About
“But the next time… IT WILL BE BY FIRE!”
Chick tracts, " There Go The Dinosaurs https://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1038/1038_01.asp" (2007)
Context: Those dinosaurs that were in the ark were "fruitful and multiplied" like other animals. But now the dinosaurs had a big problem... THE AIR HAD CHANGED! Remember those trillions of destroyed plants? They made the air rich with oxygen. And big animals need lots of it to survive. In the thinner air it was harder to breathe - they got slower and easier to catch. Now you know how the dinosaurs really died. Because of sin, the Lord destroyed the earth by water. But the next time... IT WILL BE BY FIRE!
