Bible role-play begins:
Narrator #1: Have you ever heard some terrifying news and then had to
figure out how to share that news with your family or best friends?
Narrator #2: Would they believe you? Would they blame
you? Would they think you had gone crazy?
Narrator #1: Five-hundred-year-old Noah struggled with that after
hearing from Father God.
Narrator #2: Walking home, Noah might have wondered,
"What will my wife and three young sons say when I tell them that
Father God has given me 100 years to build a giant boat called an ark?"
Narrator #1: Noah might have entered his house and announced, "Uh,
..., wife, sons, uh, ..., I have some good and bad news. Which would you like
to hear first?"
Narrator #2: Perhaps they said, "Let's hear the
good news first. What is it?"
Narrator #1: Noah might said, "Remember how pleased Father
God was with my Great Grandfather Enoch because he was such a righteous man?"
Narrator #2: His wife might have stated, "Yes,
Enoch did such a great job faithfully following all of Father God's directions
that he got to go straight to Heaven without having to die first."
Narrator #1: Noah might have said, "Well, ..., uh, ...,
that's kind of what will happen to us. Father God said He will reward us
because I am such a righteous, blameless, and guilt-free man."
Narrator #2: His wife might have
said, "Oh, Noah! I am so proud of you! What is your reward?"
Narrator #1: Nervously, Noah might have said, "Uh, ...,
well... Father God is going to give me one hundred years to build a giant boat
called an ark."
Narrator #2: His wife might have said, "That's
your reward?!! Huh! What does Father God intend for you to do with an ark?"
Narrator #1: Noah might have quickly said, "The ark is going
to keep all of us safe, plus the wives that our sons will eventually marry.”
Narrator #2: Noah adds, "The
ark will also preserve a male and female of each kind of animal."
Narrator #1: His wife may have asked, "What are you talking
about? What is Father God intending to save us from?"
Narrator #2: Noah might have said, "You see, Father
God is filled with anger that all the other people are so wicked, corrupt, and
violent. "
Narrator
#1: Noah
would explain, "So, ..., one hundred years from now, Father God intends
to cover the earth with a giant flood that will drown everybody but us."
Narrator #2: We can imagine that his wife and young sons
might have started to cry in amazement, confusion, and fright.
Narrator #1: His wife might have asked, "But what about your
father and grandfather? They are good men!"
Narrator #2: Noah might have stated, "Father God
said that they will die of old age before the flood covers the earth."
Narrator #1: His wife might have asked, "How will you know
how to build this ark? After all, you have never done anything like that
before."
Narrator #2: Noah might have said, "Father God
plans to tell me everything I need to know to keep us safe and protected during
this worldwide flood."
Narrator #1: Over the next hundred years, Noah, his sons, and perhaps
his father and grandfather worked together to build this giant ark.
Narrator #2: This ark was 510 feet long. In other words,
it was the length of one and a half football fields.
Narrator #1: This ark was 85 feet wide. In other words, it was about the
width of two school buses.
Narrator #2: If you picture three full-grown giraffes
standing one on top of the other, that is how tall this three-story ark was. It
was full of rooms, food, and water.
Narrator #1: Thank goodness all people and animals were still
vegetarians. That way, the animals wouldn't eat each other or Noah's family.
Narrator #2: Next week, we will hear about the completed
ark, the gathering of the animals, and the giant flood that covered the earth.
