How old was Noah when God sent the flood to destroy the earth?
110496
He had just turned 18. He almost didn't build the ark, because he had been out partying for days (long birthday party) and was really trashed. He initially thought gods voice was a hallucination - he had been taking magic mushrooms for a couple days. Lucky for him, the animals, and us (!) he finally came to his senses!

My favorite bible story is Noah's Ark--What a demonstration of God's unconditional love and such a logical story to say the least. The fact that two of every kind unclean animal and seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate were able to live in a boat for 40 days outside their natural habitat and survive. The fact that Noah, his family, and all the animals were able to live peacefully on the boat for 40 days and nights without having a serious waste contamination and water borne illnesses. And oh the unconditional love of God outpouring on his creation as he let it rain and rain and rain for forty days and nights, "To wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." Genesis 7:4 What Grace and Compassion!

The book "The Secrets of Enoch" will give you all this info. Enoch was noahs great grandfather. Do a serch for the book of Enoch and you will find it on-line. Many people refer to these as Nephylium(spelling ?) This is the reason God destroyed the Earth with the flood. The angels are now referred to as demons for they are the fallen angels and yes it is believed that this is where the giants came from.

Noah's Ark\n\n  Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a man named Noah.  Noah was a very good man, and God loved him because he lived like God wanted him to live.  Noah had a wife and three sons, named Ham, Shem and Japheth, and each of his sons had a wife. \n\n        It wasn't a very happy time on the earth.  There were big ugly giants that lived in those days, and people became very mean to one another.  There was a lot of fighting between people, and lying and stealing, and it was just all bad.  But Noah and his family were always very nice.  God became angry with all the mean people and the big ugly giants.  He was so upset with them all that he was sorry he made man on the earth, but he was very pleased with Noah and his family. \n\n        God talked to Noah one day and said, "Noah ... Noah.  I have to put an end to all of the bad people and giants on the earth.  I will destroy them all, people and animals, by sending a Great Flood, to wash them all away.  I want you and your family, to build an ark out of gopher wood.  Make it with rooms inside and make it really, really big.  Put a window in the top, so light can get in, and build a door on the side.  I want you to make it three stories tall with rooms inside." \n\n        God told Noah all the measurements to use in making the ark, like how long and how high and how wide to make it.  Then God said, "I am going to send two of every kind of living thing on the earth to keep them alive during the Great Flood.  They are going to live with you and your family on the ark.  And I will start my promise with you." \n\n        Oh my!  Noah had a very big job ahead of him.  He had never even built a boat before, let alone, an ark.  God told Noah just exactly how to do everything.  So, Noah and his family began building the ark.  They had to cut down big, tall trees for the wood and had to haul it to the place where they were building the ark.  They had to cut the trees so all the wood would fit together just right, the way God told Noah to.  They didn't have the same kind of tools back then, that there are now, so it took a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.  They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n        They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals.  They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes.  They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses.  They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep.  And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds.  They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals.  Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n        People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark.  They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!"  Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark.  They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n        Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him.  He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen.  He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n        It took a very long time to build the ark.  Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting.  It was hard work.  When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start.  God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n        So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

In Revelation, Armageddon is a valley where a battle takes place involving 10,000 men and horses.  I don't remember the Bible ever mentioning a literal destruction of earth.  No one knows when any of it will happen, though lots of people try.

about 4,400 years old ,you know when "the vallies sank down and the mountains rose"during the flood according to the bible .oh and by the way all so called dating methods(c14,potasium/argon,u232)all give outragous dates.they dated a living snaile at 10,000 years ,i mean come on

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth is therefore as old as the heavens, including the universe.  The 6,000 years are reckoned from Gen 2:2.  The Bible is silent about what happened before 6,000 years.  The earth is more than 6,000 years old as explained herein.

Wow. That is a loaded question. I would say it started way back in the beginning of the history of men and was part of the physical temptations Satan and his fallen angels used to try to persuade people to stop following God's commandments. I have read that it was also part of the reason the world was destroyed by flood, and Noah and his family (his sons had one wife each) had to start over on re-populating the earth. That's all I will say about this subject, because I don't want to get a lot of angry messages from people who think differently. I'm not a "homophobe," I just see things for what they are, and everyone is a child of God. Have a happy day.

Genesis 9:12-17: And God said to Noah, 'This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you , for perpetual generations:\n\n    I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. \n\n    And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:\n\n    And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh'.

