The Bible Says It Took Noah 120 Years To Build The Ark

1st Peter 3:20, “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”

As our text passage of Scripture plainly says, it took Noah 120 years to prepare the ark. Unfortunately, many false prophets are gone out into the world. In an attempt to spectacularize the Word of God, false prophet Ken Ham of Answers-In-Genesis teaches the fallacy that it only took Noah 55 to 75 years to build the ark. Ken Ham errantly states:

“We would end up with a tentative range of about 55 to 75 years for a reasonable maximum time to build the Ark. Of course, it could be less than this depending on the age that Noah’s sons took wives.

Consider that the Ark was completed prior to loading the animals that the Lord brought to Noah (Genesis 7:1–4) and that they had to take time to gather food and store it aboard the Ark (Genesis 6:21). So carefully considering the text, we can conclude that the construction of the Ark did not involve the 120 years mentioned in Genesis 6:3 but 75 years at the most.”

Despite Ken Ham crunching some numbers and making a fool of himself theologically, the Bible plainly teaches that GOD WAITED for Noah to finish building the ark, which took him 120 YEARS. 1st Peter 3:18-20, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”

The Bible make is clear in 1st Peter 3:20 that it took Noah 120 years to complete the ark. God waited for Noah to finish his work of building the ark.

Please beware of Ken Ham's heretical teachings which are intended to con you out of your hard earned money. Even worse, Ken Ham preaches a counterfeit plan of salvation not found in the Holy Bible. ...
