Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark is a vessel describes in Genesis chapters 6-9 of the Hebrew Bible. In the story, God instructs a man named Noah to build an ark to providing a save-haven for Noah, his family, and all species of animals. Once Noah and his fellow travelers are aboard the ark, God enacts a massive flood, destroying all other living things on the planet. The inhabitants of the ark go on to repopulate the world after the great flood.

Was noah who built the ark a real person?

Scientists tell us conclusively that there never was a great Flood as described in the Bible. And they tell us that the Flood as described would be physically impossible. Scholars tell us that the biblical story of Noah and his Ark is very similar to the flood story in the much older Epic of Gilgamesh.

For these and many other reasons, we can say with certainty that Noah was not a real person.

Does God get angry?

no one can answer that question, myself i dont believe in god and i am not religious but i guess when earthquakes and other "natural disasters" happed it may be "god" being angry

Another Answer:

yes look at the flood

Answer:

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

"For the WRATH of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the Truth in unrighteousness." (Rom.1:18)

Indeed, look at the flood. But, look, also, at the next flood:

"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed by water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, WHICH ARE NOW, by the same Word ARE KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT and perdition of ungodly men...

"...the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which... the elements shall melt with fervent heat..." (II Peter 3:5-12).

I think "angry" might not be the right word for what God shall be when He returns. The world is not going to be happy:

"...THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and THEN SHALL ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN..." (Matt.24:30).

"...and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men... bondmen, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the WRATH of the Lamb: for THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; who shall be able to stand?" (Rev.6:15-17)

Eight people stood after the anger of the flood. How many will stand after the wrath of God's fire?

Rachel's Answer:

yes i do believe god gets angry but its more like disappointed...

natural disasters are just how the world works none of them are too do with god getting angry when there is a flood or an earthqueck or whatever thats gods way of giving us a challenge he is testing us strengthening us when we lose loved ones he is testing us to see if we still look up to him still believe in him. sometimes when you lose someone you love when they die they dont die away into nothingness there is always a reason why they die, and that reason is that god is needing them for something important up in heaven when someone passes away they always have an afterlife and its a perfect afterlife just lik it was in the begining. when the world was created got made two humans- adem and eve they lived in a perfect world were there were no such sin then god decided to test them just like he does to us... they failed the test that why the world is nowdays bad and evil fulled with bitterness and sin

it is not gods fualt the devil is the one you should be blaming.

Additonal Comment:

Considering what happened to the people of Noah, i.e. the great flood. God does get angry when we don't listen.

Another Answer:

God loves us, but he does get angry when we don't lisent and disobey him. In the book of Jeremiah chapter 7 & 8 it talks how the people were living against the laws of God, and God had to punish them.

(Jeremiah 7:19-20)

At the minimum, two of each species went on Noah's ark. They were made up of one female and one male each. Additionally, Noah brought seven pairs each of every ritually clean animal, and of every kind of bird [Genesis 7:20-23].

Who is Elohim the Hebrew god?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The two earliest anonymous authors known to have contributed to the writing of the Book of Genesis are now known as the Yahwist and the Elohist.

The Yahwist (J Source) always used Yahweh (YHWH) as the name for an anthropomorphic God with human characteristics, who made promises and covenants with his chosen people. The source's main interests were the southern kingdom, Judah.

The Elohist (E Source) always used Elohim as the name for a more transcendent God who required obedience and was feared by his people. This source came from the northern kingdom of Israel. The name Elohim is the plural of El, or 'god' in Hebrew, but when used with a singular verb or in a singular context, always referred to the Elohist's national God.

What animal would not get on noahs ark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

*makes a really weird thinking face* Probably a snake, but in the bible it says that 2 of every animal got on. -Whitney Leland

According to most Creationist Theologists, Noah did not take any fish, or other marine life, on the ark, so every species of fish, mollusk or crustacean observable today had to survive out in the open ocean for the entire duration of the flood. However, this would have presented numerous insurmountable problems. The mixing of salt and fresh water would have killed many fish, tremendous oceanic turbulence (in the creation of worldwide high-speed currents) would have killed others, coral reefs survive because of their shallow waters and clear light which would end, the topsoil of the land would have eroded making the water very murkey, and still others would be thrown out of their normal habitat would die of starvation.

What type of mountain is Mount Ararat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mount Ararat is a snow-capped, craterless, dormant volcano of lava flows that last erupted in 1840. It is the highest mountain in modern-day Turkey, and part of the Armenian Highlands mountain range. Ararat has two peaks, Greater Ararat, and Lesser Ararat or Little Ararat. On a peak in the mountains of Ararat is where the Bible says Noah's Ark landed as the flood waters receded (Genesis 8:4). And an old Armenian tradition corresponds with the biblical account.

