PART TWONo Flood ... ??By Pastor F. M. Riley
November 20, 2017"For, behold, the dav cometh. that shall burn as an oven; and all
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the
day that cometh shall leave them neither root nor branch," Malachi
4:1.IntroductionIn the previous study on this subject, the study ended with all of the
excess water on the earth from the flood in "the days of Noah, I' frozen
in the ice caps at the North and South poles of the earth; the Arctic and
Antarctic.However, I clearly stated in that study that the Lord God is not
through using that excess water presently frozen in the ice caps. The
ice caps for the past 4300 years have served as merely temporary
storage for all of the excess water left over from the flood.So what are the Lord God's plans for all of this excess water in the
future? The future seven year Tribulation period, which is right now
staring mankind in the face? Let's just seriously study God's Word andsee if our gracious Lord God will reveal the answer to this question .WARNING .If the reader has a queasy stomach, then read nofurther, for some of the prophetic information which follows will not be
pleasant reading.· But if the reader really wants to know what is
coming, in order to warn their own lost loved ones, or other lost seekingsouls, then read on .What's Coming Next?Almost all of our readers are familiar with the approach of Planet X
into earth's solar system. Some have scoffed at this "Planet X
nonsense." However, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself plainly stated in
Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, [pass by; go past;
fly past] but My words shall not pass away." I have personally seen
Planet X with my own eyes, and it is nota figment of some man's1
imagination. Even as I write Planet X is still approaching the earth in
our solar system. And when it comes flying past, very close to the
earth, what will be the result?The astronomers have already stated that the clash of the electro-
magnetic fields of the earth and Planet X, as the two planets are passing,
will cause great earthquakes and tsunamis on the earth. Now isn't that
a "coincidence?" This is exactly what the Lord Himself predicted would
occur in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, and Luke 21:11. Notice that in the
passage in Luke, the Lord specifically connected the earthquakes with
"fearful sights and great signs ..... from heaven." Hello!And When Will This Occur?Such "signs" in the heavens have been occurring for several months,
but they will increase in frequency and intensity as time passes. It is my
conviction that Planet X will likely come flying past the earth just as this
present Dispensation of Grace is ending, and the Tribulation period is
beginning. The Lord Jesus plainly said twice, in both Matthew 24:7 and
Mark 13:8, that these "signs" are "the beginning of sorrows. " There is
no question in my mind, that the "sorrows" the Lord was referring to is
the seven year Tribulation period on the earth.How Bad Will It Become?When Planet X comes flying past the earth, the entire earth will be
shaken with what one might call a world wide earthquake. And the
entire earth will be moved out of it's present orbit in the solar system.
Proof? Gladly!In Isaiah 13:9 the inspired Word says, "Behold, the day of the Lord
cometh, [the Tribulation] cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to
lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of
it." N ow carefully study the remainder of the chapter, but pay special
attention to verse 13. Here is what Isaiah was inspired of God to write,
"Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out
of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of His
fierce anger." This same truth is repeated a second time in Isaiah
24:17-19.When this prophecy is fulfilled, the whole earth will shake as modern
man has never seen it shake previously. And during this time of
shaking, the whole earth will be moved out of it's present orbit in the
solar system.A New Orbit For The Earth2
And where will the earth be moved to? And why will the Lord God
move it? Good questions, and there are Scriptural answers. The earth
will be moved closer to the Sun in order to fulfill the prophecy set forth
in our textScripture in Malachi 4:1; " ... the day cometh, that shall burn
as an oven ..... " Proof? Gladly!Look at Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as
the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of
His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound." Folks, believe
this statement as literal truth! God's Word does not lie!When the earth is moved out of it's present orbit, it will be moved
closer to the Sun, so that the light [and heat] from the Sun will be
increased as the light of seven days. Isaiah was even inspired to say
that the light of the moon shining upon the earth at night will be like the
light [and heat] of the sun presently shining on the earth.Folks, in the deserts on the earth today, during the summer season,
there are places where the temperature reaches 120 to 130 degrees.
And during the summer, many places all over the earth experience a
temperatures of 100 degrees or more. Now multiply these figures by
seven, and see what kind of temperatures will exist on earth during the
coming Tribulation period. Water boils at 140 degrees, far below the
temperatures that will exist on the earth at that time. Rather, try 700 to
800 degrees, "as the light of seven days," Isaiah 30:26.Some of our readers may be thinking right now that such
temperatures on the earth, just could not possibly happen, for mankind
would not be able to survive. Oh, is that so!Well, the old patriarch, Job, was inspired of God thousands of years
ago to write of a future time when the waters in the "deep" would "boil
like a pot," and the "the sea like a pot of ointment," Job 41:31. The
Hebrew word translated as "deep" in this Scripture is referring to the
deepest parts of the seas or oceans. See Strong's No. 4688. Then there
is also the passage in Isaiah 64:2, in which Isaiah was inspired to say
that "the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make Thy name known to
Thy adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Thy presence. "So here are DNa inspired passages in God's Word that explicitly state
that the waters of the oceans and seas are going to be caused to "boil"
because of the tremendous heat on the earth during the coming
Tribulation period. The waters on the land in lakes, rivers, and streams,3
will likely completely dry up.The temperatures will be so hot, that for a person to merely step out
into the heat of the Sun during the day, will result in them suffering a
heatstroke within minutes or even seconds. The heat from the Sun will
no longer be dangerous, it will be deadly.Every living thing on earth will be effected by such light and heat. All
of the vegetation on the earth will shrivel and die! The trees and forests
on the earth will dry up and likely will burn! Compare Revelation 8:1-
13. Under such heat many houses and buildings will begin to smolder
until they become so hot, they will suddenly just burst into flame.People left behind on the earth at that time will literally abandon
their homes and businesses in the towns and cities, and flee to the
mountains. Read Isaiah 5:9. The Bible clearly speaks of the
destruction of the cities on the earth. Read it for yourself in Zephaniah
3:6 and Revelation 16:19. Whether some want to believe it or not,
mankind's boasted technology is going right down the tubes during this
time of blistering heat.Some of our readers right now may be thinking that this is
impossible; that it just cannot be true or happen, for mankind could not
survive such conditions. Oh, is that so! Well, that is the faulty reasoning
some receive for not seriously studying and believing God's Word!Fleeing to the MountainsOf course mankind will survive, even under such terrible conditions.How? "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the
caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His
majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:19-21.
