Someone once wrote “The Lord saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth, and how every plan devised by his mind was nothing but evil all the time”(Noah and the flood pg.171). “ The uproar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reason of the babel” (the Epic of Gilgamesh pg.147). Both stories from two different cultures but despite the differences in the heroes, their gods, and the flood stories in “Noah and the Flood” and “The Epic of Gilgamesh,” both of these stories appear

Last year, the Hollywood film Noah was released. Obviously I was intrigued, so I called up my Pastor and some friends and planned to go to the cinema to see it. As many sources claimed, I can agree that this is certainly one of the least Biblical, Biblical films ever made. Of course the actual story of Noah in the bible is not very long, so it was to be expected that the producers would add some filler “Hollywood” action, but how much of Noah is actually based on the text that appears in the Old

this specific prophecy are also referred to in the record of nations found in Genesis 10, this record hosts an inventory of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This emanates following the post Noetic Flood directives to “replenish the earth” (Gen. 9), as well as, afore the dispersion (Gen. 11) at Babel. Gen 10:2-5 references the seven lads of Japheth while mid-chapter attends to the four stems of Ham’s offspring (10:6-20); finally referencing the lads of Shem (10:21-31). Ezekiel 38:2 The initial

Noah and Deucalion were two highly honorable men. These men and their families were the only two men out of thousands to survive a fate that changed mankind forever. Noah was a man from Babylon who feared God and found favor in His sight. Deucalion was a man from Greece who pleased the gods and was able to stay pure in his heart. Both men

rampant over the face of the earth and had taken control of the lives of almost everyone on earth, except Noah and his family. Because of the rampant sin, God decided that it was time to wipe out all of creation, but spare Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, Japheth, and their wives because they had remained righteous in his sight. God instructed Noah to build an ark, which he did despite being mocked and ridiculed by the rest of the people on earth. When the time came, Noah collected his family and seven pairs

       "Where did man come from? Where did time begin? Who, or what, created all things?"  These are questions that mankind has sought to answer from the beginning of existence as it is known today.  Many stories and fables have been told and passed down from generation to generation, yet two have survived the test of time and criticism.  The Biblical account in Genesis,  probably written by Moses around 1500 B.C., and the

Ahura [God], builds a Vara [the Ark] to keep there the finest representatives of every kind of animals and plants, and they live there a life of perfect happiness.” After the receding of the Flood, 70 nations arose from Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. In the Avesta account, Yima’s successors became the inheritors of the

The Biblical story of Noah’s Ark is one that most people have heard. The story of Noah starts with God commanding Noah to build an Ark. God saw the evil in the world and decided to destroy man and everything on earth with a great flood. Noah builds an Ark for his family and two of every animal on board. Once the ark is complete, God then sent a flood and everything on earth was destroyed except for Noah, his family and the animals. Noah sent out a dove to see if the water had receded and, when the

Fairly soon after the creation of the world, and towards the beginning of Genesis, comes a story of a worldwide “reset.” More specifically, it is the story of one righteous man and his family who were spared from God’s wrath, among a creation full of sin. While reading this story, an interesting contrast arises between whether the story of Noah and the flood should be seen as a literal historical event or as a figurative allegory. It didn’t take long for God’s perfect creation to become soiled
