An Anchor of the Soul

Danby House

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

( Hebrews 6:18-20 )

God cannot lie.

Cutting the Link between Mass and Gravity

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Can Math Prove There’s no Hell?

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

(1 Samuel 2:8) KJV

If you use circular reasoning to induce a rationalization of the premise that there’s no hell, but there is a hell, and then you code your rationale as math, does hell disappear?

Present Day

What can we say? Hell is continuing to expand. It’s the cause of global warming. Believing in Jesus Christ is the only way to escape it. The expansion of hell is at least 2 predictive testable hypotheses:

  1. If hell is expanding then oceans should be warming from the bottom up,
  2. If hell is at the center of the earth and there is a great gulf of open space as Jesus described (Luke 16:19-31) then we would expect to find that it is indicated by a P-wave shadow zone.

Both of these hypotheses are confirmed by empirical observations.

The Great Gulf P-wave Shadow.

The Time of Peleg

The expansion of hell melted the foundations of the mountains completely. There was now no support for the pillars of the earth and the crust of the earth collapsed.

It appears that the earth lost about 1,200 km of radius, and 8,000 km in circumference. Both of these concepts are part of the development of the theory of plate tectonics, they are referred to as radial shrinkage and circumferential shortening.

Evolution and Plate Tectonics

It is hard to imagine living through this event. Certainly we have not experienced anything this dramatic since it happened.

Pangaea

The Pangaea Super-continent after Noah's flood

These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

(Genesis 10:1) ESV

In popular science (SciPop) Pangaea is the original super-continent which predates the formation of the continents as we know them today. This is a conclusion which we deduce from the evidence.

Enduring Noah’s Flood

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the relative depth of Noah's flood

<< Previous | Next >>

Upper Noachian

Some people have gone to great lengths to be able to say that there is presently not enough water on earth to flood it to a depth of 15 cubits above all mountains. They use math to do this so, naturally, everybody believes them because, hey, it’s math. Those folk are, sadly, depending of the philosophical foundation of nineteenth Century Uniformitarianism. Uniformitarianism is the belief that the conditions on earth have been so stable for so long that the conditions of the present day are a sufficiently accurate indicator of conditions in the past.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

There are several reasons why the math-based flood-deniers are not even in the same ball park:

  1. they have not considered the great deep, a vast open space inside the earth (replaced in the scientific paradigm by the outer core) which was full of water,
  2. they have not considered an extra terrestrial source of water which, we are told, was part of the event,
  3. they have not considered that the mountain ranges they use as a measure, i.e. the Himalayas, did not form until AFTER Noah’s flood,
  4. and they have not considered that the earth’s radius has shrunk dramatically since the time of the flood.

So, just because a bunch of flood-deniers can wave some math around, don’t believe it. If you want to see some math on how much water was available in the great deep see the post Noah’s Math.

Noah’s Flood

<< Previous | Next >>

Lower Noachian

Noah’s flood was not only a world-wide catastrophe, it was also a very complex process which involved several phases. The first of these was when the fountains of the deep burst open and the windows of heaven opened. The fountains of the deep burst open because the expansion of hell caused the waters of the great deep to heat up, eventually to boiling point where they were in contact with the core. The pressure burst open the fountains of the great deep and caused hot water to come flooding out of the ground in many locations around the globe.

As this was occurring, water from above the firmament, which had been traveling through space for some time, also hit the earth. This water was very cold, probably frozen, and so we have the intermixing of very hot and very cold water in a deluge which is rapidly drowning the earth. The evidence of this process is sufficient to have led naturalists of bygone ages to propose that “Gigantic waves,” wrote J. Geikie, “were supposed to have precipitated upon the land, and swept madly on over mountain and valley alike, carrying along with them a mighty burden of rocks and stones and rubbish.” The problem was that no cause could be ascertained which could account for the gigantic waves, and the idea was replaced by the theory of ice ages.

It should now be possible to resolve all of these issues. The Noachian is the term we are giving to the sedimentary deposits which were deposited in Noah’s flood. This includes strata currently assigned to all Periods of the geological time scale from the Cambrian to the Quaternary. This equates to the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras. We have already seen the way in which the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary (Mesozoic/Cenozoic) with its Iridium anomaly can be resolved as the moment when the 40 days and nights of rain ended, but we may also be able to define the boundary between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras as part of the process of the flood too.

When the waters of the great deep burst forth and were met at the surface of earth by the waters from above the firmament there were indeed gigantic waves which propagated from the equator to the poles, destroying everything in their path and carrying the debris along with devastating force. As these waves reached the poles they gained height and energy, scrubbed the poles completely clean of all surface deposits, then began to retreat back to the equator. This is the Paleozoic/Mesozoic boundary. The waters made their first pass across the land traveling from the equator to the poles, depositing the sediments which we refer to as the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian (Paleozoic Era). The water then reversed course and flowed back to the equator, depositing the sediments which we assign to the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous (Mesozoic). When the rain ended and the waves stopped propagating the Tertiary and Quaternary sediments were deposited (Cenozoic). We are going to call the Cenozoic Era the Upper Noachian.

The Lower Noachian encompasses the Paleozoic Era, the Middle Noachian encompasses the Mesozoic Era.

This is just a rough idea. Bear in mind that all rock strata were deposited in the same event: Noah’s flood. The only reason that they have been arranged in the way that they have in the geological time scale is to make it compatible with the basic premise of the theory of evolution, which is the idea that simple forms are the oldest, more complex forms are recent.

Antediluvian: Before Noah’s Flood

<< Previous | Next >>

Warmian/Antediluvian

Based on what happens next in the history of earth we are speculating that the people of Noah’s time experienced Antediluvian global warming. Hell has continued to expand, as prophesied in Deuteronomy 32:22, and is melting the foundations of the earth. This is causing the waters of the great deep to heat up, which in turn has to be having an effect on the climate ate the surface of earth.


Before the Fall

Naiveian

For all we know the period after the end of creation and before the fall of man, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, was a day. It could have been years. We aren’t told. We are told that the creation fell and began to decay.

Before this happened, however, the earth was a complex planet with a hydrological cycle which involved water of the great deep cycling through the interior of the earth.
