Luk 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man . Luk 17:27 “They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Noah was between the age of 525- 545 years old when he started building the ark. Bible scholars estimate that it took Noah between 55-75 years to build the ark( Answers In ). The Bible clearly records that Noah was 600 years old when the floods finally came. Certainly, the construction of the ark was a lengthy endeavor.
But imagine how awkward Noah felt constructing an ark during a dry season? I am sure many people were convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that all was not well with him. He must have earned himself a nick name among the locals. But everything changed when it started raining and the water levels started rising.
Faith at times will make you appear foolish until it “begins to rain”. Do not shy away from trusting God to release to you what appears impossible. Gen 7:6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.Gen 7:7 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
