Wonderful News?

I remember, as a young man, dreaming of finding a great treasure that would change my life. I’m kind of ashamed that it wasn’t to benefit others... well maybe my immediate family. In some ways, we have someone that might have found a treasure... a treasure greater than I could have ever imagined. Somewhere around Mount Ararat, there is an image that looks much like a large ship. They have done some scans that seem to indicate there are passages in that ship, not a mountain feature that has tunnels in it. As the snow has melted, the shape of this ship has become clearer. What could it possibly be? Due to its location and distance from any large body of water, it is logical to assume, if it is a water vessel... it could very well be the Ark that Noah had built. We’ve heard the story in the Bible multiple times if we grew up going to Sunday School. It was an amazing story, but I think many have assumed that is all that it is. What would it mean for the world if it was determined that it was indeed Noah’s Ark. Truthfully, beyond fascinating a lot of people, for man it would mean very little spiritually. You see, if someone doesn’t want to believe, they will start questioning how two of every kind of animal could have fit on board. There would be questions on logistics, technology, age, etc. in an effort, by many, to discredit its historic importance. So, what will we learn, if it is indeed the Ark. It will mean yet another part of Bible is verified. Even more than that, it will support a young earth, not one that took millions and billions of years to form. How do I determine that? The Bible records only a thousand or two years before the Ark was built. All things were created by God in Eden around the same time as Adam. That means that dinosaurs would have existed in that timeline. How would Noah have known the creation history? Methuselah, the oldest person to live on earth knew (or lived at the same time as) both Adam and Noah. So, Noah’s knowledge of creation might have been from someone who knew Adam. Then Shem, who may very well have talked with Methuselah, lived until Jacob was a young man. Outside of historic importance is likely a verification of the Biblical account/timeline. Father, If it is the Ark, I don’t know why you have revealed it now but enable us to know how to use the find to draw in the lost. Amen
