Ancient stone tablet confirms the historicity of Noah’s Flood -
01-22-2014, 02:16 PM
A recently-deciphered clay tablet confirms that the Genesis account of Noah’s Flood is based on historical fact. According to this article, the "Ark Tablet" tells the story of a Middle-Eastern man who built a big boat to save pairs of animals from a great flood. Doesn’t the similarity to the Genesis account cause the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up?
But the similarities end there. This version of the Flood story was written between 1900 and 1700 BC, or 350-550 years after the event, so it understandably contains many inaccuracies. True, Noah and Shem may still have been alive when this tablet was written, if we consider that Noah lived 350 years and Shem 502 years after the Flood (Gen 9:28; 11:10-11). But God had confused the tongues at Babel (Gen 11:1-9) in 2242 BC to punish the advanced civilization that had rapidly sprung up in the short 106 years since the Flood, so communication would have been a problem. And if you take into account the centuries-long lifespans of the generations immediately after the Flood (Gen 11:12-35), it’s understandable that in time people forgot or misremembered the stories Grandfather Noah had told them. As a result, the Ark Tablet contains a corrupted and frankly unrealistic version of the Flood narrative.
The Babylonian Noah described in the cuneiform tablet was a man named Atra-hasıs, whose god Ekni told him to build a 230-foot wide coracle with sides 20 feet high. Obviously, this presents a problem. A vessel this size would be nowhere near large enough to accommodate a pair of every animal species. We also know that Noah took seven of every clean animal aboard the Ark (Gen 7:2-3), and once the Flood waters had abated, he sacrificed some of each kind (Gen 8:20). If he had taken only two of every clean animal, as the Babylonian account suggests, then his sacrifice would have resulted in the extinction of all clean animals, which in turn would have resulted in the extinction of the Israelites because they would have had no clean animals to eat. But we still have Jews today, and we still have clean animals (just look at the lists in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14), so clearly the Genesis Flood narrative is the right one. Also, if Noah took only two of every kind of land animal, how did carnivorous species survive? If a carnivore ate just one animal, it would drive an entire species to extinction. If didn't eat, its own species would be driven to extinction. Again, the Genesis account is superior.
The very existence of this corrupted version of the Flood narrative confirms that there was in fact a worldwide flood and that the Genesis account of that flood is correct. If there had really been a global flood and everyone on earth was descended from the only family that survived, we would expect the story to survive in legend all over the world. And that's what we find. How else can we explain the existence of a flood legend in two places as far apart as Judah and Babylonia? Sure, the Babylonian version was corrupted. The tale had changed in the telling. But the existence of different versions of the same story, even if they seem to be contradictory, prove that the story is true. Just look at the four Gospels.
You might be wondering how we can be confident that the Genesis version of the Flood narrative is accurate. We believe that around 1500 BC God Himself inspired Moses to write the Genesis Flood account (2 Tim 3:16) so that His people would know what really happened: God was sorry He'd made man (Gen 6:6), so He drowned all the men, women, children and animals in the world (Gen 7:21-22).
| Mt 21:42, 44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Amen, brother! This is the proof that we Bible readers have had for years, and it is now available to everyone!
What is more, this tablet doesn't just prove the authenticity of the flood, it also proves the story of the tower of Babel, because if it were not for God's direct interference at the tower building site, this stone tablet couldn't have gotten the names for Noah and God wrong.
Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

What a relief. In recent years, various things have been found that authenticate Noah's flood but atheists attacked them as not valid.
Now, we have absolute truth of a great flood at the time of Noah.
I don't want to say to atheists, "We told you so."
But, we told you so!!
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

It's always pleasant seeing that the PROOF in the KJV is also mentioned by some other's folklore.
We don't need it, but for those atheists it's like baby JESUS peeing on their soup.

