Who was Noah in the Bible?
Most of us know the Bible’s story about Noah and the great flood. But many don’t realize that there were two great floods. The world in Noah’s day was flooded with evil. The number of people that remembered the God of creation, perfection and love had dwindled down to one, Noah. Out of all the people only Noah was left. God’s response to this severe situation would be a 120 year long last chance, during which He had Noah build a graphic illustration of His message. A huge boat on dry land was something most people didn’t understand, so they laughed and made a mockery of it. Don’t we sometimes seem to laugh at things we don’t understand? During the time it took Noah to build the Ark these people couldn’t see the writing on the wall. Had they known what was about to happen they would have been turning from their ways immediately. As in Noah’s time, even today people don’t seem to have a clue as to what is about to happen, when Jesus returns and everyone will be judged according to God. What lesson did we learn from Noah?
Many of us have problems sticking to any project, whether or not it is directed by God. It’s interesting that the length of time Noah’s obedience took in building the Ark, was greater than the entire life span of people today. The only comparison we can make to a long term project is our life span. We have our entire lives to live in, and accept God’s grace. An entire lifetime that should be in obedience and gratitude.
I tell you the truth when I say that there will be no atheists after death. On the day they stand before God in judgment, they will all be believers. Do you know God? Do you know Jesus?
Are you certain that you are going to heaven? If the answer is no or your not really sure and there is something stirring inside you at this very moment to do this, then all you have to do is say a small prayer and you can be assured of your name being added to the Book of Life. Go to the prayer of salvation and pray the words out loud and believe in your heart and you will be saved.
Noah’s story is told in Genesis 5:29 – 10:32. He is also mentioned in 1 Chronicals 1:3, 4; Isaiah 54:9; Ezekiel 14:14, 20; Matthew 24:37, 38; Luke 3:36; 17:26, 27; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20 and 2 Peter 2:5
