What is is the Noah's Ark Guild About?


Noah's Ark Guild is about promoting a cause to build a full-scale Noah's for the purpose inspiring a revival of faith in God on three fronts.

1. Family: Noah saved his family from the consequences of his societies wickedness. We need a revival of biblical family values.

2. Creation: The flood of Noah's time is the answer to most of the fossil evidence that the evolutions propose. The flood produced the fossils, not billions of years of decay. We need a revival of faith in God as our Creator, Sustainer, and Revealer of truth.

3. Holiness: God saved Noah and his family because they were righteous. We need a revival of the Bible's message of purifying love that sets us aflame for God and delivers us from willful sin.

Size of Noah's Ark was not Exceeded Until 1884

Noah's Ark was three stories high. The square footage of the deck was equal to about 20 college basketball courts or 36 tennis courts. The first ship in history after Noah's time that exceeded its size was the Italian liner Eturia, built in AD 1884.

Noah's Ark as Big as a 5 1/2 mile Train

The cubic space of Noah's Ark was 1,518,000 cubic feet. This is the capacity of 569 railroad stock cars. The standard stock car is 44 feet long with a space 2670 cubic feet. This would make a train be about 5 ½ miles long.


I ask you to join cause Build Noah's Ark to develop a movement to build a replica of Noah's ark. Yes, I am serious! I fully believe God will help us build an ark 83' x 500.' The ark will contain enough life-size sculptures of animals to demonstrate that all the animals could have fit on one deck of the ark.

We will build the ark as though it were setting in water with the two lower decks below the surface. We will actually build only the top deck of Noah's ark on ground level. On this deck we will demonstrate that that two of all the animal families (fourteen of the clean animals) could have fit on one deck by building sculptures of these animals.

The first five hundred to join will be named Foundation Members and have special recognition in the Guild. We now have 273 in the Guild.

Johan Huibers built an ark half the length (1/4 the square footage) of Noah's ark in the Netherlands and it gained worldwide attention. People were simply amazed that his ark was so big. When we built an ark that is full-scale width and length of Noah's ark, it will create pandemonium in the news media. And this will call attention to the truth of the biblical record and inspire a revival of faith in God. People will come from all over to see this ark.

Noah and the Ark - Join the Cause to Build a Replica


We need a new mindset - a mindset of hope that expects revival. Too long we have just accepted the idea that our world, because of the times, is doomed to destruction. We cannot have revival in this thought-mode. We must believe that revival is possible. The only reason, I am promoting the movement to Build Noah's Ark is to draw people's attention to faith in God.

The Noah's ark theme gives us three revival concepts on which to focus.

1. Noah saved his family. Thus Noah's ark is a focus on the family.

2. The flood of Noah's time is the answer to most of evolution's false claims. Thus Noah's ark is a focus on creation and the truth of the Bible.

3. God saved Noah and his family because of their righteousness that stood is stark contrast to the rest of their society. Thus Noah's ark is a focus on the need for holiness of heart and holy living.

Let's catch the spirit of Nehemiah who said "The God of heaven himself will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build." As the Israelites rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, God mightily rebuilt their hope and revival was on its way. I believe that building a replica of Noah's ark, if we strive to build for God's glory, will do the same for us.
