Old Testament Class Lesson 6 - Noah ... Prepared an Ark to the Saving of His House

The Ark that Noah and his family built as about 2 football fields long and 4 stories high in preparation for the 40 days and 40 nights of the coming flood. Noah had been preaching about repentance to save the people but they were prideful as to saying "We all have what we need. We have our family and kids and all of us has been prosperous so what can go wrong?" .

The flood came and all living things on earth drowned, except for the ones in Noah's Ark. After the flood, the Lord sets a token that this will never happen again in the form of a rainbow. Once they were out of the Ark, they thanked the Lord and continued to live on. From that time, Noah's generation decided to build a tower high enough that it would reach the heavens so that God would come down and talk to them. So they did. It was a reflection of their pride and they didn't even realize it. They have become one in their goal and the Lord saw this and said, "Let us confound their language so that they won't understand each other". So the Lord confounded their language that they understood not each other. This might have been so chaotic in its sense but in my own thought, the Lord might have confounded their language by family to still continue each family's progress and generations.
