ICE AGES?:
I know, you probably think I'm pushing ideas of evolution theory. I am not doing that. I cannot account for Dr. Schoch's religious beliefs either. I am simply sticking to the scientific evidence that Dr. Schoch discovered. We have evidence of dinosaurs today also by their skeletons, yet some still refuse to believe that dinosaurs once existed upon this earth in ancient times. Even New Earth Creationists claim to be following real science with their attempts to prove dinosaurs are still walking around today among us, and they call that science?! So don't think I'm pushing non-scientific proofs. I am not.
So was there really an ice age, or several ice ages, in ancient history of the earth? Science has geological data that strongly suggests it. Yet I believe there was only ONE ice age in the earth's past history, and that was when God trembled this earth in destroying that old world, "the world that then was" (2 Peter 3). Again, let me point you to that ancient destruction upon the earth that our Heavenly Father once did to end that old world...
Heb 12:25-29
25 See that ye refuse not Him That speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused Him That spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him That speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."
That "Yet once more" is pointing to TWO TIMES of the shaking of this earth. Isaiah 2:19 and Revelation 6:14, etc., reveal the future shaking at the end of this present world, so God is going to shake it, again? When did He first... shake it, like this Hebrews Scripture reveals? and on what level of shaking? Do you remember Jeremiah 4:23-26?
Hebrews 12
27 And this word, "Yet once more", signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
KJV
That is pointing to the final shaking of this earth God will do to end this present world time on the "day of the Lord". That "day of the Lord", the last day of this present world, is when God's consuming fire will burn man's works off the surface of this earth (2 Peter 3). And that Hebrews Scripture is pointing to a previous... destruction God once did upon this earth, and it involved a shaking of only... the earth. Note per Hebrews 12:26 above, the next time it will be a shaking of both the earth... and Heaven. That reveals the type of destruction in the past when God first shook this earth only. Do you think that might have something to do with the earth's tilt today, since geographic true north is about 90 miles off from true magnetic north?
How does this relate to the idea of an ice age though?
Science well knows about the woolly mammoth discovered buried under the ice in the Arctic region of the earth, still with undigested flowers in its mouth and stomach, showing it was grazing in a lush green field, until it was frozen instantly. There's actually been several discoveries like that. But how could the mammoth be frozen at an instant, and where... did all that water that formed the ice come from? The mammoth grazing means the climate immediately prior had to have been a warm... climate. And all of a sudden, floods of water appears, and then freezes instantly?? I'm not making this up. That is what even science admits that had to have happened, even though they don't understand how. They just start talking a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about ice ages, probably hoping you'll forget about that mammoth being instantly frozen while grazing in a green field. They don't bother to mention much about the tropical plant and animal fossil remains found at both the earth's poles either, revealing those areas were once warm tropic zones. So what happened?
Our Heavenly Father ended... that old world. That is what happened. He shook this old earth, and the waters that then surrounded the 'whole'... earth (no holes in the sky), came down upon the earth, and flooded the whole thing, destroying Satan's original rebellion of old. How do you think the earth's poles got to be warm tropic zones before? plate shifts of the earth, as if the north and south pole used to sit in the area of Brazil at the equator? That's actually something like what modern science proposes, the idea of the earth's plates shifting, as if the Canadian Yukon went south to Latin America, and Latin America went north to the Arctic. Ever wonder about the following verse mentioning in God's future new heavens and a new earth, that there won't be any more sea?...
Rev 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
KJV
Today's earth is covered by about 70% water, so where is all that water going to go for God's Word to be true there? Let's see, there's a lot of holes in our sky atmosphere around today's earth. The sun beads down upon the surface of the earth, evaporating waters on the earth, and causing hot air to rise up to meet cold air in the higher altitudes, and causing violent tempests and such; basically our violent weather patterns on today's earth. What if, what if... all that water upon the earth, were up in the sky, plugging all those holes in the atmosphere around the earth? What would that be like? It suggests an even and balanced temperature around the whole... earth. It suggests a 'greenhouse' condition. If the earth was in that kind of condition, could there be tropic zones at both of the earth's poles?
And what might end... that greenhouse condition around the earth? Have you figured out what I'm suggesting that likely happened to this ancient earth? and explains how the woolly mammoth was covered in water and instantly frozen, caught grazing in a lush green field, frozen with un-decayed plants still in its mouth and stomach? The Revelation 21:1 verse is pointing to God in the future putting back the waters in the sky holes around the earth, which is likely how He originally created this earth. Need a bit more about this in His Word? Look at this again...
Jer 4:26-28
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by His fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
KJV
I already covered the idea Apostle Paul taught in Romans 8 about God having placed His creation into vanity and a state of bondage to corruption for this present world time. That is why the earth mourns. Paul showed that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" (Romans 8:22). For that reason, "the heavens above be black". What's that mean?...
What happens when you see rain clouds full of water getting ready to storm? The clouds turn dark, don't they? That is what our Heavenly Father is pointing to about the earth mourning, because the heavens above it have all those storms going on, for this world. God said there in Jeremiah 4:27 that He wouldn't make a full end (of this present world), and He didn't. He instead placed this present creation in a state of bondage to corruption, like Paul said in Romans 8. What does that ultimately point to then, concerning the no more sea idea in Revelation 21:1, and the earth being destroyed of old by being overspread with waters? (2 Peter 3:5-6 and Genesis 1:2)
What I propose happened then, with the idea of an ice age that happened back around 11,000 to 13,000 years ago, is that... was when God destroyed that old world when Satan rebelled. God ended that time with a world-wide flood, and... a great shaking of this ancient earth. The waters surrounding the entire earth (no holes), was suddenly emptied upon the surface of the ancient earth, flooding its entire surface, ending Satan's rebellion on the ancient earth. Then when God put back some of those waters up into the sky, forming today's atmosphere, holes were left in it, exposing the earth's poles to cold space, and the sun affecting the direct heat radiation only at the equator zones. This is how the woolly mammoth grazing in a green field in the Arctic zone, that warm climate once protected by God's water canopy originally covering the whole... earth, suddenly and instantly changed, once the waters came down upon the earth and, then partially removed back up in the sky exposing the poles to cold air in space. Would such an event that happened quickly create an instant freezing like the fate of the woolly mammoth suggests? I believe so. Could it also account for an Ice Age around the whole earth? Possibly.
