The Chinese Language Has Surprising Connections to the Biblical Scripture

The Chinese language has surprising connections to the Biblical scripture and Biblical creationists use these connection to confirm the authenticity of the Biblical scripture.

Chinese Language Connection to the Ark of Noah and the Biblical Flood:

For example, the Chinese word for "boat" contains three symbols that refer to "vessel", "person", and the number "eight". The symbol for the number eight is intriguing because of the association with the eight passengers representing the family of Noah aboard the Ark in the Bible (Genesis 6:13-7:22). Biblical creationists theorize that these associations exist because of a connection with the Chinese language and the Bible. More specifically, the connection agrees with the Biblical creationist belief that the children of Noah spread out after the Flood across the Earth, including to China and these decedents passed on the Biblical stories through their language symbols. After the Flood, the Book of Genesis also describes a common language on Earth that was broken up when the languages were changed at the Tower of Babel incident (Genesis 11:1-9). The decedents of the Flood were all living in the same area and when they decided to build a city and tower against God's commands, God "confused" their languages so that the people spoke different languages. Unable to communicate, the people spread out throughout the Earth and took their new languages with them. Despite the language changes, the story of the Flood and the Ark was passed down through the generations and is evident within the Chinese language that there is a connection with the Biblical story of the Flood.

Chinese Language Connection to the Garden of Eden 

In addition to the Flood story, there is also a connection to the Biblical Garden of Eden described in the Book of Genesis within the Chinese language. The Chinese word for the phrase "to covet" contains a symbols for "woman" and "two trees", which gives a reference to Eve and the trees containing the forbidden fruit and the allowed fruit in the Biblical story (Genesis 3:6).

In addition, the Chinese word for "forbidden" contains the symbol for "trees" and the symbol for "God commands," giving a reference to the Biblical Garden of Eden and the commandment about the forbidden fruit trees (Genesis 2:16).
