This podcast explains the symbolic images used by John in his vision of the second seal of seven opened in Revelation 6:3-4. In these verses he sees a red horse and rider, which represent bloodshed and death in the second thousand years of the earth’s temporal existence. This coincides in time with the period of the great flood in the days of Noah between 3000 and 2000 BC. This podcast also explains the mechanism of the flood by first talking about the creation. The earth was organized through accretion which resulted in a hot molten earth. As the earth cooled rapidly, hot magma began to crystalize to form oceanic crust and continental crust. In the earth’s cooling process, water was expelled to form a shallow ocean on the surface of the crust. Continued cooling beneath the earth’s crust caused additional water to be expelled which formed a subterranean ocean. At the time of the flood, a rupture in the crust allowed the subterranean waters to be expelled to the surface very rapidly. This is described in Genesis 7:11 as the “fountains of the great deep.” The effects of this rupture in the crust are discussed in this podcast.
