A world soaked in violence. A warning no one wanted. A colossal barge with one door and a promise that judgment would not have the final word. We open Genesis 6:13–16 and follow the details many skip: gopher wood, three decks, precise dimensions, and a sealing pitch that does more than waterproof—it whispers the first hint of atonement. Along the way, we share a striking story from the Middle East, where a nursing student’s night vision of flowing blood confirmed the gospel she’d heard and pulled belief from possibility into surrender.

We talk plainly about how God speaks now—through the written Word, preached and taught—and how extraordinary moments like dreams never replace Scripture but can press its truth home. Then we dig into the ark’s design with clear, accessible reasoning: why a barge for stability and capacity, how cubits translate into modern terms, and why feasibility matters for an honest reading of the text. The symbolism deepens the structure: one door in the ark, one door to the sheepfold, one way to the Father. This isn’t narrow for its own sake; it’s a coherent rescue plan in a world of false exits.

Finally, we challenge the quiet creed of our age: that everything continues the same, untouched by the living God. Creation, the worldwide flood, and the resurrection say otherwise. Noah built when rain had never fallen. Faith looked foolish until it was the only wisdom left. We ask you to choose a foundation—scientism and uniformitarianism, or the God who speaks and saves—and to live like people who expect Him to act.
