    I know with God anything is possible but I have wondered sometimes how did Noah get all of the animals from all over the world to the ark over the seas and from all corners of the earth like back then they had to do it all the hard way and it is truly amazing to me! I am sure there is a answer but I have not seen it and thanks again!

    Dear Norman,

    I've thought about that question before, not just how did animals get to their respective geographic regions, but people too. It's my opinion that the Tower of Babel was a significant event. Languages were created and people were scattered. I believe races and cultures and certain geography were allocated to each people group at the same time. For example, Chinese to China, Indians to India, etc. So, did they all get on boats and float around to their destination, or did they teleport? I believe they either they were instantly placed there or they walked. How would they walk with oceans? I think it's possible that the continents were all in one land mass at that time. South America kinda looks like it could fit into Africa, etc. So, I think its conceivable that this connected land mass explains how animals exited the ark and got to their respective climates, and that the Tower of Babel could have been a scattering of land masses and people. Again this is only my theory and opinion.

    Thanks Adam,

    Thanks, there are so many things I wonder about and it may be silly on my part? One thing, I believe every word in the Bible and I never ask questions to try to prove it wrong I ask questions because I am so interested!

    This one I have wondered about and that is that Jesus is going to meet us in the air to judge us so how can he do that when there are millions or billions of people to judge? How could you have that much time? One thing is I know Jesus can do anything with a blink of a eye. How will he be able to talk to that many people? I think I must keep in mind that we may all be spirits not human like? Man what a day that will be, can you just think what it would be like talking to Jesus face to face! One thing I know for sure without a doubt it will be well worth it my friends!!

    Jesus can be in more than one place at one time, as He is everywhere as God. It is nothing for God to judge each of us individually and simultaneously. Even when on Earth, Jesus said he would be wherever two or three are gathered in His name. The judgement for believers is not to judge our sins, but to reward our works. There is no condemnation for those in Jesus ( Rom 8:1). The judgement for us is more like an awards ceremony. The judgement for sinners who have rejected Jesus is quite different, as there is no one to pay for their sins, therefore they have the second death. The wages of sin is death. The gift of eternal life is for those who trust in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.
  • The Believers CAUGHT UP in the CLOUDS - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    We're told in the parable of the 10 virgins to be prepared; to have our lamps full of oil. (That would be the oil of joy of the Holy Spirit)

    According to Jewish marriage traditions: after the betrothal when we accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, there's a period of time when the details of the marriage is worked out. The grooms father will announce it when all is ready in preparations. The Groom builds an addition onto his fathers house for he and the Bride to return to after the wedding ceremony.

    In our part of this we are to wait, with wedding dress and oil. To WATCH and be READY to go with Him as soon as He appears. All born again believers are invited to this event. It's a covenant between His (Bride) Church and Himself.

    The dead in Christ will awake and be changed into their resurrection bodies. Their soul and spirit will be restored to them in the CLOUDS. Their caskets will be left open: the cremated, those lost at "sea", or bodies never recovered, burned, whatever state of the remains: will be restored in the blink of an eye.

    Then those alive on earth will rise to join them in their resurrection bodies also. We will join our Bridegroom and proceed to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God.

    Jesus has invited everybody on earth to experience the joy of salvation and be there with Him. I don't believe we will see what happens on earth after billions of people disappear in that eye blink.

    I do believe that the Election of the Gentiles will pass immediately to the Jews that are left on earth. Jews must be accept salvation just as we did. Some are saved Now and will go with Jesus. The Antichrist will be revealed at this time. 144,000 Sealed by God, Jewish evangelists will begin their ministry to the remaining Jewish people and even those LEFT BEHIND gentile unbelievers.

    Don't miss out on this! It's been in the Bible for 6000 years. You are invited. Accept It. Come to Jesus Now. Do Not procrastinate.

    Mishael
