Most of US know the story behind THE NOAH'S ARK and I want to share this amazing one.
Working Replica of Noah's Ark
Opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark , built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds th e length of a football field and as high as three-story house. Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold. A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been. Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top deck - not quite ready in time for the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and
goats, and one camel.
Visitors on the first day were stunned. Its past
comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to bicycling bywith her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape. 'I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big.' There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where ki ds can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the
Netherlands , where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years. Now that I am old and gray...give me the time to tell this new
generation (and their children too)about all about all you mighty miracles. Psalm 71:18
***psalm 71:18
EVEN I AM OLD AND GRAY,DO NOT FORSAKE ME OH GOD,TILL I DECLARE YOUR POWER TO THE NEXT GENERATION, YOU MIGHT ALL WHO ARE COME.
