Noah and the Ark

Ilustration of Noah and his family tending sheep

Noah and his family obeyed the Lord. All the other people were very wicked. The Lord told Noah a flood would cover the earth if the people did not repent.

Noah preaching

Noah told the people that the Lord loved them and wanted them to repent and have faith in Jesus Christ. They would not listen.

Noah and his family building the ark

The Lord told Noah to build a large ship called an ark. The ark would keep Noah’s family safe during the flood.

Animals walking onto the ark

Noah’s family brought food into the ark. The Lord sent at least two animals of every kind for Noah to put inside the ark. Then it started to rain.

It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. A flood covered the earth, just as the Lord had warned.

When the flood ended, the ark landed on dry ground. Noah and his family thanked the Lord for protecting them. The Lord promised to never flood the earth again. He sent a rainbow as a reminder of His promise.
