 Could Noah's Ark actually be the cave systems in the mountainous earth? The Ark of Noah is a saviour of life on earth. But could it be that we are simply assuming the Ark to be a boat? What if the Ark was inside the Mount Ararat linking the other cave systems throughout the region of Turkey and maybe beyond? The Anankuyu, for example, was a haven for sixty odd thousand people, including stables for livestock and places of worship. What do we know about Noah and how can we be sure what the Ark was? In Genesis 6, passages 13 through 16, reads as follows. And God said to Noah, I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an Ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the Ark and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you are to make it. The length of the Ark, 300 cubits, its breadth, 50 cubits, and its height, 30 cubits. Make a roof for the Ark and finish it to a cubit above and set the door of the Ark in its side. Make it with lower, second and third decks. According to Genesis, God instructs Noah to build an Ark and set the door of the Ark in its side. Has Noah to build something or is he to reinforce something? Make rooms in the Ark is what the passage says. And we can't help but wonder if this interpretation is in fact the cave systems that have since been discovered. The excavation of these mountains would have been just as biblical as the building of a floating device. But if we are to stick with the facts and then interpret these passages then we are not left with any clear-cut picture. Instead, the cradle of humanity's survival is glorified in children's stories and from the earliest age possible we are confronted with a fantasy that makes little sense. Then God said to Noah, And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the Ark. To keep them alive with you, they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind. Two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive and you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten and you shall gather it to yourself and it shall be food for you and for them. Could it be that not two of every animal was gathered? Instead, a society survived in the mountainous region to help preserve the DNA of two of every kind of animal. A vault, not only to reseed the entire earth after the saltwater had killed the crops but also to repopulate the earth and all the life present here after the biblical cleansing in the form of the flood. We do wonder how two of every living animal could have been on a big cargo-type ship. Well, perhaps the answer lies in the possibility that Noah had scientific knowledge gifted to him by the almighty God of men. The adaption of the DNA back into an earth setting after the flood sees the extinction of the dinosaurs for whatever reason not all life could flourish again. But it wasn't for the want of trying. Noah sacrificed some of these animals to God after he left the Ark and this could be a possible reference to the genetics not taking place and the transformation of the DNA not working. And this is referred to as a sacrifice instead of a failure. But what it boils down to is that there was plenty of room in the Ark for everyone including the dinosaurs. But that doesn't make sense unless we're talking about DNA transformation and not physical life on board a boat. When God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. He tells them to multiply to fill the earth with life. This cannot simply be surmised as human beings multiplying. Instead, could this be a direct reference to the cause at hand to fill the earth with all life in the process of harnessing the DNA seeding the land and bringing life as we know it back from the brink of extinction and the cradle of humanity's survival. What if this is true? In Genesis 7 verse 6 it states that Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters came upon the earth. The Egyptian king's list also shows reigns of kings that exceed thousands of year reigns. And this does show us today that our short-lived lives of 80 or 90 years is in fact humans in infancy. In some ways it seems that there is a lot more that we don't know about these events than what we do know. And this can be intriguing, frustrating and exciting all at the same time. The Gospel of John closes by stating and there are also many other things that Jesus did which if they were written one by one I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. If so much could have been written about the years of Christ's ministry then it should comfort us that Almighty God handpicked the most important information throughout history to give us in his word. We do not know what Noah did prior to constructing the ark. This required a totally different skill set than growing a vineyard which he did after the flood according to Genesis. But there is no indication that Noah did anything like this previous to his commissioning. Noah's wife is often referred to as Mrs. Noah because she's never named as is also the case with Noah's daughters-in-law. Could it be that these women were also genetically created? Not knowing is not a cause for sensationalism but we can explore the different prospects that are apparent and available to today's earth inhabitants. God is the Creator so at any given point all things are possible and that includes everything available today being possible in the past. If God's will is almighty and of course it is then absolutely anything is possible and that includes a plan of survival on the earth during cataclysmic occurrences. It is interesting that the Bible tells us there was only one door to the ark. Similarly there is only one way to enter into a relationship with God. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For those who believe in him Jesus is our one entrance into God's redemptive grace. The Bible warns us that a second judgment is coming this time by fire and people are turning from God rejecting him as Creator and putting themselves in his place and in this sense God continues to be long suffering as he was in Noah's day. But there will come a time when judgment will come. During Noah's time the question was were you in the ark or standing out in the world? There was no hope of survival for the people outside of the ark and only within the earth could we survive such a cataclysm. Some did survive others took to the caves and waited out the flood but not many. They forgot who they were for their efforts as the trauma took hold. But what do you guys think about this idea of Noah's ark? Could the ark be the cave systems in the mountainous earth? Comments below and as always thank you for watching.
