EVIDENCE FOR THE WORLDWIDE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY AND A YOUNG EARTH

Posted on by

Hugh Ross is trying to rewrite the biblical account of the flood. In this episode of Answers News, the hosts, Bryan Osborne, Avery Foley, and Dr. Terry Mortenson, share their perspectives on this topic as Bible-believing Christians.

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ effectively.

‘Progressive creationists’ like Dr Hugh Ross,2 who insist on interpreting Genesis in the light of man’s theories like the ‘big bang’, and the supposed ‘proof’ of an old earth (billions of years), insist that those who teach a young earth and literal Genesis 1–11 are the ones putting a stumbling block in the way of scientists and others accepting the Gospel message. However, time and time again, we have found that the opposite is true. Compromising Genesis with man’s ideas from outside of Scripture opens the door to this ‘slippery slide of unbelief’. It becomes a major stumbling block to people being receptive to God’s Word and the Gospel. Unbelievers are generally unimpressed when they see Christians clearly evading the obvious meaning of the beginning of God’s Word.

Your faith will be strengthened by listening to Dr Terry Mortenson defend a young earth by presenting the evidence for Noah’s worldwide flood and the billions of dead things buried all over the world including fossil fuels formed from all the vegetation that was buried.

It is important to remember that Jesus spoke of Noah’s flood when he was telling His disciples about His second coming to earth. He believed that Noah’s flood was worldwide killing all but the eight people on the Ark.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:36-39

Moreover, many of the things Jesus said would occur at this time have played out already exactly as He said they would. After Jesus return to earth to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon, His Millennial Kingdom is next on God’s agenda for planet earth.

ISRAEL’S FUTURE: THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

Posted on by

“Jacob’s Trouble” (also called “the time of Jacob’s trouble”) is a specific biblical phrase found in Jeremiah 30:7:

“Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” (NKJV)

Biblical Context

The entire chapter of Jeremiah 30 is a prophecy of hope given to Israel and Judah during their exile in Babylon. God promises:

  • To restore them from captivity
  • To break the yoke of foreign oppression
  • To bring them back to their land under their own king (ultimately fulfilled in the Messiah)
  • To heal and prosper them again

However, before this full restoration comes, Israel (referred to here as “Jacob,” using the patriarch’s original name) will go through an unprecedented period of suffering and distress.

Key Characteristics of “Jacob’s Trouble”

  1. Uniqueness and Severity
    • “That day is great, so that none is like it” (Jeremiah 30:7) – it is unparalleled in history.
    • Jesus quotes similar language in the Olivet Discourse: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21), linking the two passages.
  2. Focused on Israel/Jacob
    • The trouble is specifically called “Jacob’s” (not the church’s or the world’s in general), indicating it primarily affects the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
    • Other Old Testament passages describe the same period using different names:
      • “The indignation” (Isaiah 26:20; Daniel 11:36)
      • “The time of trouble” (Daniel 12:1)
      • “The day of the Lord”
      • “The seventieth week of Daniel” (Daniel 9:27)
      • “The great tribulation” (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14)
  3. Deliverance at the End
    • Jeremiah 30:7 ends with hope: “…but he [Jacob/Israel] shall be saved out of it.”
    • Daniel 12:1 says Michael the archangel will stand up for Israel, and “at that time your people shall be delivered.”
    • Zechariah 13–14 and Romans 11:25–29 describe Israel’s national repentance and acceptance of the Messiah at the end of this period.

In short, “Jacob’s Trouble” is widely understood in prophetic studies as the Bible’s term for an unparalleled future time of distress centred on the Jewish people, out of which God will ultimately deliver and restore a repentant Israel when the Messiah returns and establishes His Millennial Kingdom

The Bible reveals this Earth’s history is young, not billions of years old as the theory of evolution would lead us to believe. Despite there being billions of dead things buried whole throughout the world, which must have been buried quickly to be whole, as well, enormous amounts of fossil fuels formed from buried vegetation, the scientists of the world deny the Biblical flood of Noah’s day, because it does not align with their naturalist view of the world forming itself over billions of years. The Bible reveals that Noah’s flood was a catastrophic event that changed the entire geomorphology of the planet.

