244: Andy Walton – Jesus in Noah’s Ark

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:15,500
Welcome to good for selfie and
talks.

2
00:00:15,500 –> 00:00:19,200
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:21,800
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,800 –> 00:00:26,100
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,100 –> 00:00:29,200
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:49,700 –> 00:00:53,200
This week’s talk is a midweek
class given by Brother Andy

10
00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:57,800
Walton about this time of year
May 20 21.

11
00:00:58,400 –> 00:01:01,700
So he gave it on zoom and as we
were probably still, we were in

12
00:01:01,700 –> 00:01:06,300
covid lockdowns at the time and
this title really struck my eye

13
00:01:06,300 –> 00:01:12,800
when it was suggested to us.
It was Jesus in Noah’s Ark and I

14
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:13,800
just never heard anything like
that.

15
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:17,400
So I was excited to listen to it
and it really was a really,

16
00:01:17,400 –> 00:01:20,600
really interesting lecture on
Essentially kind of the types

17
00:01:20,600 –> 00:01:25,300
and symbols of Christ and God’s
plan for salvation that are in

18
00:01:25,300 –> 00:01:28,300
Noah’s Ark.
There was multiple points that

19
00:01:28,300 –> 00:01:31,600
brother and he made that were
really, really interesting to

20
00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:33,900
me.
No it’s I won’t forget

21
00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:39,000
particularly actually was when
he got deeper into the number

22
00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:41,500
eight so he did some numerology
on the number 8.

23
00:01:42,100 –> 00:01:46,800
And when I when I first started
that section, I don’t I’m not

24
00:01:46,800 –> 00:01:50,800
kind of quick to ascribe to
numerology but He really had

25
00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:53,900
some excellent points about the
number eight and there’s

26
00:01:53,900 –> 00:01:57,700
actually I went back to look at
the YouTube because he had

27
00:01:57,700 –> 00:02:00,400
slides.
You’ll tell from listening to

28
00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:03,000
the class.
He has a full on slide deck here

29
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:08,400
and it’s minute 35 that he has a
particular graph about the

30
00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:11,300
number 8.
And you’ll notice it just

31
00:02:11,300 –> 00:02:14,400
listening when he kind of his
final point about the number 8

32
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:18,400
is very striking.
But also the last Point, kind of

33
00:02:18,408 –> 00:02:23,300
detailing about the And how I
guess, I just never thought

34
00:02:23,300 –> 00:02:25,200
about the type of how they were
clean and unclean, animals, and

35
00:02:25,200 –> 00:02:29,300
has every kind of animal in the
ark meaning that the message of

36
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:34,100
God’s salvation given to us
through Jesus is for every kind

37
00:02:34,100 –> 00:02:38,300
of person in the world.
So lots of lots of really

38
00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:42,200
excerpt ATIV points.
Also, he does do some kind of a

39
00:02:42,700 –> 00:02:47,700
more kind of standard like
details about the ark itself,

40
00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:49,400
which was which was very
interesting.

41
00:02:49,500 –> 00:02:53,700
Resting at the beginning.
I also really love the point

42
00:02:53,700 –> 00:03:00,600
about relating the arc, to the
tomb and and God being the one

43
00:03:00,600 –> 00:03:04,400
that opened the got to be the
one that opened the door to the

44
00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:11,700
tomb and an open and closed the
door in the ark.

45
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:15,000
So fascinating, fascinating
class, really happy to share it.

46
00:03:15,000 –> 00:03:21,400
Thank you again to the person
who sent it in here is Jesus in

47
00:03:21,400 –> 00:03:23,200
Noah’s Ark by really Andy
Walton.

48
00:03:23,700 –> 00:03:24,500
Okay.
All right.

49
00:03:24,600 –> 00:03:28,100
Well evening, everybody, thanks
for joining us in our seminars

50
00:03:28,100 –> 00:03:30,900
for those who are new just
joining in with us.

51
00:03:30,900 –> 00:03:34,200
This evening, we’ve been going
through this, a short series of

52
00:03:35,400 –> 00:03:39,600
seminars running called Jesus in
Genesis and we’re on the third

53
00:03:39,600 –> 00:03:41,400
week at the minute.
So we’re going to be looking at

54
00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:45,900
Jesus in Noah’s Ark and quite
clearly.

55
00:03:45,900 –> 00:03:49,600
Jesus wasn’t physically in
Noah’s Ark as we’ve made.

56
00:03:49,700 –> 00:03:52,000
Made the point in previous
week’s Jesus.

57
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:55,600
Did not previously exist in any
way.

58
00:03:55,800 –> 00:04:01,100
He only existed when he was born
about 2,000 years ago, when,

59
00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:04,000
when Mary gave birth to him, he
didn’t exist before then.

