Matthew 24 210
(24:38,39 continued)
today, did not exist until after the Flood when
“the mountains arose and the valleys sank
down” (Psalm 104:5–9; Genesis 8:3–8).
16. There is enough water in the oceans right
now to cover the earth 8,000 feet deep if the
surface of the earth were smooth.
17. Many claim to have seen the ark in recent
times in the area in which the Bible says it
landed. There are two primary schools of
thought about the actual site of the ark. Much
energy and time have been expended to
prove both views. Some believe the ark is on
Mt. Ararat, covered by snow (CBS showed a
one-hour special in 1993 about this site).
Others believe the ark is seventeen miles south
of Mt. Ararat in a valley called “the valley of
eight” (eight souls on the ark). The Bible says
the ark landed in the “mountains” of Ararat,
not necessarily on the mountain itself.
18. The continents were not separated until
100–300 years after the Flood (Genesis 10:25).
The people and animals had time to migrate
anywhere on earth by then.
19. The top 3,000 feet of Mt. Everest (26,000
–29,000 feet) is made up of sedimentary rock
packed with seashells and other oceandwelling
animals.
20. Sedimentary rock is found all over the
world. Sedimentary rock is formed in water.
21. Petrified clams in the closed position (found
all over the world) testify to their rapid burial
while they were still alive, even on top of
Mount Everest.
22. Bent rock layers, fossil graveyards, and
polystrata fossils are best explained by a Flood.
23. People choose to not believe in the Flood
because it speaks of the judgment of God on
sin (2 Peter 3:3–8).
coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the
one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the
mill; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
42 Watch therefore: for you know not
what hour your Lord does come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman
of the house had known in what watch
the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be also ready: for in such
an hour as you think not the Son of man
comes.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord has made ruler over
his household, to give them meat in due
season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord
when he comes shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say to you, That he shall make
him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say
in his heart, My lord delays his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come
in a day when he looks not for him, and
in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint
him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.

CHAPTER 25
HEN shall the kingdom of heaven be
likened to ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five
were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps,
and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all
slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the bridegroom comes; go out to
meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and
trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give
us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so;
