On that day, The LORD will punish with his sword that is cruel, great, and strong, Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the coiled serpent; and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. -- Isaiah 27:1
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return. -- Genesis 3:19
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die ... [then]: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. -- Genesis 6/7/8ish
The flood is preceded by a time of darkness. A light is seen and rejoiced by most, but it is the flood (blood flooding the riverbanks), and only a few have escaped destruction by means of a vessel and then only the bloodshed because the vengeance god was tricked into getting drunk. After the flood, the earth has to be recreated using a small amount of soil.
There's a boy raised by humans somewhere (called scarface) that is in fact the sun of the morning star, and is able to go between the sky country and earth, but stays in the sky country.
Ages of man: 1) golden/goodness for 4000yrs, then 400yr twilight; 2) energy (production and unsustainability) for 3000yrs ending in anarchy, then twilight for 300yrs; 3) mixture of 1 and 2 (sage appears and writes scriptures - knowledge) 2000/200; 4) darkness, at the end of which either go to 1, or it's the apocalypse.
The earliest people lived underground near a beautiful lake. A root from a grapevine poked down into their village, and they climbed out into the upper world. The root eventually broke, leaving half the people underground - when we die, we join them.
