HONG KONG'S NOAH'S ARK!


Noah's Ark Resort Is Open In Hong Kong!

The tourists go in two-by-two: The Noah's Ark Theme Park, complete with fiberglass animals, sits in front of the Tsing Ma Bridge in Hong Kong.       The Ark in Hong Kong is Biblical scale measuring 450ft long and 75ft wide.       The Ark also boasts less authentic Biblical touches such as double-glazed windows and a fine dining restaurant.       The billionaire brothers who built the Ark in Hong Kong claim it is the only full-scale version in the world.       And the imaginative trio even attempted to give the giant boat an air of authenticity by placing 67 pairs of animals at the entrance, just like the pairs of creatures saved from the Great Flood by Noah in the Bible story.       The creationist-inspired vessel forms part of a theme park near Hong Kong which was inspired by a young girl's scrawled drawing of the mammoth boat.       Inside, real-life exotic animals can be found - including a nautilus, a toucan and reams of fish.

The Ark shines under Hong Kong's lights as a fiberglass giraffe stands guard near the entrance       Various fiberglass animals stand outside the Ark to mimic the Bible story where Noah took creatures on board the vessel.       The Noah's Ark Resort is now run by Christian organizations, who use it to promote peace and unity.       Matthew Pine, manager of Noah's Ark Theme Park, said: 'They had a vision to do something remarkable, something outstanding. They came up with many ideas. Some of them were really outrageous, but then they came across this girl's drawing, and knew it would be something do-able that captured imaginations. So they hired architects and engineers to create the replica of Noah's Ark.'       The Ark also includes a sophisticated-looking restaurant as one of its on-board attractions.       Guests on board Noah's Ark can also stay on the Biblical vessel in one of its luxurious hotel-style rooms.       The Hong Kong-based Noah's Ark theme park was built in 2009 and is popular among tourists       Matthew added, 'The reason we chose that moment in the Bible's story is because this is the message we want to bring to Hong Kong, to China, to the world: 'In our lives we always face floods, we will face trials, we will face difficulties. Hopefully Noah's Ark will inspire people to pass through those troubles as Noah did in his day.'

Genesis 9:12-16

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

Genesis 8:22

While The Earth Remaineth,

Seedtime And Harvest,
And Cold and Heat,
And Summer And Winter,
And Day And Night

Shall Not Cease.
