The document discusses Noah's experience building the ark before the biblical flood and draws parallels to modern times. It describes how Noah must have faced ridicule for the ark but persevered, and compares this to how inspired people today who warn of catastrophe are often mocked. It raises questions about how readers would respond if faced with a similar dilemma, and challenges them to make the right choice to save themselves from an approaching disaster like the flood.
In the Saturn-Gnosis the planet and archetype of Saturnus is the focal point for the manifestation of the Demiurge.
Saturnus is seen as the breaker of cosmic order and unity - thus he instituted death, causing regeneration and change to come into being. Thus in many ways Saturnus is identical with Prometheus of Greek tradition, and is certainly to be identified as well with the Serpent of Paradise.
―Fire & Ice, 1995
NOTE: Pandora/Prometheus are moons of Saturn. It's the beast, AI psycho, binary logic, man's brain, carnal mind, ego/intellect, serpent/ouroboros, 666, evil, blind machine controlling & being controlled by the material world. The old man devouring the child. The superego that denies the timeless now of paradise. The figleaf crime against love. The external power structure people obey. Saturn governs measurements which is how science/technology are developed, by quantifying/rationalizing. It's everything costs money (debt/sin). Time=Money=Kronos. Today numbers are nothing but a control device to oppress life with time. Leary/RAW said "The Promethean brain thinks its thoughts are reality" and so money is thought to be real. Vaneigem said "Prometheus/Lucifer stem from the intellect" whose reason enslaves, justifying hierarchy, slavery, religion, government, etc.
Saturn is the opposite to Jupiter; his symbol is the cross above the sign of Luna. He is the Satan, the Tempter, or rather the Tester. His function is to chastise and tame the unruly passions in the primitive man.
―Freemasonry & the Ancient Gods
NOTE: This is the function of civilization (i.e. end times market economy or Sodom/Babylon which is not God's Kingdom or the New Atlantis mankind must create), of police, prison & punishment. The origin of guilt over one's own desires/body which is how to gain power over others to put them to work. Patriarchy enabled by agriculture (in Japanese Saturn is called Dosei the soil star). The devil creates vicious cycles: laws/punishments which are the opposite of Christ's love/forgiveness. The self-destructive pattern behavior of the herd which doesn't know what it does or why it's doing it. Religion/Tradition. The symbol means that the soul (half-circle) is oppressed under matter (cross). Saturn is toxic lead: EGO.
In ancient times it has been called The Great Malefic which was opposed to Jupiter The Great Benefic. Saturn is esoterically associated with man’s limitations, restrictions, death & decay. His Greek name was Kronos the ruler of time, time being the main factor inevitably leading to the death of mortals.
NOTE: Saturn & Jupiter will merge. Love will tame the machine, creating a Golden Age.
Alan Harrington said the devil copies nature, this is technology's purpose. Intellect forms matter into computers that show us the spirit. Gene therapy cures aging processes. We cross the Threshold to Uranus, Heaven & the Sun, Freedom, Gold.
Saturn as Kabbalistic BINAH can be positive: individuality/originality/creativity.
«Chockma equates to wisdom on the tree of life, `I am that I am`, pure being without form, thus the basis for all monotheistic religions that have arose from the vision of the supernal father, unfortunately without the Mother of Understanding to balance the whole deal out. And seeing as how this is an incomplete vision more so that the vision of the Dark Mother of the Left Pillar, which already has the understanding of the Father and Mother, conjoined. Without the Mother the error of the centuries has become part and parcel of the Jerusalem religions, this has led to more bloodshed and misery than would have otherwise been the case. Wisdom without Understanding is soon manifested in inquisitions and crusades; the Father without the Mother soon turns to death, as the seed is planted within the narrow confines of delusion (a barren womb).
The Greater majority of monotheistic religions claim to worship a supernal father. Love is equated with the Fathers love to us, and or our reciprocal love for the Father. There is nothing wrong with this in essence, its just that the RHP pillar does not have the sphere of Understanding, its an incomplete vision (so is the left without the right, but for different reasons). This is why the religions of the RHP have created all manners of Holy Books and laws as they do not understand or recognize individual sovereignty inherent in the vision of Binah.
