Genesis 6 though 9 begins with the human race increasing but also becoming quite corrupt and wicked. Soon‚ God became so disgusted and appalled with the humans that He vowed to destroy them. He chose Noah‚ who was the perfect man who worshipped Him‚ and commanded him to build an ark. The ark was to hold two of every species of animal on Earth and his family.

In the Old Testament‚ we have been introduced to many influential characters. There are many characters who classify as prophets. In fact‚ there are a total of twelve prophets in the Hebrew Bible.

With this being said‚ a secondary goal of these
