Noah Enters The Ark

On the very same day the rains began, Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives entered the massive wooden ark he had spent decades building. Every beast and creeping thing entered with them, two by two. Once they were all inside, Yahweh Himself shut the door behind them, sealing them safely within the only vessel of salvation on a drowning planet.

"Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and Yahweh closed it behind him."
— Genesis 7:16
Timeline Box: Noah entered the Ark on the 17th of Iyyar, the exact day the judgment began.
