CHAPTER 6, VERSES 5-22

The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that EVERY inclination of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY EVIL ALL THE TIME. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out….Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring flood-waters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

CHAPTER 11, VERSE 7
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

CHAPTER 7, VERSES 1-5

The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

It’s gorgeous up here in New England today. Crisp, cold, and a bright blue sky. And the allged blizzard over the weekend never happened.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Biking weather?

Not Quite.

Unless, of course, I want to dress as if I am going to Mars. But I have seen a few bikes on the road. It’s THAT nice.

Bassano and his sons were remarkable artists from Venice. Underrated artists, their Biblical paintings are original and powerful in style, with lots of animals. Great attention to details and a balanced choreography.
Wonderful illustrations and of course the always strong and imaginative Tissot.

If you look carefully, the UNICORNS are there protesting with signs that say “HECK NO! WE WON’T GO!”....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’ve always assumed the unicorns did go but could not procreate, due to the interference of the male’s horn....

[Terry L Smith]

whoompa! whoompa! whoompa! NOAH! whoompa! whompa! whoompa! N-O-A-H!!!!!!

[Red Badger]

Unicorn’s are like ‘dragons’, they are in every civilization’s folklore, but no one has ever seen one.

Perhaps they did exist at one time..........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

As you wish....
