Greentwiga, What we know about the building of the ark is found in Gen. 6. The time frame can be pieced together by backing out dates. It was 100 years in building (Gen. 5:32; 7:6). I hope this helps. BradK |

gen 3 says God will wait 120 years before destroying the world. 6:10 lists Noah's three sons as having been born. 11:10 says that Shem was 97 when he got on the boat. 6:22 has Noah building the Ark, and 7:1 has Noah getting on the Ark. The building could be anywhere between a few months to 97 years. I was just going by standard boat building techniques, which fit the scenario perfectly. Unless the Bible specifies differently, I use outside sources to understand. The miracle was not styated to be boat building, but the flood DouglasS |

Hi Douglas, The building was at least a century plus according to Dr. John Whitcomb in "The Genesis Flood". My take is that the "miracle" is the testimony of faith offered by Noah as recorded in Heb. 11:7: "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
