This world not made out of things which already
existed!
The Unseen, Eternal Invisible, Selfexstent, Selfcon-
scous Sef-deermnate Omnipotent Almighty God spoke
the word, and there light!
He spoke the word, and the dry land appeared
He uttered the word, and the into exisence
He uttered the word and the came into existence
and He only made WORLD; He only made ONE SUM-
He only made MOON; and the shines with it's
light.

God in his heart prepared the ark for the salvation Of his
house, by which he condemned the world and became heir
of the righteousness which is by faith
few minutes study of Noah may help you to under
stand little better
God looked down upon the world, and it was very
wcked-just as it is today The Savior Himself said that
as it was in the time of Noah would be in the time of
the end; and so it is.

mass corruption and filth beneath the socaed of
civilization
