He was told to make an ark in which he and representatives of all the animals would live during the time when the world was being destroyed by flooding. In passing, there is ample scientific reason to believe that this huge flood did literally occur, apart from the clear statements of Scripture! Notice that the earth (i.e. this literal planet) was not destroyed, just the wicked human set-up which was upon it: "all flesh died that moved upon the earth" (Gen. 7:21). Jesus (Mt. 24:37) and Peter (2 Peter 3:6-12) both saw the judgment on Noah's world as having similarities with what will occur at Christ's second coming.
Maendeleo ya historia ya mwanadamu yalipokwenda mbele baada ya kipindi cha Adamu na Eva, mwanadamu akaongezeka na kuwa mwovu sana, mambo yalifikia hatua ambayo ustarabu wa uadilifu ukaharibika mno ambapo Mungu akaamua kuuharibu utaratibu wa mambo, Isipokuwa nuhu na familia yake (Mwa. 6:5-8).Akaambiwa atengeneze safina ambayo ndani yake yeye na wanyama wote miongoni mwa waliochaguliwa wataishi kipindi cha wakati hapo ulimwengu utakapokuwa unaangamia kwa gharika. kwa kupita, ipo sababu kubwa ya kisayansi ya kuamini kwamba mafuriko haya makubwa yalitokea kweli, mbali ya taarifa za wazi za maandiko! Fahamu kuwa dunia (Yaani, hii sayari halisi) haikuharibiwa, wanadamu waovu waliosimamishwa juu yake tu."Wakafa wote wenye mwili waendao juu ya nchi" (Mwa. 7:21).Yesu (Math. 24:34) na Petro (2Petr.3:6 -12) Wote wawili waliielewa hukumu ya ulimwengu wa Nuhu una mfano mmoja na itakayotokea Kristo atakapokuja mara ya pili.