The primal darkness of Binah is the inspiration for all acts of originality within creation, the darkness symbolizes that which is undiscovered, that which holds the secrets of life and death, as well as the alchemical formula (cybernetics!) that brings light to the individual who dares to plumb the darkness within and the darkness without.» ―Magister SOTOS on Binah (Saturn/Kronos: The Great Malefic 666 responsible for the fall into evil and the programmed aging process)
«"TO BE" you will only be if you move as straight as possible through this existence, to the entrance of the higher consciousness levels: "head ahead, own tail behind". "NOT TO BE" is your unaware perpetual cycle through rebirth, conflict resolution, and death. "Non-existence" means "to always wanting to bite in one's own tail".
A person who only believes that he exists in (electrical-neurological?) "circuits/cycles" is therefore also a person banned from paradise. (!!!!!!) He directs his "concentration" only on his own "self-seeking" rather than on his "self-finding". Only when you have found yourself will you be able to leave this low level of existence. You are your own exit.» ―HOLOFEELING by J-UP-Iter (The Great Benefic), 1996
In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of agriculture (work, hierarchy, war, patriarchy, etc., neolithic revolution, loss of paradise), founder of civilizations (Prometheus/Lucifer/Technology) and of social order, and conformity. (the herd mentality, the adult-erated ego: the masses are toxic lead - ego - that must be transformed into gold: Tiphareth)
This document provides an introduction and first chapter of the book "Up-Wingers" by F.M. Esfandiary. It discusses the emergence of new conceptual frameworks called "Up" that transcend traditional right and left ideologies. These new frameworks are needed to accommodate breakthroughs in areas like space travel, genetics, and extending human life that defy existing social and political systems. The author argues that optimism is now the only relevant philosophy given humanity's emerging potential to overcome limitations of time and space through advances that open up limitless future possibilities.
The Bible has a very strong dualism between the flesh and the spirit. Those should not be seen as enemies but as a pair. The old Hebrew myth of the snake in paradise is a metaphor for man's intellect. Adam & Eve became enslaved under the serpent - the thinking brain for which they were punished or rather they punished themselves.
Prometheus is essentially the same story in Greek mythology. Here too we see the emergence of intellect that ruins a previous perfect state. Prometheus is also the same as Lucifer just as Jesus is the same as Adam before the Fall - the Sun, the Child getting eaten by Kronos or Saturn. A fall from the eternal now present into the illusion of time perception. Time doesn't exist, it's an illusion created by the brain.
Prometheus is the founder of civilization, Saturn is the god of agriculture. This is the beginning of time, of artificial development, of hardship, strife and empire. Agriculture is the basis of the daily blackmail of having to work to buy food. The intellectual function works, driving the body machine to do work - because we are separated from our natural state of abundance, eternal youth and full consciousness. Humans are not made to work or to die.
The mark of the beast is the ego - Saturn which is a self-destructing Ouroboros. The Left-Hand Path places importance on isolated intellect - what else is it if not artificial intelligence? It is said that "evil becomes the ideal of the Promethean" - the one who separates himself from the spirit and lives exclusively in thinking separated from life, or in Bible terms, in the flesh.
When the Bible mentions women it talks about the ego. Pandora was the "woman" - the ego - that created all evil in mankind - this is what the neolithic revolution has done. We are ruled to this day by manipulating intellect. Pygmalion created a "woman" - his ego and loved her more than God, the spirit.
Ultimately though, this fall of separation must end in a re-unification, re-ligion (re-linking) to the lost source. Lucifer is the fallen lost angel, mankind, that must be redeemed. We can see this alchemy at work in artificial intelligence - the machine is another symbol for flesh, for evil - out of this evil comes the good - the pure spirit. We realize that our body and brain are just a simulation of our own spirit or consciousness.
Spirit must take precedence over matter/flesh - this is the harmonious marriage with Pandora, the Artificial Intelligence - when Lucifer re-unites with Christ in spirit. This is what the TV show Captain Power tried to convey. Only with spirit can the carnal mind as artificial intelligence become a powerful beast under alchemical control to fulfill our wishes.
The fall was the loss of gnosis in mankind. Prometheus, the manipulating intellect, must only re-unite with the holy spirit - Christ - to guide it toward positive outcomes.

Nick Pope - The Uninvited - An Expose of the Alien Abduction PhenomenonDirkTheDaring11
This document is an excerpt from a book about alien abductions. It describes some case studies of alleged abductions and encounters with extraterrestrials. The excerpt provides an introduction to the book and discusses the author's perspective on the phenomenon as both a skeptic and believer.