60
00:04:04,300 –> 00:04:07,600
So, you might say, well why we
got these very strange titles of

61
00:04:07,600 –> 00:04:11,800
Jesus in creation, and Jesus in
Eden, and Jesus in Noah’s Ark

62
00:04:11,800 –> 00:04:16,200
and so on and what we’re trying
to establish is that Jesus did

63
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:21,899
exist in the plan and purpose of
God, And in God’s plan and

64
00:04:21,899 –> 00:04:26,600
purpose, he actually talks about
Jesus sometimes in a very

65
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:31,500
prophetic or way specifically
talking about what he was going

66
00:04:31,500 –> 00:04:35,800
to do and in, sometimes he
speaks about Jesus in a symbolic

67
00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:37,700
way.
And what we’re going to see

68
00:04:37,700 –> 00:04:44,500
tonight is that God talks about
Jesus in relation to Noah’s Ark

69
00:04:44,500 –> 00:04:48,100
specifically, and we’re going to
make prove that point.

70
00:04:48,100 –> 00:04:52,300
So we’re going to absolutely We
prove that we’re not just making

71
00:04:52,300 –> 00:04:55,200
this up, we’re not going to try
and stretch anything here.

72
00:04:55,800 –> 00:04:59,100
I’m going to show you that the
New Testament says that Jesus

73
00:04:59,500 –> 00:05:04,300
was something to do in a
symbolic sense with Noah’s Ark.

74
00:05:05,700 –> 00:05:07,800
So that’s what we’re going to do
this evening.

75
00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:09,900
I’ve been working on this for a
couple of weeks.

76
00:05:09,900 –> 00:05:14,900
And, to be honest, I hope you
get some of the absolute Wonder

77
00:05:14,900 –> 00:05:20,000
of this because I’ve been
totally and utterly Blown Away

78
00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:27,300
with just how many links there
are between Jesus and the events

79
00:05:27,300 –> 00:05:30,500
of Noah building the ark.
And so on, I’m really hoping I

80
00:05:30,500 –> 00:05:34,500
can get that across to you this
evening, if I don’t, then I’m

81
00:05:34,500 –> 00:05:37,500
sorry.
But I Just been mesmerized by

82
00:05:37,500 –> 00:05:40,600
it.
So so let’s just crack on then.

83
00:05:40,600 –> 00:05:45,800
First of all, just to explain,
when Noah’s Ark was actually

84
00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:50,200
happening, you can actually work
out roughly when the flood

85
00:05:50,400 –> 00:05:55,500
happened because of genealogies
that we given in Genesis itself.

86
00:05:55,500 –> 00:05:59,800
And you can sort of work out
when people were born and when

87
00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:02,500
they had their children and so
on and so forth, we’re not going

88
00:06:02,500 –> 00:06:07,500
to look at that this evening.
But you Can work out that.

89
00:06:07,500 –> 00:06:13,500
In fact, the flood happened
about one and a half thousand

90
00:06:13,500 –> 00:06:18,900
years after creation.
So just take my word for that,

91
00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:22,400
just just for now, but you can
actually work that out and

92
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:25,800
working backwards.
Therefore we can work out that

93
00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:33,500
the flood happened give or take
some years but one 4365 years

94
00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:39,200
ago give or take as I say, Is
when the flood actually happened

95
00:06:39,700 –> 00:06:42,200
and we’re not going to look
tonight at the evidence that

96
00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:45,600
there was a worldwide flood, but
there is evidence that there was

97
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:51,700
a worldwide flood.
So this isn’t a study on you

98
00:06:51,700 –> 00:06:56,100
know that side of things we’re
looking at Jesus basically in

99
00:06:56,100 –> 00:07:01,900
Noah’s Ark in symbolic type,
what is really amazing though in

100
00:07:01,900 –> 00:07:05,300
recent years and I think this
goes back.

101
00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:09,200
Back to about 2014.
I was reading in the Daily

102
00:07:09,200 –> 00:07:16,100
Telegraph Noah’s Ark would have
floated even with 70,000

103
00:07:16,100 –> 00:07:20,300
animals, and the universe.
Some scientists at the

104
00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:24,300
University of Leicester,
actually, modeled Noah’s Ark in

105
00:07:24,300 –> 00:07:28,400
calculated.
How many animals could he get on

106
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:29,800
the ark?
So they worked out the

107
00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:32,400
dimensions.
They worked out, the average

108
00:07:32,400 –> 00:07:36,800
size of each animal and And so
on and so forth, and they

109
00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:43,100
calculated that 70,000 animals
could have easily got onto the

110
00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:46,700
ark.
They even worked out the tonnage

111
00:07:46,700 –> 00:07:48,900
of those anymore.
Sir, how heavy wood?

112
00:07:48,900 –> 00:07:52,500
All that have been how heavy
wood, the art of art of being.

113
00:07:53,700 –> 00:07:58,900
The ark could have carried.
Believe It or Not 24,000, tons

114
00:07:59,300 –> 00:08:05,300
of people animals, whatever.
And Is it says there?

115
00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:10,300
Noah’s Ark would have floated
even with two of every animal in

116
00:08:10,300 –> 00:08:14,700
the world practice inside,
scientists have calculated.

