The Lord was disgusted with the sins of man and said he would destroy all of mankind with a Great Flood. He then asked Noah, whom he considered a good man, to build a great ark. By building the ark, he would then be able to save 2 of every beast, bird, as well as his family and their spouses. In the Bible God said, “I am about to bring the waters of the flood over the earth to destroy from under heaven every human being that has the spirit of life; everything on earth shall perish. But with you I shall make my covenant, and you will go into the ark, you with your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives. You are to bring living creatures of every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you, two of each kind, a male and a female; two of every kind, of bird, beast, and creeping thing are to come to you to be kept alive. See that you take and store by you every kind of food that can be eaten; this will be food for you and for them.” Noah walked with God and believed in him, thus he began to construct the ark as commanded. Noah was always very righteous and blameless, so since God saw the world as corrupt and violent, Noah did too. It took Noah sometime to finish the ark and at the same time he had to persuade his family to believe in the Lord’s plans. Although, God’s influence and presence is so strong, each man granted with a test from God is faced with a test of faith in order to realize his full potential. The day of The Great Flood soon came and that was the day Noah changed from an ordinary man into the savior of man and animal
