Noah part 1 of 6

Genesis 5:32 to 6:22

re-told by Debbie Dunn

Story highlights:

* Noah’s wife gave birth to Japheth-Shem-Ham when Noah was 500

* God gave Noah 100 years to build ark before worldwide flood.

* Noah’s Ark and worldwide flood took place 1,656 years after birth of Adam.

Bible role-play begins:

Narrator #1: Some good things and some terrifying things happened to Noah around the time he turned 500.

Narrator #2: Three of the good things that happened was that Noah's wife gave birth to three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth [ja-fuhth].

Father God: Noah, you have found favor in my sight. Just like your great grandfather Enoch, I declare that you are a righteous man. I will reward you for being blameless, innocent, and guilt-free.

Narrator #1: Wow! That must have made Noah feel very happy to know his good words and actions pleased Father God.

Narrator #2: Then Father God said something puzzling and so scary that the little hairs must have raised on Noah's arms. His heart must have beat extra fast in fear.

Father God: Noah, my people have allowed the devil to tempt them into doing nothing but sin. Only you are free of blame. As for the rest, they are deserving of my wrath.

Narrator #1: Noah might have stuttered as he said, "Oh-oh-oh, no! Th-th-that is awful! Wh-wh-what is going to happen?"

Narrator #2: Full of sorrow, Father God softly said:

Father God: Noah, I regret that I created human beings. They have spiraled out of control into nothing but wickedness.

Narrator #1: Hearing this, Noah might have found tears pooling in his eyes. His legs might have even felt so weak that he fell to his knees when Father God stated:

Father God: I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds, and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.

Narrator #2: Fearfully, Noah might have said, "Father God, I thought you were going to reward me. But instead, it sounds like you are going to destroy me and my family."

Father God: Be at peace, Noah! You and your family will be safe. As for the rest, I am going to put an end to every single one of these violent and corrupt people.

Narrator #1: Oh, no! How was Father God planning to destroy them? Just listen to what Father God says next:

Father God: Noah, I will give you 100 years to build a giant boat called an ark. You will need this because a massive flood will cover the entire earth.

Narrator #2: Noah might have been very confused since he had never witnessed anything like that before.

Narrator #1: Noah might have said: "Father God, other than an inch or two of rain we get on stormy days, I have trouble picturing a giant flood."

Narrator #2: Noah might have reminded himself that Father God could do anything.

Narrator #1: So, Noah declared, "Of course, I know all things are possible to the one who created the entire earth and everything in it."

Narrator #2: Then, Noah might have said, "Uh, …, Father God, you know I have never built a boat before? How will I do it? "

Father God: Don't worry, Noah! I will tell you everything you need to know about how to make it big and safe enough to house you, your wife, your three sons, the women they marry, and a male and female of every kind of animal.

Narrator #1: In the fall of 2024, you probably saw videos of the floods that swept away houses, buildings, cars, trucks, people, and animals in Western North Carolina.

Narrator #2: Now multiply that horrible flood by a thousand.

Narrator #1: When Noah turned 600, the flood would be so deep that it would cover the tallest trees and the highest mountains.

Narrator #2: That was the terrifying fate that would happen to all those who refused to follow God's directions.

Narrator #1: Sadly, these people allowed the devil to tempt them into saying and doing nothing but wicked sins.

Narrator #2: Noah might have tried to get them to repent and change their wicked ways.

Narrator #1: But obviously, that did not happen.

Narrator #2: Next week, we will hear about this massive flood that covered the earth when our long-ago Grandpa Noah was 600 years old.