After much thought and research, I have come to realize that the God of the OT was/is the same as the God of the new.  And He is love.  He showed great love before the flood, when the earth proved bad and He was heartbroken (Biblically, He was hurt in His heart.)  Although He had regrets that He had created mankind because of the evil disposition of man, He sent Noah to warn everyone that all they had to do was enter the Ark to be saved.  That's it.  No blood atonement, nothing.  Just get on the boat.  Of course, we know the end of the story.  And He showed great love to Abraham, who beseeched God to turn His great wrath aside from Sodom and Gomorrah if he, Abraham, could find 50 righteous amongst them.  God obliged Abraham, even down to 10.  There were none found, and God destroyed them all.  But, He always, ALWAYS gives us a way out.  It's just that we are either too wicked, selfish, stupid, stubborn or blind to take it.

2. You're wrong about the second scripture. God told Noah to take in two of every unclean animal, but to take in the clean animals by sevens. You were close, though. Thanks for shooting down a common myth. \n3. Yes. He had to tell the truth in the book of Job, when God asked Satan what he had been doing in the world. \n6. Yes. God will come down to establish a 100-mile high and 100-mile wide city on the earth. \n7. Abraham did have two sons. He had Isaac and Ishmael. The Jews that descended from Abraham, though, are also counted as his children.

God had specifically told Noah and his family to spread out and fill the earth. In rebellion, probably under the lead of Nimrod( first human dictator) The people began to cluster into cities, instead of spreading out. The tower was built to make a celebrated name for the Builders and to keep them from spreading out. Actually God did not destroy the building. His confusing the languages effectively stopped the work, and caused the builders to spread earth wide. Genesis 9:1 and  11:1-10

God told Noah: "And as for you, take for yourself every sort of food that is eaten; and you must gather it to yourself, and it must serve as food for you and for them.”  (Gen. 6:21)\n\n"Later on the dove came to Noah about the time of evening and, look! there was an olive leaf freshly plucked in its bill, and so Noah got to know that the waters had abated from the earth. 12 And he went on waiting still another seven days.  Then he sent out the dove, but it did not come back again to him anymore."  (Gen. 8:12,)  This indicates that vegetation was growing again on the earth, like the olive tree.  After Noah sent the dove out the third time, it did not come back, which most likely shows that ample vegetation had grown on the earth to feed the dove.\nYet, some olive trees in the Flood apparently retained their vitality, enabling them to sprout fresh shoots when the waters receded.\n\nConcerning the olive tree, 'The New Bible Dictionary' states:  “If cut down, new shoots spring up from the root, so that as many as five new trunks could thus come into being.  Moribund [near dead] olives usually sprout in this manner also.”  It is “as if its vitality were indestructible,” says The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.  No human today knows the details, such as salinity and temperature, of the floodwaters. Hence, we cannot be sure about their potential effect on olive trees and other vegetation.\n\nIf you would like further information, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall.

Yes.\n\nThere are 3 earth ages (II Pet.3:5-7), same earth but different ages. We are now in the 2nd earth age. Between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2 is a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between these 2 verses is Satan’s rebellion (Rev.12:3-4) and “his tail” drew 1/3 of God’s children. Between these 2 verses also belongs all fossils and remains, such as Dinosaurs.\n\nIn Gen.1:2 we have the of the end of the 1st earth age and the beginning of the 2nd. For clarity Gen.1:2 needs to be divided (see below).\n\n(A) Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. \n\n(B) Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.\n\nIn (A) Gen.1:2 the first occurrence of the word “was” has been corrupted and is “became”. It reads “And the earth became without form, and void”. The end of the 1st earth age.\n\nIn (B) Gen.1:2 we have the beginning of 2nd earth age, the one we live in now. Man did not exist in flesh till this earth age.\n\nBetween (A & B) Gen.1:2 is also a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between (A & B) Gen.1:2  is; a global flood (not Noah’s which was a local flood), the destruction of Atlantis, the breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age. \n\nTime means nothing to our Father. He is very patient and loves His children. Instead of destroying Satan and 1/3 of His children, He destroyed that first earth age. Now in this 2nd earth age we all are born innocent in the flesh. Father came in the flesh Himself, Jesus Christ, and paid the price for all. Father defeated Satin, that is death, legally. So now His children have a decision, to choose life or to choose death. It’s your decision. Choose life!!
