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.

What did the meat-eating animals eat after Noah's Flood?
We have to either look for a miracle that is not mentioned in the Bible, or accept that the biblical story of the Flood is only a myth.

because he didnt left
Answer:
If this is inquiring as to "why Jesus ascended into heaven"... there may be a number of answers that apply.
In some of His parables, Jesus made mention of His leaving [which many folks failed... and still fail, today] to pick up on.
"...He added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come." (Luke 19:11-13)
To just skim the surface of this parable... the "nobleman," of course, is "Christ." And the "far country" is "heaven." Such "parables" are "prophecies," which Jesus must FULFILL. He has indeed fulfilled part of it and "gone to the Far Country." But, He could never fulfill the "coming back" part of the prophecy, if He hadn't "left earth."
There are also His "ten servants" to consider, as to why Jesus left the earth.
This "number" isn't in keeping with Jesus' "twelve" apostles -- but He used the number "ten" in another parable of the "Ten Virgins." The number which lends itself better to represent ALL of His "faithful" who have "occupied" the earth since He left, because Jesus' parable spans the entire time He left, to the time of the "Nobleman's" return from the "Far Country."
From this aspect, Jesus' ascension into heaven creates a training ground for those He left "physically" alone on earth. A test of "faith" arises for His servants by Jesus' "physical absence"... and the advent of the "indwelling of the Holy Spirit."
A test that every one of His "servants" have been exercised and trained by down through the centuries since He left the earth.
These prophetic parables conclude with the "bridegroom's and nobleman's" return... whereupon there are "consequences" to be dealt with, as to how these servants and wedding guests fared in His absence. There are "rewards" to be handed out in accordance with the works they achieved [or failed to, as the case may be] while He was gone.
It's one thing to behave oneself in His "physical presence"... and quite another story "when the Master is away." In other words -- CAN WE BE TRUSTED TO HANDLE THE MASTER'S UNIVERSAL AFFAIRS -- FOR ALL ETERNITY?
So, Jesus' ascension into heaven creates a "training ground to build faith" for His servants, whom He tells to "Occupy till I come."
The word translated "occupy" doesn't mean to "plop down somewhere and wait." A better translation is "Trade" til He comes back. He's given each of His servants certain strengths and talents with which to work... to increase and improve himself in Godly character development... and to help, teach and edify others in their "trading" and handling of the Master's duties while He's gone.
Another reason for Jesus "leaving the earth" lies in the inherent prophecy of the "high priest" in the ancient sacrificial rites... who "entered into the Most Holy Place" once a year [symbolically went to heaven] to "intercede on behalf of the sins of the people directly to God." This prophecy, too, had to be fulfilled.
"Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession." (Heb.4:14)
Contrary to the teachings of some religions... we are to confess our sins directly to God through our "Great High Priest" in heaven, who sits at the right hand of the Father -- not through the intercession of "other men."
"For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
"Let us therefore COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (verses 15-16)
Jesus' leaving earth established the necessity to maintain constant communication through prayer with the Source of our faith, hope and strength until the "Nobleman" returns with our salvation.
"...and unto them that LOOK FOR HIM shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." (Heb.9:28)
Ultimately, perhaps, Jesus' "leaving the earth" is for the sake of the "building and development of His servants' Faith, Trust, Character, Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding through His Word -- the Bible -- the Truth of which His Holy Spirit reveals to the humble, faithful servant's heart.
"...to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and TREMBLETH AT MY WORD." (Isa.66:2)
Jesus left the earth so that through His Holy Spirit... His servants might learn to grow, develop and stand on their own, AS ONE WITH HIM.
Jesus' disciples took strength from Him while He walked with them. But the development of their "faith" began when He left... and the Holy Spirit entered them... and "bold inner-strength" was born in them with Christ Living IN THEM.
"At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." (John 14:20)
Jesus left the earth, that "faith" and "spiritual development" might flourish in His "occupying" servants.
He's coming back to "reward" them for whatever works of faith [or lack thereof] they accomplish in His absence. His servants are supposed to be "trading up" with their gifts and talents on behalf of their Master... to win others over to His Truth.
