BYU Lecture 7: The Great Universal Flood

Due to the wickedness of the people, similar to the wickedness of today, God cleanses the Human race by using a universal Flood. Noah obeys the Lord and builds an enormous ark, but only he, his wife, and 3 of his sons along with their wives survive. Has the ark been discovered on Mt. Ararat?

Discussion of the need for a righteous government to govern a righteous people. There is a great need to conserve the Constitution. A good student will solve problems by using Constitutional principles. He must study in fairness all sides of important issues and make intelligent decisions that build a righteous people.

The Law of Consecration must be restored among a righteous people but only under the direction of the priesthood. God’s work will prevail.

BYU Lecture 8: Mankind Expands Across the Land After the Flood.

After the flood and the ark settles, the family of Noah enters the new world. As they descend from the mount, the families of Japheth, Shem and Ham go their separate ways and begin again to populate the earth.

Different races across the world can be traced to the three sons of Noah; Slavic and Orientals traced to Japheth, Arabic, Jewish and Caucasian traced to Shem, and Blacks traced to Ham.

Egypt means “black” and it’s evident from the mummy discoveries that Egypt had many different dynasties from both Ham and Shem.

This concludes the First 2,000 Years and the supplemental text now begins in The Third Thousand Years.
