How long did it take for Noah to build an ark?

The Bible does not specify how long it took for the Noah to build an Ark. Some say it was 120 years old, according to Genesis 6:3,

” And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. “

However his argument can still don’t make sense. But the Bible also says that Noah begat his sons when he was 500 years old, (Genesis 5:32).And it says he entered the ark at the age of 600 years old, thus making a difference of 100 years , that gap between he probably used to build the ark, but also this argument has a few limitations.

In short, the Bible does not say how long it was built, so it is probably something that is not very important for us to know.

The important thing to know is that, If the first world was flooded with water for the wickedness of mankind, then this second world in which you and I live will also be flooded in the same way because of human evil. Yes it wont be flood by water since God had promised that will never happen again, but the same God promised that the world we are living now will be destroyed by fire.

2 Peter 3:6-7kjv

⁶Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

⁷But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Sin such as adultery, corruption, hatred, intrigue, drunkenness, homosexuality, blasphemy, lust, abortion, theft and all others are what drowned the first world in the water. And that is what will drown the world we now live in.