"For what is our Hope, our Joy, or the Crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when He comes? IS IT NOT YOU? Indeed, YOU ARE OUR GLORY and JOY." (I Thess.2:19-20 NIV)
When will the earth start over again like it did in Noah and the great flood?
No there will not be a second start for mankind , after Jesus comes a second time. Then there will be a trial and the final judgment.
Noah who built the ark was Noah small or tall man?
Noah was very tall (apparently pre-flood humans grew taller than we now do) He was right around 11 foot 6 inches in height. Amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt and his team found Noah's grave in the Agri region of Turkey (South of Mt. Ararat) and were the first to open the tomb with the Turkish government's approval and supervision. They knew it was Noah's tomb because of the local's ancient traditional information and stories as well as from the location name. The town is called the Village of Eight. In addition to this, the Turkish government officially recognized and protected this location as the tomb of the ancient family that disembarked the ark. Furthermore, the outer wall or cliff face of the tomb was painted with depictions of the eight figures of the Biblical family. Inside the tomb were discovered two very large sarcophagi that were open topped; they had no lid. Inside each sarcophagus was an 11 and a Half foot skeleton. One was male and one was female. The tomb had indeed laid untouched until the day it was open (This archaeological exploration was done in the 1980s) as each burial box was full of, all round the skeletons, a vast array of precious jewels and gems of all sorts. Ron Wyatt was allowed to take measurements and make notes and also allowed to remove and take with him, one of Noah's thumb bones. Unfortunately the Turkish government failed to keep the location secure. When Mr. Wyatt returned some months later to take pictures and more specimens he found the tomb completely looted.
What did God promise when he saw the sacrifice of Noah and his family?
He would not flood the world again with water
When God destoryed the earth in Noah days did he leave evil spirits behind?
Yes... He did and some are still here, others have been destroyed but some still remain...
REMAINING EVIL SPIRITS:
Ethrania - has the power to control th earth.
Aquemblem - has the power to control water.
Blazerafia - has the power to control fire.
Mysteriola - has the power to control air.
but one evil spirit controls everything (she obviously isn't as powerful as God) She does her evil schemes behind God's back... She creates all bad things like Twisters, Earthquakes, Lightning, Thunder and Gigantic waves.
When god is not looking, She does it all... and her name is...

Where in the bible that it says that Noah had four kids?
Noah had three sons, Genesis 6:10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Also see Genesis 10.
What happened to the fish during the Great Flood in the Bible?
Opinion
Firstly, it is not known how salty the oceans were prior to the flood. It is highly likely that they were far less salty than today in which case the flood posed no problem to fish.
Secondly, it is not known if the fish of the time were particularly suited to only salt water or only fresh water. Again, the flood would have posed no problem if they were not able to survive in one or the other.
Thirdly, it is entirely possible that fish survived in areas or pockets of salt or fresh water - even if some of their kind survived, only a couple of each would need to survive to continue the kind.
Fourthly, assuming fish were the same as today, it is known that fresh or salt water fish can survive for periods in water of the opposite type. They are also extremely adaptable.
Overall, there are many plausible possibilities for how fish could have survived the Flood.
Is it true that the unicorn was left behind when Noah left in the ark?
That is a charming fable. But actually, both unicorns and Noah's ark are fictitious.
Another answer:
The "fabled" unicorn [a white horse with the single horn protruding from its forehead] as most people think of it today... is not the "unicorn" mentioned in the King James Version of the Bible.
"God brought him [Israel] forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn..." (Num.24:8 KJV).
"Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?" (Job 39:9 KJV)
Of this "unicorn"... the Literal Bible[LIT] says of these and other such King James passages:
"Will consent to be THE WILD OX your servant or spend the night by your feed-trough?"
"the wild ox" (r'em; reh-ame'): "...a wild bull..." (Strong's Definitions).
Young's Bible [YGB] says: "Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?"
Darby's Bible [DRB] says: "Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee...".
The Living Bible [LVB] says: "Will the wild ox be your happy servant...".