Biblical history reveals that Satan has had 6,000 years to rule over the Earth. Jesus will soon have 1,000 years to rule and reign with the glorified Saints, Satan and I assume his demons are bound during Jesus reign

“And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.” Revelation 20:2-3

Nevertheless, we are told Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron during the Millennium as the curse is only partially lifted, mainly in Israel, so people are still being born, still sin, and die. Moreover, at the end of the Millennium, Satan is released and he still raises an army like the sand of the sea.

“And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them.” Revelation 20:7-9

Even with Jesus and the glorified Saints being on earth people will still rebel and like Satan and the demons will want to be God of their world. For more on Jesus Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

Finally, after 7,000 years, this Earth’s history is complete and God destroys the Earth with fire, The second resurrection of the dead takes place before Jesus White Throne judgement. Only after the White Throne judgement does the apostle John see a magnificent and enormous new Jerusalem descending from a new heaven onto a new earth where only the righteous dwell with both our heavenly Father and Jesus.

APOSTASY: LIBERAL PROTESTANT CHURCHES PROCLAIM ‘HOLINESS’ OF TRANSGENDERISM

Posted on by

Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) President, the Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, is joining nine other heads of diverse religious traditions in issuing a landmark statement proclaiming that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are “holy and whole“, worthy of love, support, and protection.

The statement is also signed by Barry Crossno, General Secretary of the Friends General Conference; The Rev. Elder Cecilia Eggleston, Moderator of Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC); Presiding Prelate Yvette A. Flunder of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM); Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of Union for Reform Judaism; The Rev. Jihyun Oh, Stated Clerk and Executive Director of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); The Rev. Teresa “Terri” Hord Owens, General Minister and President of Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada; The Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson, General Minister and President/CEO of the United Church of Christ (UCC); Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D., President and CEO of Reconstructing Judaism; and The Episcopal Church. It also includes additional information from signers explaining the basis of support from their traditions.

“During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender – a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole,” says the statement, which is directed to the American public, political leaders, and moral teachers.

Mind you they don’t believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and that God made two genders, male and female, and that family consists of a male joining with a female for life (become one flesh) to produce children which they care for and raise to adulthood.

The statement dated November 12th, 2025 acknowledges that while the signers may come from different religious traditions, they share a common concern in protecting those experiencing persecution. “Our scriptures vary, but they share a common conviction. As we make justice our aim we must give voice to those who are silenced. Our shared values, held across many faiths, teach us that we are all children of God and that we must cultivate a discipline of hope, especially in difficult times. As such, we raise our voices in solidarity to unequivocally proclaim the holiness of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, as well as the recognition of the entire spectrum of gender identity and expression,” the statement says..

A major end times sign is apostasy in the church. Never before has God’s church rejected His Word as many denominations have today. We are fast approaching Jesus second coming which is a time of tribulation which escalates into great tribulation prior to the rapture of the church and the outpouring of God’s wrath at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal. It is at the sixth seal that we see the celestial signs that precede the rapture and the outpouring of God’s wrath upon an unrepentant world.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, … For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:12, 17

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Are you preparing for serving with Jesus during this transition time when Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron?

AMERICAN STATS ON GOD’S WORD

Posted on by

An overwhelming majority of practicing Christians (88%) — those who say they are Christian, attend church at least once a month and consider their faith “very important” in their lives — believe in the total accuracy of the Bible, while 4% did not and the rest were unsure. 

I am pleasantly surprised at this percentage (88%) of practicing American Christians holding to the inerrancy of the Bible.

