📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. ~~ Having quiet times of reflection lately ~~ thinking how the Son of God, yea, God Himself came to earth, and lived as a Man I once was lost, now I am saved by His Amazing Grace, so simple - nuff said! Thank you Heavenly Father - :prayer-hands: I look forward to seeing you soon face to face!!!! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. Just wondering if there were no mountains prior to the flood? Was it all flat land? It says the waters covered the high hills and then the mountains but could they have formed when the fountains of the great deep broke up and pushed their way to the earth surface? Also wondering why Noah’s ark rested on Mt Ararat in Turkey and still covered under ice? Was it to preserve the ark down through the centuries so man could not get to it to destroy the evidence? And will it be used for some purpose in the millennium period ... perhaps as a museum to visit as we are teaching Bible history to those who were allowed to enter the kingdom age? Wouldn’t that be cool? Genesis 7 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. The same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. Christ being our rock is the highest mountain! For prior to His return, the mountains of the world will be leveled. TR
