On Noah's Ark

On Noah's ark, did the people and animals embark. They went on two by two, because they knew what God said was true. Would the Earth now meet it's end? or would God through Noah its preservation send? The other people thought they would survive, but they found out they weren't really ready when the flood arrived. Noah had warned them for many years and days, that they should amend their ways. They did know that their life would one day swiftly come to an end, and then their real pain would forever begin. We from this story can learn many lessons, number one to me is to be thankful for each day and blessings.
