Cruise ships are among the most complex of all floating things in our world today and they’re getting bigger all the time. The largest today is “The Icon of the Seas” at 1196 ft long, 159 ft wide with 20 decks and able to accommodate 7600 passengers with 2350 crew! It required 30 months for construction with a huge army of highly specialized workers! In Genesis 6 God gave Noah instructions to build an ark that was so big, so complex in design, that I think it compares in dramatic impact with many of the great cruise ships of our day. The ark was 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high but when we consider Noah’s primitive tools and his very small workforce it was a comparable achievement to “The Icon of the Seas”, especially when we consider the Ark’s passenger list!
