  • Memory Verse: “Bring Two of Every Living Thing Into the Ark.” Genesis 6:19
    Noah’s Ark Memory Verse: “Bring two of every living thing into the ark.” Genesis 6:19 Story: 9 Here is the story of Noah. Noah was a godly man. He was without blame among the people of his time. He walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons. Their names were Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11 The earth was very sinful in God’s eyes. It was full of mean and harmful acts. 14 “So make yourself an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms in it. Cover it with tar inside and out. 17 “I am going to bring a flood on the earth. It will destroy all life under the sky. It will destroy every living creature that breathes. Everything on earth will die. 18 “But I will make my covenant with you. You will enter the ark. Your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives will enter it with you. 19 “Bring two of every living thing into the ark. Bring male and female of them into it. They will be kept alive with you. 21 “Take every kind of food that you will need. Store it away. It will be food for you and for them.” 22 Noah did everything exactly as God commanded him. 1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark with your whole family. I know that you are a godly man among the people of today. 4 “Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights.

  • In Search of Noah's Ark
    IN SEARCH OF NOAH'S ARK History does not care how events happen, it just takes the side of those who do great things and achieve great goals. At the time of writing, this scientific work I was guided by the only desire to enrich our history, to fill the gaps in it, to make it more open to understanding others, but not in any way to harm the established historical order in it. The constant desire to find God, to explain the inexplicable, the deification of the forces of nature, the desire to comprehend the incomprehensible at all times inherent in man. Studying the world around us, people learn more and more new things, and as a result of this there is a need to preserve and transmit information, whether it is in visual form, written or verbal in legends or myths. For example, in religious texts. "Noah did everything God commanded him to do. Upon completion of the construction, God told Noah to enter the ark with his sons and wife, and with the wives of his sons, and to bring also into the ark of all the animals in pairs, that they might live. And take for yourself of all food which is necessary themselves and for animals. Then the ark was shut down by God. Seven days later (in the second month, the seventeenth [27th-according to the translation of the Septuagint] day) the rain poured out on the earth, and the flood lasted forty days and forty nights, and the water multiplied, and lifted up the ark, and it rose above the earth and floated on the surface of the waters.

  • 1 Genesis 10-‐11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, Shall We Open Our Bibles
    Genesis 10-11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, shall we open our Bibles tonight to Genesis 10. If you're just joining us on Wednesday, you're only nine chapters behind. So you can catch up, all of those are online, they are in video, they are on audio. We are working on translating all of our studies online into Spanish. It'll take awhile, but it's being done. We are also transcribing every study so that you can have a written copy of all that's said. You won't have to worry about notes. It'll all be there, the Scriptures will be there. So that's also in the process. It'll take awhile, but that's the goal and the direction we're heading. So you can keep that in your prayers. Tonight we want to continue in our in-depth study of this book of beginnings, the book of Genesis, and we've seen a lot if you've been with us. We looked at the beginning of the earth, and the beginning of the universe, and the beginning of mankind, and the origin of marriage, and the beginning of the family, and the beginning of sacrifice and worship, and the beginning of the gospel message, way back there in Chapter 3, verse 15, when the LORD promised One who would come that would crush the head of the serpent, preached in advance. We've gone from creation to the fall, from the curse to its conseQuences. We watched Abel and then Cain in a very ungodly line that God doesn't track very far.

