This vessel was found in solid rock, supposed
to be 600 million years old.
What looked like a spark plug was found
encased in solid rock.
They found a small gold chain inside a
lump of coal in Illinois 100 years ago.
A carved stone was found in a coal
mine in Iowa.
An iron cup found in a coal mine
in Oklahoma.
The sole of a shoe was found in
a coal mine in Nevada.
Broke open a piece of coal, and there
was the sole of a shoe in there.
You could still see the stitching.
See, even the twist of the thread was
visible.
It said the rock was 213 million years
old.
No, it formed during the flood.
The Bible says in Genesis chapter 8, the
waters assuaged.
It says the waters returned from off the
earth continually.
Now, this is a neat phrase.
The waters returned.
In the Hebrew, it's Halak Vashab.
The water was going and returning.
Going and returning, like sloshing back and forth.
Interesting.
I think during the first part of the
flood, of course, the sediments would settle out
horizontally.
Layers always form horizontally when they're settled out
of water.
And then the Bible says the mountains arose
and the valleys sank down.
So the earth wrinkled up, maybe for several
factors.
Maybe the sliding from the crack widening as
the basalt bulged up, or maybe just the
wrinkling effect as the water underneath goes to
the surface.
The rocks going to settle down in at
different rates and wrinkle up.
But this is going to cause erosion.
The waves were going back and forth across
the ocean then, and they would wipe off
the surface and deposit new layers on top.
So you end up in geology what is
called an unconformity.
You end up with an unconformity with layers
at strange angles to each other.
It didn't happen over millions of years.
It happened during the flood.
Just like the Bible says, scoffers are ignorant
of the flood.
Then the Bible says the ark rested in
the seventh month upon the mountains of Ararat.
Seventh month.
Noah didn't get out till the 13th month.
Probably for several reasons.
Number one, it wasn't dry, still muddy out
there.
Number two, it wasn't safe.
The water still sloshing back and forth.
Number three, there's nothing to eat outside.
It would take a while for things to
grow.
He stayed in six more months.
By then there's enough vegetation and stuff growing
that the animals could survive when they went
out.
Genesis 8 verse 5 says the waters decreased
continually.
Here's the Hovind theory.
Over the next few hundred years, these giant
ice caps would slowly melt back.
As they melt back, it's going to do
three things to the ocean.
Make them bigger, wider, deeper, and colder from
the added melting ice.
If you lower the ocean just a few
hundred feet, Australia is connected to Vietnam.
You can actually walk any place in the
world, folks.
They're all connected by these massive land bridges.
So if you trapped all that water in
the form of ice at the North and
South Pole, the ocean level would be lower
and you could walk any place.
So for the first few hundred years, they
were able to walk around the world.
You could go any place you wanted.
They were all connected.
As the ice melted back, it left behind
the drumlins and terminal moraines and all that
kind of all the glacier effects.
They really happened, but it was not millions
of years ago.
The valleys were formed as the ice melted
back.
And then it says in Genesis chapter 10,
unto Eber were born two sons.
The name of the one was Peleg, for
in his days was the earth divided.
Now Peleg was born 100 years after the
flood.
So I think in the days of Peleg,
that's when the earth was divided.
Like the Bible says, there are several theories
about what this means.
Some people think the earth was divided by
languages and nations at this time.
Could be.
That's a reasonable theory.
Some people think the continents moved and split
up to form from Pangaea.
I don't buy that theory.
For one thing, if you move a continent
one foot, it causes an earthquake and a
tidal wave that kills everybody on the world.
So I don't think that's what happened, but
some people do teach that.
Some people think the waters came up and
divided the high spots into islands and continents.
As the ice melted, the water would come
up.
Some people think the land was surveyed in
the days of Peleg, and that's what it
means the earth was divided.
Maybe a combination of all of those, or
at least three of them, is probably what
happened.
I don't know.
As the ice melted back, that runoff is
going to fill in the oceans, making them
deeper, wider, and colder.
And that storing of the CO2 in the
water is going to remove the greenhouse gases
and cause more radiation to get in, which
is going to shorten your lifespan.
Because now you get more radiation.
Probably the lifespans were shortened for several reasons.
The old English Channel there is only 150
feet deep, folks.
30 miles wide, 150 feet is nothing.
You know the length of this room?
It's not very deep.
I believe as the oceans filled in, it
backfilled the Mediterranean Sea, went rushing through over
where the Straits of Gibraltar are.
When the Mediterranean got deep enough, it would
backfill the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
This happened from the rising oceans, as the
oceans filled in more from melting ice caps.
