Well, hello and welcome to The Zone. I'm your host, Big Wave Dave. Today, we are going to talk about the global flood.

00:26

Now to do that, we've brought in a very special guest. Are you ready? Let's go! Hello, my name is

00:35

Noah, and I would like to tell you a story. It's a true story, about a flood that once covered the entire

00:43

Earth. Now to understand why this happened, we need to go back to the very beginning.

00:53

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them.

00:59

And he did this in just six days. Now on day six, God created

01:05

Adam and Eve, and he placed them in the Garden of Eden. When God first created everything, it was perfect.

01:14

Adam and Eve lived in peace with the animals and walked with God. In the midst of the garden, there was a very special tree, called the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

01:27

Now God had told Adam and Eve, you are free to eat fruit from any of the trees of the garden, except this one.

01:35

He said that if they ate from this one, they would die. This was a test to see if Adam and Eve would faithfully follow

01:44

God. Sadly, they chose to rebel against him and everything changed.

01:53

God's creation was no longer perfect. It was corrupted by sin. So God kicked

02:01

Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. From now on, life was going to be very hard for them.

02:10

Adam and Eve's sin brought pain, death and suffering into the world. Over time, the world became a very dark place.

02:20

The people and the animals were doing terrible things. The earth was filled with violence.

02:27

This made God feel really sad. So He decided to start over.

02:33

God told me that He was going to send a flood to wipe out everything on the face of the earth.

02:40

All of the people and all of the land animals were going to perish. This made me feel so terrible inside.

02:52

Thankfully, God said that He was going to save me, my family, and a bunch of animals.

02:58

Because of this, He told us to build a big ship called an ark.

03:04

The ark was huge. It was over 500 feet long and 50 feet high.

03:11

It had to be that big, so that we would have enough room for the animals and food that we would need.

03:18

It took a long time for us to build that ark. When the ark was completed, the animals started to arrive.

03:27

God sent two of every kind of animal, male and female, to the ark to be saved.

03:33

Some of them were small, others were bigger. Things like bears, tigers and camels.

03:40

And funny looking ones like this giraffe here. My favorites were the elephants.

03:46

Altogether we had about 7 ,000 animals on the ark including a lot of birds!

03:53

Man were they ever noisy! You may be wondering how in the world did we fit huge animals like these on board?

04:03

That's a great question, but there is an answer. Even these huge animals started out small, so God, in his wisdom, sent us babies.

04:13

Like this one here. Here you go little fella. After the ark was loaded,

04:23

God closed the door and the global flood began. The flood was so scary.

04:33

At first the storms were very loud and the ark rocked violently back and forth. We could hear the waves crashing all around us.

04:43

On board the ark, we kept the animals in cages to keep them safe. The animals were so amazing.

04:52

There were so many different kinds and they came in different shapes and sizes.

04:59

Some of the animals were really cute, while others were downright scary looking.

05:09

We had to bring a lot of food and supplies aboard the ark, and feeding and caring for the animals was a lot of work.

05:18

Thankfully we found some ways to make our jobs easier. After about 5 months, the water started to go down, and the ark came to rest on top of the mountains of Ararat.

05:32

However, it would be another 7 months before we could come out of the ark. It took a long time for the earth to dry out.

05:43

We were on the ark for 370 days! When we finally came out, everything looked so different.

05:53

And as the animals moved out, God said from now on that they would be afraid of us.

05:59

That made me feel kind of sad. But we were grateful to God for saving us, and God promised that never again would

06:07

He flood the earth. And He placed a beautiful rainbow in the sky as a reminder.

06:13

My friends, whenever you see a rainbow, please remember,

06:19

God loves you. We need to do our best to listen to God, and to do what

06:26

He says. Farewell. Wasn't that cool?

06:34

Now if you want to learn a lot more about the flood, you should go to the Ark Encounter. Answers in Genesis has built a full size replica of the ark.

06:43

It's amazing! Well, that's all the time we have together, my friends. I hope to see you soon here on DAZN.
