    Ge.6:13-18 (1 of 2)

    The Ark

    ""But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark,"

    This ark is Person specific, so the Spirit introduces him as a double for Son who is in context of "These are the generations of Noah."(v.9). Like wise he introduced Adam earlier.(5:1) His world a floating tabernacle, however, holds dimensions specified by God, which cautions us to treat dimensions are specific of one kind, as in the case of the holy city of God in eternity-'according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel." (Re.21:17).

    Length of the ark is 3x100 while breadth is 5x10 and height is 3x10. Compare this with the tabernacle in the wilderness. The court was an enclosed space of 100x50 cubits. Intent of the ark was unlike that of the tabernacle was for preserving the godly for a world to come. Instead of the old world destroyed by waters they were to continue the holy family God had covenanted his Son. The ark was sealed "rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch."

    The window in the ark suggested the window of heaven, representing the mercy seat and there was door on the side which let the generations of Noah claim the new earth. The ark was divided in three, "with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou mak

    The Son is tagged by 3, and the length of the ark is 3x100. In order to emphasize the judgment aspect the number 10 is applied to the generations of Noah. God found him righteous so he and his family are saved from destruction. As St Peter refers to him here as follows, "to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,"(1 Pe.3:20-NIV) In vv.14-18 the Holy Spirit gives us additional information.
