After a twenty-year quest to build a full-scale functioning model of
Noah's Ark, an undertaking of what some call Biblical proportions, a
Dutchman, Johan Huibers has finished his lifelong project and the Ark
towers across the Dutch landscape.
Huibers, a Christian, used the Biblical book of Genesis 6-9 as his
inspiration following the instructions that God gave Noah right down to
the last cubit.
Huibers said that his motivation for building Noah's Ark was religious,
he wants to make people think and ask questions so they will have to go
looking for answers and ultimately find salvation and eternal life in
God.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Noah's Ark has been built and is on display not on Mount Ararat but in
the Netherlands and it is a testimony to Biblical history as well as
Biblical prophecy.
Johan Huibers, a builder by trade, started twenty years ago to build
Noah's Ark, a full-scale model of what Biblical Noah built 4500 years
ago. Huibers has finished his project and now in the Dutch lowlands,
Noah's Ark is a testimony of one Christian's desire to reach out to the
world with Biblical truth. Huibers' model of Noah's Ark can float and
its builder is considering sailing this sea craft around Europe and even
possibly a transatlantic cruise to America. This project is a testimony
to the historic Biblical account found in Genesis 6-9 and was the
building plan for the project. This full-scale model of Noah's Ark is
tangible evidence that there was a way to build a ship that could
contain the animals on earth, each kind of animal, and save them from
the worldwide Flood of Noah's day 4500 years ago.
In addition to its historic significance, Noah's Ark has a prophetic
significance as well. Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, spoke
of the Days of Noah and he referred to His second coming which would be
similar to the times of Noah. We do not have the time to explain all
that statement means, but for sure it speaks of a time of sexual
immorality, disregard for the things of God, and failure to repent even
in the face of coming judgment.
A model of Noah's Ark should cause all of us to understand these words
of Jesus and realize that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
