Such an easy question, from a story everyone knows. Right away the answer pops into your head. Even as children we heard this story and have seen hundreds of pictures of Noah’s ark and the animals going on board two by two. My wife made a quilt for one of our granddaughters with Noah’s ark, and of course there are two of each animal on the ark.
So why should I ask such a question which is so easily answered? Because most likely you have the wrong answer. You, like most people, said “Two”
Genesis 7:2 “Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,”
There were seven sheep on the ark? They are a clean animal so Noah had seven of them on board the ark. A story you have heard all your life, and you still had the story wrong.
How many other Biblical facts do you know but are wrong about? I guarantee, the number of sheep on the ark is not the only thing you have wrong. We go through life with many beliefs about God and His word without truly investigating whether it is true or not. We have been taught by our parents, pastors, friends, or through experience things which, if we searched the scripture, we would find to be false.
Acts 17:10-11 “10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
You have a choice. You can live your life based on the inaccurate knowledge you have collected throughout your life, or you can search out the truths which God offers in his Word. God wants you to know Him, but you need to search Him out. Don’t assume you know who God is. I guarantee He is much more glorious then you think.
