I had to study Greek and Roman mythology in college. I often wondered where these stories came from and why have they stood the test of time. I wondered where Tolkien and C.S. Lewis got the idea of Elves and Orcs and the like. Archeology has shown us some things to make us wonder, like the depiction of people with heads of birds or half men and half horses. Paul tells us to not to get caught up into all of these things. Now, this is just my opinion, but I believe the society before the flood was very high tech, like we are today. Ecclesiastes tells us that there is nothing new under the sun.Years ago I studied what is called the pre-adamic race - some beings that some say existed before Adam - some say they are angels and some say it was some other form that was neither angel nor man .
I followed various POV and teachings trying to get a provable and verifiable conclusion , and found none.
Ecc. 1:9 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.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Only in this context do I deem this stuff important. Lord Jesus said it would be as it was in the days of Noah. Well, we don't know what it was like, but we do know that it was a very evil time.How evil I don't think we can even imagine. We also know that the last times will be worse than those times. Here is what He said.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Lord Jesus said that mean's hearts will fail them for fear.
Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
So, in my curiosity I do think that we have seen nothing yet. What if we see minotaurs walking down the street. Will animals talk again? With the technology at our disposal, anything is possible. And since there is nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again.