  • The Armenians
    THE ARMENIANS By C.F. DIXON-JOHNSON “Whosoever does wrong to a Christian or a Jew shall find me his accuser on the day of judgment.” (EL KORAN) Printed and Published by GEO TOULMIN & SONS, LTD. Northgate, Blackburn. 1916 Preface The following pages were first read as a paper before the “Société d’Etudes Ethnographiques.” They have since been amplified and are now being published at the request of a number of friends, who believe that the public should have an opportunity of judging whether or not “the Armenian Question” has another side than that which has been recently so assiduously promulgated throughout the Western World. Though the championship of Greek, Bulgarian and other similar “Christian, civilized methods of fighting,” as contrasted with “Moslem atrocities” in the Balkans and Asia Minor, has been so strenuously undertaken by Lord Bryce and others, the more recent developments in the Near East may perhaps already have opened the eyes of a great many thinking people to the realization that, in sacrificing the traditional friendship of the Turk to all this more or less sectarian clamor, British diplomacy has really done nothing better than to exchange the solid and advantageous reality for a most elusive and unreliable, if not positively dangerous, set of shadows. It seems illogical that the same party which recalled the officials (and among them our present War Minister) appointed by Lord Beaconsfield to assist the Turkish Government in reforming their administration and collecting the revenue in Asia Minor, and which on the advent of the Young Turks refused to lend British Administrators to whom ample and plenary powers were assured, should now, in its eagerness to vilify the Turk, lose sight of their own mistakes which have led in the main to the conditions of which it complains, and should so utterly condemn its own former policy.

A Review of the Search for Noah’s Ark Anne Habermehl, B.Sc., 25 Madison Street, Cortland, NY 13045 Abstract There have been many alleged sightings of the Ark and numerous attempts to find it, mainly on Mount Ararat, but search attempts so far have been without success. In the light of history, geology, and archaeology, we need to consider that the Ark probably landed elsewhere, and that there may be little of it left.

  • Noah's Wife and Heterosexual Incestuous
    Judaica Ukrainica I (2012), 29–46 No Name WomaN: Noah’s Wife aNd heterosexual iNcestuous relatioNs iN GeNesis 9:18–29 corinne e. Blackmer Southern Connecticut State University [email protected] [Noah’s wife] was a nameless woman, and so at home among all those who were never found and never missed, who were uncommemorated, whose deaths were not remarked, nor their begettings1. I. The terse language and riddling innuendo of Gen 9:18–29, which narrates how Noah comes to curse Canaan, the son of Ham, has engaged the inter­ pretive energies of readers since the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud spe­ culated that Ham had castrated his father2. The language of this narrative, bristling with obscure phrases, loud hints of dreadful sexual transgression, and pious cover ups, has often left subsequent interpreters sensing that the story has meanings that the narrator declines to delineate. Indeed, the only thing that remains clear is that Gen 9:18–29 functions as an etiological myth to justify the permanent subordination of the tribes of Canaan. Canaan commits an un­ speakable sexual crime against Noah’s family that results in the subsequent physical displacement and sweeping rejection of the customs of the Canaanite peoples. Indeed, Israel’s secure possession of the Promised Land is predicated on repudiating the cultural institutions of the preceding Canaanites. Whatever the larger and associated issues, however, interpretive positions have gener­ 30 Corinne E. BLACKMER ally revolved around two broad questions. What was the nature of Ham’s of­ fense, such that when he “saw his father’s nakedness” and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, it merited the terrible curse of permanent servitude Noah pronounced over him3? Second, what was the rationale for the punishment of Canaan and why, if Ham committed the crime, would his son Canaan suffer the penalty instead? Exegetical traditions have identified the deed for which Noah curses Ca­ naan either as voyeurism, castration, or homosexual paternal incest.

  • Introduction
    Introduction When the Khazar ruler Joseph wrote his response to Hasdai ibn Shaprut, a dig- nitary of the Caliph of Córdoba Abd Al-Rahman (912–961), in the mid-tenth century, he could have hardly imagined the approaching end of the Khazar Khaganate, and probably to his own rule too. The king of Togarmah (the khagan-bek?),1 Joseph, described Khazaria as a flourishing state, whose rulers governed over numerous peoples and tribes, a state that was capable of stop- ping the Rus’ and the other enemies of the Arab Caliphate from devastating all of its lands.2 Joseph’s description of the Khazar Khaganate from the mid-tenth century is not accepted by most historians. At the same time, Joseph’s letter in its unabridged and abridged edition, together with the Cambridge Document, are the only authentic Khazar written sources that exist today. This requires greater caution in accepting or denying the authenticity of the information they contain. We should ask ourselves: why does the Khazar ruler’s view of his own coun- try differ so much from those of most modern scientists? Did he want to depict Khazaria as a powerful nation—and a kind of a defender of the Caliphate at that—on purpose, in order to seek help from the Muslim countries3 (although it is unclear how the Córdoba Umayyads could have helped Khazaria), or are the described territorial possessions an expression of his claims?4 And what if, ultimately, the solution to the posed questions does not lie in Joseph’s letter, but in the modern view of Khazaria and the basis on which it is established? This leads to the issue of the reasons why the Khazar Khaganate gradually lost its influence and power.