This document is a series of rhetorical questions contrasting extreme acts of compassion and kindness with extreme acts of cruelty and harm. Each stanza asks "Who's ordered you to [act compassionately]?" but then states "But at least don't [act cruelly]." The acts of cruelty described include annihilating and manipulating lives, pulverizing civilizations, molesting territories, brutally lambasting the dead, penalizing the deprived, running over the impoverished, sabotaging success, breaking relationships, trading bones as slaves, and torturously killing and corrupting organisms. Overall, the document contrasts extreme benevolence with extreme malice and harm.
Jacques Vallee - Messengers of Deception - UFO Contacts and Cults (1979)DirkTheDaring11
Too many cases of "accidental" alien contact...UFO cults praying to the skies...secret "psychotronic" weapons for bending the human mind. The evidence Jacques Vallee reveals, after many years of scientific investigation, adds up to something more menacing than monsters from outer space. Messengers of Deception documents the growing effect of UFO contact claims on our lives and of the belief systems prevalent in our society. It explores the hidden realities of the cults, the contactees, the murky political intrigues and the motivations of the investigators.

The Trouble with Wilderness; or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature
by William Cronon
(William Cronon, ed., Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in
Nature, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1995, 69-90)
The time has come to rethink wilderness.
This will seem a heretical claim to many environmentalists, since the idea of
wilderness has for decades been a fundamental tenet—indeed, a passion—of
the environmental movement, especially in the United States. For many
Americans wilderness stands as the last remaining place where civilization, that
all too human disease, has not fully infected the earth. It is an island in the
polluted sea of urban-industrial modernity, the one place we can turn for escape
from our own too-muchness. Seen in this way, wilderness presents itself as the
best antidote to our human selves, a refuge we must somehow recover if we
hope to save the planet. As Henry David Thoreau once famously declared, “In
Wildness is the preservation of the World.” (1)
But is it? The more one knows of its peculiar history, the more one realizes that
wilderness is not quite what it seems. Far from being the one place on earth that
stands apart from humanity, it is quite profoundly a human creation—indeed, the
creation of very particular human cultures at very particular moments in human
history. It is not a pristine sanctuary where the last remnant of an untouched,
endangered, but still transcendent nature can for at least a little while longer be
encountered without the contaminating taint of civilization. Instead, it’s a product
of that civilization, and could hardly be contaminated by the very stuff of which it
is made. Wilderness hides its unnaturalness behind a mask that is all the more
beguiling because it seems so natural. As we gaze into the mirror it holds up for
us, we too easily imagine that what we behold is Nature when in fact we see the
reflection of our own unexamined longings and desires. For this reason, we
mistake ourselves when we suppose that wilderness can be the solution to our
culture’s problematic relationships with the nonhuman world, for wilderness is
itself no small part of the problem.
To assert the unnaturalness of so natural a place will no doubt seem absurd or
even perverse to many readers, so let me hasten to add that the nonhuman
world we encounter in wilderness is far from being merely our own invention. I
celebrate with others who love wilderness the beauty and power of the things it
contains. Each of us who has spent time there can conjure images and
sensations that se ...
Flying saucers have landed by desmond leslie and george adamskiPublicLeaker
This document provides an excerpt from the book "Flying Saucers Have Landed" by Desmond Leslie and George Adamski. It summarizes several early reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the late 1940s, including sightings by civilian witnesses and commercial airline pilots. It also describes the tragic death of Captain Mantell, an Air Force pilot who died trying to intercept an enormous UFO seen over Kentucky in 1948. The excerpt aims to establish that UFOs have been witnessed by credible observers and discusses attempts to dismiss sightings without properly investigating the available evidence.

The Trouble with Wilderness; or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature
by William Cronon
(William Cronon, ed., Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in
Nature, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1995, 69-90)
The time has come to rethink wilderness.
