Wha Do You Know About Noah? Take Our Ultimate Rainy Day Quiz About Noah From The Bible

Last updated · 11 min play time

Noah was not a ship builder, but he was asked by God to build a mega-cruise liner for animals - a floating zoo. There are so many questions about how he could manufacturer such a thing, but he had God as his architect.

The flood was a response by God to restart the human race, hopefully this time with kinder, gentler people. It was heading to a point of no return and only Noah and his family were considered worthy to survive and move the planet in a better direction.

The flood account takes up only a few chapters in Genesis, but his legacy lives on through the Bible, so put on your rain boots, pull out an umbrella, because it's time to start raining down the Bible questions.
