Flood (Flood, Cynthia - Short Story): Buildings
built 656 days ago
There is ample evidence that civilization after the Flood developed very rapidly, and for reasons in part given in Chapter IX. There is ample evidence that not only were the Chaldean ancients well versed in geometry, astronomy, and even in some forms of calculus; there is ... ample evidence that they understood a good deal about structural engineering (the Babylonian ziggarats and the Egyptian pyramids serving as illustrations). Further, this study posits that in the age following the Flood-Ice catastrophe, when the ice mass was yet melting and when Chaldean climates were cooler, moister, and more temperate, exploring parties very likely had been sent out and had given reports of the vast icy reaches in the north, where the "face of the deep was yet frozen." Thus, although the Book of Job is profound in its spiritual context, it is equally profound in its historical scope of analyses and observations of matters astronomical, geophysical, climatological and zoological.

In 1776 Flood had made an attempt to enter the British House of Commons. In 1783 he tried again, this time with success. He purchased a seat for Winchester from the duke of Chandos, and for the next seven years he was a member at the same time of both the British and Irish parliaments. He reintroduced, but without success, his reform bill in the Irish House in 1784; supported the movement for protecting Irish industries; but short-sightedly opposed Pitt's commercial propositions in 1785. He remained a firm opponent of Roman Catholic emancipation, even defending the penal laws on the ground that after the Revolution they were not laws of persecution but of political necessity; but after 1786 he does not appear to have attended the parliament in Dublin.

Cain, a condemned murderer, built the first city before the Flood. Interestingly, Nimrod, a wild rebel against God's rule in his life, built the first city after the flood. Even today, mankind is not ready to live in a city. There are two symbolic cities in the Bible: the city of man and the city of God, and on this subject commentators great and small have written many volumes. Jesus, the Second Adam, has prepared New Jerusalem, the Paradise City of God, as a home for redeemed mankind. The tree of life will be there for the healing of the nations.

The Flood lasted slightly over one year. Who passed on pre-flood literature and revived traditions? How did anyone after the Flood know the names of kings who ruled before the Flood and the names of their cities?

Flood-Guard™ operates like a check valve to seal off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers. Water flows normally through the drain until the sewer begins to back up. Then the Flood-Guard float rises to seal off the drain opening until the water recedes.

No new policies can be written to cover such buildings, nor can an existing policy be renewed.