So, it wasn't the fabled one-horned horse "unicorn" that Noah took [in male and female groups of "seven"] into the ark with him:
"Take along SEVEN PAIRS of each animal that I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take ONE PAIR of each of the others... There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that every kind of living creature will survive the flood." (Gen.7:2-3 NLT New Living Translation)
Yet, while the word "unicorn" doesn't survive the translations of the Bible beyond the King James Version... the name "Noah" does. And is verified by Jesus Christ and other passages in the New Testament.
"When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day." (Matt.24:37 NLT)
"...right up to the time Noah entered his boat." (verse 38).
"...Noah entered his boat and the flood came to destroy them all." (Luke 17:27 NLT)
"It was by Faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood..." (Heb.11:7 NLT).
The world abounds with fables and mythical tales of unicorns, superheroes and many other fictitious things to entertain both child and adult alike these days.
The Bible, however [which much of the world today also "believes" to be a compilation of myths and fables], tells us that God's Word is TRUTH [John 17:17]. It tells us that Noah built an ark to survive that flood.
But the "unicorns" of the "King James Version" of the Bible that Noah took into the ark with him were actually, according to the originally inspired manuscripts, "wild oxen" or "wild bulls." They were not left behind... and they still roam the earth today.
How did Noah's Ark get its name?
From God's chosen and righteous servant Noah, who with his 3 sons, built the Ark according to God's specifications, saving these men and their wives along with all land animals.
Is Noah's Ark on top of Mt Aravat?
Not too long ago, I was reading a magazine and I saw that scientists had found something that could be Noah's ark on Mt. Ararat. God Bless, DWWJ316
Some believe that Noah could not have gathered every animal on the earth and build the ark at the same time, he only had animals from his local region. Others would say that Noah didn't do the gathering, but God summoned them to the ark. Exactly how some of the animals who would've been blocked by water made it to the ark is another question, though if God could allow Peter to walk on water, He could've done the same for the other animals.
The ark landed only once, according to the Bible. The animals would have all had to walk back to where they lived, or be transported by God by whatever method He used to get them there in the first place.
Beam me up ScottySome swam back.all the continents lumped together is called Pangaea. Google video has cool vids of this topic and there's quit a bit of interest about the realness of this "theory". If pangaea existed then all the animals would have walked. I find it odd how the animals in the waters were to die as well, you'd think the sharks would've had a whale of a time feeding on the dead carcasses floating about. I think more occurred than just water flooding the land mass. I purport that the earth increased in size and the continents blasted apart, hence dead fish lol. Then maybe god snuck over to north America and created a few moose, some eagles and those pesky but cute sea lions lol. Of course there is the Bering sea where animals could have walked. Its not impossible for god to do anything, he may have just materialized them in the ark, after building an ark in a desert what would surprise you next lol. Since the bible occupies all of its time in the middle east what went on in north America south America and Australia etc.. didn't matter and god did what he did elsewhere. With every good and great plan there are always loose ends to clean up somehow.
Do you call descendants of Noah's son Japheth Japhethites?
The location of the sons of Japheth is an important task of identifying the nations of the world and the blessings given to Japheth by God through Noah. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations.
When broadly referring to all the descendants of Japheth, yes, Japhethites is the correct term.
Was Noahs ark bigger than the titanic?
Titanic was with a length of 269 meters longer than the only 190 meters long Noah's Ark.
How old was Abraham when Noah built the Ark?
According to the book of Genesis he was 600 years old at the time of the flood.
Yes, many explorers have seen a large wooden structure, with many rooms and cages, on Mt. Ararat. One even dragged back wooden beam, which was tested and dated.
But will there ever be positive proof that this is Noah's ark? I don't think so. Christianity is a religion of faith.
Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
How does Deucalion compare to Noahs Ark?
Deucalion is basically the Noah in Greek Mythology, only he is warned by his father of a flood because of Zeus's anger at humanity, and he builds an ark and rides out the flood. Deucalion and his wife through rocks behind them and they turn into the first humans after the flood.
Why was the rainbow used as a covenant to Noah from God?
The rainbow represents a promise by God himself. The promise is that he will never flood the Earth again.
Were there children on Noah's ark?
No. Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, were all grown, married and childless.(Genesis 5:32/Genesis 6:9-12/Genesis 7:6+7). It wasn't until AFTER the flood that they were again commanded to have children and fill the earth (Genesis 9:1).
