When Noah began constructing the Ark nobody knows what people thought or said to him. It must have seemed strange because it never rained in Noah's world; that means no floods. Noah advertised that God was going to destroy the world with a catastrophic flood. It took him and his three sons one hundred and twenty years to complete the ship; fortunately people lived longer in those times because of the pristine and healthy environment. The problem was humanity; the people were wicked, violent and corrupt. Even though a major flood warning alarm rang loud and long the people were unbelieving and indifferent to God; only eight persons survived the Great Flood. “Look life carries on as normal and that guy Noah has worked on that Ark for… well, I can't remember when he started, but it seems like a hundred years already. Gosh how does he afford it? Anyway, I am getting married next year and then we plan to move to the opposite side of the continent so I probably won't get to see him finish the boat; but it's impressive; no doubt about that. Oh look, I can't believe God will send a flood; besides God hasn't communicated with humans since Adam's time.”

The Bible is accurate and without error! Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions Volume 2 offers 40 powerful explanations to prove it. There is an increasing focus in our culture on dismissing the Bible and its authority. Generations of skeptics and the religion of evolution have influenced even some Christian leaders. By highlighting supposed errors or inconsistencies in the Bible, doubt is created in the minds of believers and stumbling blocks are put up for those trying to present the Gospel. But Biblical evidence disproves the toughest of critics while bringing to light the indestructible power of God’s Word. Tim Chaffey, Ken Ham, and Bodie Hodge of Answers in Genesis highlight the answers to these debates and more: Is all Scripture inspired by God, or is some of it the opinion of the writers of Scripture? After His resurrection, did Jesus first appear to the eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee or in Jerusalem behind closed doors? Can God be tempted? Why don’t Christians follow all the Old Testament laws? Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions Volumes 1 and 2 are must-have references for every believer who wants to have an answer to give to those who ask a reason for their hope (1 Peter 3:15). Join the battle armed with the sword of Spirit, the truth that will defeat the lies aimed for this generation and those to follow.

Heth worries that the Hittite Empire will be attacked from without. His chariots are more than just new and showy war machines. They might make the difference between life and death as Sargon turns his eye toward Hattus. Zohar is more worried about corruption within. Tawananna and Elon's new life together puts them in the crosshairs of everyone who wants to destroy the fledgling empire. How many laws do they need? How many houses and walls? Winter puts off the danger of invasion for a time, but what will happen when the greatest warrior begins to feel the effects of Lamech's Curse?
