Bible Question: Where in the Bible does it speak of people mocking Noah for building the Ark |
Bible Answer: nae-nae, There is no specific reference to people mocking Noah. However, we can surmise a couple of things to indicate that he probably was mocked. 1. An interval of one hundred and twenty years elapsed while the ark was being built (Gen.6:3), during which Noah bore constant testimony against the unbelief and wickedness of that generation (Gen. 6:5). 2. Noah was called a "preacher of righteousness" in 1 Peter 3, where we can see that only eight persons, were brought safely through the great flood- namely his family! If Noah preached for 120 years, certainly he had much rejection as not one soul repented! The fact that "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household" (Heb. 11:8) he was most likely ridiculed by people due to no water body was even close.
