Noah’s Ark as a literal story has been contentious in it's lack of logical physics but more importantly compared to the message of God’s refusal to destroy all of Sodom while there are some good people. As a literal history it implies God has unforgiving unjust anger management issues and a failure in the first attempt at creating a loving humanity and apparently not doing too well on the present one. Quite a contradiction to the message of Jesus' God of love and forgiveness.

Create an allegorical story of God’s just love of creation where in Hebrews "Noah" means rest. The mountain is symbolically God’s Kingdom of heaven. The "dove" is the symbol of peace or Spirit of God. The "rainbow" is God’s protection of creation. The "Ark" is symbolically the lifeboat God calls the faithful to build in the care of God's animals.

All the lovers of God are called to be Noahs, to build “Arks” of the Good News of love to rescue God's children and bring them to him where they will find Jesus promised "come to me and I will give you rest."

The Allegory of Noah's Ark: A Story of God's Just Love

In a land where humanity often strayed from the path of righteousness, there lived a man named Noah. Noah, whose name meant "rest," was a beacon of hope and faithfulness in a world that seemed lost. He loved God with all his heart and believed deeply in the goodness of creation.

One day, God spoke to Noah, saying, "Noah, my faithful servant, I have seen the suffering in the world and the pain that comes from straying from love. But I also see the goodness in your heart and the hearts of others who follow me. I will not destroy what I have created, for my love is just and enduring."

God continued, "Instead, I call you and all who love me to build arks of love and compassion. These arks are not made of wood, but of the Good News of my love. They are lifeboats for the faithful to care for all my creatures, great and small."

Noah understood this mission. He began to share God's message of love and hope with everyone he met, encouraging them to build their own arks of kindness and service. He told them of a great mountain, the Kingdom of Heaven, where all who seek God will find eternal rest and peace.

As Noah and his followers worked tirelessly to spread this message, a beautiful dove appeared. This dove, the symbol of peace and the Spirit of God, flew above them, reminding them of God's presence and guidance. Wherever the dove went, it brought a sense of calm and assurance that they were on the right path.

In time, the sky was adorned with a magnificent rainbow, a sign of God's protection and promise. The rainbow reminded everyone that God cherished his creation and would never forsake them. It was a symbol of the covenant between God and his people, a promise of love that would endure forever.

Noah and the lovers of God continued their mission, building arks of compassion and spreading the good news of God's love. They rescued God's children from the storms of life, bringing them to the mountain of God’s Kingdom. There, they found the rest that Jesus had promised—a rest filled with peace, love, and eternal joy.

And so, the story of Noah's Ark became not just a tale of survival, but a powerful allegory of God's just love for creation. It called all the faithful to be Noah’s in their own right, to build arks of love and to bring God's children to the promised land that is rest in his Kingdom.

In this way, the lovers of God fulfilled their divine purpose, living as examples of God's just and enduring love for all of creation.