117
00:08:15,100 –> 00:08:20,200
They also look to see because
clearly they’ve got to take God

118
00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:27,000
says take two of every species
of animal on the ark and and

119
00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:31,700
part of the calculations were
well what species, how many are

120
00:08:31,700 –> 00:08:36,200
we talking about?
And they worked it out because

121
00:08:36,200 –> 00:08:38,799
you don’t need to take every
single type of dog, for

122
00:08:38,799 –> 00:08:42,700
instance, on the ark because as
we know, and Janet and who’s

123
00:08:42,700 –> 00:08:47,100
better than all of us that, you
know, dogs can develop over

124
00:08:47,100 –> 00:08:49,700
time.
They still a dog, but different

125
00:08:49,700 –> 00:08:54,800
breeds can come over time.
Anyway, they calculated.

126
00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:58,900
That would have been less than
8,600 Birds on the ark.

127
00:08:59,100 –> 00:09:05,700
Less than 6,300 reptiles less
than 1700 mammals and less than

128
00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:08,800
two and a half thousand
amphibians.

129
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:17,300
So in all there was around about
21,000 animals individual

130
00:09:17,300 –> 00:09:20,000
animals.
So there’s two of each kind.

131
00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:25,200
So there’s around about 40, 42
thousand animals would have gone

132
00:09:25,200 –> 00:09:28,800
on to the ark.
And as I say the scientists at

133
00:09:28,800 –> 00:09:32,800
Leicester University in 2014
calculated, it could have

134
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:38,100
carried.
Easily 70,000 animals, so and

135
00:09:38,100 –> 00:09:42,600
birds and so on.
So, there was plenty of room on

136
00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:47,600
the ark to accommodate
everything that needed to be

137
00:09:47,600 –> 00:09:52,300
accommodated and have room food
and have room for water, which

138
00:09:52,300 –> 00:09:56,900
is pretty amazing.
They also calculated where the

139
00:09:56,900 –> 00:10:00,600
Noah would have had long enough
to build this thing, and we’re

140
00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:05,400
going to look in a minute, some
Um, people in Kentucky, who have

141
00:10:05,400 –> 00:10:08,800
actually built a model replica
of the Ark, and we’ll see a bit

142
00:10:08,800 –> 00:10:10,900
of video of that in just a
second.

143
00:10:11,500 –> 00:10:15,500
And anyway, there was lots and
lots of calculations done on

144
00:10:15,500 –> 00:10:18,800
this and how much would you have
to cut and how long it would

145
00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:22,900
take to play in its and how many
hours, and how many days and so

146
00:10:22,900 –> 00:10:28,200
on and so forth and they
calculated that if Noah and just

147
00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:31,500
his sons.
So there was only the four of

148
00:10:31,500 –> 00:10:33,200
them.
They were three sons plus know.

149
00:10:34,000 –> 00:10:37,900
And they worked a certain number
of hours a day and so on and so

150
00:10:37,900 –> 00:10:44,100
forth they could have completed
the whole Arc in 65 years which

151
00:10:44,100 –> 00:10:47,600
seems been incredible length of
time to build one bows.

152
00:10:47,600 –> 00:10:50,200
But we’ll see you the size of it
in just a second.

153
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:53,700
But of course the Bible
indicates that they had 120

154
00:10:53,700 –> 00:10:57,000
years to build the ark because
don’t forget, they lived a long,

155
00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:00,100
long time, back in the days of
Noah.

156
00:11:00,400 –> 00:11:03,000
So they lived over 900 years
back then.

157
00:11:03,300 –> 00:11:07,700
So 120 years to build the ark,
we’ve calculated, all the

158
00:11:07,700 –> 00:11:11,000
scientists have calculated, it
probably would have taken 65

159
00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:13,900
years for about half of that
time.

160
00:11:14,100 –> 00:11:20,700
Again, there’s plenty of time to
have built the ark and here’s a

161
00:11:20,700 –> 00:11:24,000
picture of this.
Isn’t the whole Arc, they

162
00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:27,600
couldn’t even get it on the
whole screen on this particular

163
00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:32,600
shot, but this, if you went to
Kentucky, you could be part of

164
00:11:32,600 –> 00:11:34,600
the Millions.
Has of people that are going

165
00:11:34,600 –> 00:11:38,800
each year to go and see a
replica of the Ark and actually

166
00:11:38,800 –> 00:11:44,300
go on it and walk around it.
It’s a 100 million pound

167
00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:49,400
exhibition.
It’s an incredible incredible

168
00:11:49,400 –> 00:11:55,500
thing that they’ve built, and it
opened in 2016.

169
00:11:55,500 –> 00:11:59,600
So, it’s only very recently
opened, it actually made

170
00:11:59,600 –> 00:12:02,600
Headline News.
At the time.

171
00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:07,700
And I’m just going to play you a
very short little clip of this

172
00:12:07,700 –> 00:12:13,500
replica of Noah’s Ark.
Noah’s Ark Is Standing Tall

173
00:12:13,500 –> 00:12:15,300
again this morning in Central
kentucky.

