Noah’s Ark Update
October 28, 2008
Ark replica built by Dutch creationist Johan Huibers.
Yesterday while working on a new sermon, I ran across two articles about the great flood of Noah’s day (Genesis 6-8). The first one is called The Genesis Flood: An Interpretive Key to the Past. This concluding paragraph gives you a flavor for the whole article, which I highly recommend:
Noah’s Flood must be given its proper place in the history of the world and in Biblical history. Ignoring or dismissing its historicity impugns what God has plainly said, a serious sin indeed. The spiritual lessons are obvious as well. God is gracious and merciful, but takes sin very, very seriously. Let us give the Flood its proper place in our Biblical studies and as an important factor in developing a Biblical worldview.
And this recent article is called, simply, Noah’s Ark Update. It surveys the questions surrounding where the ark landed (concluding that Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey remains the most likely location) and summarizes the ongoing search for the ark.
The picture is of an ark replica (1/5th the size of Noah’s ark) built by Dutch creationist Johan Huibers.