A not so good percentage is when 2,656 American adults were surveyed 36% of respondents answered in the affirmative to the accuracy of the Bible, while 39% disagreed. Prior to the teaching of evolution in schools and universities as fact the % was much higher.

Of interest, about 45% of casual Christians, those who go to church at least once a month but do not consider their faith “very important,” characterized the Bible as totally accurate, while 23% took the opposite view. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians (70%) did not agree that the Bible is totally accurate, while 12% embraced the opposite position.

John Farquhar Plake, chief innovation officer at the American Bible Society and editor-in-chief of the State of the Bible series said: “Our latest survey finds a mixture of belief and questioning in the American public,” Plake added. “It’s true that nearly one in five Americans think the Bible was written to control and manipulate, but twice that many trust the Bible as ‘totally accurate in all the principles it presents.‘”

A total of just over one-sixth (17%) of those surveyed reported having “no trust” in religion, with higher percentages expressing “no trust” in the government (22%) and the media (29%). Meanwhile, much smaller shares of Americans told pollsters they had “no trust” in families (3%), medicine (5%) and education (5%). 

STANDING ON THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD

Posted on by

Barna Group’s recent research reveals: only 4% of American adults and 6% of professing Christians hold a biblical worldview. Nearly half of American adults don’t believe the Bible is literally true — that is, according to a recent study highlighted by The Christian Post. The Ligonier State of Theology 2025 report, a separate study conducted by Lifeway Research, found a collective 48% of Americans believe “the Bible, like all sacred writings, contains helpful accounts of ancient myths but is not literally true.” Similarly, 44% reject that “the Bible is 100% accurate in all that it teaches.”

The State of Theology study revealed alarming trends: 47% of evangelicals believe God accepts the worship of all religions, 53% assert that most people are inherently good despite sinning occasionally, and 49% of U.S. adults view Jesus as a great teacher but not God. These findings, as Hibbs and Perkins emphasized, directly contradict biblical teachings, raising concerns about the doctrinal fidelity of many churches.

This should not come as a surprise as most church denominations have accepted gay marriage, homosexual pastors and even transgenderism. 

The Bible is God’s voice, His truth, alive and active. Every passion you’re wrestling with, every opinion you hold, Scripture speaks to it, directly or indirectly. Throw out any topic, and the Bible has the final say. It’s the lens that makes sense of everything. Every worldview outside the Bible crumbles under scrutiny. Only Scripture unveils who God is, what’s broken in the world, who we are, and where we’re headed. It’s the only lens that makes sense of a chaotic world.

When skeptics reject the Bible as God’s inspired, authoritative word, they’re left chasing fleeting wisdom from the “universe” — or worse, themselves — and they always come up empty.

I challenge you to find one person who’s genuinely content — not just pretending to be — and unshaken by life’s uncertainties, without a flicker of longing for something greater. I’ve yet to meet an unbeliever who isn’t, knowingly or not, trying to fill a God-shaped void with something, because we simply weren’t created from nothing, for nothing, only to die and fade back into nothing.

Dr. George Barna nailed it: “Understanding God — often referred to as ‘prime reality’ — is the cornerstone of worldview development. Without a biblical understanding of God, it is difficult to develop a coherent biblical worldview built on His truth.” There’s a simple truth we, as believers, must never forget: it’s not ultimately up to us to change minds and unharden hearts. Only God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, carries that ability. It’s easy to feel like a failure if a single conversation doesn’t spark a conversion, but that’s not the case.

I’ll tell you where we’ve failed. We fail when we water down Scripture to appease skeptics. We fail when we stop quoting God’s word because it’s “unwelcome.” We fail when we dodge the hard truths — sin, Christ’s cross, repentance — to avoid ruffling feathers. We fail when fear of rejection or uncertainty silences our witness, or when cynicism tricks us into thinking humanity’s hope lies in ourselves, not in Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

If you’re a Christ-follower reading this, I pray it causes you to re-examine your own life. Do you shy away from tough talks? Do you let skeptics dictate what you can or cannot say? Or do you stand bold in biblical conviction? Do doubts shake you, or do you anchor yourself in Christ?