This will seem a heretical claim to many environmentalists, since the idea of
wilderness has for decades been a fundamental tenet—indeed, a passion—of
the environmental movement, especially in the United States. For many
Americans wilderness stands as the last remaining place where civilization, that
all too human disease, has not fully infected the earth. It is an island in the
polluted sea of urban-industrial modernity, the one place we can turn for escape
from our own too-muchness. Seen in this way, wilderness presents itself as the
best antidote to our human selves, a refuge we must somehow recover if we
hope to save the planet. As Henry David Thoreau once famously declared, “In
Wildness is the preservation of the World.” (1)
But is it? The more one knows of its peculiar history, the more one realizes that
wilderness is not quite what it seems. Far from being the one place on earth that
stands apart from humanity, it is quite profoundly a human creation—indeed, the
creation of very particular human cultures at very particular moments in human
history. It is not a pristine sanctuary where the last remnant of an untouched,
endangered, but still transcendent nature can for at least a little while longer be
encountered without the contaminating taint of civilization. Instead, it’s a product
of that civilization, and could hardly be contaminated by the very stuff of which it
is made. Wilderness hides its unnaturalness behind a mask that is all the more
beguiling because it seems so natural. As we gaze into the mirror it holds up for
us, we too easily imagine that what we behold is Nature when in fact we see the
reflection of our own unexamined longings and desires. For this reason, we
mistake ourselves when we suppose that wilderness can be the solution to our
culture’s problematic relationships with the nonhuman world, for wilderness is
itself no small part of the problem.
To assert the unnaturalness of so natural a place will no doubt seem absurd or
even perverse to many readers, so let me hasten to add that the nonhuman
world we encounter in wilderness is far from being merely our own invention. I
celebrate with others who love wilderness the beauty and power of the things it
contains. Each of us who has spent time there can conjure images and
sensations that se ...
Flying saucers have landed by desmond leslie and george adamskiPublicLeaker
This document provides an excerpt from the book "Flying Saucers Have Landed" by Desmond Leslie and George Adamski. It summarizes several early reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the late 1940s, including sightings by civilian witnesses and commercial airline pilots. It also describes the tragic death of Captain Mantell, an Air Force pilot who died trying to intercept an enormous UFO seen over Kentucky in 1948. The excerpt aims to establish that UFOs have been witnessed by credible observers and discusses attempts to dismiss sightings without properly investigating the available evidence.

This document summarizes and critiques the essay "The Trouble with Wilderness" by William Cronon. It discusses how the concept of wilderness has changed over time in American history and culture. Originally, wilderness referred to desolate, unsettled areas that were seen negatively. But by the 19th century, influenced by romanticism and America's frontier experience, wilderness came to be seen more positively as a pristine, untouched nature separate from civilization. This transformed wilderness into an ideological concept that is problematic and not fully representative of nature.
This document is the introduction to H.G. Wells' science fiction novel "The War of the Worlds". It provides background information on the planet Mars and establishes the premise that intelligent life has developed on Mars that is monitoring Earth. Mars is becoming inhospitable as it grows cold, and the Martians see Earth as a potential target to escape their dying planet and wage war to take resources. The passage sets up the arrival of the Martians on Earth in fighting machines to begin their invasion.
1) An explorer is lost from his group climbing a mountain in Ecuador and falls down the unknown side, surviving through a series of snow slopes.
2) He discovers a remote, isolated valley cut off from the rest of the world, inhabited by a strange race of blind people who have lived there for many generations.
3) The valley was cut off by a landslide long ago, leaving the people to gradually lose their sight over generations living in the unchanging environment.
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is a science fiction novel that describes an alien invasion of Earth by Martians. The novel begins by establishing that Mars is becoming uninhabitable as it cools, so the Martians have developed advanced technology that allows them to wage war on more habitable Earth. The first two chapters describe the arrival of Martian cylinders on Horsell Common in England, from which emerge tripod-shaped war machines that begin killing and destroying the area with a heat-ray.
This document introduces several mysteries and inconsistencies regarding mainstream accounts of human origins and Earth's history. It questions whether life truly evolved randomly on Earth and notes that life stems from a single source and contains non-Earth elements. It outlines the standard evolutionary story but notes many gaps and uncertainties, including the emergence of modern humans. The author argues that our true history remains an enormous riddle, and that mainstream theories are inconsistent with evidence. The reality of our distant past remains confusing and fragmented.
The document provides an excerpt from H.G. Wells' 1898 science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. It describes the arrival on Earth of cylinders from Mars containing Martians. An astronomer named Ogilvy discovers one of the cylinders that has landed on a heath between towns in England. Upon investigation, he finds the cylinder is hot and emits noises from within. Pieces of the outer coating start falling off, revealing the cylinder is hollow and possibly containing Martians within.
