1. 2. “Upon the face of the waters”

2. “and the waters shall no more become a flood <03999>” (Gen. 9:15) “Yahweh sitteth upon the flood <03999>” (Ps. 29:10) 03999Mabbuwl from 02986 in the sense of flowing; 02986yabal AV-bring 11, carry 4, bring forth 1, lead forth 1, lead 1; 18

3. “For as in the days that were before the flood <2627> ...” (Mt. 24:38) 2627 kataklusmos from 2626; “Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed <2626> with water, perished:” (2 Pet. 3:6) 2626 katakluzo from 2596 and the base of 2830; “... and rebuked the wind and the raging < 2830> of the water” (Lk. 8:24) “For he that wavereth is like a wave <2830> of the sea driven with the wind and tossed” (Jas. 1:6)

4. “Naturally it is the policy of the evolutionist to grab as much time as possible in order to give his processes a longer opportunity to accomplish something. So when there is no strong evidence one way or another, the longer time-scale gets the preference”. Eddington, A. (1940) “The Expanding Universe”, Harmondsworth, Pelican, p. 65. http://www.starpointing.com/images/ccdgallery/preview/m101.jpg

7. “An Icelander who has studied geology and geomorphoplogy at foreign universities is later taught by experience in his own homeland that the time scale he had been trained to attach to geological developments is misleading when assessments are made of the forces – constructive and destructive – which have molded and are still molding the face of Iceland. What elsewhere may take thousands of years may be accomplished here in one century. All the same he is amazed whenever he comes to Surtsey, because the same may take a few weeks or even a few days here”. Thorarinsson, S. (1969) Surtsey: The new island in the North Atlantic, London, Cassell, p. 39.

8. “On Surtsey only a few months sufficed for a landscape to be created which was so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief” p. 39. Thorarinsson, S. (1969) Surtsey: The new island in the North Atlantic, London, Cassell, p. 39.

9. The Flood Surtsey Creation Believable Beyond Belief

11. “During the autumn and winter months, changes in the region’s wind patterns result in the level of the Pacific Ocean creeping upwards along the Alaska Peninsula. After correcting for seasonal variations in atmospheric pressure, this rise in sea level amounts to only 17 cm – about the span of an outstretched hand – small, but sufficient, it seems, to have a controlling influence on the timing of Pavlof’s eruptions” pp. 101,102.

12. The Ark • Gopher wood • Rooms (“nests”)

14. The Ark • Gopher wood • Rooms (“nests”) • Pitch

16. The Ark • Gopher wood • Rooms (“nests”) • Pitch • Length, breadth, height

17. “And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits” (Gen. 6:15). “He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars” (1 Kgs. 7:2).

19. “And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon” (1 Kgs. 10:17). “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire ...” ( 1 Pet. 1:7). Therefore the shields of gold were shields of faith. How do the shields of faith in the House of the Forest of Lebanon link with Noah?

20. Like the shields in the House of the Forest of Lebanon “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Eph. 6:16). Like the Flood

21. The Ark • Gopher wood • Rooms (“nests”) • Pitch • Length, breadth, height • Window

23. 06672 tsohar from 06671; AV-noon 11, noonday 9, day 1, midday 1, noontide + 06256 1, window 1; 24 “Which make oil <06671> within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst” (Job 24:11).

24. The Ark • Gopher wood • Pitch • Length, breadth, height • Window • Door(way)

25. “A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door <06607> of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it” (Gen. 6:16). “And for the entering <06607> of the oracle he made doors <01817> of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall” (1 Kgs. 6:31).

26. “Above all, taking the shield <2375> of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” (Eph. 6:16). 2375 thureos from 2374; AV-shield 1; 1) a shield, a large oblong, four cornered shield 2374 thura AV-door 38, gate 1; “And when they were come, and had gathered the ecclesia together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door <2374> of faith unto the Gentiles” (Acts 14:27).

27. The Ark • Gopher wood • Pitch • Length, breadth, height • Window • Door(way) • Lower, second and third stories

28. Eutychus falls out of the ark

29. “Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female” (Gen. 7:2). “But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean” (Acts 10:14). Therefore unclean = Gentiles. “That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel” (Eph. 3:6). “May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height” (Eph. 3:18). i.e. We must comprehend that the dimensions are large enough for both Jew and Gentile.

30. “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height” (Eph. 3:17,18). Rooted = like a tree Grounded = like a building. The House (grounded) of the Forest (rooted) of Lebanon.

31. “and the ark went upon the face of the waters” (Gen. 7:18). “Cast thy bread upon the face of the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days” (Eccl. 11:1). “and cast out the wheat into the sea” (Acts 27:38). “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life” (Jno. 6:35). • Bread = life • Noah cast his life upon the water when he went in the ark. • Christ cast his life upon the water when • he walked on the water • he gave his life • We cast our lives upon the waters when we give our life for Christ.

32. “Cast thy bread upon the face of the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days” (Eccl. 11:1). “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it” (Mt. 10:39). “and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary” (Acts 28:10). • Noah found his life when he stepped out the ark • Christ found his life when he was resurrected • We will find our life when we are given eternal life.
