Bible Question: Preachers often say that Noah preached for 120 years. Where in the Bible do we read this time period? |
Bible Answer: Hello olaja Preachers will take this verse to mean that there would be 120 years until the flood. We know that Noah took 100 years to build the ark (Gen 5:32; 7:6), so the assumption is that God appeared to Noah about 20 years before construction began. Steve |
