Where in the bible does it say Noah was ridiculed while building the ark?

Answer 1

That ancient heavens and earth were wicked. God determined that they had to go: "I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground." (Gen. 6:7, NW) God disclosed this fact to Noah, a man who detested the wicked conditions of that world and who loved righteousness. God instructed Noah to build a big three-story ark. Noah did as God commanded. Noah also was active as a preacher of righteousness. But the people of that time, except for Noah's wife, three sons and their wives, were not interested in righteous conditions. As to God's purpose to wipe out men by a flood, the wicked world did not believe it would happen. The world scoffed at Noah and ridiculed him for his ark-building.

But one day in November, 2370 B.C., the time came for the end of the "ancient world." Says The Bible: "The floodgates of the heavens were opened. And the downpour upon the earth went on for forty days and forty nights. And the waters became overwhelming and kept increasing greatly upon the earth, but the ark kept going on the surface of the waters. And the waters overwhelmed the earth so greatly that all the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens came to be covered. Thus he wiped out every existing thing that was on the surface of the ground, from man to beast." The scoffers, who scoffed at the idea that God would destroy a wicked world, scoffed no more.-Gen. 7:11, 12, 18, 19, 23, NW.

Peter referenced Noah's day with the "Last Days" using the expression ridiculers that will present themselves in the Last Days that are to come with Noah's experience.

(2 Peter 3:2-7) . . .. 3 For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning." 5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