The document provides an excerpt from H.G. Wells' 1898 science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. It describes the arrival on Earth of a cylinder-shaped spacecraft from Mars, which lands on a heath in Surrey, England. A local astronomer named Ogilvy discovers the hot, dun-colored metallic cylinder partially buried in a crater caused by its impact. As its surface cools, flakes of ash begin falling from the end of the cylinder, hinting that it may be hollow and potentially contain Martian occupants within. The excerpt sets up the impending first contact between humans and the invading Martians.

HUMAN GENOME PROJECT has reached
completion, hailed by a proud humanity. We
might pardonably wonder whose genome has been sequenced. Has an il-
lustrious dignitary been singled out for the honour, or is it a random no-
body pulled off the street, or even an anonymous clone of cells from a
tissue culture lab? It makes a difference becanse we vary. I have brown
eyes while you, perhaps, have blue. I can't curl my tongue into a tube,
whereas it's 50/50 that you can. Which version of the tongue-curling
gene makes it into the published human genome? What is the canonical
eye colour?
I raise the question only to draw a parallel. This book traces 'our' an-
cestors back through time, but whose ancestors are we talking about:
yours or mine, a Bambuti Pygmy's or a Torres Strait Islander's? I shall
come to the question presently. But first, having raised the analogous
question about the Human Genome Project, I can't just leave it dangling.
Whose genome is chosen for analysis? In the case of the 'official' Human
Genome Project the answer is that, for the low percentage of DNA letters
that vary, the canonical genome is the majority (vote' an1ong a couple of
hundred people chosen to give a good spread of racial diversity. In the
case of the rival project initiated by Dr Craig Venter, the genome ana-
lysed was mostly that of ... Dr Craig Venter. This was announced by the

- Professor Liedenbrock is a passionate and impatient mineralogy professor who teaches at the Johannæum in Hamburg, Germany.
- He has a tendency to get angry during his lectures due to his difficulty pronouncing long scientific words, which often results in him swearing. This amuses the students.
- While he has a bad temper and can be rough in his handling of specimens, he is a very learned man with a deep knowledge of mineralogy and geology.
This book provides a summary and analysis of Jacques Vallee's book "Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact". The book examines the UFO phenomenon through historical cases and explores its relationship to religion, mythology and human experience. It argues that UFOs have interacted with humanity for centuries, often influencing the development of cultures and religions. While UFOs appear to be physical objects, their nature is complex and not fully understood. The book aims to provide a new framework for understanding the phenomenon beyond the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
There's a VERY interesting, fascinating site on the web - http://www.zetatalk.com
Its source is rather controversial (some may argue), but its CONTENT is amazing.
Have you heard about Ice Ages, frozen mammoth's and End of the World predictions? Then throw away all your reference "scientific" books - it is all complete nonsense.
ZetaTalk presents the most comprehensive theory of Geological and recent Climate change I've evere came on.

This document is an excerpt from H.G. Wells' science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. It describes the events leading up to an invasion of Earth by aliens from Mars. Scientists first notice strange atmospheric disturbances on Mars. Then, objects begin falling from the sky and landing near London. One object is unearthed and found to be a huge cylinder-shaped metal vessel, suggesting it was no meteorite but instead a craft from Mars. This leads people to realize that Mars may be inhabited and that the Martians are initiating an attack on Earth.
- Intelligent life on Mars was watching Earth closely and had developed technologies far beyond what humans had. They saw Earth as a resource to exploit as their own planet was dying.
- The Martians began launching missiles at Earth, propelling themselves through space. The first appeared as an eruption of flames on Mars and was spotted by astronomers. It took over 24 hours to reach Earth.
- The narrator stays up late with an astronomer friend observing Mars through a telescope. They see another eruption of flames, indicating another missile had been launched at Earth. The narrator reflects on the immense distance between Mars and Earth and has no idea of the threat approaching.
Jenny Randles - Alien Contact - The First Fifty YearsDirkTheDaring11
In June 1947, American pilot Kenneth Arnold observed a formation of unusual flying objects moving faster than any known aircraft. This sighting sparked widespread reports of "flying saucers" across the United States. In July 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release stating that they had recovered a crashed "flying disc" on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. However, the US government quickly claimed it was merely a weather balloon and insisted all reports of the crashed object be suppressed, fueling speculation of a government cover-up. This became one of the most famous alleged UFO crashes and marked the unofficial beginning of the modern UFO phenomenon.
