It was a time when men were losing faith in the Lord, they did not know how to act or how to worship. The angels of heaven were unfaithful to their God and fell from heaven to rejoice with the daughters of men. The Earth was in ruins. The offspring of angels and women were wandering and destroying the earth that God had created. He had to make a decision, and that decision was to end all life on Earth and rebuild it. Yet there was one man, Noah, who had unwavering faith in his God. God decided to let Noah be the one to rebuild the Earth. This is the story of Noah according to Genesis, chapters 6-9 of the King James Bible. Noah heard the voice of God and was told that the Earth was in turmoil. God told him that He would end all life by causing a flood that would cover the land. Noah was asked to build an ark out of gopher wood, with very specific dimensions to house his family. He was then told to bring with him on the ark seven pairs of all kinds of clean animals and a single pair of unclean animals. Noah built the ark and soon the flood was upon the Earth. His family and the animals entered the ark and waited for forty days and forty nights, while the rains continued. As the flood invaded the land, the ark rose above the waters. The waters covered the highest mountains and all living beings were drowned. For one hundred and fifty days, the Earth was covered with water. As the waters subsided, the ark stopped on the mountains of Ararat. However, the mountain peaks were not seen until the first day of the tenth month. Noah opened the window at the top of the ark and sent a raven to fly above the waters until they no longer covered the Earth. He then sent out a dove but it returned to the middle of paper......rvapedia.com/Flood_Geology>."CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Noah's Ark." NEW ADVENT: Home. Internet.
