NOAH WAS TOLD TO REPLENISH THE EARTH: It is not difficult for Bible students to believe that mankind existed before the flood of Genesis 7. This is taught in every Synagogue, Church and Sunday School. ADAM’S RACE WAS TOLD TO BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH: Does this mean that mankind existed on the earth before Adam? Present throughout the Bible are scriptures generally referring to the Noah era flood which destroyed a wicked generation. However, like grains of salt sprinkled here and there in the scriptures there are intimations that much deeper secrets of the flooding history of the earth are still hidden. The following scriptures are challenging to Bible students who would like to know more.The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. (Ecclesiastes 1:8,9)
