[Music] Did you know that God speaks to people? Yes! He can speak in many ways: Through the bible; it can speak to our heart; through dreams and many other ways.
But in ancient times, God spoke to people with His own voice. Yes it is true! Noah was a good man, he heard the voice of God and was heavily criticized.
That's right, today is Noah's Ark story day . Hi, this is Aunt Annabelle, and this story is there in the Bible in Genesis Chapter 6. And for you to better understand this little story, I'll leave the link to the previous video for you to watch later OK?
[Music] But then, do you know what time it is now? Story time! What do you like to do on a rainy day?
This is the story of a great rain that fell for days and days, flooding the whole earth, just imagine! But God is very loving and saved a family that trusted Him and also many animals. This story happened thousands of years ago, more or less 5 thousand years or more.
Do you know how it was? Well, there was a time when people were really, really mean. People did many wrong things, they fought, they lied, they committed crimes.
And every time he did some kind of evil. But God was seeing all this, He saw what a terrible place the world had become, and his heart was very sad. So you know what he did?
He decided to destroy the world that had been created by Him. And now? But, could it be that in the midst of so many people there was no one good.
Out of all those people, the only person who still liked to do what was right was called Noah. Yes! He had three sons: one was called Sam, the other was called Ham and the other was called Japheth.
So God decided to talk to Noah and tell him his plan. [Music] One day in one of his prayers God spoke to Noah like this: "Noah, the world will suffer a great flood that will cover the whole earth with water, that's why you Noah need to build a big ark. Because it's going to rain so much, but so much so that every creature on this earth will die.
But it will be different with you, and I promise to make an alliance with you. You will get into a vessel with your wife, your three children and their wives. You will also put inside this vessel a couple of each kind of animal to survive with you".
Wow, great! A great ark! Yeah, it seemed great, but it wasn't easy for Noah.
God had given all the measurements to Noah, and the plans of how to build the ark Tintin by tim-tim. Noah knew every detail and obeyed everything God commanded. But the ark took many, many years to build, and it took a lot of work.
Just imagine, it had to be huge, huge to fit so many animals: monkeys, giraffes, lions, elephants, bears, birds, rabbits. Phew, and much more. They probably had to build a lot of separate enclosures for the animals, as well as a large space to fit all the food they would need.
While the family was building the ark they were warning people that the Lord would bring a great punishment, so people should repent of the wrong things they did. For they would still have the opportunity to repent. But instead, the bad people just laughed and made fun of Noah.
They probably thought the whole family was crazy. But Noah knew he wasn't crazy and stopped listening to all the insults and continued working on the ark. Noah worked and worked and worked and the ark was finally ready.
The time had come! God warned that the flood would begin, and that it was time for him to do what had been agreed. So everyone hurried to get into the ark.
Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons' wives entered the ark. Of all the animals that existed, two, male and female, came into the boat. [Music] Do you believe the animals came to Noah by themselves?
It was indeed a great miracle! [Music] Then after everyone was on board, God closed the door to the great ark! [Music] Suddenly it started to rain, first a few small drops, then a heavy rain that lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
And do you know what happened? The people outside realized that Noah was right, and that they must repent so that he could enter the ark as well. But now unfortunately it was too late.
The whole earth was flooded with water. [Music] Gradually the water began to recede, until the ark landed on a mountain. [Music] Noah was finally able to leave the ark with his family, what a joy!
And all animals safe and sound to start life on Earth again. God then fulfilled what he promised, and guaranteed that he would never again send so much rain on the earth as in the flood. And for everyone to remember the promise He made, He created a beautiful rainbow that appears on rainy days in the sky.
[Music] Do you know what we learn from this story of Noah? It's just that when we decide to walk with God, many people will be able to mock you, make fun of you, but you must do like Noah trusting that God will help you! You know, we can all do something wrong, but we have a chance to repent.
And that doesn't mean we've lost our salvation. God always wants to give us forgiveness, that's why Jesus died on the cross, to deliver us from all sin! Let's pray?
God, I know I can trust what you tell me because you keep what you promise. I trust you, and I will obey you until the end. I will not back down from your word, in the name of Jesus.
