It took 120 days to construct the ark. We are to be conformed in the likeness of the Son. 40x3 where three is the command number for the Son. The ark was three stories high. Our body, soul and spirit are to be wholly circumscribed by the mind of the Son who obeyed his Father totally.
The ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits broad, 30 cubits high. Of the last point with regards to the height we have this line," Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail(Ge.8:20a)"
What does this tell us? We are living two worlds at the same time, world of the flesh and of the Spirit. Water level gave 15 cubits above, signifying each believer negotiated heaven and earth alike trusting in the Lord God.
Noah's Ark also serves to indicate the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ is in mid-air than on the earth. For this reason New Jerusalem descends from heaven, glory of which all earth shall see. "Every eye shall see him', even so, Amen. (Re.1:7)
Symbolism of body wherever the Spirit uses, is bound up with the Sovereignty of the Will. Thus symbolism of a Lamb and a stone 'cut not with hands' are within direct frame of reference to the Son.
Yet for the father of Canaan it was grist for his rumour mill. When Noah got to hear what he had done he curses him, "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." This is how many Christians who claim they are born again but still cling on to the ways of the world and of the flesh. How can the member of the body of Christ speak ill of another member? He stands or falls and is for Christ the Head to judge.
Heb. Noach meaning rest. Foreshadows Jesus Christ who is the Mediator between God and man. In a similar manner Noah serves as the link between the old world and the new. God did not spare "the old world, but saved Noah (2 Pe.2:5)"
The period "the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing," was one hundred and twenty years (Ge.6:3)) to which the Spirit gives a basis for baptism by water, where in few, that is, eight souls were saved by water'(1 Pe.3:20). Good conscience is equally applied to body, spirit and soul.
Righteousness of Noah came from God, for he testified, "for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation."(7:1).. The writer to the Hebrews annotates his faith as thus ,"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."(He.11:7) His faith was such God found him worthy to inherit the new earth. The ark foreshadows the body of Christ, the New Jerusalem.
Noah did not step out of the ark as he went in. Neither did His volume come by the ark. He did according to the word of God, and his body put on Christ as it were by baptism of water. So 12x10 whether you take in days or years is immaterial. He walked with God as Enoch.
He also became a husbandman that connects him to the Son, who would declare, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener." The Spirit connects Noah as having put on the mind of Christ. His three sons are like three branches equally representing the soul, the spirit and the flesh. "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."(John15:5).
One day Noah lay drunk and 'was within the tent'. Of his three sons Ham representing the flesh was quick to tattletale on his father.
um, ok.. so in your ark of noah statement, you meant to say it took 120 days to build the ark?.. instead of 120 years?.. hey man, I was just pointing out you may want to change the "mistake".. geesh man, read it for yourself..
In the lexicon of the Spirit the number 12 refers to the gospel. 12x10 refers to the life of Noah who built the ark according to the gospel. Which is gospel of salvation and of judgment. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."(He.11:7)
We are subject to earth time while with Omnipresent God time is of no concern. The Spirit gives us a reconstituted time where the Son who was with God from the beginning as well as his humanity are to be integrated. This calls for time on a different scale. This is what St Peter writes, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (2 Pe.3:8) Moses also refers to it. " For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Ps.90:4) Now is the day of Salvation, is a warning for us. Whereas our calling in his Son is set in His time. So we are nitpicking to speak of time that we cannot really understand. Faith is what we require.
