I can say with absolute certainty that there is no evidence for your fucking god.
But there is evidence. Just because you refuse to see it, doesn't mean that its not there. How can a book with so many different scribes dove-tail and form a perfect overall picture. That would be akin to pieces of a blank jigsaw puzzle being handed out to different people and having them draw a picture and the puzzle coming together to form a perfect portrait.
I already explained the story of Joseph.
I already explained how the flood relates to the new earth.
But as it relates to the flood, Jesus gave an example of the eight people being saved in the ark as an example of what will happen in the end times.
Matthew 24:37-43
King James Version (KJV)
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
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.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Notice, He is referring to the Jews because the gospel hadn't been given to the Gentiles (Christians). The Bible doesn't give specifics in relation to the Gentiles (Christians). However, it does give specifics in relation to the Jews. So, if we take what Jesus said about the eight people being saved and compare it to the end times by looking in the book of Revelations, we will see that the number of Jews that were saved numbered 144,000. That would be 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes.
The 144,000 Jews in Revelations go through the tribulation period, but, are divinely sheltered, which is why Jesus made the comparison between the flood (tribulation period) and the eight people in the ark (144,000). However, that is only part of the picture because the "rapture" happens before the tribulation period, so, that would mean they would have to be an example of the rapture happening before the flood. As we can see by the story of Enoch disappearing off the face of the earth that there was an example of the rapture.
Genesis 5
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
In case you haven't noticed the numerology eight people were saved in the ark only one went in the rapture during the antediluvian time period. That is a ratio of eight to one. So, we know the number of Jews saved in the end time is 144,000 so if we take that same eight to one ratio that would mean the number of people taking up in the rapture would be about 18,000. In other words, if the rapture were to happen would anyone notice 18,000 people disappearing off the face of the planet?
So explain the bible dove-tailing together so perfectly, not being evidence.
