Raven eating corrupted meat and junk (unclean
bird) ? Natural life, lust for the world
Dove pure and obedient (clean bird) ? Spiritual
life, long for holiness and life
So it is written "The first man Adam became a
living being" the last Adam, a life-giving
spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but
the natural, and after that the spiritual. (1 Cor
1545-46)

Is the deluge and the ark a myth?
Besides the Bible, 200 races in the world (from
Asia, Europe to Latin America) also have legends
about an ancient great flood, which was somewhat
the same as the one in the Bible. China Nuwa
repaired the wall of heaven After Nuwa (sound
like Noah) had repaired the wall of heaven with
five-colored stones, the rain stopped. The Bible
said, after the flood had receded, rainbow
appeared in the sky. God made a covernant with
Noah by it.

95 legends The cause of the flood was a
catastrophe. 95 legends The flood was
worldwide. 88 legends Only one family was saved
in the flood. 70 legends The family was saved
through a ship. 67 legends Not only people but
animals were also saved. 57 legends The ship
rested on a mountain top after the flood. 33
legends Birds were sent to see if the land was
dry after the flood. 13 legends There was a
sacrifice after the flood. 9 (about 20-30 races)
legends Eight persons were saved. 7 (about 20
races) legends There was a rainbow after the
flood.
7
It is found that the nearer the race lived from
the middle east, the more similar their legends
about the flood is to the Bible. On the other
hand, those races lived far away from the middle
east, their legends are less similar to the Bible.

Pamir Mountains 
Xian
Silk road
Are Chinese also descendants of Noah? The ark
rested on the mountains of Ararat, which is west
of the Pamir Mountains and north of Mesopotamia.
The Silk road passed by it. It was said that
Huangdi, the ancester of the Chinese, entered
China from the west of the Pamirs.

The deluge (and the red sea) symbolizes the
baptism that saves us from the wicked generation
through whom (the Holy Spirit) also he (Christ)
went and preached to the spirits in prison who
disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in
the days of Noah while the ark was being built.
In it only a few people, eight in all, were
saved through water, and this water symbolizes
baptism that now saves you also. It saves you by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1 Pet 319-21)
10
The days of Noah symbolizes the end time
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at
the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days
before the flood, people were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to
the day Noah entered the ark. (Matt 2437-38)

Offering oneself
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's
mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual
act of worship. (Rom 121) Through Jesus,
therefore, let us continually offer to God a
sacrifice of praise-- the fruit of lips that
confess his name. (Heb 1315)

Power of words
Man was made according to Gods image, So his
words also have power.
For he spoke, and it came to be he commanded,
and it stood firm. (Ps 339)
The tongue has the power of life and death, and
those who love it will eat its fruit. (Prov 1821)