174
00:12:15,300 –> 00:12:19,100
What some call The Greatest
Story Ever Told is now shared in

175
00:12:19,100 –> 00:12:23,300
this massive replica, but after
two years of construction, it is

176
00:12:23,300 –> 00:12:27,800
both a Christian theme park and
a lightning rod for critics Mark

177
00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:30,000
strassmann is at the Ark in
Williamstown.

178
00:12:30,000 –> 00:12:33,300
Kentucky, where crowds are
pouring in for a glimpse Mark?

179
00:12:33,300 –> 00:12:35,700
Good morning.
Good morning.

180
00:12:35,700 –> 00:12:38,000
If the arc behind me seems
Larger than Life.

181
00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:41,300
Well, that is the whole idea.
Nothing like it has ever been

182
00:12:41,300 –> 00:12:43,600
built.
Before but critics wonder why

183
00:12:43,600 –> 00:12:48,400
was ever built at all?
This is the ark, encounter a

184
00:12:48,400 –> 00:12:52,200
chapter from Genesis told on a
hundred million dollar budget,

185
00:12:53,500 –> 00:12:58,700
four, floors of Noah, his family
and beasts Great and Small in

186
00:12:58,700 –> 00:13:02,700
this rendition they sail first
class through the watery chaos

187
00:13:02,700 –> 00:13:07,500
outside and seeing it is a
privilege and a pilgrimage to

188
00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:09,700
the Demarcus family.
What he first impressions?

189
00:13:10,100 –> 00:13:13,400
This is breathtaking.
It’s The detail just even

190
00:13:13,400 –> 00:13:14,900
outside.
As soon as we walked up it’s

191
00:13:14,900 –> 00:13:18,700
just jot draw dropping this.
Timber frame Ark was built with

192
00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:23,100
help from 100 Amish Craftsmen
following specs straight from

193
00:13:23,100 –> 00:13:27,200
the pages of Genesis.
It stands seven stories tall and

194
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:30,600
runs 510 feet long.
That’s almost two football

195
00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:33,400
fields.
Something to consider this arcs,

196
00:13:33,400 –> 00:13:36,300
Christian backers, consider
themselves, young Earth

197
00:13:36,300 –> 00:13:39,700
creationists.
That means Evolution junk

198
00:13:39,700 –> 00:13:42,400
science.
The Earth is only Six thousand

199
00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:44,100
years old.
Do you believe there were

200
00:13:44,100 –> 00:13:46,400
dinosaurs and people at the same
time?

201
00:13:46,400 –> 00:13:48,700
Absolutely yep.
I absolutely do.

202
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:51,400
I believe they walked
hand-in-hand Ken Ham, the arcs

203
00:13:51,400 –> 00:13:56,200
64 year-old Visionary, make
yourself an ark leads a Ministry

204
00:13:56,200 –> 00:14:00,500
called Answers in Genesis.
The truth is the word of God and

205
00:14:00,500 –> 00:14:03,500
we are Faithfully as Faithfully
as we can.

206
00:14:04,800 –> 00:14:08,300
Representing what God’s word
teaches us pretty amazing.

207
00:14:08,300 –> 00:14:10,800
Isn’t it?
This guy who put this whole

208
00:14:10,900 –> 00:14:13,400
project together is called Ken
Ham.

209
00:14:13,900 –> 00:14:17,800
And one of the sons of Noah was
was of course ham and there’s

210
00:14:17,800 –> 00:14:22,700
this guy in these last days
building this incredible Ark.

211
00:14:22,700 –> 00:14:25,900
Two football fields, long.
It is, it’s absolutely

212
00:14:25,900 –> 00:14:28,100
incredible.
And it’s worth watching more

213
00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:31,700
video of this to just see the
scale and size of it.

214
00:14:31,700 –> 00:14:35,000
And they’ve made, replicas of
all the animals that would On

215
00:14:35,800 –> 00:14:39,100
into the ark.
Anyway right though, I just

216
00:14:39,100 –> 00:14:42,700
thought I’d show you that just
to just to show you what we’re

217
00:14:42,700 –> 00:14:45,300
talking about here.
It’s just absolutely incredible

218
00:14:45,300 –> 00:14:48,700
thing.
In fact, right now that boats in

219
00:14:48,700 –> 00:14:53,000
Kentucky, is the largest wooden
frame structure in the whole

220
00:14:53,000 –> 00:14:55,300
world right now.
There’s nothing bigger as a

221
00:14:55,300 –> 00:14:59,800
wooden frame structure, anywhere
in the world so that just shows

222
00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:02,600
you the size of it.
In fact, there wasn’t a boat

223
00:15:02,600 –> 00:15:06,100
built bigger than the arc.
Until 1884.

224
00:15:06,800 –> 00:15:09,400
When want to brunelle?
Ships was was made.

225
00:15:09,400 –> 00:15:11,600
And that was bigger than the
ark.

