    Ge.8:4 "Mt. Ararat"

    The Spirit has set the place where the ark would come to rest for our instruction and Ararat is another name for His holy mountain.(Is.14:12-13) "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."(8:4)

    In the narrative we shall continue the progress of man in which Abraham will represent the stand in for the holy family, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him."(Is.51:2). God fashioned Adam of the dust of the ground while the mountain signifies the rock, on which Zion is founded. "Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation" The seven pillars that wisdom has hewn, keep the eternal promises of God despite of the judgment of the old world standing on a sure foundation.

    "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged." (Is.51:1)

    Secondly, how do we fulfil the will concerning us? Redeemed saints have two worlds which are of the body' (a body hast thou prepared me) and of the Spirit. Each has, as the study of the Ark of Noah instructs us, carries a spiritual volume as Noah had, measurement of which can only be computed by one measure, which is of man and of an angel. Simply put it is the presence of God, it is word based and it is being hid in Christ. ("For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."- Col. 3:1-3)

    Noah preserved in the water speaks of a death every saint has to undergo. "that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:/ Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished." (2 Pe.3:5-6)
