Scripture Comes To Life: How big was Noah's ark?

     It is sometimes hard to imagine things that the Bible speaks of. One of those things is how big the ark that Noah built truly was. You could take some helium filled balloons out to a field and allow them to float at the right height and space them out to the dimensions given in the Genesis 6:14-22. You could also check out this article from Answers in Genesis. Or... there are a couple of links below that can help you understand just how big of a task this ark truly was!

Noah Movie - Ark Featurette

     Many of you might have seen the new Noah movie. I knew ahead of time that the ark in the film was built to scale. The only problem is that I found it difficult to truly grasp how big the ark from the movie was. The above video from YouTube does a better job displaying the ark's size and they talk about why the ark in this film looks so different from what we normally think of.

     If a video is still too difficult for you to see the immense size, then perhaps you would like to encounter the ark for yourself. Well, just wait a little bit longer and you can visit the Ark Encounter that is being built in Kentucky!
