You're 600 years old and you've just built a giant cypress boat, filled it with animals, gathered your family and are standing at the door. The door is huge, heavy, and when you built it, you had no idea how you were going to get the darn thing closed. As you look out the huge door, the wind is howling and the sky is darkening. Behind you the animals are going nuts sensing the impending doom. Their friends and families are being left behind too...
Suddenly, the giant door is lifted off the ground and it creaks and groans as you are shut in. You realize, as you stand in darkness that everything you once knew would be wiped from the earth. You are shut in, and now as the rain comes down, your eyes go up, and you pray like you have never prayed before; that everything that God has promised to you and your family, he would fulfill. You're 600 years old and your life is just beginning.
