Week 4 Story: The Great Storm

Image
Authors Notes: After reading the story of Noah, it was clear to me that the reason God sent the flood was because there was no focus on love in the world, only lust. This lust came in the form of many different idols, whether it be skin, money, or power. The story of Noah goes to show how Gods great mercy and compassion was able to wipe this lust from the planet, and allowed Noah and his family to start the world anew. This story goes to show how a young boy named Rohan, was able to conquer his fear and trust his two friends to stop a great storm. In the early years of his life, Rohan was always seen as something more than normal. He had odd tendencies when it came to playing with other kids. Sometimes when he was at the swimming pool with his summer camp group, he would fasten all the pool floaties to the tanning chairs and throw them in the pool declare that the other kids were not worthy of being on his boat. Rohan also loved animals and even had the ability to speak to them. Oft...

Reading Notes: Noah, Part B

B: The Holy Book: In order to build a boat that could hold 2 of each animal, Noah had to use special instructions given to him by Adam, who got it from an angel named Raziel, in which all earthly and celestial knowledge is recorded... The Great Ship: credit:  Pixabay The Inmates of the Ark: Noah was stressing out after building the boat, because he still had to find all of the animals... and he was no biologist... So God being as cool as he was with Noah decided to send all the animals to noah, so that noah could focus on gathering his family. As the animals would show up, more came than expected, kind of like when you invite someone to a party you are having, and that person brings 8 of their own friends, without letting you know. God's remedy for this was to have noah stand guard at the entrance of the boat and with a watchful eye, record which animals lay down when they reached the entrance, and which animals would remain standing. This happened for 7 days and nights, an...

Reading Notes: Noah, Part A

A: The Ark: God realizes how wicked the earth had become, and decided his only move was to destroy his own creation of humans... except for Noah, b/c Noah and God were chill. God told noah that destruction was coming, and told him to make a huge boat because God was planning on cleansing the earth from all the sin. The Flood: After getting more instructions from God, Noah gathered two of each animal, his family, and enough food for the long journey. Seven days after this, the forty day rain spell hit the planet, thus flooding the entire thing. Also, everything that wasnt on the boat died a horrible death... After the Flood: after forty days and nights, God sent a wind from the heavens and the water began to leave the earths surface. This took 150 days total. The boat ended up "docking" at the Ararat Mountains, on 7-17-????. Noah then did as God commanded and opened the window he had made and sent a raven and a dove out every seven days to see if they would return with an...