We are all called to trust and obey. Trust that “the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say” (Luke 12:12). Trust that God’s grace is enough, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Trust that “God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Trust Psalm 118:6: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Because “if God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).

Then, with these promises written on your heart, obey Christ’s call in Matthew 28:19 to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Obey Ephesians 4:15’s charge to “speak truth in love.” Trusting in God’s faithfulness, obey the call to be salt and light, even when the world mocks us for it.

THE GOSPELS DON’T DISAGREE

Posted on by

Is Jesus family tree accurately predicted in the Bible? Matthew and Luke give different accounts. Why? Matthews list is not a genealogy. It is a list of kings which are not necessarily father/son relationships. The explanation is not simple but the complexity is so astounding that you know it is the truth and that the Bible is the revealed word of God.

Dr Robert Carter is an expert on human genetics and I have used his publications to unsettle many evolutionists. As Dr Carter points out from the results of the ENCODE project, the world has been given a glimpse inside the most sophisticated computer operating system in the known universe – the human genome. It could not have evolved. Whilst the gospels is not his area of study the way he tackles the Gospel’s problem is impressive and worth watching.

Let me know what you think.

CONFIRMATION WE ARE IN THE BIBLICAL END TIMES

Posted on by

Fuller Seminary is a well-known theological school with campuses in California, Texas, and Arizona, and it advertises itself as an evangelical graduate institution with “roots in orthodoxy.” Well, recently, the Fuller Seminary president, in a letter about LGBTQ issues, stated:

After several years of consultation, feedback, and dialogue, the Board of Trustees reconfirmed the institution’s commitment to its historic theological understanding of marriage and human sexuality—a union between a man and a woman and sexual intimacy within the context of that union. At the same time, we acknowledge that faithful Christians—through prayerful study, spiritual discernment, and lived experience—have come to affirm other covenantal forms of relationship.

It took several years of “consultation, feedback, and dialogue” to make a statement on marriage and human sexuality when all they had was to read and believe God’s Word:

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27

“Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.” Genesis 2:24–25

And see the words of Jesus Christ as the God-man when asked about marriage:

“He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?” Matthew 19:4–5

Since God created marriage, he defines what it is—and it is one man for one woman.

Many seminaries, Bible colleges, Christian colleges and universities, and churches today, rather than fearing God, fear man and try to appease everyone (and in the process, they appease no one and certainly don’t please the Lord!).

These so-called Biblical institutions do not understand where we are on the Biblical timetable, yet there are two thousand Biblical prophecies related to Jesus’ second coming. Most have been fulfilled or are being fulfilled in our day.

Just like the religious leaders of Jesus’ first coming to Earth did not get it, despite three hundred Biblical prophecies forecasting it, the religious leaders of our day are also blind to the truth of His second coming.

We need to take a bold stand on God’s Word beginning in Genesis, challenge these seminaries, Bible colleges, Christian colleges, universities, churches, and culture, and not bend our stand on God’s Word to fit with the culture and compromise Christians. We must make the most of these last days to ensure we complete the work God has prepared for us to do.

PHARAOH’S CHARIOT WHEELS DISCOVERED

Posted on by

When a team of modern salvage divers recently plunged into the Red Sea, they weren’t chasing treasure. They were chasing a mystery nearly 50 years old – a legend that the chariot wheels that once belonged to a Pharaoh lay buried beneath the waves. What they found left them stunned. Scattered across the seabed were shocking discoveries of remains of chariots and many human bones that would confirm a Biblical story that a lot of people have dismissed as fiction. But here’s the thing: what the divers saw suggests that something shocking happened in the Red Sea, confirming the Biblical Exodus story.