See also Revelation 6:12-17.Certainly thousands, or even millions, of unbelieving Christ rejectors
left behind following the rapture, will perish when these terrible
conditions come upon the earth. Jeremiah was inspired of God to write,
"And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the
earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be
lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the
ground," Jeremiah 24:33.It should be glaringly obvious that the elderly, the handicapped, the
lame, the blind, etc. left behind on the earth after the rapture, will not
be physically able to flee to the mountains, yet many of them will perish
attempting to get there. Staying in the towns and cities and on the4plains will mean certain death, as the temperatures soar. The caves and
holes and dens in the mountains will offer the only source of insulation
from the terrible heat, yet thousands of people in all parts of the earth
will not be able to reach the safety of the mountains before they perish.
The earth will be filled with the dead bodies of people who die from
heatstroke while trying to reach a cave or hole or den in the mountains.
And due to the danger from the extreme heat, when they collapse, their
relatives will leave them where they fall. Their own relatives will not
take the time to bury their own kin, for fear of perishing from the heat
themselves. The dead bodies will be left where they fall, and will
provide food for the wolves, bears, big cats, and other varmints to feed
on during the night. This is just one of the judgments awaiting all Christ
rejectors during the coming Tribulation period. Every lost reader has
been warned! Take heed!And About That Excess Water .I stated in my previous study, that the Lord God still has a use for the
excess water, presently stored in the ice caps at the North and South
poles of the earth. The Arctic and Antarctic ice caps will speedily melt
when exposed to the high temperatures which are corning upon the
earth. The melting of the ice caps will then raise the levels of the seas
and oceans, while filling the atmosphere of the earth with steam and
high humidity. Now think about this for a minute! Combine the steam
or humidity with the massive heat coming from the Sun, and there will
be an oven like temperature all over the earth. Isn't this exactly what is
predicted in Malachi's prophecy? "The day cometh that shall burn as
an oven." Malachi 4:1. Dear readers, always take God's Word at face
value for what it actually and literally says, unless there is a Scriptural
reason for doing otherwise.The melting of the ice caps will cause the water levels in the oceans
and seas to rise, flooding much of the low lying land along the coastal
areas of the earth. The palatial mansions of the wealthy, and the
luxurious hotels and resorts, built on the beaches and sea coasts of the
mainlands and islands, will be overflowed and swallowed up by the
rising waters. Read Zephaniah 2:5.All of the Proud, and All that do VlkkedlyKeep in mind that when the flood came in "the days of Noah," every
single unbeliever on the earth perished. There was none left but
righteous Noah and his family, 1 Peter 3:20. So likewise will it be5
during the coming Tribulation period. Only a remnant of those who
turn to Christ for salvation will be spared at the end of the Tribulation
to repopulate the earth.Near the end of the Tribulation, the Lord shall suddenly appear in
the heavens, coming back to the earth with all His saints. Matthew
24:29-30; Zechariah 14:5; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; Revelation 1:7.
Those on the earth will actually see Christ and all His people coming in
the sky, as they approach, Isaiah 66:15-16. At that very time some will
repent and receive Christ for salvation, but many others will harden
their hearts and refuse to repent. All who reject Christ at that time, will
be destroyed by being burned into ashes, just as stated in our text
Scripture for this study, Malachi 4:1-3, Zechariah 14:12.So, just as it was when the flood came, in "the days of Noah," not a
single wicked person shall be left alive on the face of the earth.The Kingdom of ChristThe earth will then be cleansed in preparation for the Kingdom of
Christ, Matthew 13:40-42. Only the righteous will be spared to enter
into the Millennial Kingdom, which will be established on the earth by
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, Matthew 13:43; Revelation 20:1-6.And All That Excess Water?During and even after the Tribulation, the entire heavens and earth
will experience great changes, Isaiah 65:17-25; 66:22. The prophetic
Scriptures tell us that every high hill and high mountain on earth will
have streams and rivers of water flowing from them, Isaiah 30:25. I amblessed just meditating on the changes which are going to take place ."Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see
Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken
down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither
shall any of the cords thereofbe broken.But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers
and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship pass thereby," Isaiah 33:20-21." ..... for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in
the desert," Isaiah 35:6.All of this water, once unneeded excess water, but then in the Lord's
Kingdom, being put to use, will cause every part of the earth to be the
most fertile and productive it has ever been since mankind has been
upon the earth. Deserts will simply cease to exist, and the thosands of6
acres presently covered by deserts will become fertile land for c~ops or
even for homes for the expanding population of redeemed mankind.
Glory to God! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! How great is our God!
Praise the Lord for His wisdom and majesty!ConclusionDear readers, my prayer is that every reader of this study has the
