Story of Noah's Ark and Faith

When they boarded the ship and people watched,

suddenly, God's Almighty promise came to pass.

The sky began to rain, and it was no ordinary rain.

It was torrential rain.

Have you seen a bucket? The kind you pour onto the ground,

how the water comes down?

That's how rain came down from the sky, like a waterfall.

And We opened the gates of heaven

with pouring water.

And We caused the earth's springs to gush forth, and the

waters met for a matter

already decreed, and We carried him.

The ship rose.

The Ark rose, and We carried him upon one of

planks

and nails. How great was God's salvation on that

day. Now imagine the scene of the people.

People began to run. At first, they took shelter in their homes

from the rain, thinking their homes would protect them.

When the water started to rise, they climbed onto their homes. When

they saw the water would rise over their homes, they began to run

and scream and shout.

Where would they go? They went to the mountains. Everyone started

heading for the mountains. Whoever drowned, drowned.

Whoever did not make it, did not make it.

Whoever did make it started running. Where? To the mountains.

Some of them even left their children behind.

They did not make it.

The mother left her child to drown as she fled, wanting to run

to save herself as she ran

with them as she sailed through

waves.

The waves that day

were as high as mountains, shaped like mountains.

God, what a terrifying sight.

By God, it was horrifying. No one was surviving except this ship.

People were yelling and screaming.

It sailed through waves

like mountains.

And Noah, at that moment,

his fatherly instincts overcame him

right away. He asked about his sons.

He asked Ham

and Shem

and Japheth, "Where is your brother?"

"Where is your brother?"

Who was their brother? His name was Canaan.

He said, "Where is your brother?"

They said, "He didn't board with us, Father. He didn't come with us. He

knew he hadn't believed him, so Noah boarded the ship

looking for him. Looking for whom? Looking for his son.

People were drowning, people were screaming, and people were running to

the mountains, and he was searching for his son.

"My son!"

"My son, where are you?" Imagine Noah.

God said

to him, "Except those against whom the decree has already been passed."

That's it. Noah began calling his son,

"My son, my son!" He saw him.

The boy saw his father, and the boy was running.

Where was he going? He was heading toward the mountain.

"My son!"

My son, come aboard.

With us, even though he knows he must board.

But he is a father.

The son runs, and the father calls to him. The son runs toward the mountain, and the father

calls to him until the water rose above

the mountaintops.

The son drowned

before his father,

and the waves came between them.

It was a tragedy for

Noah, peace be upon him, but

this is God's way.

Faith and disbelief separate a son from

his father.

The ark sailed for a time amid those crashing waves,

and the rain

continued falling for 40 days.
