STORY OF NOAH

 STORY OF NOAH

Many hundreds, maybe thousands of years passed. The people who had descended from Adam wandered around the earth. Many of these people lived strange and sinful lives They had forgotten and turned away from the true God. God was very sad when He saw how they lived le was sad that man whom He had created had turned away from Him He decided to destroy all the people on the Earth, He decided to flood the earth.



 However, there was one man named Noah with whom God was happy. God warned Noah that He was Ga into going to send a flood He asked Noah a to build a big ark He told Noah, the ark and take with you two types of every living creature, every animal and bird/Noah called his wife, sons and all their families together and they built the ark. He gathered up two types of every living creature.

When the ark was complete and Noah and his family with all types of living creatures were safe inside the ark God sent rain. It rained and rained for 40 days The waters continued to rise, it covered the tree tops and it rose above the mountains. All around was dark and dreary but Noah and his family with all the living creatures were safe and dry inside the ark.



Everything in the country all around Noah was destroyed. There was no sign of any living thing. After 40 days the rains stopped. Slowly, slowly the waters began to go down and the ark finally came to rest on Mt. Ararat One day Noah sent out a raven to find dry land but the bird came back. Then Noah sent out a dove. The dove also came back. A second time Noah sent out the dove. Later it came back with a leaf in its beak. Noah then knew that they would be safe, that the land was drying up. A third time he sent out the dove and this time the dove did not come back Then Noah opened the ark and went out with his wife, his sons and their families. All the living things came out of the ark. Noah gave thanks and praised God for protecting him and saving him from the flood.

Then God said to Noah, "I will never again destroy every living creature as I have done."

Then God said, "I shall put a rainbow in the sky as a sign that never again will I allow the waters of a flood to destroy all people and all living things."

God then blessed Noah and his sons and He told them that the world was theirs.

The sun had barely risen when Abraham stirred from his tent, his heart heavy with the weight of an unthinkable command. The voice of God had come to him in the stillness of the night: "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." The words echoed in his mind like a haunting refrain. Isaac—the long-awaited promise, the child of his old age.