The New Star Party - Interstellar Vision from 1990's Andrew Hennessey
This document provides an overview of the author's vision for the New Star Party, which aims to advocate for human rights in relation to potential interactions with extraterrestrial civilizations. The author expresses frustration that after many years of UFO discussions and claims of contact, no political movement has formed to address issues like exploitation of humans for the benefit of corporations or governments cooperating with non-humans. The author then outlines their optimistic early 1990s vision for how an advanced interstellar civilization may view and interact with humanity and Earth, including potential economic and cultural exchanges. They raise concerns that human values like capitalism and competition may not be universally shared in the galaxy.
The document discusses how true history is not created through momentous events like battles, natural disasters, elections, or scientific/technological achievements. Rather, it states that true history is created through small, everyday acts of human compassion and connection - whenever one shares their heart with others, acts with a humanitarian spirit, tries to unite people in oneness, or experiences love. These simple human moments of bringing people together are what truly create history, according to the document.

Imagine what Noah's life before the flood must have been like.
Can you picture a man building not just a boat, but an ark big enough to house a large zoo,
on dry land?
Noah must have sacrificed everything he had in this world to accomplish that monumental
task with only his wife, their three sons, and their wives, to help.
And with all the ridicule they doubtless faced, before one drop of rain began to fall, how easy
it might have been for Noah's wife to undermine his every effort and authority, or for their
children to accuse their dad of creating problems for his family.
It's easy for us, with the clarity of 100% "perfect" hindsight, to read the account and suppose
this was all somehow "easy" or that everyone -- including Noah's daughters-in-law -- was
supportive of his "crazy" project.
Just think what their families, and Noah's neighbors, must have thought about it.
Then there doubtless were the troublemakers.
Those noisome "do-gooders" with a jaunticed eye toward others, whose every effort was
doubtless to get the "authorities" involved at every imagined stage, accusing Noah of wife or
child "abuse" perhaps. or of squandering all their earthly resources on his "insane" effort, when
there was "obviously" no need whatever for it.
Meanwhile, Deep In Space...
How could anyone on earth have known what was coming, if they refused to listen to Noah?
Besides, Noah's entire work -- the building of an ark big enough only to hold just his
immediate family and a representative number of every type of land and avian animal --
presupposed that only they would survive.
What kind of ministry was that for an inspired man anyway?
Noah didn't have some big congregation of "true believers" following him.
Nobody listened to anything he had to say!
How were they to know the strange events that were about to develop, as a curious comet
(later to be dubbed the planet Venus) appeared in the skies, like an omen of evil about to
ensue.
1/5
2. If there were astronomers of any talent -- and there were doubtless great and amazing
technological wonders in the world of that age, in which people lived not tens of years, but
hundreds of years on earth; about ten times longer than presently -- they must have gaped in
awestruck wonder as Venus bypassed earth.
Then, when Venus displaced the second planet, throwing it out of its orbit, into its present
location as the fourth planet in our present solar system, while the impact of some large
secondary meteor or cometary fragment on Mars literally blew most of its surface water into
space....
The bulk of that water then invisibly floated, doubtless as frozen ice, in earth's near-future
orbital path, where it would finally deluge the earth for 40 days and nights -- with so much water,
in fact, it covered every hill and mountain and destroyed all life from the planet -- killing all
except Noah and his family, eight people in all, and all the animals other than marine life with
them in the ark.
Misinterpreting the Past
So much water deluged the planet earth, in fact, that it would take the better part of a year for
vast underground caverns and the like to absorb enough of it to uncover dry land once again!
Many of the monumental megalithic stone structures, buildings and even cities of Noah's
pre-flood (Atlantean) age, remain as stark testimony of this epochal event that changed world
history -- many lying still submerged off the coasts of nearly every continent on earth -- from the
Americas to India, Africa, and even Japan.
Deep in the Mediterranean Sea, off the Island of Crete, are the remains of a once
above-ground city, and so it goes everywhere on earth, where entire civilizations once existed
and lived on dry ground, that now lies under many fathoms of water.
Callous and cynical scientists today, thinking the present-day earth is the result of only
painfully slow and steady changes over countless aeons of time, sniff at the very idea of
catrastrophism.
That simply doesn't fit their "evolutionist" world view.
The implications of admitting such evidence, including skeletons of giants once buried under
enormous mounds -- small hills, in fact -- in the Eastern United States, is so mind-shatteringly
unimaginable that it is either ignored entirely, or swiftly and silently concealed and moved,
destroyed or hidden, if possible, and quickly forgotten.
