The story of Noah's ark is one filled with faith, and promise. Noah was a man who found great favor in God's eyes. The entire population of mankind had become evil and wicked and God decided to bring a flood to the earth to destroy everyone except Noah and his family. God told Noah to prepare an ark big enough to hold each animal, both male and female. Only Eight Were Saved. "Today the Ark is in Jesus Christ" Bishop Joe C. Tisdale
