Previouslyn the Bible Celebrity Series....Adam, the Man?
Now, Noah, the Best Man!
Our second Bible celebrity?.Noah?round of applause, please! God eyes oogled?all over the world for the best amongst the worst of humans to carry on His dreams. The appalling fallen state of man since Adam death bite made God ick? Some said time could heal but time deteriorated minds and hearts of souls created in God image. Aiyah (Malaysian Sigh)! The worst of times was an understatement. No one even looked up to the heavens and said, s there a God??No one!! Was there anyone?? Alrighthere is one. The spotlight fell on Noah and his family. One man made the difference. One righteous man.
oah! Noah!?God whispered.
es! Yes!?Noah answered.

hat right. They deserved a lot.?/FONT>
Noah obeyed God to the very dot. The family got right on with the building of the boat while everyone went about building their deep foundations on earth. They carried on with their wicked schemes and violent ways. Initially, people would gather around to listen to Noah story of the sin of Adam and the need to repent. After a hundred years of jeering and taunting, Noah felt exactly how God felt. hey deserved a lot?of rain?/FONT>
Rain it came! Every house built deep into the earth began to wilt. Every success story on earth washed away. Gold and silver swept away like wood and hay. The wicked and violent human race came to a halt, all inhabitants had one question in mind, should have entered the boat!?Death is no respecter of person, rich and poor, kings and farmers, lions and ants. Wickedness always resulted in heavy consequences. The example of Adam was long forgotten by these people. Obeying God was a long-gone behaviour. Noah and family were considered people from another planet.
As the water receded and the ark came to a stand still, Noah came out and he stretched. hooi! Anybody out there???he screamed. He heard someone shouted back on the other side. The same words. Straightaway, he knew they were the only ones on the face of the earth. h feel like Adam.?And then he quickly uttered praises to God for his family. ome on guys, we have work to do!?/FONT>
After many years (maybe less), Noah and his family continued to worship and serve God faithfully, offering animal sacrifices for their sins. Then?/FONT>

A marvellous rainbow appeared right above Noah head. The whole family quickly laid down on the field to watch the spectacular sight. That was the most joyous occasion since Noah was born. oday, all the heartaches we went through serving God, it all worth it!?Noah exclaimed. As he laid there close with his wife, he whispered to her, od said, be fruitful and multiply??/FONT>
