{Flashback} The 8 Global Kingdoms of the Earth -- Antediluvian [Preflood]
Civilizations - {The pre-flood civilization up until the days of Noah
encompassed about 2,000 years of human history and probably
involved several billion people. - Note: In the pre-flood earth it doesn't
appear that there were any Kings or Governments and that the long
lives [experience and expertise] of each individual precluded them
from being reigned and ruled over by others. Instead of a governmental
structure of Kings and Politicians the earth seemed to have been
Governed strictly by each family patriarch (head) according to God's
governance and that after the flood in the new, young and now naive
post-flood civilization the inexperienced human civilization now
required [and allowed strangers - nonfamily members] rulers and Kings
and that Nimrod was possibly the first King though human history had
existed for some 2,000 years before Nimrod. - Also Note: Jesus is not a
stranger but He is family with everyone and as family He has our own
individual best interest at His heart. Jesus is the kinsman (relative -
related) redeemer to everyone [we are created in God's image -
relationship] and His (Fatherly, creation - Brotherly, redemption and
salvation) relationship to all humans is maintained via His Virgin
(Divine) birth.}
Introduction: "'Antediluvian civilizations'" are civilizations believed to have existed before the Great flood of Noah.
If the fossil record is indeed the result of the Biblical flood as described in the Bible, then it is somewhat expected
for evidence of antediluvian (pre-flood) civilizations to exist. It is assumed by many that humans reached advanced
stages of technological development before the flood. Such presuppositions are usually based on the Biblical
genealogy, which states that ancient people lived to approximately 10 times our current life span. Also it is
frequently mentioned that Adam and Eve would likely possess higher than normal intelligence since they were
created as adults, with knowledge that subsequent humans obtain from their parents. Another theory states that the
antediluvian race called the Nephilim was superior to other humans in this respect. All accounts of the Great flood
from civilizations around the world indicate that there were civilizations before the flood. However, as a result of
the destruction during the flood and the passage of time, the remaining evidence is scanty. As a result of the flood,
the earth was covered in hundreds of feet of sediment, and very little of the antediluvian horizon has been exposed.
It is also problematic that the scientific community is quick to dismiss any artifacts that dispute their presupposed
interpretation of the fossil record. Nevertheless, any truly advanced civilization would have left durable traces or
constructions that would likely surface during excavations or by erosion. Relatively insightful accounts can be
drawn from the Bible, apocrypha, and ancient Babylonian and Greek accounts of antediluvian civilization. ...
Implications of the Tower of Babel: We can not dispute the existence of atypical knowledge possessed by Adam
and Eve, however, we should also consider the tower of Babel curse as it relates to human accomplishments to that
date. Monumental constructions are a great source of pride for humans. It was most likely this type of technological
development that God attempted to retard by creating the language barriers at the tower of Babel. The Babel event
suggests that the tower was the first major monument that mankind had ever built. It was the first construction that
