That Noah was to build this Ark of wood but he was to pitch it with the bitumen, or the tar, that was so prevalent in that area of the world. I have had the question come up, so I will anticipate it for you since we are limited in our time factor here in the taping studio. The question came up that if there was such amazing technology equal to what we have today, there must have shipyards. God wanted this Ark to be built clear out on dry land, somewhere far removed from water so that it would seem all the more absurd to the unbelieving masses.

Again, I would just like you to picture this, if you will. I am sure others have brought this to your mind, your preachers or teachers. There were big timbers to be handled. So, God had His purpose. On top of that, I think God wanted this to carry on for years so that generation would have ample time to wake up and realize that judgment was coming.

So there were a lot of reasons. So He said, make it of gopher wood. Secondly, remember God is going to have Noah build this thing so that it can withstand tremendous forces. Sitting out there with no destination. All it is going to have to do is survive. And, it will be there for over a year in the water. Genesis chapter 6 verse Now from what reading I have been able to do, there are two lengths to a cubit.

The short cubit was what we would call 18 inches. But they also had the long cubit which could be as much as 24 or 25 inches. So if we use the short cubit and it was to be cubits long, then our rectangle would be feet long by 75 feet wide. And, it was to be 45 feet high from top to bottom.

That would be 15 foot ceilings. In order to bring this into perspective, we have to understand that not until the great battleships of World War II, in fact they used them again in the Persian Gulf the last couple of weeks, the battleships, Wisconsin and the Iowa and one or two others, maybe the New Jersey are 45, ton displacement.

I will never forget that figure! And yet, up until that point in human history that had been the biggest vessel men had constructed. Now, of course, our great oil super tankers are something a little bit longer than this. I think, about feet. But they are huge! Other than that, the Ark is by far the largest floating vessel that mankind has ever had any reason to construct. Four hundred and fifty feet long. Again to help you picture that, a football field is feet from goal to goal.

Here we go another feet beyond that. Like I said it must have implied the use of tremendous timbers. He was a professor of theology at Concordia University in St. He makes the same statement that evidently Noah had to hire many, many outside people. But he made a tremendous illustration that I had never thought of myself and I was impressed with it. He said to just think of all the men that helped Noah in the building of that Ark. Day in and day out, they labored with the sweat of their brow to help build that Ark.

But, when the flood came, they were not inside and they were lost. And then he made this allusion: Today, how many church members are working in the church.

They are busy doing what they think is their duty, but they have never entered into salvation and when judgement comes they are not going to be IN the Ark. They are going to be OUT. I had never really thought of it that way. Here are these men and these people who had helped Noah build the Ark.

They could have enjoyed the safety of it, but instead they mocked this crazy old man building a boat and it has never rained. He goes on with his instructions in verse 16 and not only was it to be a big rectangular box, remember there were no open decks. There are not great openings or windows or anything like that.

I think the top was flat. Up in the top he was to make a window. It was to be a cubit. In other words, 18 inches by18 inches. Then there is to be one door in the side of it. And only one door. Then there were to be first, second and third stories. I am sure you have all read descriptions of how much space was in this vessel. But, I read one illustration that certainly made an impression on me because I can remember when I was young, I used to ship cattle from Montana to Iowa in box cars.

A box car is pretty good sized vehicle. This Ark, one person alluded to it, would have had as much room as a thousand cattle cars! A one hundred car train is pretty big. In fact, the other night I happened to see a coal train go by and it had box cars of coal. That was a long, long train. But, imagine 1, of them! And, that is how much room was in this Ark. Secondly, I like to remind people, no where in Scripture does it say that all the animals were mature.

So, I think we can also take this into account, that no doubt a lot of these pairs of the larger animals probably came in real young. So there are a lot of ways to analyze this thing without doing any violence to Scripture or taking away any of the miraculousness of it.

Going on to verse But, when we get to chapter 12, I am going to use the word until it almost drives you crazy. Because, the covenant that we run across in Genesis chapter 12 is again so basic to understanding all the rest of Scripture.

Of whom is Genesis 10 written? Where does the description of each son begin in Genesis 10? Isidore's identifications for Japheth's sons were repeated in the Historia Brittonum attributed to Nennius. Isidore's identifications also became the basis for numerous later mediaeval scholars, remaining so until the Age of Discovery prompted newer theories, such as that of Benito Arias Montano , who proposed connecting Meshech with Moscow , and Ophir with Peru.

While Genesis 10 was covered extensively by numerous Christian, Jewish and Muslim scholars over many centuries, the phrase "Table" of nations only appeared and became popular in English from the s. In the early 6th century CE, perhaps in Byzantine Constantinople or elsewhere in the Eastern Roman Empire , the commonly-termed "Frankish Table of Nations" was created, likely under the influence of Gothic sources.

It drew heavily from Tacitus's Germania and is notable for its focus on linking the various Germanic peoples and their neighbors of the 6th century to Trojan and Biblical ancestors. The text was eventually transmitted to Frankish Gaul by the 6th to 7th centuries and in the early 9th century CE, likely due to its reference to the ancestry of the Britons, was used as a primary source by an anonymous Welsh scribe for the Historia Brittonum. The Greek Septuagint LXX text of Genesis includes an additional son of Japheth, "Elisa", between Javan and Tubal; however, as this name is found in no other ancient source, nor in I Chronicles, he is almost universally agreed to be a duplicate of Elisha, son of Javan.

The presence of Elisa and of Cainan son of Arpachshad below in the Greek Bible accounts for the traditional enumeration among early Christian sources of 72 names, as opposed to the 70 names found in Jewish sources and Western Christian sources. Beginning in the 9th century with the Jewish grammarian Judah ibn Quraysh, a relationship between the Semitic and Cushitic languages was seen; modern linguists group these two families, along with the Egyptian , Berber , Chadic , and Omotic language groups into the larger Afro-Asiatic language family.

In addition, languages in the southern half of Africa are now seen as belonging to several distinct families independent of the Afro-Asiatic group. Some now discarded Hamitic theories have become viewed as racist; in particular a theory proposed in the 19th century by Speke, that the Tutsi were supposedly of some Hamitic ancestry and thus inherently superior. There exist various traditions in post-biblical and talmudic sources claiming that Noah had children other than Shem, Ham, and Japheth who were born before the Deluge. According to the Quran Hud 42—43 , Noah had another unnamed son who refused to come aboard the Ark, instead preferring to climb a mountain, where he drowned.

Some later Islamic commentators give his name as either Yam or Kan'an. According to Irish mythology , as found in the Annals of the Four Masters and elsewhere, Noah had another son named Bith who was not allowed aboard the Ark, and who attempted to colonise Ireland with 54 persons, only to be wiped out in the Deluge.

Some 9th-century manuscripts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle assert that Sceafa was the fourth son of Noah, born aboard the Ark, from whom the House of Wessex traced their ancestry; in William of Malmesbury 's version of this genealogy c. An early Arabic work known as Kitab al-Magall "Book of Rolls" part of Clementine literature mentions Bouniter , the fourth son of Noah, born after the flood, who allegedly invented astronomy and instructed Nimrod.

Martin of Opava c. However, Annio's manuscript is widely regarded today as having been a forgery. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
