Boat or Box

    Genesis 6:13-16 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
(If a cubic is 18” than the structure was to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high)
   When one reads the instructions God gave to Noah, what did he build? 
A boat or a box?
Anything Long, wide, and tall can be a box, a sphere, or even a pyramid.
   There is much speculation on what it looked like! And many drawings, both serious and cartoonish.
   Noah's Ark is a large wooden vessel described in the Bible's book of Genesis, built by Noah to save his family and two of every animal species from a global flood sent by God. The story is part of various ancient flood myths and has been interpreted in many ways across different cultures and religions.
BOAT:
A group in Williamstown, Kentucky have constructed an ARK. Called the ‘ARK Encounter’.   It is very Impressive and well worth a visit. The information contained within the Ark will astound every visitor. See NOAHS ARK Kentucky

OR was it a BOX:
Again all God gave Noah (that’s recorded) is Length, Width, Height with one Door and One Window. All the Ark had to do was float. It didn’t need direction. Just Float and keep Noah, his family and all the animals alive, for a Year.

Anything Long, wide, and tall can be a box, a sphere, or even a pyramid.

If it is ever found, all arguments will be settled. Of course, God has kept it hidden, if not destroyed.
We only need to believe the Bible and Trust God.

Witch and Witchcraft

There’s nothing about witches or witches recorded before the flood: But after the flood God gave the LAW to Israel:
Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Saul gets rejected as king by Samuel
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Jezebel, a witch among other sins:
2 Kings 9:22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Manasseh the King did evil in the sight of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Warnings from God:
Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Micah 5:12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
Nahum 3:4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
The apostle Paul warns:
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