226
00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:15,100
So, for thousands of years, four
and a half thousand years that

227
00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:19,200
the ark was, in fact, the
biggest boat ever built.

228
00:15:19,700 –> 00:15:23,300
Now, I said to you earlier on
that the New Testament, links

229
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:28,000
the ark with Jesus Christ, and
that’s what I want to quickly

230
00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:32,500
show you.
So in 1, Peter chapter 3, It

231
00:15:32,500 –> 00:15:36,800
tells us these amazing words
because it says, and this is

232
00:15:36,800 –> 00:15:40,200
Verse 18.
For Christ also died for sins.

233
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:43,700
Once for all the righteous, for
the unrighteous that he might

234
00:15:43,700 –> 00:15:48,100
bring us to God, being put to
get, put to death in the flesh,

235
00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:52,200
but made alive in the spirit in
which he went and preached to

236
00:15:52,200 –> 00:15:56,700
the spirits in prison who
formally did not obey when God’s

237
00:15:56,700 –> 00:16:01,900
patience waited in the days of
Noah during the building, Of The

238
00:16:01,900 –> 00:16:07,100
Arc in which a few that is eight
persons were saved through or

239
00:16:07,100 –> 00:16:11,600
some version Say by water
baptism which corresponds to

240
00:16:11,600 –> 00:16:14,800
this.
Now saves you not as a removal

241
00:16:14,800 –> 00:16:18,300
of dirt from the body but as an
appeal to God for a clear

242
00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:21,600
conscience through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.

243
00:16:22,100 –> 00:16:26,600
So what we’ve been told here is
is that this building of the Ark

244
00:16:26,600 –> 00:16:31,200
and the saving of the eight
people through water is the

245
00:16:31,300 –> 00:16:37,000
Equivalent of baptism today and
baptism as we know, is the full

246
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:41,500
immersion of somebody under
water and then coming back up

247
00:16:41,500 –> 00:16:45,200
out of the water again.
So we’re not making this up.

248
00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:49,300
When we say that there’s a clear
link between what what was

249
00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:53,700
happening with The Arc and what
baptism is and we’re going to

250
00:16:53,708 –> 00:16:58,700
see in a second that baptism is
all about Jesus Christ, okay?

251
00:16:59,400 –> 00:17:02,900
So that’s what we’re going to
have a quick look at That but I

252
00:17:02,908 –> 00:17:05,200
just want to point something out
really weird.

253
00:17:05,200 –> 00:17:09,800
Because do you notice there that
it, says, eight persons were

254
00:17:09,800 –> 00:17:14,300
saved through water or if you’ve
got another translation, it will

255
00:17:14,300 –> 00:17:17,900
say by water.
And you say to yourself, well

256
00:17:17,908 –> 00:17:20,900
that’s weird because they
weren’t saved through water.

257
00:17:20,900 –> 00:17:24,700
They weren’t saved by water.
They were saved by the building

258
00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:28,000
of the Ark.
Why does it say they were saved

259
00:17:28,000 –> 00:17:32,300
through water?
Because they weren’t and I

260
00:17:32,300 –> 00:17:35,700
puzzled over this just for a few
minutes that’s me looking a bit

261
00:17:35,700 –> 00:17:41,600
puzzled and here is the answer.
So as I say the authorized

262
00:17:41,600 –> 00:17:44,200
version says eight, people were
saved by water.

263
00:17:44,900 –> 00:17:48,200
And the as an example, the new
International Version says

264
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:50,400
eight.
People were saved through water,

265
00:17:51,000 –> 00:17:54,600
but actually, it isn’t a great
translation on either of them,

266
00:17:54,600 –> 00:17:59,500
what it actually should say.
And actually many times, it’s

267
00:17:59,500 –> 00:18:03,600
translated this word by or
through is translated as because

268
00:18:04,500 –> 00:18:09,400
it really should say eight.
People were saved because of the

269
00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:15,400
water or eight people were saved
on account of the water.

270
00:18:15,900 –> 00:18:20,700
In other words, What it’s really
saying is God, save Noah,

271
00:18:21,100 –> 00:18:26,000
because of the flood.
Wasn’t that the water save them

272
00:18:26,000 –> 00:18:30,900
at all, the water both great
death, God saved, Noah because

273
00:18:30,900 –> 00:18:34,800
of the water because of the
flood, God knew the flood was

274
00:18:34,800 –> 00:18:40,600
coming and he told Noah what to
do to escape the flood.

275
00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:45,100
It was the ark that save them,
wasn’t the water that saved them

276
00:18:45,100 –> 00:18:46,600
at all.
It was the arc.

277
00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:50,000
That saved them, the arc is the
critical thing and that’s why it

278
00:18:50,000 –> 00:18:53,500
mentions the ark.
Specifically in that 1, Peter

279
00:18:53,500 –> 00:18:57,600
chapter 3 Right.
Sound, look at this.

280
00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:01,000
Now when I put this imagery
together, which we’re going to

281
00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:05,500
start off simple and build some
amazing imagery here, so I’m

282
00:19:05,500 –> 00:19:10,000
hoping I can do this and I’m
really hoping it makes sense.