Just the Hovind theory of what might have
happened.
But there's the continental shelf, I think, is
the old beach line way out there.
And lastly, the earth today still shows the
effects of God's judgment.
God apparently hates sin.
You can see things around you that ought
to remind you of God's judgment.
When you look at the canyons, when you
look at the gasoline and they get out
of the gas can or out of your
pump to fill in your car, that's a
result of God's judgment.
Some animals and people died in that flood
and their bodies were converted to oil or
gas under the great pressure of being buried
down there.
Coal, the electricity we're burning right now, it's
probably come from a coal plant, coal burning
power plant from the judgment of God.
Heard of dinosaur bones was found.
Now the textbooks are going to tell the
kids this was millions of years ago.
No, this is evidence of the flood.
Even the headlines ought to remind us of
God's judgment on sin.
When you look at the earth from a
Christian perspective, you can see, though I like
the beautiful canyons, folks, basically it's wasted real
estate and it's evidence of God's judgment.
God sent a flood to leave evidence behind.
We can see he destroyed this place.
And if you're willing to look at the
karst topography and the oil fields and the
coal fields from a Christian flood perspective, it
all makes sense.
There's a great book by Walter Brown that
we sell called in the beginning, slightly different
view than the Hovind theory, but I'll get
him converted before it's over with.
But he has some really good stuff on
there.
Let me leave you with a couple of
thoughts here.
This is a picture of a fish fossil
swallowing another fish.
Either that or the little one is a
dentist.
I don't know, but you know, neither one
of the fish thought they were going to
die that night.
The big one has a little one about
halfway down.
And I think the flood came and the
fountains of the deep broke open and probably
a mudslide covered them up and they both
woke up dead.
Did you know you're going to wake up
dead one of these days and you're going
to be dead for a long time.
Bible says it's the point when a man
wants to die, but after this, the judgment,
Harry Truman, not the president, Harry Truman lived
on the side of Mount St. Helens.
A friend of mine from St. Louis witnessed
to Tim, to Tim Berens, witnessed to Harry
Truman.
He said, Harry was a very profane man.
He cursed every other word.
He listened carefully to the gospel and then
rejected what I had to say.
He turned Jesus down.
Sometime after that, the government came in and
said, Harry, we believe this volcano is going
to explode.
You need to move.
Harry lived right on the side of Mount
St. Helens.
Harry said, I'm staying right here.
I'm not moving.
Well, Harry did stay right there.
Matter of fact, he is still there someplace.
They never did find him probably buried under
300 feet of mud about now.
Harry heard the warning and refused.
As far as we know, Harry's in hell
right now.
Now, isn't that stupid to live on the
side of a volcano?
That's about to explode.
And somebody comes and tells you, uh, would
you, would you move and say, no, I'm
not moving.
I'm staying right here.
I mean, that's, that's not too bright, is
it?
But you know, there's an awful lot of
people in America doing the same thing and
people in the world doing the same thing.
Here we are living on a planet that's
going to be blown up.
It's going to be burned.
It's going to be destroyed.
We're all going to die.
And Jesus has provided a way of escape.
So you don't have to pay for your
sins.
You can be forgiven.
And they're refusing to take the opportunity to
be saved.
I don't understand that kind of thinking or
lack of thinking.
Bible says, he that hath the son hath
life.
He that hath not the son of God
has not life.
If you don't have Jesus, you're just not
going to heaven.
God's not willing that any should perish.
It says in second Peter, he wants everybody
to be saved.
None of this predestined stuff.
He wants everybody to be saved.
You can be forgiven.
If you'll ask God, he'll forgive you.
Bible says in Matthew, like it was in
the days of Noah.
So shall the coming of the son of
man be in the days before the flood,
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving
in marriage until the day that Noah entered
into the ark and knew not till the
flood came and took them all away.
So shall also the coming of the son
of man be.
We shall all appear before the judgment seat
of Christ.
Bible says, knowing the terror of the Lord,
we persuade men.
You know what drives me to travel and
preach and keep going further?
God hates sin.
He hates my sin.
He hates your sin.
And I'm trying to persuade people to give
their heart to Jesus Christ.
That's what drives me.
I want to persuade people.
Bible says he that winneth souls is wise.
Everybody ought to win somebody to Christ.
If you don't know how, learn how.
If you're scared, pass out tracks or leave
videotapes or do something.
Everybody can do something.
Well, that flood ought to remind us of
God's judgment, ought to motivate us to get
busy and lead others to Christ.
I pray that you'll do just that.
