Bible Reference & Cartoon Description

Genesis 8:1-5 (NLT)
1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.
2 The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped. 3 So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days, 4 exactly five months from the time the flood began [1], the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Two and a half months later [2], as the waters continued to go down, other mountain peaks became visible.

Natural

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Only animals visible – armadillo, toucan, 2 mice, elephant’s trunk & ostrich.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:

In the original version I had a small ark, at rest on the island in the middle of the cartoon, but that was ratehr dull. I re-drew a larger ark, at an angle to the viewer & added the animals to give the picture interest.

Used Google Earth to get picture of scenery. View of Mount Judi / Cudi, 37°22’50.06“N 42°26’55.52“E, looking east. Mount Judi/Cudi is the supposed resting place of Noah’s ark… but there are other possible sites!

The animals present are, from left to right: Nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus), Wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) & Ostrich (aka Common Ostrich) (Struthio camelus).

Bible Doctrine Notes
8:1 GOD, Faithfulness (1.14F)
God faithfully kept His promise to save Noah, his family and all the animals, during the flood which destroyed the rest of humanity. God always remembers His promises and is always faithful to His people. Love and righteousness are parts of God’s essential character; from these comes His enduring faithfulness.
