Significant Events In Noah's Life

370 Words1 Page

Have you ever heard of a guy named Noah? Noah was a very important man and lived a great life. He had a wonderful family, a wife called Naamah and three sons called Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah went through some really though times but God was always by his side to help him through it. One of the significant events in Noah's life is when God sent down the great flood, he sent down this flood because the world was becoming a terrible place. God told Noah to warn the wicked people of the land that a flood was coming and if you love and trust God you will not die in the flood. Of course the people did not believe Noah and they tried to kill him. God than told Noah to build an ark for you and your family to live in during the flood. While Noah was building the ark the people who did not listen to Noah watched him build it and laughed at him, Noah explained once more why he was building the ark but the people just mocked him.
God then sent down a gentle wind to dry up the water, the boat washed onto a high mountain and Noah's family waited there until the flood was dry. Noah's relationship with God was very strong, unlike the wicked people of the land they trusted each other and Noah obeyed God. Noah loved God with all his might and would never want to do anything to hurt him or let him down. Although Noah had ups and downs in his life we can learn that we should love God and our neighbours so that they can love us back and won't hurt us. Noah's experiences with God can help us to relate with him because Noah never fought with God and neither should we, we should always love God and never disobey him. Noah's story is why there is a rainbow in the sky now, the rainbow is gods promise to Noah that he will never send down another flood to judge human sin

    However, there was a time that this distinction was taken to the ultimate extreme. One man alone followed God among the multitudes in the civilization that arose after the fall. His name was Noah. Genesis 6 tells us that “Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation.” Because of mans wickedness, He decided to send a flood to destroy that wickedness and to kill everyone on the earth except Noah and his family. The narrative of this drastic event in Genesis 6-9 show that God will not tolerate great wickedness forever. Several events including the flood, Sodom and Gomorra, Nineveh, and Babel show us who God is. He is a God of righteousness and justice and hates the wickedness of the world. Ed Hindson and Gary Yates explain that the events surrounding the tower of Babel indicate that God blesses those who obey and scatters those who disobey. As believers, we can see that God desires a heart that seeks Him above all else. Even when everyone else in the world has turned away from God, each of us must stand strong in our faith just as Noah did. When our country is turning from God and redefining God’s intended purpose for us and creation, we know His heart and that we must follow no matter how strong the current is raging against

    The flood story that is told in The Epic of Gilgamesh has the same principle as the story of Noah told in the book of Genesis in the Bible, but there are some major differences. In the epic, Utnapishtim is immortal and, although Noah was extremely old when he died, he wasn’t immortal. Utnapishtim was a human, but because he saved mankind, Enlil said, “Hitherto Utnapishtim has been a human, now Utnapishtim and his wife shall become like us gods.” (Gilgamesh 11.206-207) In the Biblical story, God told Noah that he was going to send a flood and asked him specifically to make the ark in order to save mankind. In Genesis 6:13-22, God tells Noah why he’s flooding the earth and exact instructions to build the ark. “13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[a] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[b] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[c] high all arou...

    Other similarities closely tie these two Flood Myths almost mirroring the symbolic ideas within both stories. The number seven is very significant in both of these stories. In the story of Utnapishtim, the Boat he built was finished on the seventh day. Also the rain that flooded the earth, stopped on the seventh day. In the Hebrew story of Noah, the waters of the flood were upon the earth seven days after Noah constructed the arc. After the earth was flooded and the rain subsided, during two seven day instances, Noah sent forth a dove to determine if dry land existed nearby. The two stories also showed that the Gods gave specific instructions down to the dimension regarding the construction of the two boats and both men were ordered to keep the blood line of animals alive by sparing the lives of a male a female being of each species.

    In the Bible Noah is referred to as “a preacher of righteousness” (Peter 2:5). Noah is a man of God who receives warning of a great flood to cover the planet, sent by God to wash the sins of mankind clean. When Noah builds the Ark, his wife and three sons board. The rest of the Earth, and humanity is drowned with Gods anger. When the waters resides, the Ark is said to have come to rest in the Mountains of Ararat. (Gen. 8.4) The Quran goes into depth about the dialogue that Noah had with the “wicked”. He successfully converts several faithful to his Ark, but his wife and one sons reject Noah, and drown in the rain. When the flood resides, the Quran says that Noah, and his Ark come to rest on Mount Judi, which is a specific peak of the Ararat mountain range in modern day Turkey. Contrary to the Bible, and although certain Islamic scholars claim different interpretations, the Quran does not teach that there was a global flood, just a severe flooding of the region. Noah story changes depending on who is telling it, and the inconsistencies between scriptures continue into the times of
