Did you know: That Noah was not 120 years building the ark?
In Gen. 6:8-10 we read that by the time Noah was told to build the ark he already had three sons. According to Gen. 6:18, these three sons were already grown and married by the time God told Noah to build the boat. In Gen. 11:10 we read that two years after the flood Shem…
Did you know: That God is a real person and has a spirit-body, a personal soul, and a personal spirit?
(Job 13:8; Heb. 1:3; Dan. 7:9-14; 10:5-7; Ezek. 1:26-28; Jn. 5:37; Rev. 4:2-4; 5:1-7; Acts 7:54-59). God has a “soul” (Heb. 10:38; Isa. 42:1); “spirit” (Ps. 143:10; Isa. 30:1); “hands” and “fingers” (Exod. 31:18; Ps. 8:3-6; Rev. 5:1-7); “hair,” “face,” and other bodily parts (Dan. 7:9-14; 10:5-19; Exod. 24:10; 33:20-23; Ezek. 1:26-28). God “eats” (Gen….
Did you know: That giants fifteen to thirty feet tall lived on the Earth during two different periods of time?
In Gen. 6:4 we read, “There were giants in the earth in those days [before the flood]; and also after that [after the flood], when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them.” Thus, giants were born and grew up in those days. That these giants…
Did you know: That the Earth is more than 6,000 years old and that there were inhabitants on this Earth before Adam?
This is true. There have already been 6,172 years from Adam to 1948, as we shall see in our future lessons. Not only this, but the Bible teaches that there was a social system on the Earth that was destroyed by a great flood long before Adam. This flood is pictured in Gen. 1:2 as covering…
Did you know: That the Earth was at one time one solid piece of land without islands and continents?
In Gen. 1:9-13 we read that the Earth came forth as one land and the waters were one body of water. In Gen. 10:25 and 1 Chron. 1:19 we read that in the days of Peleg the earth was “divided,” or split into continents and islands. The Hebrew word for “divided” is palag, and is…
Did you know: That men with natural bodies have gone to Heaven and have been living there for thousands of years?
Enoch has been in Heaven over 5,185 years and Elijah has been there over 2,600 years and yet neither of them have died (Gen. 5:24; Heb. 11:5; 2 Ki. 2; Mal. 4:4-5; Zech. 4:11-14; Rev. 11:3-7). The old theory that flesh and blood cannot enter Heaven is not biblical, for while it says “flesh and…
Did you know: That man will have access to the planets in the future?
The Bible teaches that redeemed man will go back and forth between Heaven and other planets in the New Heavens and the New Earth. This was to be man’s privilege before he fell, but he sinned and came short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). Man was originally given dominion over the sun, moon,…
Did you know: That Heaven and the planets are inhabited?
This is clear from many Scriptures: “Rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them . . . he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme… them that dwell in heaven” (Rev. 12:12; 13:6). See also Col. 1:16-18; Rom. 1:20; 1 Cor. 15:35-50. Finis J. Dake, God’s Plan for Man, (Lawrenceville, GA: Dake…
Did you know: That there is no end of the world taught in Scripture?
In all the references in Lesson One, Point 1, concerning “the end of the world,” the Greek word is aion and means “age.” There will be an end to this age, but not an end of the world. The common theory held by men that the world is coming to an end is based upon…
Did you know: That it did rain from time to time before the flood?
The Scripture used to prove that it did not rain before the flood is Gen. 2:5-6. Anyone reading these verses of Scripture should see that this refers to the time before plants were in the ground and before man was created to till the soil. God created the clouds “to cause it to rain on…