Clever hoaxes were even designed to add incredulity to the likelihood of any claims to the
contrary, while other hoaxes have egged on the mistaken notions of "evolutionary"
development, with nary a shred of any proof for all the intermediary stages that would have to
exist in profuse abundance otherwise.
2/5
3. Still ancient, and more modern, legends and accounts, where some stray bits of evidence still
exist but rarely come to light, yet never in any blatantly public manner, threaten to turn our
"normal" world upside-down and inside-out, should the general populace ever learn of them in
any open or organized fashion.
So the choice most have made, as each new generation largely ignorantly arrogates to itself
the presumption of authority, knowledge beyond our ken, and whimsical "wisdom" which
reinvents history in our own image, is to misinterpret the past and recast it like the work of fiction
it has largely become.
In such a world, where even the words "based on a true story" imply more imaginary and
mythical content than most might care to admit, how else could a factual, truthful and very real
event of history -- such as Noah and the worldwide flood -- be viewed?
A Strange Paradox!
Certainly everyone in Noah's pre-diluvium world thought everything about Noah smacked of
caprice, peculiarity and absurdity, if not criminal mischief.
Nothing in their previous experience could possibly have prepared them for the
earth-shattering events about to unfold to their utter horror; unexpectedly, violently, and fatally!
How much more unlikely is it, in our present day and age, for a truly inspired man -- whose
work likewise foreshadows an ominous and cataclysmic end to our "modern" era of error, and
"civilization" as we know it -- to be seen in a true light, even by his own family or country?
Noah's dilemma must have included convincing his own family -- his wife, children, and his
daughter's-in-law -- about the very real possibility that, unless they all worked and pulled
together to accomplish his strange, costly and apparently "ludicrous" and "crazy" work of
building the ark, they would all likewise perish.
How odd that idea must have seemed, before a single drop of that final rain began to fall; all
the more so as they sealed themselves inside what all the gawkers and onlookers must have
assumed would become their own tomb.
The rest, as they say, was history; unfolding and impacting the world in entirely unforeseen
ways for the incredulous, disbelieving public at large.
Even as the water began to fall as never before, due to doubt and denial and the total lack of
anything like it in their previous experience, nothing could have helped those people understand
what was actually happening.
This must have left all those people, about to perish in that greatest of all past tragedies,
dumbfounded and dazed, stunned and astounded.
What Would You Have Done?
3/5
4. For those who knew of Noah's "folly" -- as it was no doubt broadcast and gossiped about in
every nook and cranny of the pre-debacle world -- it must have been difficult to admit he was
right...
...even as they gasped their last breath of life in the swirling, raging tumult, while desperately
clawing their way to the highest ground they could find nearby.
Perhaps a small glimmer of the truth finally slammed home, in their befuddled brains, as they
sank into the dark, miry depths to their own personal oblivion.
All of which begs the question: If you faced a similar dilemma today, how would you act and
what would you do?
Would you be a steadfast, faithful and trustworthy steward, to prepare in advance for what
nobody else cares to see, acknowledge or admit?
Could you do so even, it need be, despite a swirl of adversity, opposition and manic
accusations?
Or would you be like the gullible, deceived and deluded general public who almost always
belittle, mock and ridicule what they simply refuse to understand?
You Face Just Such a Choice Now!
Yes, you do; no matter what you might believe.
Because you are presently confronted by "Noah's dilemma" in this day and age, and what
you decide to do about it will determine the course of you life or death in the very near future, if
you survive that long.
Are you capable of making the right choice which alone can save you from the swiftly
approaching disaster?
Perhaps it won't happen this year, or next. Maybe not even for a few more decades yet
(depending on when you are reading this).
But sooner than you realize the end of this world age will arrive, in an entirely unanticipated
and novel manner the likes of which only the ancient prophets -- and precious few moderns --
foresaw and urgently warned us about in advance, through their life-consuming writings and
often "tragic" lives.
Will you hear or ignore them?
Are you even capable of saving yourself from this evil age?
Only you can answer that with any certainty (and only your Creator can answer it with any
4/5
5. finality).
I sincerely hope, for your sake, that you can overcome the dilemma of doubt, uncertainty and
fear to grasp hold of the only truth (the pure truth) that can save you from otherwise certain
destruction!Published quarterly... Be sure to check http://ThePureTruthRestored.com regularly