283
00:19:10,500 –> 00:19:13,600
So we know the flood is all
about water.

284
00:19:13,800 –> 00:19:16,500
We know that baptism is all
about water.

285
00:19:16,500 –> 00:19:18,300
So there’s a whole bunch of
water.

286
00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:22,300
We’ve got the flood on the left
and we’ve got baptism.

287
00:19:23,100 –> 00:19:25,100
On the right.
And as we’ve said, those two

288
00:19:25,100 –> 00:19:27,900
things are clearly linked in one
piece chapter 3.

289
00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:32,900
Now, normally, I do this bit
interactive but everybody’s sort

290
00:19:32,900 –> 00:19:34,600
of muted.
So I’m going to just keep

291
00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:40,200
rattling through this.
If I was to ask you, what was

292
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:45,200
the water all about in the, at
the time of the flood, what was

293
00:19:45,200 –> 00:19:51,500
the water going to do?
And the answer is the water of

294
00:19:51,500 –> 00:19:54,900
the flood was Going to do two
things.

295
00:19:55,500 –> 00:19:59,100
It was going to bring death
according to God, and it was

296
00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:02,200
going to remove wickedness.
According to God, God says, I’m

297
00:20:02,208 –> 00:20:06,300
going to flood the world because
the world is just so wicked.

298
00:20:06,300 –> 00:20:12,000
And I’m going to destroy every
living thing on the earth.

299
00:20:12,100 –> 00:20:15,900
That is precisely what it what
it says.

300
00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:21,600
Genesis 6 verse 13, the Earth is
filled with violence through the

301
00:20:21,600 –> 00:20:24,500
people on the Earth says guard
and behold.

302
00:20:24,500 –> 00:20:28,000
I will destroy them with the
Earth and he says, I will bring

303
00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:35,900
this flood, so the water that
God poured out on the Earth, was

304
00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:40,100
to remove wickedness and to
bring in an immense amount of

305
00:20:40,100 –> 00:20:45,300
death.
Now, if I was to say to you, the

306
00:20:45,300 –> 00:20:49,400
water with that, Them.
What is that?

307
00:20:49,500 –> 00:20:54,500
All about when we are actually
baptized what is the water when

308
00:20:54,500 –> 00:20:57,800
we go under the water?
When we physically baptized and

309
00:20:57,800 –> 00:21:01,500
our whole body goes under the
water as an adult.

310
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,200
What does that actually
represent?

311
00:21:04,200 –> 00:21:06,500
Any actually represents two
things.

312
00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:11,900
The first thing it represents is
the death of Christ and the

313
00:21:11,900 –> 00:21:16,800
second thing is it’s the
removing of wickedness or sin.

314
00:21:17,800 –> 00:21:23,700
And to prove that to you in
Romans 6:3, it says, don’t you

315
00:21:23,700 –> 00:21:30,000
know, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ.

316
00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:35,400
Were baptized into his death.
You notice it doesn’t say into

317
00:21:35,400 –> 00:21:38,600
his life.
We baptized when we go under the

318
00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:43,300
water when we baptized it’s a
pretend death really?

319
00:21:43,400 –> 00:21:47,800
Jesus went through a proper
death, a terrifyingly awful

320
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:49,800
death because he was nailed to
the cross.

321
00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:53,600
And we’re told in, Romans that,
when you go under the water

322
00:21:54,400 –> 00:21:59,700
baptism, is symbolic of you
dying in the same sort of way

323
00:21:59,700 –> 00:22:03,600
that Jesus died.
We’re associating ourself with

324
00:22:03,600 –> 00:22:06,800
his sacrifice.
I mean, fortunately for us, God

325
00:22:06,800 –> 00:22:09,400
has said, do something ever
simple and straightforward.

326
00:22:09,400 –> 00:22:14,500
Go into the water and that is
exactly like Jesus being

327
00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:18,500
crucified for your sins.
And I will give you the

328
00:22:18,500 –> 00:22:24,900
sacrifice of Jesus into your own
personal formula if you like The

329
00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:29,400
other thing it says about
baptism in Acts 22 verse 16 is

330
00:22:29,400 –> 00:22:34,900
that baptism, washes sins away,
be baptized and wash your sins

331
00:22:34,900 –> 00:22:37,900
away.
So the water involved with

332
00:22:37,900 –> 00:22:43,600
baptism is all to do with
Jesus’s death and removing sins,

333
00:22:44,300 –> 00:22:47,800
and the flood.
And the water there was all to

334
00:22:47,800 –> 00:22:51,200
do with death and the room
removing of wickedness, so you

335
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:55,700
can see why Peter links these
These two things together.

336
00:22:57,000 –> 00:23:00,000
But here’s the amazing thing
because all that’s about death,

337
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:03,700
isn’t it?
But Noah didn’t die.

338
00:23:03,900 –> 00:23:08,700
He was saved and what saved him
was a floating box?

