Was this the infamous Bush's fault?

James Brolin (Mr. Barbara Streisand) was the lead actor in the movie, so that is very likely, LOL!

Mount Ararat was most notably Volcanically active around 3000 b.c. and a few times since. You will notice the lava flow covering the wooden beams in some places and actually ending the beams as it appears the lava burnt through them in attached picture (left center). Hard to plant something like this. Either this is Noah's Ark or an old man-made structure (ref. 1840 volcanic activity, really an earthquake where structures were cover)....It appears this structure is at least as old as the covering lava flow.

There are shrines all throughout that area dedicated to the remembrance of Noah that have been around who knows how long.

For those who think the Lava flow pictured in previous picture is ice.

Mount Ararat is known as a StratoVolcano. This Lava tends to be Glassy like. Giving it a shimmer. In addition ice is covering the lava adds to the shimmer. It's a naturally occuring Glass called Obsidian which is found in Felsic Lava flow and is caused when this lava cools very quickly (like in a VERY cold enviroment at 13k Feet on Mount Ararat).

Click Here for StratoVolcano Wiki

The lava that flows from stratovolcanoes tends to be viscous; it cools and hardens before spreading far. The magma forming this lava is often felsic, having high-to-intermediate levels of silica (as in rhyolite, dacite, or andesite), with lesser amounts of less-viscous mafic magma.

Picture of Obsidian Lave almost identical to the Chinese explorer picture I posted above.

Tar balls have started washing up on the beaches of Alabama.

Tar in the Bible is called pitch, and it occurs 19 times in the KJV.

The first occurrence is in Genesis 6, in connection with Noah’s flood.

The second connection is with Moses when his mother covered a basket with pitch before putting him in it and casting them both adrift on the Nile.

Both connections are to judgment.

Noah’s flood was a world-wide calamity brought about by the absolute wickedness of mankind and their sexual involvement with the fallen angels.

The second was specifically judgments upon Egypt and her gods as well as Pharaoh as Moses was directed by God to speak them.

Both instances of pitch, pitch on the ark and pitch on the basket, speak to a demarcation line or barrier between the righteous (Noah) on one side and the wicked on the other, the preservation of God’s anointed (Moses) on one side and judgments to come on the other. Pitch was used as a barrier between judgment upon the world and these men of God. The appearance of pitch may indicate coming judgments.

Tar/pitch is washing up on the coasts of Alabama (judgment begins on the coasts per the prophet Jeremiah), and Alabama just happens to be the state that was the first to declare the Ten Commandments as too judgmental for public places as Judge Roy Moore can speak about with firsthand knowledge.

There are two forms of wickedness: allowing sin in or keeping God out. Alabama certainly leaned towards the latter.

Other mentions of pitch in the Bible are with the “pitching of tents,” which is not in the same context as pitch/tar.

But Isaiah 34 mentions pitch as tar.

In my KJV Bible, chapter 34 is titled Judgment Against the Nations, and verse 5 says, “For my sword will be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.”

Idumea here means Edom or Esau and the descendants of Esau.

In A. A. Allen’s vision, he saw a large, deadly sword in the cup that Liberty was forced to drink. Here in verse 5, we see judgment coming upon two groups of people: descendants of Esau and the people “of my curse.”

This should IMMEDIATELY remind us of Genesis 12: 3.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

There are a number of us who feel that by pressuring Israel to give up land that the God of Israel gave to her, we are cursing her and will suffer as a result.

“Now all the writers of barbarian histories make mention of this flood and of this ark; among whom is Berosus the Chaldean; for when he is describing the circumstances of the flood he goes on thus:- ‘It is said there is still some part of this ship in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyaeans; and that some people carry off pieces of the bitumen, which they take away, and use chiefly as amulets for the averting of mischiefs.’” - Josephus
