Why was Noah chosen by the Lord God? For he obtained grace in the sight of the Lord, and, Noah was a righteous and upright man in his generations”. How wonderful it is when Adam man recognizes today Jesus as your savior, and look at Jesus. It's like mirroring the same fear of Noah that, “I walked with God”. He who was chosen by the Lord for the continuity of the human race, and today in Jesus we can receive eternity.

The design of the Lord God for man's continuity and salvation Adam was on Noah's righteous shoulder with the construction of the ark. Abel is another example who, though not the firstborn, was righteous in the face of the Lord God, and identifies Noah’s personality. The only difference is that Noah reached the status of patriarch and begat children, an opportunity Abel did not have, but the testimony of his blood cries out to this day. At the age of five hundred, his only three sons were born to Noah: “ And Noah begat three sons: Shem, Dog, and Japheth.” (Genesis 6: 10).

The children were born at this age of Noah's life to hear from little ones of the promise of salvation as they saw the project that the Lord was carrying out in the life of their father. This was God’s purpose for Noah, to bring forth the birth of the children in the period of the construction of the ark.

For this purpose of the Lord God for Noah's life by gaining his children only at the age of five hundred years, there would be the possibility of aggregating a larger family for man's continuity Adam on the face of the post-diluge earth. The birth of his children at this age and at this time was for the children to walk in the presence of their father and in the teachings in obedience the word of the Lord God. Noah’s young sons were born and grew up seeing their father building the ark, and of course they went on to help in the Lord’s design and thus reached out to all the teachings of the Lord God and did not defile themselves with the world: “Make me an ark of Gofer wood: ... and you shall enter into the ark you and your children, and your wife and your children's wives with you. ” (Genesis 6:14a,18b).

The project of building the ark lasted a hundred years, and throughout this period men constantly observed something visible and significant happening, and nothing changed for them until Noah and his family entered the ark: “And Noah was six hundred years old, when the flood of waters came upon the earth. And Noah and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, went into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. ” (Genesis 7: 6,7).

Throughout this period the righteous Noah worked and the long - suffering of the Lord God was upon him all the time. All men knew him and knew that there was a great event taking place, because the news of the construction of a great ark was an extraordinary event and pointed to an apocalyptic prediction that was to take place; but carnal men were rebellious: “ Who in another time were rebellious, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; in which few (that is, eight) souls were saved by water: (1 Peter 3:20), even with these signs they did not want to hear, and Noah was righteous and proclaimed to all the reason for his work: “ And he did not forgive the ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness. ..” (2 Peter 2: 5a), and at the same time he sacrificed continual sacrifices to the Lord God daily in the form of a burnt offering.

The hundred years of the construction of the ark as the above word shows required much physical energy from Noah and his children, for the work was hard and totally arm and thus needed much strength and willingness to prepare the “Gofer wood”, Mount the scaffolding and all the structure necessary to build the ark. But Noah's feeding was a food of the Lord God's design, a diet beyond grain and seed, for this was the Lord's guidance on the food that man would consume after being thrown out of the garden of Eden, Genesis 3: 23. And Adam offered up the sacrifice unto the LORD, and did not eat of the flesh of the sacrifice, as Cain did, and burned grain unto the LORD, and fed of the beasts.vegana

Noah was also righteous in food and “Walked with God” with fear always by understanding the sacrifice, and the greatest proof of it can be seen in his attitude, for Noah’s first act when he came out of the ark was; “And Noah built an altar unto the LORD; and he took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings upon the altar. ” (Genesis 8:20).

This is the fear of Yahweh, and this made Noah a righteous and strong man. The food he ate during the construction of the ark was the same food he also brought into the ark, according to the guidance of the Lord God. “And take unto thee all the food that is eaten, and gather it for thee; and it shall be for food for thee and for them. ” (Genesis 6:21).

Here's the proof and the secret of all the proper feeding. There is no greater proof than the strength of a man by proper feeding, this is proved in this man Noah and by the word that the Lord God directed of the food that would go into the ark. The strength of the vegan diet of the Lord God, the first food taught to man is in this complete and perfect food taken into the ark. This feeding serves to develop and strengthen and give life to man in any circumstance or condition of his life or work. This food gave life to Noah, the sacrifice of animals gave joy to the Lord God, and allowed the long - suffering of the Lord God to be upon the life of this patriarch during all the hundred years of the construction of the ark.