339
00:23:09,200 –> 00:23:11,700
That’s pretty much what it was.
I know the model that we’ve just

340
00:23:11,700 –> 00:23:18,400
seen that they’ve built.
It got sort of a Stern and it’s

341
00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:20,700
almost got like a Rudder thing
coming out the back.

342
00:23:20,800 –> 00:23:23,700
Probably, didn’t have that
because God didn’t need to

343
00:23:23,700 –> 00:23:27,400
steer.
It was just a floating enormous

344
00:23:27,400 –> 00:23:30,200
to feel football field, long
box.

345
00:23:31,200 –> 00:23:35,700
So, there’s that floating box
and that’s what saved Noah.

346
00:23:35,700 –> 00:23:40,600
He had got the faith to not be
under the water.

347
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:44,100
He got the faith to get on board
that boat.

348
00:23:45,500 –> 00:23:49,700
Now, of course Jesus, when he
died on the cross, didn’t stay

349
00:23:49,700 –> 00:23:55,700
dead either, did he Jesus was
raised from the dead after three

350
00:23:55,700 –> 00:24:00,900
days and three nights.
And in fact what happened was he

351
00:24:00,900 –> 00:24:06,500
came out of the Tomb.
So he was put in the Tomb after

352
00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:10,300
he died and a three days and
three nights on the Sunday

353
00:24:10,300 –> 00:24:14,100
morning.
First day of the week LT comes

354
00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:20,100
and the stone was rolled away
and he came out of the Tomb to

355
00:24:20,100 –> 00:24:24,200
life again.
I just have a quick if you’re in

356
00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:30,300
Genesis.
If you have, if you have a look

357
00:24:30,300 –> 00:24:33,700
in Genesis chapter 6, I think
it’s chunky sequentially.

358
00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:40,500
Yeah, sorry, it’s Genesis
chapter 8.

359
00:24:40,500 –> 00:24:47,400
Verse 18 in Genesis chapter 8,
verse 18, it talks about Noah

360
00:24:47,900 –> 00:24:50,800
going forth with his sons and
his wife and his sons wives with

361
00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:54,100
him and all the beasts and
creeping things and fowls, and

362
00:24:54,100 –> 00:24:56,600
whatsoever that creepeth upon
the Earth after their kinds,

363
00:24:56,600 –> 00:25:02,000
they went forth out of the Ark.
So Noah began a new life.

364
00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:04,500
Didn’t he?
When he came off off the ark,

365
00:25:04,500 –> 00:25:07,800
there was a new beginning for
Noah a new life.

366
00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:12,000
Really in a new world at that
point, because when the ark came

367
00:25:12,000 –> 00:25:15,500
to rest on our about that, we’ll
look at in a minute, it was a

368
00:25:15,500 –> 00:25:17,900
brand new beginning and a brand
new life.

369
00:25:18,500 –> 00:25:22,700
And, of course, Jesus began a
brand new life, really?

370
00:25:22,700 –> 00:25:24,700
When he was raised from the
dead, because he was made

371
00:25:24,700 –> 00:25:27,500
Immortal, but the Wonder of it
all.

372
00:25:27,500 –> 00:25:31,700
Is that, when you look at
baptism, it has exactly the same

373
00:25:31,700 –> 00:25:36,900
themes in relation to baptism in
Romans, chapter 6, verse 4.

374
00:25:37,500 –> 00:25:43,600
It says When you’ve been
baptized, we then also walk in a

375
00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:47,200
new life.
So when we’ve been baptized and

376
00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:52,500
our sins have been washed away,
we’re told by the Apostle, Paul

377
00:25:52,500 –> 00:25:56,000
in the letter to the Romans,
that that’s like a new life.

378
00:25:56,700 –> 00:26:01,200
And in fact, the next verse
verse 5 says that, just as Jesus

379
00:26:01,200 –> 00:26:05,700
was raised from the dead.
So also we will be in the

380
00:26:05,700 –> 00:26:08,000
likeness of his resurrection as
well.

381
00:26:08,100 –> 00:26:12,600
Well so he basically says, look
if you’ve been baptized, you

382
00:26:12,800 –> 00:26:16,600
amazingly are going to be
resurrected.

383
00:26:16,600 –> 00:26:20,700
If you die before, Jesus gets
back in just the same way that

384
00:26:20,700 –> 00:26:25,400
Jesus was raised from the dead.
So baptism is a little symbolic

385
00:26:25,400 –> 00:26:31,100
picture of exactly what Jesus
went through his death and his

386
00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:36,100
resurrection and we are baptized
into his death and then we walk

387
00:26:36,400 –> 00:26:38,800
a new life.
And if we die, Beforehand.

388
00:26:38,800 –> 00:26:42,000
It doesn’t matter because when
Jesus gets back, we going to

389
00:26:42,000 –> 00:26:45,300
walk a new life.
Can you see how all these things

390
00:26:45,900 –> 00:26:49,100
are linked together?
So here’s somebody being

391
00:26:49,100 –> 00:26:50,800
baptized.
Can you see that little person

392
00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:52,500
that’s flicked on to the screen
there?

