"The Deluge"

"The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever." (Psalms 29:10) I could have went on with that last verse for several more days, but I decided I needed to move on, since this Psalm might just be about a lightning storm after all. And then again, what we have before us today is something very very interesting, which is a punch in the face of all those that like the theory of evolution. Many people that like to believe in the theory of evolution and that also believe in the Bible, (as if that makes any sense), will try and explain away 'The Flood' as something that just happened in one region of the world, and that it was not a worldwide flood; this they do as to continue to accept the ever-changing longevity of the process needed for life to evolve, while at the same time accept that all certain forms of life were whipped out by 'The Flood'. Now, according to my Bible, Noah's flood submerged the entire earth with water for about an entire year; and even if it might have taken place within a certain region, how possible is it that water could get as high as needed to put the ark on the mountains of Ararat, and yet not flood the entire earth? Genesis 7:19-24 gives a pretty exclusive account of not only how high the waters were, but that "All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, and all that was in the dry land died"(verse 22); last I checked, All pretty much means "ALL". And just in case you might overlook that point, God clarifies His statement written through Moses, by saying, "And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark"(verse 23). So then, what do you say to that! There really needs to be some consistency in what you believe! Either you believe the Bible or you don't; but you cannot take out portions here and there to make the Bible adjustable to what you believe or how you want to believe. Yet, there will always be those that will try and determine which Scriptures are relevant to be taken literally, which are an allegory, and which are not to be taken literally; but be careful that you do not fall into their trap, because God's Word does not change, neither does in adjust to our beliefs; God's Word is for ever. The test is in the word "sitteth", which is speaking of several different things, but all of which are consistent to God's order and His judgement: GOD REMAINS!!! "From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." (Galatians 6:17)
