“Noah, His Ark and the Great Flood: They are for Real” is a very popular Lenten article. It was twice published under the same title: (Celebrity World magazine’s April 8, 1996, and Mr. & Ms. magazine’s March 30, 1999 issues). An earlier shorter version titled “Noah and His Ark: Were They Real?” was published in MOD Filipina magazine’s April 17, 1992 issue. Additional, more recent discoveries and information were later added. Another abbreviated version (pertaining only to “The Construction of Noah’s Ark”) was published in MOD Girl magazine’s March 25, 2005 issue.

“I (GOD) am putting my bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of My covenant with the world. Whenever I cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears, I will remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never again destroy all living beings. When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between me and all living beings on earth. That is the sign of the promise which I am making to all living beings.” – Genesis 9:12-17, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

The “Let’s Save Our Planet” section of Mr. & Ms. featured in two succeeding issues (March 18 and March 25, 1997) my article “The Ifugao Rice Terraces: Saving a Wonder of the World.” This is an updated version of an earlier write-up of the same title I wrote for Celebrity World May 8, 1995 issue.

The “Girl Trivia” section of MOD Girl March 25, 2005 issue featured a much abbreviated version of the “In the Bible” article that I submitted. I didn’t like it, because for me nothing in the Bible is trivial. It only included two items: “It is Not Delilah” that cut Samson’s hair, and “The Construction of Noah’s Ark.”

NOTE: See also “Noah, His Ark and the Great Flood: They are for Real” (Mr. & Ms., March 30, 2017) for the entire article, “Straight from the Bible” (Prime Weekly Edition, March 31, 1988) and “Facts from the Bible” (Celebrity World, April 17, 1995) posts.

 

“If something is crooked, you can’t make it straight. If something is missing, you can’t say it is there..... With much wisdom comes much disappointment; the person who gains more knowledge also gains more sorrow.” – Ecclesiastes 1:15 & 18, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.
