The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 30, No. 22, November 15, 1895, pp 700-701; “Adam’s Altar…I have visited many times…Joseph said, “That altar was built by our Father Adam and there he offered sacrifice.”…according to the words of the Prophet Joseph, mankind in that age continued to emigrate eastwardly until they reached the country on or near the Atlantic coast; and that in or near Carolina Noah built his remarkable ship, in which he, his family, and all kinds of animals lived a few days over one year without coming out of it…The travels of this Church have been from the very beginning the reverse direction from the “course of empire”…According to the Bible and the words of Joseph Smith, we have emigrated in exactly a reverse course also from the first people on the earth. What direction will we travel next if we ever emigrate?” – Oliver B. Huntington
Genesis 6:14, 8:4; “Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”
While we still haven’t found Noah’s Ark, we do know the Bible tells us it landed on Ararat.
We know Ararat is not in the good ol’ USA and we also know there is no gopher wood in the Carolinas.
We know the Garden of Eden was near the following four rivers; Pison, Gibon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates.
We know the Eurphrates isn’t in America and in fact is still in the Middle East just as it’s always been.
Why would the Church have so many different accounts of where Noah lived? We’re already seen in one of their false prophecies how they taught that the ark floated down the Mighty Mississippi.
