“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. … That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.'” (John 3:3, 6 NASB)

The Torah reading Noakh, covering Genesis 6:9–11:32, is a testimony of the origin of Abraham and Israel, of different people groups and of languages. This is real history, not legend or allegory. That is important, because it’s a testimony about the intentions and actions of the Creator.

And the “days of Noah” (Matt. 24:36–44; Luke 17:22–37) teach us how we become “born again” via the Mashiakh (Christ) of God.

We see some key genealogies in this section, including Noach, Shem and Abraham. The names listed are not just random names. The meanings of their names tell a message.

Our modern culture attacks the historical account of the Flood. Often, investigators follow the evidence where their ideology takes them, imposing a worldview on it. There are many examples where huge amounts of water moved not just huge amounts of dirt but rock as well. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest testimonies of the global Flood. Yet scholars from the late 1700s increasingly refuse to accept that they have been wrong about the Flood and have created very fanciful tales to try to obfuscate that truth. 

Thanks to recent geological events such as the explosion of Mt. St. Helens, we see how water moves and buries large amounts of natural matter such as trees in multiple layers of sediment in a matter of days or weeks, not the millions of years fantasy we are taught in our culture. 

God is indeed revealing some of His secrets and confounding the “wise.” Even those who don’t believe in God or want anything to do with God are seeing from observation of the natural world that there’s so much order and structure that there must be a master architect in control of it all.

Flood survivors ≈ ‘new creation’

Apostle Paul wrote that when we let our old way of life “die” — leave its desires behind — we become a “new creation” (2Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:10, 15; 4:24; Col. 3:10; Gal. 6:5). We are different from who we were before. We had to be “born again” (John 3:1–8).

The new creation is not accidental, and the original creation was not accidental either (Isa. 45:12, 18; Gen. 2:1–3). Everything we see was made with profound intention and God will see it all to completion. 

This model we see in the account of the Flood will also be observed by those who live to see the Day of the Lord, not with water, but with fire. 

We see all sorts of proof of a worldwide flood which destroyed all people, land and many sea creatures:

* Rock layers, like those seen in the Grand Canyon. 

* Geological layers of sediment cross states, oceans and continents. Little signs of erosion between the layers.

* Fossils are creatures buried in sediment and transformed into rock by chemical processes.

* Many fossils show little signs of decomposition and burial in the midst of running, eating, giving birth and digesting.

* Increasing discoveries of “biomaterial fossils” such as flexible blood vessels in T. Rex bones and DNA (tiny.cc/biomaterial-fossils-list).

* The world has groups of core (“proto” per evolutionists) languages with few agreed linkages. Typical tree of languages has about a dozen languages of tongues....
