But what did the Word (John 1:1) say? Shouldn't we let Him decide this?Nice. So you want to jam that all together without recognizing that there is new paragraph. Let me help you.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Genesis 7
11 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.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Noah was 600 years old plus 2 months plus 17 days when the flood came on the earth.
NEW PARAGRAPH.
¶
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
Noah, his family and all the animals entered the ark on the self same day. That means they entered in one day. The very day they were told to enter.
Not a chance. The fountains of the deep broke open when Noah was 600 years old plus 2 months plus 17 days.
Read what the Word says.
Genesis 7
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Jesus Himself indicated that the flood came the same day that Noah entered the ark. You should agree with Him. Unless you want to believe that people inexplicably stopped eating and drinking 6 days before the flood came! Which would mean most people would have already been dead or dying even before the flood came. That's the kind of ridiculous conclusion you are forced to come to with your doctrine.
And then you ignore how Jesus also talked about God's wrath coming on the same day that Lot was taken out of Sodom. Somehow, you decide not to relate that to the rapture. How convenient.
