Hi teresaa, The reference you're looking for can be found in 2 Pet. 2:5; "and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;" Additionally, from Gen 6:3 , it can be understood the time given as 120 years that Noah preached: "Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." I hope this helps, BradK |

Wow! He preached for 120 yrs!? I guess he was not so effective preacher (I see myself in him). How many souls did he lead to salvation? How many souls did I lead to the Lord? How many souls did you lead to the Lord? Thanks for the question/answer. iktoose |

Hello iktoose, Yes, it is also interesting - or notable- that Noah was commended for his faith in Heb. 11:7! As C. H. Spurgeon observed in his sermon on this text about Noah: "Note well, that Noah believed alone, and preached on though none followed him. There were no other believers, if you except his wife and his sons and daughters. There were eight in all; but I am afraid that some of these rather believed in father Noah than in the living God. Noah shone as a lone star. He stood like yonder solitary column in the midst of a ruined temple. He believed with an unbuttressed faith. How pleasant it is to associate with our fellow-believers! It is a great refreshment for a solitary Christian to get into a large congregation, and to feel in unison with the child’s hymn — “Lord, how delightful ‘tis to see A great assembly worship thee! At once they sing, at once they pray, They hear of heaven and learn the way. I have been there, and still would go, ‘Tis like a little heaven below.” But how would you fare if you were alone, or were surrounded by those who called you a fool for believing in the Lord? To dwell where everybody is sceptical is as injurious to faith as for a man to live where the yellow fever is raging. To have your faith pulled to pieces, and held up to ridicule, is an ordeal which some cannot stand. What if you should be like Noah, a preacher of righteousness; how stern the duty of being a solitary witness! He preached for one hundred and twenty years, and at the end of it not one person was ready to go with him into the ark. His own family was saved, but nobody else — not a solitary one. What a trial! How it has made my heart glad, during the month of May, to see and propose for churchfellowship no less than sixty-nine! But if I had to preach for a year with no converts, what should I do? I hope I should persevere, in the name of the Lord God; but what a trial! What if life were prolonged for one hundred and twenty years, and after all that preaching nobody believed your word! That would be an infliction indeed." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

BradK, Wow again. You sure got lots of resources, don't you? As I read the Spurgeon's sermon, this verse came to my mind, "there is nothing new under the sun," that includes my thoughts and my future thoughts. iktoose |
