Noah the Preacher?
Forum category
In fundamenal circles I have heard many an evangelistic sermon using the story of Noah and the ark. These sermons depict Noah as preaching daily to the people around him, warning of the impending judgement by flood and begging them to come on to the ark. Of course, no one listened and all but Noah’s family perished. However, I see nothing in the Genesis account that even hints that such a scenario occurred. Is this scenario just assumed or speculated, or is there another passage somwhere that says Noah preached to the people and implored them to get in the ark?
The probable basis for the highly speculative sermonizing is 2 Peter 2:5.