This confirms what Ron Wyatt reported many years before. I met Ron Wyatt when I was Chairman of Ark Search, and Dr Alan Roberts of Australia was working with Ron Wyatt on a search for Noah’s Ark. Sadly, that search ended in failure; however, an article by Ken Griffiths and Darryl K White in the Journal of Creation, Volume 35, Issue 3, 2021, shows a credible site for Noah’s Ark on the Mountain Karaca Dag in Turkey.

While researching a Babel candidate site near Diyarbakir, Turkey, on 3 October 2019, they found a complex of sites on the mountain Karaca Dag that, upon further examination, seem to match the description of the landing site of Noah’s Ark, along with a tomb, possible altar, and much more. The tomb is a 60-m-square, rough stone mastaba, oriented to the winter solstice sunrise, with two extensions that make it into roughly a 160-m-long boat shape. The site is marked by six or more geoglyphs, situated along an arc 5 km distant on the northwest side of the mountain. The possible remains of the Ark appear to have had a modern school built on them, now collapsed.

We would expect to find the landing site of the Ark near the centre of the oldest post-diluvial distribution of humans and domesticated plants. The site presented in this paper lies upon a mountain between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers at the centre of the Pre‑Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) Culture.

MORE EVIDENCE CONFIRMS DINOSAURS BURIED IN NOAH’S FLOOD ABOUT 4000 YEARS AGO

Posted on by

In 2005 the first popularized find of dinosaur soft tissue rocked the scientific world, and many refused to believe it was real, despite the evidence, because “soft tissue can’t last that long.” But subsequent studies, including a brand-new one, have confirmed that, yes, the soft tissue is original to the fossil.

In this new study, researchers used advanced mass spectrometry and protein sequencing to detect bone collagen in a well-preserved hip bone from an Edmontosaurus uncovered in the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. This unexpected find is encouraging other researchers to pull fossils out of storage and look at them with these new technologies. And why? The experts hope they will uncover the biochemical pathways that enabled the preservation of organic compounds over millions of years. How these proteins could remain for millions of years is a big mystery. Evolutionists try as they might, have yet to be able to present a plausible explanation for the existence of soft tissue in supposedly ancient fossils.

A better interpretation starts with God’s Word. The fossils aren’t millions of years old—they are only about 4,350 years old. They are a stark reminder of God’s judgment on a sin-filled world but also of his mercy in preserving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of land animal (seven pairs of some) onboard the ark.

SO CALLED CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING COMPANIES

Posted on by

Zondervan Publishing has just released a new study Bible, The Upside-Down Kingdom Bible, with notes, essays, and book introductions that, according to the Amazon listing, feature “a diverse set of trusted Christian voices and explores difficult issues facing Christians today, with features that are honest, nuanced, and filled with grace.”

Should Christians use this study Bible?

Rather than showing how God’s Word is unique, giving us a set of glasses through which to view the world that is “upside down” to the world’s way of thinking, the writers take the world’s lenses of feminism, Marxism, evolution, and CRT and read the Bible through them.

Many of the notes I read were sprinkled with references to man-made climate change, terms like “forced migration experiences” and “systemic injustice.” From what I saw, these terms weren’t really defined, but all such terms are routinely used by “woke” and progressive Christians the same way the world uses them, so I think it’s safe to assume that the world’s definition is how they’re likewise being used here.

Also, this study Bible is supposed to be “nuanced,” and it certainly is. It’s so “squishy” on most controversial topics (but not certain “woke” ones—on some of those, the authors took obvious positions) that the notes lose any authority, turning into, “some people say this, and some people say that, but we can’t really know.” But in many cases, we can really know. For example, in Genesis, we can know how and when God created! We know He created male and female and established marriage and family as the basis of society. Homosexuality and transgenderism are abominations to Him.

Hence, this Upside Down Kingdom Bible from what was once a trusted Christian publishing company is just another end-times sign. The fact that Zondervan was acquired by Harper and Row, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, may explain their departure from believing the Bible is inerrant.
