The Book of Paul by Richard Long5/19/2023 (ii) The exhibitions also conveyed what was to appear again and again as the museum’s programming philosophy: the presentation of unexpected juxtapositions of works, creating new contexts and questioning traditional museological representations. This emphasized the spatial variety and complexity of the new museum’s spaces, and a significant artistic diversity, aiming to address the “past, present and future in one institution”. The suite of exhibitions was distributed across the Royal Hospital Kilmainham (RHK), including its courtyard and adjacent grounds showing the work of nearly one hundred multigenerational artists. The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) opened on with an inaugural sequence of exhibitions and projects entitled Inheritance and Transformation. Exchange and collision: Paul Henry’s Turf stack in bog and Richard Long’s Kilkenny Limestone Circle (i) The time it never rained5/19/2023 The rain falling on the roof of the ark may have been the very first rainstorm on earth. DeYoung presents the case of no rain before the Flood. Until that time the people had never seen it rain.ĭonald B. God did not open these floodgates until He destroyed the world in the days of Noah ( Genesis 7:11). They had been stored up since day two of creation. The water source for the Flood, it is argued, are the waters above spoken of in Genesis 1:6, 7. The earth was watered by a mist until the Flood waters came down. Some say these verses teach that it did not rain until the time of the Flood. Thus God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse and it was so ( Genesis 1:6, 7)įor the Lord God had not caused it to rain, and there was no man to till the ground ( Genesis 2:5). Then God said, Let there be a expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Does the Bible teach that the earth did not receive rain until the Flood in Noah's day? Is it possible that the people had never seen it rain before the earth was destroyed in the Flood? Two passages seem to teach this. Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire.
