Noah and the Flood- Maranda Gaines


Genesis chapters 6-9 tell the story of Noah and his ark. God was disappointed with humans and their evil thoughts and ways of life, so he decided to destroy all living creatures. However, God was pleased with Noah, his three sons, their wives, and children. God ordered Noah to build an ark to shelter Noah’s family while he killed off everything else. On this ark, Noah was also commanded to put a pair of every creature that walks the earth: a male and female. Once Noah completed this task, it rained for forty days and nights. The Earth was flooded for one hundred and fifty days and at the beginning of Noah’s 601st year of life, the Earth was finally ready to walk and live on. God now ordered Noah and his family to multiply and fill the earth and to let the animals roam the earth so they could do the same. God promised to never kill all the living creatures on earth again.

An animal that fascinates me is the snake. I think their whole being is very unique. They don't have legs and can still be super fast. They strangle their prey then swallow them whole. Everything about their movements  behaviors, and looks is fascinating to me. I admire their beauty and how different they are from most animals. 

I honestly don't think the world will end in fire nor in ice but if I had to choose it would be fire. I don't think the world will end soon and hopefully it doesn't. The world could become more chaotic than it already is with war and rage. War will probably end our world as it is, with everything up in flames and under gunpowder.
