God's patience and mercy towards man's evil ways was over ... and after
decades of building this massive ark ... God instructed Noah to take all
his family and every kind of animal into the ark ... and God's hand shut
them in ... and protected them from the destruction of everything that
was on the earth.
Thousands of years after the flood ... God's mercy and grace continues
to be provided through His Son ... Jesus Christ ... who is our ark of
the new covenant ... and we must also be completely "shut in" to His
ark, founded on the blood of Jesus ... as our covering ... our
protection ... from the evil that surrounds us ... and the day of
destruction ... only through Jesus Christ ... our Ark of the New Covenant.
Genesis 7: 16
Noah, and ... the sons of Noah ... Noah's wife, and the three wives ...
and every beast after his kind ... went in male and female ... as God
had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in
Hebrews 11: 7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet ...
prepared an ark to the saving of his house ... and became heir of the
righteousness which is by faith.
Hebrews 12: 1-2
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset
us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us ...
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is
set down at the right hand of the throne of God