Has anyone seen Noah's ark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many people have looked for Noah's Ark in Turkey, hoping to find any evidence that the Book of Genesis is historically true. The main focus for these searches has been Mount Ararat and, in fact, at least one person claimed to have finally found it. Subsequent, more objective, visits demonstrated that what was there was merely a geological formation that could, in the right light, look something like the bow of a ship. As long as there are religious people in the world, they will probably keep looking for Noah's Ark.

How long ago was Noah's ark built?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ark set sail in the 600th year of Noah's life, according to Genesis 7:17. That may have been 756 years after Adam died. So that may have been at least 1,656 years after the Creation. But such a figure may have been too low. Most likely, a far longer time may have passed between Adam's and Eve's creation and the great flood.

With Adam awakening in 4025bc, he died at age 930 in 3096bc, before Noah was born in 2970bc (Adams year 1056). The Flood occurred in Noah's 600th "calendar" year (all events were counted by the new year's day), thus 2370bc Julian Oct 12 (Gregorian equinox Sep 22) is not only his year 600 but also the year 100 for his son Ham, and the year 969 for his grandfather Methuselah. The angels on earth as kings are given 970 years (349,200 days) having ruled since Methuselah's birth beginning with the 1st total absolute king Alulim who then 300 years later dematerialized (translated) Enoch before onlookers when Enoch spoke against Larsa's 1st king Kichunna, the worlds 4th angel as absolute king. These events lock in pre-Flood chronology for the 1266 year calendar created by these angels in Adams year 390 (40th decade called a sar of 3600 days each) in 3636-3635bc. The Flood year is based on the 360-day calendar using this Oct 12 equinox of 2370bc as year 600 (Adams 1656), the absent new moon 360 days later on 2369bc Oct 6 as year 601, the 9-month gestation span of seeing Little Ararat on 10-01-600 (2369bc July 8) as Shem "rejoicing" on the ark to the birth of the baby on 7-01-601 (2368bc Apr 4) as the 2nd year, and as the new world (Man reborn), marked by Chaldean poem of Venus saddling Mars between the Taurus horns (above them in Gemini), as well as Mars being morning star then on the new year 602 (2368bc Oct 1). This is confirmed by all 27th of odd months being Chinese day JiaZi including the known January 6 Venus Epiphany as Noah's day 40 of rain (3-27-600) in 2369bc. The Damuzi (Mars) new year of 2368bc is confirmed by rise of 90-day absent Mars in 2009bc after 90 leap days (360 Julian years) from 10-01-600 (rejoicing on ark to conceive Little Ararat) until; new year 1-01-966 (both July 8). Babel's Marduk Street aims to this. And Eusebius agrees that Abram was 9 when the 52-year Marduk calendar was created the same year Nineveh was also 52 years old, as Babel's Marduk Temple was too. All things locked into place.

The end result is. asteroid impact was Nov 20, ark door sealed Nov 27, rain 40 days to Epiphany Jan 6, with the middle date Dec 17 presumed as crossing of everything in heaven, thus Saturnalia. The ark floated 150 days for 520 miles and thus was still being pushed upward 110 days after the rain ceased. Contrary to what Noah thought on day150, the ark was NOT higher than Mount Ararat when the rain stopped on day 40 because it wasnt the christening rain that covered Ararat, the continents were still collapsing into baptism until the ark got to Ararat and THEN it was under. This is a rate of 45 feet drop every tug of the moon rise and moonset until land was level with ocean floor 2 miles down.

2370bc is confirmed as Adams year 1656 by the fact that Babylon king Amizaduga Venus (1626-1625bc) is year 2400 which means only 1656+744.

And this means Peleg's death must be 340 years, not Egyptian 768, not Japan & Greek & Babylon's 740 years after Flood. If Amizaduga's Venus tablets are assumed as year 3600 then the additional 1200 causes year 6000 to be 1200 years earlier in 775 AD instead of 1975 AD because it pushes Adam back from 4025bc to being 5225bc. Greeks & Babylon revised Adam to 5200bc by regarding 300-year Babylon as 1900-1600bc (correctly 1894-1594bc falling when Moses was born). The end of Amizaduga in 1625bc was not the end of Babylon who had one last failing 30-year king.

2370bc is also confirmed by other chronologies such as Mayan Nah's Flood 3114bc is 744 years 180 solar leap days to 2370bc (mistaken as Peleg) because it is another 744 years 180 leap days to Amizaduga's 1626bc.

Likewise, Egyptian Septuagint 3090-3089bc Noah's Flood is 720 years 180 sothic leap days to 2370bc because it is another 720 years 180 sothic leap days to the birth of high-preist Jannes in 1650bc who Moses defied at 40 in 1554bc. Japanese Flood doesnt deal with it, instead its 3060bc is based on mass-migration fleeing Egypt in 1600bc as slavery, and also leaving Babylon's last king (1625-1594bc) in 1600bc mistaken as 1460 years after Flood 3060bc, and then beleiving seasonal leap days support this as 1507 years to 1554-1553bc.

