preparing for the flood

 

Nestled in the hills

of western Maryland

along a busy

Interstate 68,

a modern-day

Noah's Ark is being

built as a sign to the

world of God's love

and the soon

return of Jesus.

This undertaking

is drawing the

attention of people

from all corners

of the world.

*I argue that this is a great, if obvious, metaphor for sea level change and the fear surrounding it - as a sign of people looking for a symbolic rescue.

Also from the God's Ark of Safety Ministry website:

Is there another flood coming and will this Ark float? 

         In Genesis 9, God made a promise with Noah that He would never destroy the earth by water again.  This Ark is not being built to float or because of another flood, but as a sign of God’s love and Jesus’ soon return.

 

 

I saw this on the way back to Baltimore from Chicago a week ago, and (possibly) as a piece I need to go back here and take some photos of this thing - only part of the super-structure is built, so it looks like the photo above.
