A Letter to NoahWritten by Arthur Zulu
Continued from page 1
You must have been happy to have been born close to creation—tenth in line of Adam and born 126 years after his death. Since your dad, Lamech, had other sons and daughters, I would like to know how you lived together. Did you squabble and kill one another like Cain and Abel? Or did one sell other? Or was there a rapist in house? There were families where such things were practiced long after your time. But I must tell you that we do all of these today. I will tell you about these things before I conclude my letter. But how were you raised that you came to have so much faith? And what occupation did your parents teach you? Did you farm, herd, or hunt animals? If so, how was farming, animal rearing, or hunting in those days? Did you enjoy it? There are all kinds of work these days. Some people are paid for spying, for example. But best paid workers are those who make dangerous weapons to kill their brothers. Were there such jobs in your time? Now, when your father named you Noah, meaning Rest or Consolation, did he know of impending flood? Because he had said that you were going to bring comfort to their work and pain of their hands arising from ground which God had cursed. But tell me: How did you fare in those days when those giants called Nephilims or Fellers wreaked havoc on earth? Did they hurt you or your children, Japhet, Shem, and Ham? I wonder how you were able to remain righteous and faultless amidst violent, idolatrous, and immoral world of those days. Even your family members were separated from sinners, too. You must have been specially blessed, Noah! .................................................. I am sorry for long letter. Please take time to explain to me many things that happened in your time of both questions I asked in this mail and of others that I did not remember. I know that I may have written many new things that you do not know. One thing I must tell you is that this world is moving so fast that I do not even understand it. But if I were to write all I know, your ark would not contain story of this world!I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Disenchanted Son.
