Noah Emmerich

Erica: Hi Noah, I was just telling the kids about how God gives all of us “do overs”and about the big thing God wanted you to do. Ryan: One day God told me he had a giant do-over planned for the World. He told me to build a boat that I called the “Ark”. Erica: How big was the Ark? Ryan: Well, it was huge. It was about 1 ½ football fields long and higher than a 4 story building. It had a deck that went around the boat that could hold 20 basketball courts. It was big & it was sweet.…

Retell of Noahs Ark Story In the biblical text of Noahs ark. God saw all the evil of the beings on Earth and how nobody was worshipping and fearing him except for one family and that was Noahs family. One day when Noah was praying to God, he said “I am going to put an end to the people of the earth because there is lots of evil in the world because of them, you must build an ark and fill the ark with two of every animal, every type of food and your family because I am sending a great flood”.…

Canaan’s descendants would be fulfilled just how Noah prophesied it would. This judgment would even be delayed for an extra forty years because of Israel’s initial refusal to go in and conquer the land the land of Canaan. This caused the Israelites to wander in the desert until that generation died off. Actually, what appeared as a delay was no delay at all but simply God’s grace. God in His mercy always sends signposts of coming judgment before it happens. Noah preached in his day before the…

sent two of every animal to the ark. Then God told Noah to board the ark and God sealed the door behind them, then it started raining and the windows of heaven opened. And the seas burst forth and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but it took over 150 days for the water to subside. The Noah sent out a raven and it did not return, then he sent a dove, and it returned with an olive branch. Then he sent the dove out again and it did not return then Noah knew that the earth was dry. There are…

Topoi of revealed secrets occur in over twenty-five ANE sources, ranging from Sumer, Babylon, and Persia in the east to Egypt and Greece in the west. In the following subsection is three positive-revelation sources possibly holding a parent-child relationship with Second Temple writings. The second subsection contains two for negative revelation. The three most likely sources for parent-child relationships are (1) the Ascent of Enmeduranki, (2) the Assyrian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, and…

Comparison of Noah and Utnapishtim’s Floods The stories of “Noah and the Flood” and “Gilgamesh” can compare fairly similarly. On the other hand they have their fair share of differences. Both stories can be traced back to ancient times. These stories come from the same idea of a flood wiping out the human race. The stories have two different styles of text, one with a Hebrew scriptural text and one is an ancient Mesopotamian epic. That’s just the start of the comparisons of these two tales.…

survived. A similarity between the Genesis flood and the Greece flood is a higher power coming to the hero of the story and warning him about the flood, however in Genesis the higher power was a god and in Greece it was a titan. Another similarity is both Noah and Deucalion built an ark and both them and their wives survived. A difference is the cause of the flood. The Ancient Greece flood was caused by a titan giving fire to people, and in Genesis it was because God thought the earth was…

Melchizedek There is much mystery surrounding the famous figure of Melchizedek. Who was he? Was he known by any other names? Could he be Jesus, or was he just a picture, and a foreshadowing of someone yet to come? These questions have been pondered throughout the ages, and his person has been thrown into many writings, such as Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, as a symbol of divine intervention, and mystery. Melchizedek, whose name means “King of Righteousness,” is a figure of much…

I feel that this reason for destroying mankind fits in more with the story of Noah than with the story of Utnapishtim. Unlike the story of Noah though, the gods in the story of Deucalion resemble the gods in the story of Utnapishtim. They also seem to possess human-like traits—arguing amongst one another, deceiving each other, etc. Unlike Noah and Utnapishtim, Deucalion and Pyrrha are not warned about the flood and survived due to their boat landing on top of…

Noah and Utnapishtim both show appropriate love to the divine beings and are compensated. Utnapishtim offers a penance to the divine beings, however Enlil turns out to be extremely furious in light of the fact that he is avoided from this penance and that Utnapishtim got away from his wishes for all man to be obliterated. Ea persuades Enlil that Utnapishtim got away all alone and after that Enlil stipends Utnapishtim the endowment of godlikeness. In the Genesis story, God orders Noah to leave…
