Noah’s Ark Genesis 6:5—9:17
The full
story description from the bible verses. Better read them thoroughly before the
sharing.
This will make the sharing much funnier.
Biblical Noah's Ark Life-Size Replica Sails in the
Netherlands
“Johan
says that only about half the visitors were Christians, and that it would
sometimes lead to great conversations.”
It was built by the Johan
Huibers, Dutch creationist and millionaire building contractor, after he dreamt
that Holland would be flooded once again.
He used the ancient
measurement of the cubit - the length of a man's arm from the elbow to the middle
fingertips, according to Biblical.
In Genesis, described the Ark
as 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits. It took only him and his
team of five for more than four years to complete.
He has filled it with a plastic
menagerie of animals - also a few species of live birds, geese and roosters -
to recreate the story of Noah for paying visitors and to make The Bible more
'touchable'.
The boat was constructed by welding
the metal hulls of several old barges together and then using Scandinavian pine
for the skin.
As Johan Huibers sees it, his full size replica ark is
not only a message to unbelievers or Christians who doubt Genesis. It is a
message to all Christians to do something with our faith. He says: “It is so
important that we pass on our faith and what we have learned on to others, not
keep it to ourselves. Even though you are not perfect yet, yes, even when you
might miss the mark in many aspects, just put hands and feet to your
Christianity and put it into practice.”
