blessing

All animals ate grass back then. God would have ensured those beings He wanted to live will live. Afterall He is All Powerful. How easy for Him to make plants to grow quickly. Have you seen what happens in the empty deserts after a heavy downpour of rain?

Remember that population was small back then. Most people today live near water or valleys which are prone to death by flooding. They likely could not get to high ground quickly because flood happened quickly and no cars then. God will only allow his chosen ones to live.

When all of the animals got out of the Ark, what did they have to eat? The carnivores would have had nothing to eat because all the animals that were not on the ark would have been killed. The herbivores would have had nothing to eat because all the plant life would have died. In a worldwide flood, all the fresh water would have got mixed with the sea water, so fish which live in either one or the other would have died. It looks to me as though the author of this particular myth did not think of these things. Has anyone got any comments on this, please?

Having faith in God is a great thing because through him all things are possible I think God was please to find out that Noah choose God as top priority over everything for he did not choose to build his home first but he choose to make a place of worship for God I understand that God place in my life is first foremost than any one or anything I like his promise that he will not destroy earth again by water

It is interesting what the of Noah at that time and howNoah and his family survived in the Ark

The dove as a sign of the Holy Spirit gives us the assurance of our day to day living Its through it direction that we understand the abation of the conseqences in life

And the ark in accordance to the perfectness of the Lord and His direction rested on the mountains of Ararat This shows that God being the coordinator of the Ark knew the standing position of the Ark of which noah hand no idea

this didnt catch my eyes until i started to read my Bile through again dont know why i didnt see this the first time around as i start to read the 2 time around i see things things i really missed the first time so if any one has some good answer on this would like to know maybe it does have something to do about future events for us all i know know it makes u want to now more about all the Bible

I Know dat God will save those dat trusted in him in time like this. He would never allow water to eat us up. Praise thy Lord for he is good

God Almighty has put things in place on Earth for us.He desires worship and if we,His choice creation, fail to do so, nature itself, will not cease to glorify Him.Noah's worship ascended to Heaven and it was pleasant to the Father; so to our life ought to be a living sacrifice burning and permeating the heavens as a sweet smelling savor unto God.

Just where are the mountains of Ararat or Armenia located?

What we need to know is that the bloodlineof the serpent son cain had father nothing but children as himself evil thoughts. Ad far as the animal they were given as sacrifice unto God and if he no longer wanted to recieve those offendshe had all the piwer to destroy the man with the beast as he did. Thank God for Jesus.

To Oracle's comment:
For alll have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. ( Romans 3:23) God had a purpose for His creation. It was perfect. Mankind was tempted by Satan, manifested in the form of a serpent. We knew the will of God, but chose to disobey it and thus sinned. We were no longer perfect as God is perfect. One flaw causes something to be imperfect. That imperfection doesn't go away, but worsens( Genesis 8:21). That is why we needed a Savior who was man yet perfect. God sent His Son, Jesus to die for our sins so that if we place our sins on Him, He will forgive us. Acknowledge sinful condition, humble yourself, repent, and ask forgiveness through Jesus Christ and you will receive everlasting life with Him in Heaven.

This is the mystery of Godliness, God made a convenant with man here, from henceforth I will nomore punish all men for the sin of one man, rather every man shall answer for himself only.

This is thrilling glory of God in manifestation

Everything produces after its own kind : wether good or bad : Cannot change the weather ,4 seasons will always be : cannot change what God has ordained :always will be day & night.In Heaven Jesus Light no night !!!!

My peak of interest was the geological location in which the ark came to rest. The mountains of Aratrat of Turkey.

noah was really faithful when people
were making fun of him.
jesus is mighty strong to send rain
down so hard so fast.

I refuse to believe that every single human God killed was evil. And what the heck did the animals do to deserve death?

RAVEN eats CARCASSES, while DOVE eats SEEDS. That was the reason why the RAVEN went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. Because there were CARCASSES of both humans and animals to which RAVEN was having feast at that time. While the dove being a SEED eater, couldn't found her rest yet outside the ark on her first trip because there were no trees that could be found to where she could lay her feet and no seeds were on the ground as her food. On the second trip, the dove found a tree outside the ark so she went back with it's leaf to the ark because although there were trees and yet there were no seeds yet for her to eat. He never came back to the ark on her third trip because at last by then she had found seeds on the ground to which she could feed herself. That's my analysis.

It seems as if there is a certain meaning behind Noah's sending forth of a raven before sending the dove. I mean it never says that the raven returned. And did it fly until the waters were dried up enough to land somewhere. No, it just says it flies until the water is dried up. And why wouldn't it eventually bring some kind of evidence back, as did the dove, of their being able to get off the ark?
Is there a principle God wants to convey to us using the raven and the dove?
Is this a foreshadowing of a future event?

Genesis 8:22 God is faithful to His word, hence we see that seasons, seedtimes, harvests, etc, have not failled mankind despite scientists predictions to the contrary. Hence I hereby encourage all Christians to trust God and His word to serve Him, give to His work, widows, men of God, poor and needy, orphans, etc, who shall reward us unfailingly to the glory and praises of His name.

God heartbroken and discussed held his creation accountable for his acts. He did not change his plan b/c he did not kill us he gave us another chance.

God is really faithful to the righteous. In Noah's life: He, and his family were the only ones spared. His family survived because of Him. We too, in the same way should stand out, both for ourselves and our future generation.

It looks like Noah couldn't rely on the raven for surveying the land.

Global warming, nuclear war, massive infectious diseases, yet mankind has survived and conquered many of them. This proves God's promise to Noah is valid. Man needs both science and faith. We need like believers of all faiths to spread this truth to give ourselves and our descendants hope.

Wesley and myself agree almost totally, despite our investigations were done independently. Especially after the 2000 and 2012 scares of another great mass destruction. The only thing I have to add is that mankind was specifically created to prevent another titanic asteroid or massive comet destruction. Not for our sakes but for all of God's creatures it has taken God so long to evolve. No scientist can explain why mankind evolved so quickly from apes unless it was divinely done. Of all the flood stories, Babylonian or Greek, only the Hebrew contains God's promise which is why Israel survived to bring God's promise to Noah. The Hebrews have survived against all odds throughout human history for a reason.

Nerak, I don't think they ate meatloaf, because they wouldn't want to kill one of the cattle. They might have had pizza, but without sausage or pepperoni.

The fact is that the earth is warming up-the manmade heating comes from chemtrails-God does not like that and the earth will be destroyed Revelation 21:1 \"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea\" On the Ark many say that the people as well as the animals were in a state of hibernation.
