NOAH'S ARK

In ancient times, when God predicted the Great Flood, he forewarned the noble and righteous Noah to protect himself and his family and each species of the animal kingdom. Noah structured an Ark which had three decks, divided into rooms and a door on the side. After constructing the Ark, Noah found one male and one female of every kind of animal and bird and took them into the Ark along with food and water supplies. Even though the structuring of this Ark took Noah 120 years to structure and build, it led to the survival of all present in the Ark to survive future peril. As such, the way Noah chose the Ark as a vessel for protection from the Great Flood, choosing the right vehicle for business or personal investment is a complex decision requiring specialist support.
