Good Morning!
I have a question: in Genesis chapter 5 it says Noah was 500 years old. Then, Noah was 600 years old when he went into the ark. Do you think it took 100 years to build the ark? 100 years of people watching and laughing at him! Also, Noah did have ancestors that loved God! Enoch, Methuselah! We are studying about Noah with the girls!

Hi Sue.
Yes, it appears that it took at least 100 years (see Gen. 6:3) for Noah (and, I assume, his son’s and possibly others) to build the ark.
I wonder sometimes if Noah hired men to help build the ark, who later died in the Flood. That puts the fear of God in me, knowing that we can work to forward the gospel, and then, as Paul said, “be a castaway”.
God help us all to work and be found faithful in end!
