Pt. 2 As In the Days of Noah...
Jesus said when he returned at the end of the age, the earth would be like what it was in the "Days of Noah." What does that mean? Jesus himself answers the question! Further, we will take a deeper look at what we know about what was going on in the days of Noah from biblical accounts and other historical writings. In this session, we discuss Enoch and the Book of Enoch, the fallen angels, the nephilim, and proof of these from historical sources. What was the pre-flood earth like? Let's find out!

Scriptures: Genesis 5, 6: 1-8 , Hebrews 11:3, 5, Jude 14-15.
Questions:
1. Why do you think the enemy has worked so hard to discredit God as the creator?
2. How are the times of the "days of Noah" similar to our days today? How are they different?
3. Why might evolutionists not want to admit giant skeletons have been found? Why do you think the Smithsonian has covered this up?
4. How does knowing that Enoch wrote a book before the flood change your ideas about what the pre-flood culture was like?
5. Would God approve of human cloning? Why or why not? What might God say about introducing human DNA and body parts into animals?

Pawnee Legend
“While we were in the sandhills, scouting the Niobrara country, the Pawnee Indians brought into camp some very large bones, one of which the surgeon of the expedition pronounced to be the thigh bone of a human being. The Indians said the bones were those of a race of people who long ago had lived in that country. They said these people were three times the size of a man of the present day, that they were so swift and strong that they could run by the side of a buffalo, and, taking the animal in one arm, could tear off a leg and eat it as they ran.
“These giants, said the Indians, denied the existence of a Great Spirit. When they heard the thunder or saw the lightning, they laughed and declared that they were greater than either. This so displeased the Great Spirit that he caused a deluge. The water rose higher and higher till it drove these proud giants from the low grounds to the hills and thence to the mountains. At last even the mountaintops were submerged and the mammoth men were drowned.
“After the flood subsided, the Great Spirit came to the conclusion that he had made men too large and powerful. He therefore corrected his mistake by creating a race of the size and strength of the men of the present day. This is the reason, the Indians told us, that the man of modern times is small and not like the giants of old. The story has been handed down among the Pawnees for generations, but what is its origin no man can say.”
