God Asks Noah To Build An Ark

Obstacles to building an ark in our society

The Lord said to Noah, “In six months, I’m going to make the skies rain until the earth is covered with water and all evil is destroyed.”

“I want you to build an ark and save two of each animal species.”

Here are the blueprints to build an ark.”

Six months passed by quickly.

The skies began to cloud up and rain started to fall without stopping.

Noah sat in his front yard, weeping.

“Why didn’t you built an ark?” asked the Lord.

“Oh, forgive me,” said Noah.

“I did my best, but so many things stopped me.”

“The blueprints you gave me didn’t meet the city’s code and I had to change them.”

“Then the city said I was violating the zoning ordinance by building an ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance.”

“The Forest Service required tree-cutting permits, and I was sued by a state animal rights group when I tried to gather up the animals.”

“The EPA required an environmental impact statement concerning the flood and the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed flood plain.”

“The IRS seized all my assets, claiming I was trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and the Equal Opportunity Commission said I wasn’t hiring enough minorities.”

“I’m sorry, Lord, but I can’t build an ark for at least five more years.”

Suddenly the rain stopped, the skies cleared and the sun began to shine.

Noah looked up and said, “Lord, does this mean you’re not going to devastate the earth?”

“I don’t think so,” said the Lord.

“The government already has.”

God overlooks devastation as sun appears
