In the present world, where is the ark of Noah?

The account of the deluge in the Genesis is the echoed in the memory of all of mankind in Asia, Europe, and both North and South America.  But where is the Ark?

In answer, one of the great scholars of ancient near-eastern texts who translated many of the original clay tablets recording the parallel account of the flood was Prof. Alexander Heidel (1907–1955) who was an Assyriologist and Biblical scholar, and a Member of the Research Staff of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.  He writes this:

‘The Genesis account is quite indefinite on the point under consideration [where the Ark landed], stating merely that the ark grounded “on (one of) the mountains of Ararat.” The name Ararat is identical with the Assyrian Urartu, which, broadly speaking, embraced the territory of Armenia. In three of the four Old Testament passages where the word Ararat occurs, the Septuagint has simply transliterated it (Genesis 8:4; II Kings 19:37; Jeremiah 51:27 (28:27 In the Septuagint)), while in the remaining passage the translators have rendered it with “Armenia” (Isa. 37:38). Since it is believed that the ark rested on the highest peak in the country it has long been customary to Identify the landing-place with Mount Massis (or Agridagh), situated a little northeast of Lake Van and rising to approximately 17,000 feet above sea-level.  Evidently through a misunderstanding of Genesis 8:4, this elevation has traditionally been called Mt. Ararat.’

How do you know when God's anointing is upon you?

There are likely as many proofs of spirit begettal or of God’s anointing as there are people experiencing it.  To some, the Lord may show His approval through answered prayer.  Others may experience peculiar incidents that demonstrate clearly that God is now dealing with them and supervising their lives.  

The most evident sign is the shift in focus in the individual’s life. What once was predominant (such as success in work, financial prosperity for himself and family, worldly fame or acceptance by others, etc.) no longer appeals to the consecrated heart.  Rather,  pleasing God in every way possible becomes the deep, primary goal.  

This change of heart is clearly visible to others and is the most evident sign of God’s anointing: “You will know them by their fruits,” (Matthew 7:20).  “Hereby we know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren… we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:14,16).
