Noah and the ArkThe story of Noah and the ark is probably one of the most read stories in the Bible. Perhaps this is because of the great tragedy it describes, or because it is a story of salvation. Noah and his family and the animals were saved from the flood, while the other people and animals perished. Growing up, the story of Noah and the ark was one of my favorites; Quite simply because of the drawings depicting history. They seemed so beautiful to me when, after many years, I realized the whole story. The story of humanity's destruction and the story of regrowth. I chose this topic because I realized how little I know about Noah and the ark. I'm going to tell the story of Noah and the ark and answer some questions I have. Who was Noah and why was he chosen by God? What did he have that God didn't see in others? I will also look at what was happening at the time and why God wanted to wipe out all life. “The story of Noah and the ark is one of the most precious and terrifying episodes. » (Readers Digest) This article will not explore the possibilities of building such an ark, or even whether it was sufficient to hold all the animals that Noah was to take on board. I won't compare different stories about the flood, although that would also be interesting. I'm going to delve deeper into the story of Noah and the ark. I am looking for the reasons for the flood and the reasons why Noah was chosen for the task of building the ark. Noah was Adam's ninth deceased. Noah was the son of Lamech, the grandson of Methuselah, and the great-grandson of Enoch who “walked with God.” Lamech called his son Noah to tell him: “This one will comfort us from the pain of the work of our hands on the ground that the Lord has cursed. » (Genesis, p. 25) Men began to increase in number. “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that all the imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. And the Lord regretted having created man on the earth and this grieved his heart. (Genesis 6:5-6) The Lord was going to destroy the human race, the cattle, the creeping things and the birds. God said, “I regret doing them.” (Genesis 6:7-8) The Lord found grace in Noah's eyes. Noah was chosen by God to build an ark. Noah was chosen because he was middle of paper... God's ordained purpose for him, which was to save Noah and his family. This shows others that we too will be saved if we do what God commands. The story of Noah is one that should remind us that there are consequences for abusing God's laws. We must remember that we all have a responsibility to follow the laws provided by God. It's a story of salvation. Noah was saved unlike the others who died in the flood. The others did not do what God commanded them. As the Lord says in Jeremiah 18:7-8 “If ever I announce that a nation or a kingdom is to be uprooted, demolished and destroyed, and if that nation I have warned repents of its evil, then I I will give in and not inflict on him the disaster I had planned. It seems that the Lord would have allowed other people to repent and perhaps be saved from the flood, just like Noah. I guess people made fun of Noah and his sons for building the ark. The other people, like Noah, had probably never seen rain and therefore did not believe that a flood was coming. These unbelievers perished in the flood. It was too late for them to repent. They had their chance, but chose not to change their ways.