Powerful figures comparing the Titanic to the Ark, Brother Creeser.
Ken Ham has a good idea, building a replica of the Ark and putting it on static display. But, maybe there is a better one.
I've been considering organizing a reality-based voyage with an Ark replica. To make the money part of it work, it would be a TV show.
We would round up all the pairs of animals and insects, ship them to one of the coasts or Great Lakes, load them up and drift for as long as we think would prove that Noah did it.
If anyone else has an interest is such a project, let's talk about it some more.

The proof just keeps piling up. Where are the pencil-necked geeks who run around demanding proof of God? Why, there they are, running around demanding even more proof.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Brother Pim, as anyone with an extensive family knows, the best stories get told again and again and again, and sometimes the details get a little mixed up. Of course this doesn't prove the events never happened, just that people are imperfect in their accounting of history. Why, I remember one time when my grandmother told us of the day she, as a child, had run into the very first negro child she'd ever seen. While that child was talking with my grandmother's brothers, she walked around behind it. My grandmother, never having seen an afro, lightly touched its head. The child just about jumped out of its skin! But my grandmother had satisfied her curiosity - this child did indeed have hair that was woollier than a sheep and it wasn't a wig (as was confirmed when she tried to pull it off). Of course my cousin tells the story a little differently (including a hard candy that gets caught in the negroidal hair, and a fist fight or some such silliness). Anyway, these are just normal occurrences among families, and surely Noah's family was no different.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

If any atheists try to deny the great flood, they can easily be proven wrong to their satisfaction. Stories of it abound in all corners of the world - Mesopotamia (Gilgamesh relates how an ark was built to save the people and animals), Babylon, India (another ark), Greece (Plato talks of yet another ark), even places as far away as Finland and China. Just google 'great flood'. Clearly it was all the one flood, and clearly all the arks were one ark - Noah's Ark. And the details changed slightly through Chinese whispers and incorporated into the heathen's folklore.

Now i start to wonder if the "wild beasts" included in the ark concerned gooks, hindoos, goons and all the others...(for I can, stretching as far as I can, accept iraqis as noah's descendants... but australian aborigines? pygmies?)

Indeed. When it comes to variations of stories in the Bible, I use the following rule of thumb: If the variation predates the Biblical account, then it is independent verification that the event described in the Bible actually occurred; but if the variation postdates the Biblical account, then it was obviously plagiarized from the Bible. If, however, the variation occurs within the Bible, such as four Gospel accounts or the two accounts of towns gone gay (Gen 19; Jdg 19), then it is either verification of the truth through two or three witnesses (2 Cor 13:1 -- three witnesses apparently includes one witness saying the same thing three times), as is the case with the Gospels, or they are unrelated events, as is the case with the two accounts of attempted homosexual gang rape.
But we Christians can be confident that the Bible contains the purest, most accurate version of the Flood narrative. For Moses, when he wrote Genesis, did not base his account on preexisting myths. No; the Holy Spirit revealed to him directly the story of Noah's Flood, and He knows better than even Noah himself what really happened. So it doesn't matter that Moses was writing at an even further-removed date from the original event than the writer of the Ark Tablet. Moses in turn wrote down in Hebrew what the Holy Spirit had communicated to him. The books of Moses were in turn copied many times. Finally in 1611 Moses' work was translated into English, uncorrupted and perfectly preserved (Ps 12:6-7). Praise the Lord!

I it is important to remember that all those fairy tales you mention are simply copies of Bible facts.
Think about the time line involved: by definition those floods have to be locale floods that Bronze Age primitives just assumed were world wide.
Clearly different from the Noachian Flood.

I live here in Texas, far from civilization and among city Mexicans, all of whom are on some kind of Democrat government dole or another. Every hill in these parts is limestone and contains the remains of the marine creatures that flourished during the great flood.
The Gulf of Mexico is 150 miles away, but it's fishes and shell fish abound in these parts. How else could they have gotten here but in the time of Noah, when all the world was awash?
I, for one, and all other Christians need no proof, as it is all around us and in the scriptures. Perhaps this new news will help to break through the wall of satanic ignorance that surrounds the unsaved and help to bring a few of them to Jesus. We can only pray for it.
God Bless!
