This posting covers my second visit to see the recreation of the life size Ark that Noah constructed following the instruction given to him by God. This posting covers the display on the third deck and covers just the Flood display. The living quarters were covered in posting 2. This posting will be mostly photographs and enlargement so you can read what I have been looking at and you will be seeing what I saw and read. To begin with Noah constructed the Ark because God told him to, gave him instruction as to size and materials to use and told him that the world was going to be destroyed by a flood so the logical place to start this post is with the exhibit called "THE FLOOD" and details what happened outside the Ark after Noah and his family came inside and God shut the door and compares the world view and the biblical view.
Stop and think a moment about that question "What happened outside the Ark?' Noah and his family lived under scorn for many many years from the people around him. And you can imagine how many times they were asked what they were doing. Why are you doing this? Who told you do build this? Who is this God you say talked to you? How come we have never heard him or seen him? What is a flood? One thing I have always thought would have been a most interesting thing to have witnessed was when all the animal started showing up in the area of the Ark. Visualize if you a will a pair of Hippos or elephants strolling through your yard or a pair of lions, tigers, snakes, lizards, animals of all sorts including dinosaurs hanging out in you community for a few days. I suspect a few people had sleepless nights and days of frustration as they saw their property and crops trampled by all these beast. God brought the animals to the Ark. Noah did not have to go collect them. Can you just imagine what that must have looked like and sounded like? I suspect you had a few nervous people around there. I suspect some of them may have started thinking perhaps Old Noah isn't so crazy after all. Noah and his family stayed faithful and labored on and on and finally God told Noah and his family to go in and after all the animals and birds were in God shut the door. Now imagine when the rains started and the ground started opening up and water gushing out rising higher and higher and people went to the Ark wanting to get in but the door was shut. They missed their opportunity because Noah had been witnessing to them for years and they just made fun of him. We have millions of people doing the same thing today by not accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Just as the Ark was the means of salvation at that time and the door to the Ark was the means to come in to safety by believing in God so Jesus is the door to salvation if people acknowledge their sins, ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus as their Saviour.

If the Bible really meant to a local flood then....
This was a very interesting display as each of the blue circular paddles had a question on one side and you turn the paddle around and the answer was on the reverse side.

Representation of the Grand Canyon
I have visitged the Grand Canyon several times and the most recent time I went to the North side which is perhaps more startling view than tha south side. I marvel at the power and magistry of our God.
You can see my posting of my visits to the Grand Canyon, The Peterfied Forst and Yellowstone National Park in past posting of my blog. Grandpa Bill and Lady Blue Travel.
