The fountains of the great deep.

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. ‘

God intended to completely wipe sin from the earth. Noah was a man who did everything that God commanded him so he wasn’t included in the Deluge. However, God’s plan was to destroy all those who had chosen self indulgence rather than self denial and this was the way that God effected His plan. If we have rain for a few hours we can expect flash flooding, if there is rain for a few weeks then there is large scale flooding, in this case there was rain for forty days and forty nights. This led to a huge flood. We read in the first chapter of Genesis (v1), “An God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament and it was so.” When the Flood came this division was destroyed and the fountains of the great deep were opened, there was no longer any dividing force keeping the waters of the great deep from invading the earth and they came forth with vengeance from the Lord, in this way the entire earth was flooded. Before the Flood there was one continent because the waters under the heaven were gathered into one place so that there was one body of water and one body of land. After the Flood the land was broken up and began to drift slowly upon the deep. Thus the modern continents, mountains and valleys were formed and the earth became unstable as they shifted. At the edge of the great plates on the surface of the earth, both above and under the oceans, we find the “rings of fire” where the fire under the earth seeks to find release. Everything that we study today and can prove empirically can be explained by reading the Bible and applying it.
