Noah
While the story and the contents of the film stays true to the Old Testaments of the Bible, it seems like the story takes place in a distant future after a global post-nuclear disaster, unlike in the Bible, in which the story did took place in the distant past during a time when modern civilizations first occurred. The story begins with the story of creation, where Adam and Eve made wrong choices and rebelled against the creator, and since then the world has been fallen and sinful. Corrupt with man’s destructive advances. The creation needs to be saved and be safe from the destructive works of mankind. The story is of the Biblical character Noah, the son of Lamech and the grandson of Methuselah, who has been given a task by God to save creation by means of creating an ark, and rescuing pairs of living species, before God destroys the world by means of a world-wide flood. Noah faces the overwhelming task of building the wooden ark and getting the living species on the arc with the help of “watchers”, who are in fact fallen angels, which fell from Heaven. But Noah is walking on a rocky road as he has many enemies, including Tubal-Cain, one of his distant relatives, who later strives to take over his ark and kill Noah and his family. Noah is torn between his duties as being a family patriarch, to protect his family, build the arc and defend all the creation, or cater to his son Ham’s need of finding a wife. With all that taking place, the time is short as God’s wrath is about to be unleashed on the earth. Going through all the hurdles, Noah manages to fulfill the commandments of God, and builds an arc for the salvation of creation.
Noah is actually a very good film, and does a very good job of explaining Biblical knowledge to people who barely know much about the Bible, and know the reasons for Noah’s flood. Being a star studded film as it is, with celebrated actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, this movie brought in a big

    Noah follows the 5-Part foundations in all ways God intends him to. It all starts with the Preamble: God didn’t send a warning; he had Noah warn the people for him, but the people didn’t listen. For over 120 years Noah’s neighbors could have trusted and believed in God, but they would not listen to what he had to say. On the other hand, Noah did listen to God, and he did everything God told him to do in order to survive. This is an example of Noah have trust in God and understanding God’s greatness. The Historical Prologue is the second foundation: Noah understood that he was blessed. “Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.” The next foundation is the Ethnical Stipulations:…

    Most biblical historians and theological scholars have determined that the Great Flood as told in Genesis occurred sometime around 2500BC. In Genesis 6 through 8 it tells of how God who became dissatisfied with the wickedness of mankind causes a flood in order to destroy mankind. Before the flood, however, God finds a righteous man and tells him to build an ark for his family and the animals of the earth in order for them to repopulate the Earth after the flood. The rains begin causing a flood that kills every living creature of the Earth except for those that are on the ark. Eventually, the rains stop, the flood waters finally recede, dry land is found allowing Noah and his family along with all of the animals to leave the ark.…

    These events include the coming of the Antichrist, an ape aptly named Shift, whose actions lead to the enslavement and wanton killing of the true citizens of Narnia. The talking beasts are enslaved, while the tree people, the Dryads, are killed for timber. The Narnians eventually lead a revolt against Shift and his companions, led by King Tirian ‘the last of the Kings of Narnia’. The revolt sadly fails, even with the aid of Jill and Eustace, who are summoned back to Narnia to help in its final hour of need, and many true followers of Aslan are killed. But all is not lost: King Tirian, Jill and Eustace are pushed through a stable door during the final battle, only to discover another, ‘more real and more beautiful’ Narnia within the stable. The reference to a new Narnia echoes John’s description of a ‘New Jerusalem’ in Revelation. As night falls on the old Narnia, its inhabitants pass by Aslan for their final judgment, some entering into the new Narnia and the others disappearing into Aslan’s…

    Genesis 6:7-8 reads, “7 So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (The Holy Bible). This scripture introduces the well-known story of Noah’s Ark. God sent forty days and forty nights of non-stop rain to wipe out the sin-ridden humans and purify the Earth. One male and one female from every animal species and the family of Noah would be spared in order to repopulate the Earth. There has been much debate over the existence of such an event even though versions have been recorded in many cultures and languages. Some say that the bible’s…

    Jake’s actions are considered in his scope of employment for his specific role as a mechanic for his employment at the auto dealership. Jake notes to his employer, Herman that he has been working overtime for two days during the free oil change deal at the auto dealership. Jake tells Herman that he believes if he is doing the extra work for the car dealership’s special, he should be fairly compensated. In accordance with the FLSA (Federal Labor Standards Act) the U.S. Department of Labor defines that employees that work more than forty hours per week must be paid one and a half times their regular pay. In compliance with the FLSA, it does indeed confirm that Jake has every right to demand overtime pay at time and a half for his contributions to the car dealership. The FLSA actually further defines the law for “blue collar workers” and is known as: Section 13(a)(1) The Blue-Collar Workers and the Part 541 Exemptions Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) summarizes that blue collar workers that do repetitive work with their hands are indeed entitled to overtime premium pay and minimum wage. Other non-management employees such as construction workers, craftsmen, electricians, and other similar occupations are also considered in the same category as mechanics and justify proper and appropriate overtime compensation. Furthermore, the law states they must be compensated no matter how high that pay might be.…

    Genesis and Gilgamesh

    When God made human beings he did so because he was lonely, but not so long after the creation of mankind God regretted what he had made. We were terrible neighbors. So God sent a flood as a punishment for all mankind. In both Gilgamesh and Genesis God announces the flood to one ‘savior’ of mankind, but in each story he does it in a different way. In Gilgamesh God comes in a dream while in Genesis God just tells Noah face to face. Despite the channel of communication both saviors take head to God’s warning and build a boat. They each take all different types of animals with them to repopulate the earth, but when it comes to the humans they chose to take Utnapishtim and Noah chose differently. Utnapishtim chooses to take his family along with a pilot for the boat and some craftsman, people that are necessary to rebuild a civilization. On the other hand you have Noah who only takes his family. The duration that each hero would embark on is also very different. Utnapishtim’s flood lasts for six days. While Noah’s flood lasts an astounding forty days. Another thing that makes these two stories extremely different is the final destination of the boats. While they both end up in the same region, the Middle East to be exact, Mt. Ararat and Mt. Nisir were maybe 500 miles away from each other. You can’t end up in two different places in one story. Lastly, the final blessings received from God at the end of each of the two journeys were also very different. Utnapishtim was granted eternal life for his good deeds while Noah was…

    Although the similarities between “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “The Genesis” story are many, the variances are very few. Utnapishtim was warned in Ea’s dream, while Noah was directly warned by God. The flood in Utnapishtim’s epic was ordered by Enlil but sent by the whole assembly of gods. In Noah’s fable, the flood was sent by God himself. Lastly, the length of time that the heroes were made to endure the great disaster was very disparate. Utnapishtim had to only survive a short period of time which was 6 days and nights. Noah endured hardship for a much longer period. His journey was 40 days and…

But they told one man to build a great boat and gave measurements to build said boat.

    Noah Webster was written by Elaine Cunningham. This book has 147 page and 12 chapters. This biography talks about the events in Noah’s life in Hartford, Conneticut where Noah and his family live. Even though little Noah lived in an old farm house he still got an education. I think the author of this book wrote the book to show children a example that they should not only read, but read to succeed.…
