So this is what some Catholic commentator stated about the issue...Whether it was Jerome or not, I don't know...
[7] "Did not return": The raven did not return into the ark; but (as it may be gathered from the Hebrew) went to and fro; sometimes going to the mountains, where it found carcasses to feed on: and other times returning, to rest upon the top of the ark.
Hogwash...And I'll show you why...This is the actual scripture;
Gen 8:7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
There is absolutely no suggestion that the raven landed anywhere...The fact that Noah knew the bird was flying back and forth, no doubt to all points on the compass lets us know the bird only landed on the ark until the waters were dried up...AND,
Gen 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Gen 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth:
Little odd that the raven could find land but the dove couldn't eh???
Also Isaias 46. 4, God says: I am till you grow old. Who dare infer that God should then cease to be:
Sheesh...You don't even read your own Douay Catholic scripture...Here it is...
[4] Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
It doesn't even have til or until in it...Where are you getting your junk from???
Here's the actual scripture...
Isa 46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
Isa 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
God saith to his divine Son: Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Shall he sit no longer after his enemies are subdued?
That's exactly right...And when Jesus stand up, people better start worrying...
You know Jesus did stand one time already.
Acts 7:55-56. Stephen’s vision of heaven just before he is martyred:
“But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.”
“And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man, STANDING on the right hand of God.”
This was Israel’s third and final strike. Strike one was Israel rejecting God the Father after He told them that Christ was His beloved Son. Strike two was rejecting Christ and demanding His death. Strike three was rejecting the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and becoming more and more rebellious until THEY actually murdered Stephen.
They rejected the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At that point their fate was sealed.