By the fact that Persian date Mesor 24 as a Xmas eve is Jan 6 only from 2033-2029bc, and Peleg's death MUST occur 340 years after Flood (2370-2030bc) for this to be so. Further, king Cyrus in 560bc is made king as the avatar or return of Noah's spirit, thus Noah had to have died 1460 years earlier in 2020bc. The Gregorian Dec 20 solstice is no longer January 6 before 2100bc, therefore Peleg's death cannot be before that either. This rules out Egyptian Peleg dying in 2321bc or Babylon Peleg dying in 2207bc. In short, if we believe ALL nations descended from Noah, then the puzzle is proven by ALL calendars and ALL religions and ALL descent, and only as 2370bc can it do that. This proves Noah died on Dec 24 of 2021bc which the Maya moved the 2020bc Jan 10 date Thoth 1 back 16 days so that this Phoph or Pop is Pop 0 on Dec 24 and Pop 1 on Dec 25 as his death 12 days of Xams before Jan 6 winter solstice. It is SCIENTIFICALLY LOCKED by all astronomy not just bible astronomy, and all calendars, not just one favored calendar, all religions not just one religion, nor by just one book the Bible but by all books. THE BIBLE GENESIS IS TRUE because none of the religious books are pagan, they are just misread by people who cant read what those books once said truthfully.

How did Noah fit so many animals on to the Ark without them eating each other?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

GOD kept the animals at peace with each other. If you look, the Ark was about six hundred feet long and about two hundred feet wide and several stories tall. It was a box like structure that needed only to float. Noah loaded the Ark, as GOD had instructed him, with provisions enough for all. There were several members of Noah's family whose sole purpose, at the time, was to feed and tend the animals. All of this was accomplished under GOD's watchful eye. Remember: With GOD all things are possible. Noah's Ark is intended to be a lesson to those who read it, not a literal story. The meaning is being lost in the constant argument for the literal meaning of the Bible. It's a fable of sorts, a story with a meaning, not a historical retelling. The animals actually did eat each other. Before the ark, there were 15.7 billion species of animals on the planet. Noah actually only found half of them, and most of them died off of starvation, and the lions ate most of the rest of the ones that didn't starve, so that's why there are only 1.2 billion species of animals on the earth today.

Some believe that building such a large vessel out of wood is impossible, but there are many ships that have been built with the methods discussed.

We could probably devise quite a long list of details not mentioned in the Bible account of the flood. The exact answer to the above question is one of these. It has been demonstrated that there was ample room on the ark. This would have allowed for separation of animals. Other ideas have also been advanced such as hibernation or lack of carnivory. All of these can be demonstrated to happen today even though we do not know what happened on the ark.

If you approach the Bible as a book of moral fables, such as the Book of Virtues, or Pilgrim's Progress, you are not following the guidelines for the Bible given in the Bible. The simplest answer, although an excellent one has been given four entries above this, is that on a ship roughly the size of the Rose Bowl (if you check the dimensions) and the constantly overlooked idea of carrying animals in their adolescence, you solve both the problem of space and carnage. Answer The ark was huge: about 600 feet long. And God kept the animals from eating each other. (They probably were also separated from each other). The Bible was being serious when it said two of every kind of animal, but the fact is that although there are a lot of different species, what scientists call a species is different than what God calls a species or "kind".

What does the return of the dove with an olive leaf tell Noah?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The olive leaf in the dove's beak was God's way of informing Noah that the land was again supporting plant life. Noah had not yet looked out of the ark at this point. He sent the dove out 7 days later and it did not return. Only then did Noah remove the covering of the ark to look out and he saw dry land. However, he remained on the ark another 6 weeks before God allowed him to leave.

How big was Noah's Ark about how many animals were on the ark and where did it happen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

OpinionThe Bible says that the Flood covered the whole world, at least to the top of the mountain called Ararat in the Old Testament days, which may or may not be the Mount Ararat we know today.

According to the Genesis 7:2, there were 2 of each kind of "unclean" animal, 7 of each type of "clean" animal--those which would be used for sacrifices and for food. None of the 3 pairs were harmed (sacrificed) until they had used up the 7th one of all clean animals for their needs of clothing and food. By then the 3 pair had offspring.

These animals were "after their kinds," e.g. "canine" would have been the kind that became wolves and dogs. Logically, they would have been the young of each kind, requiring far less room and food than adult animals.

Genesis 6:15 indicates that Noah's ark is approximately 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high (assuming a cubit of 18 inches), which is about half as big as the Queen Mary.

It happened in pre-Flood Suruppak near post-Flood Ur just north of Kuwait and pushed the ark up the valley 520 miles to Mount Ararat.
