Noah's Ark: A Symbol Of God's Sovereignty

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023

The idea for the design and building of the Ark did not originate in the mind of Noah. The Ark was God's idea and preconceived plan of rescue for anyone who would enter to escape the wrath to come. God has everything under control and will bring everything to a conclusion on His terms.
