This session is from the BibleProject Classroom class Noah to Abraham, taught by Dr. Tim Mackie. The entire class is available for free on the BibleProject app at https://classroom-beta.bibleproject.com/noah-to-abraham
In this session, we take a closer look at the design of Noah’s ark. Tim walks us through the ways that the ark’s design calls to mind earlier images of the garden in Eden.

That was great, thank you. And I loved your enthusiasm.
The location of the window is unambiguous in the text if you pay very close attention to exactly what it does and does not say: the window was just below the roof, along both sides (and possibly the ends as well), and it was just less than a cubit tall. The point is not belabored, probably because it is not especially important in the grand scheme of things; but the information is there.
Also the prototype temple is not Eden; it's the one in heaven, of which the earthly temples are all only copies. This is implied in a couple of Paul's letters, can be inferred from the Revelation, and is explicitly stated in Hebrews.
What is the best version of the bible to buy ?
I think, what you ve shown is not how creative the authors of the Bible are, but that the Bible is God-inspired.
Another interesting fact: Modern day ship engineers say that if you wanted to build a very large ship where the purpose is just for it to float (and not move forwards etc…) then the dimensions given for the ark are the optimal dimensions.
This is incredible. Thank you so much for doing these class sessions.
There is a lot of uncomfortable laughter throughout the video.
Wow!
Multi-dimensional, holographic theory?
John 10:7 —
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
The author is MOSES
Sounds like Kline, Ridderbos, and Beale
One man thinks it prefigured the tabernacle. One
15:15…they HAD eternal life. They died when grabbing and eating from the WRONG tree
no ark, and no flood. The bible has some vague nonsense about the size of this ark. No evidence it ever was built and certainly no evidence it could have withstood the violence that the bible describes for the flood.
There's also the problem of how this ark was built if everyone but noah et al were "evil". Where did they get the wood? The time to build it?
Why did no one else think to get on a boat when the flood waters were suposedly rising?
How did animals get to this ark? it would take years for them to get from the various parts of the earth. And no the nonsense about "kinds" doesn't work since there is no evidence of some population bottleneck for animals at all.
How could it have fit enough food?
What did the animals eat after the flood?
This story is ridiculous. And no, the claim that every culture has a "flood" myth doesn't work either since surprise, the ancient egyptians didn't notice this nonsense, no matter when christians want to invent that it supposedly happened.
The geology also shows that this nonsense is a lie. A massive flood lays down a single layer, sorted within itself. It cannot make individual layers, salt deposits, layers with dessication cracks on their tops, etc.
Rather than your god simply annihilating humans, it causes misery and death for every thing. That takes some stupidity and evil.
This is awesome 💯
🙌🔥
I just love this man talking
Bless you for bringing this to us. I’ve never known it this way til now. Praise Yah.
Which came first? The ark or the ark? What if the idea of the Egyptian ark came from and points back to Noah's Ark?
“I stand at ‘the door’ and knock.[?] Rev. 3:20
An example of how REAL historical things are types and pictures of actual spiritual REALities. Both are REAL and God uses them as a comparison picture for what Jesus accomplished through his ministry.
These sessions are my favorite ❤️
I've finally surpassed my husband in biblical knowledge, thank you Tim Mackie! 🎉
Ssshhh…no-one tell Ken Ham about this video
Don't understand the parallel between the dimensions of the ark of Noah and the Tabernacle because the proportions are different.
Several early Jewish sources indicate that God told Noah to suspend precious stones or pearls inside the ark to light it; in some traditions, it is a jewel-encrusted heavenly book.The gem would glow during the night and grow dim during the day so that Noah, shut up in the ark, could tell the time of day and how many days had passed.This was the explanation given by the rabbis for the sôhar that the Lord told Noah to construct in the ark. The word is rendered “window” in the King James Version of Genesis 6:16 but “light” in some other translations.
Jesus is Lord
This is all based on the golden ratio.
Niv is a terrible version of the Bible the best ones are CJB NLV, and nrsv
Amazing stuff! This is so simple, yet so profound. Tim is merely showing us how the Bible is meant to be read through these common literary connections. Once you see these it is so obvious… just don't tell Ken Hamm :/
Excellent
If protestants would look to the early Christian fathers of the East, they would find that all these "surprises" in interpretation and meaning have already been thoroughly and beautifully explained, explored and expounded upon. 😢
Perhaps protestants will eventually come to see the other "surprise", that Noah's ark was the ark of salvation, just like the Virgin Mary's womb was the ark of salvation.
Another important part is that God made his ark to rest on a mountain top further connecting the idea of temple and Edenic model
So RAD!!!! God is AWESOME!!!!!
Yes important but also what's important is that the Bible says when Jesus comes, i.e. the Rapture, it will be as the Days of Noah. Well….that could be any moment. Look up!
3 is also the Holy Trinity…Father, Son and Holy Ghost
I heard the window was at the top so they would only look up and not at the storm around them….similar to how we should be living today…
