“It seems hard to believe that angels roamed the Earth.”was that before or after noah and the prescribed religion of antiquity ... and also they said they would let it play out without interruption, that means there will only be one version of humanity in the end a triumph one or the other ... hopefully the desert religions will be long past.
Both. We know that God punished Adam and Eve, but their punishment was spelled out to them before their sin. Today, our punishment of the Lake of Fire is spelled out to us for our sin. Yet, because God loves us wholly and unconditionally, he gave us a way out through Jesus Christ. What is weird is atheists believe in God when they have to face him for their sins. They think he'll be a loving God after their deaths. This isn't the way God works. One has to repent for their sins first or else they end up spiritually dead.
Before Noah's time, it's my opinion that the world was much harsher. It seems hard to believe that angels roamed the Earth. There seemed to be a gateway from heaven to Earth (4th dimension to 3rd dimension?). However, God changed things before the global flood. God shortened our lives through gamma radiation to 120 years. He seemed to have closed the gateway after the global flood where we do not have physical presence of angels and demons anymore. We do see their influence and tricks though.
Today, I think God has shortened our lives even more to 90 years as the magnetic field has weakened. This is further evidence for a young Earth as the magnetic field would not last millions of years.
Anyway, the above is for the others here. It isn't for you as you just end up getting it jumbled up in your head.
You’re right. That seems hard to believe.
