Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus of Nazareth(c.4 BC/BCE-CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the messiah foretold in the OLD Testament, and within which most denominations recognize him as the Son of God and as God incarnate. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the messiah, where as Judaism rejects these claims. Several other religions revere him in some way.
Noah's Ark
Scripture Reference: Genesis6:1-9:17
Noah's Ark and the Flood -Story summary:
God saw how great wickedness had become and decided to wipe mankind from the face of the earth. However, one righteous man among all the people of that time, Noah, found favor in God's eyes. With very specific instructions, God told Noah to build an ark for him and his family in preparation for a catastrophic flood that would destroy every living thing on earth.
God also instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, along with every kind of food to be stored as food for the animals and his family while on the ark. Noah obeyed everything God commanded him to do.
After they entered the ark, rain fell on the earth for a period of forty days and nights. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days, and every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out. As the waters receded, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah and his family continued to wait for almost eight more months while the surface of the earth dried out.
According to the Bible account in the book of Genesis, Noah's Ark came to rest over 4300 years ago on the mountains of Ararat. Based upon the information which gathered, Noah's Ark does exist on Mount Ararat also known as Mount Judi by some Muslim scholars. It has been preserved all of these years by the hand of god and exists the ice fields on Ararat.
In Genesis6:19-21 it is written: And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male &female. of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gathered it to thee; and it shall be food for thee and for them. In Genesis7:2-3, it is written: of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male& the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. There is only one verse in the Bible which gives us a hint of where we the ark came to rest, "the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat."Genesis8:4. Where is Ararat? The length of the ruins of the ark is 515ft.'which is exactly 300 Egyptian cubits (20.6 inches!)Moses was schooled in Egypt and was not familiar with the Hebrew cubit which was not even in existence when Moses wrote Genesis.