  • AT the SUMMIT of MOUNT ARARAT-MASIS Melkonyan A. A. Academician of NAS RA the Most Valuable and Magnificent Names of Ararat
    AT THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT ARARAT-MASIS Melkonyan A. A. Academician of NAS RA The most valuable and magnificent names of Ararat and Masis for us Armenians have been known since earliest times. Ararat is mentioned in the Bible as a name mountains where Noah’s ark rested after the Flood subsided1. The word Ararat is presented as Armenia In Vulgatae and King James Bible2. It is suggested that the names of both Aratta (the 3rd millennium BC) of the Sumerian and Urartu (Van Kingdom, the first half of the 1st millennium BC) of the Assyrian cuneiform sources are derivations of the name of Ararat3. Great Ararat-Masis (5165 m) and Lesser Masis (Sis) (3925 m) Armenian historical sources preserved several mythological and folk legends connected with Great Masis and Hayk Patriarch’s generations (the 3rd-1st millennia BC) and kings of Great Armenia Artashes I (189-160 BC) and Trdat III (298-330 AD)4. While visiting Armenia William of Rubruck and Marko Polo saw Ararat and left testimonies about it. William of Rubruck had been told an Armenian tradition about the 1 Genesis 8:4. 2 Kings 19:37 and Isa 37:38. 3 Պետրոսյան Լ.Ն., Հայ ժողովրդի փոխադրամիջոցներ, Հայ ազգաբանություն և բանահյուսություն. ժողովածու, 6, Երևան, 1974, էջ 123: Kavoukjian M., Armenia, Subartu and Sumer.

Firstly, the story is not found within the Quranic text. Secondly, it was generally accepted that slavery was not linked to color but was a substitute for execution following defeat in warfare. Most importantly, scholars refuted the idea that blackness could be consid- ered a curse due to a number of early Muslim heroes being described as black.

  • Seven Mountains to Aratta
    Seven Mountains to Aratta Searching for Noah's Ark in Iran B.J. Corbin Copyright ©2014 by B.J. Corbin. All rights reserved. 1st Edition Last edited: August 30, 2015 Website: www.bjcorbin.com ​ Follow-up book to The Explorers of Ararat: And the Search for Noah’s Ark by B.J. ​ ​ Corbin and Rex Geissler available at www.noahsarksearch.com. ​ ​ Introduction (draft) The basic premise of the book is this... could there be a relationship between the Biblical "mountains of Ararat" as the landing site of Noah's Ark and the mythical mountain of Aratta as described in ancient Sumerian literature? Both the Biblical Flood mentioned in Genesis chapters 6-8 and The Epic of Gilgamesh in tablet 11 (and other ​ Sumerian texts), seem to be drawing from the same historical flood event. Probable Noah’s Ark landing sites were initially filtered by targeting "holy mountains" in Turkey and Iran. The thinking here is that something as important and significant as where Noah's Ark landed and human civilization started (again) would permeate throughout history. Almost every ancient culture maintains a flood legend. In Turkey, both Ararat and Cudi are considered holy mountains. Generally, Christians hold Mount Ararat in Turkey as the traditional landing site of Noah's Ark, while Muslims adhering to the Koran believe that Mount Cudi (pronounced Judi in Turkish) in southern Turkey is the location where Noah's Ark landed. In Iran, both Damavand and Alvand are considered holy mountains. Comparing the geography of the 4 holy mountains, Alvand best fits the description in Genesis 11:2 of people moving “from the east” into Shinar, if one ​ ​ ​ ​ supports that definition of the verse.