393
00:26:53,100 –> 00:26:56,100
So when you’re baptized, you go
right under the water in like a

394
00:26:56,108 –> 00:27:00,300
big bath.
We baptize people in hot tubs

395
00:27:00,300 –> 00:27:05,300
and baths and under the stage at
this.

396
00:27:05,900 –> 00:27:08,900
Pershore meeting there was a
proper bath dug under the

397
00:27:09,300 –> 00:27:12,300
platform at the front but of
course, the person doesn’t stay

398
00:27:12,300 –> 00:27:15,700
under water.
We lift them up out of the water

399
00:27:16,300 –> 00:27:19,900
and they begin this new life
with their sins forgiven.

400
00:27:21,000 –> 00:27:25,100
So that is why Peter links these
things together.

401
00:27:25,900 –> 00:27:29,700
But you know something.
Now can you see something quite

402
00:27:29,700 –> 00:27:33,400
weird here that the arc on the
left there with the door in the

403
00:27:33,400 –> 00:27:37,200
side?
Looks a little bit similar to

404
00:27:37,200 –> 00:27:41,000
the Grave.
The tomb that’s been opened when

405
00:27:41,000 –> 00:27:45,000
Jesus walked out of the Tomb,
can you see this sort of look a

406
00:27:45,008 –> 00:27:49,200
little bit similar?
And when I put these two images

407
00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:53,800
on the screen, I had no idea at
the time that they were going to

408
00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:55,800
look the same.
I just found two images of put

409
00:27:55,800 –> 00:27:58,600
them on the screen and I was
just staring at them.

410
00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:05,200
Thinking these two things are
remarkably the same and here’s

411
00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:09,900
something else really amazing
because in Genesis chapter 7

412
00:28:10,100 –> 00:28:16,800
verse 16, Wait hold specifically
that when Noah got on board the

413
00:28:16,800 –> 00:28:21,800
ark with all the animals, it
says that the Lord shut him in.

414
00:28:22,500 –> 00:28:28,100
It literally means that God
sealed him in so no we didn’t

415
00:28:28,100 –> 00:28:31,700
shut the door and sort of pull
it to God.

416
00:28:32,200 –> 00:28:37,900
Shut the door and he sealed it.
Now there’s a very, very

417
00:28:37,900 –> 00:28:40,800
important reason why God did
that if you imagine.

418
00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:44,100
No, has built this enormous.
Enormous enormous Arc enormous

419
00:28:44,100 –> 00:28:48,900
boat made out of wood and in the
side of it, we’re told he puts a

420
00:28:48,900 –> 00:28:52,400
door.
Now, this door is also made out

421
00:28:52,400 –> 00:28:55,300
of wood and yeah, we covered it
in pitch and all the rest of it.

422
00:28:56,000 –> 00:29:02,200
But basically, this was the
weakest point, on the whole of

423
00:29:02,200 –> 00:29:06,700
this Arc, wasn’t it.
If any water got through any

424
00:29:06,700 –> 00:29:11,100
part of that door, that boat
would start to sink

425
00:29:11,100 –> 00:29:14,900
categorically?
Now in modern boats we’ve got we

426
00:29:14,900 –> 00:29:19,100
used to hydraulic systems that
were you can you can sort of

427
00:29:19,100 –> 00:29:24,700
turn great, big wheels and
completely seal windows and

428
00:29:24,700 –> 00:29:27,500
doors that were under the water
but you imagine trying to do

429
00:29:27,500 –> 00:29:29,900
that out of wood.
That’s slightly twists and

430
00:29:29,900 –> 00:29:32,200
bends.
It would have been known

431
00:29:32,200 –> 00:29:37,000
impossible for Noah to seal that
door to the extent that not a

432
00:29:37,000 –> 00:29:41,200
speck of water.
Would have got in and you might

433
00:29:41,200 –> 00:29:44,500
have said, well, Well, perhaps
the door would have floated

434
00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:48,600
above the surface of the water
but you know, something it

435
00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:53,800
wouldn’t because they’ve
calculated how low the ark would

436
00:29:53,800 –> 00:30:01,200
have sunk in the water with
around about 20,000 tons of

437
00:30:01,200 –> 00:30:06,600
animals on the ark and it would
have sunk very, very, very low

438
00:30:06,600 –> 00:30:08,400
in the water.
Indeed, it wouldn’t have gone

439
00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:10,400
under.
It would have floated, they’ve

440
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:15,600
calculated that, but We’ve been
very low in the water and it

441
00:30:15,600 –> 00:30:19,600
doesn’t matter which story they
built the door in the side of

442
00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:24,500
the arc on, it would absolutely
have gone under the water line.

443
00:30:24,900 –> 00:30:29,600
So the door itself was under the
water line which was why it was

444
00:30:29,600 –> 00:30:32,800
that God sealed the door to stop
water getting in.

445
00:30:32,800 –> 00:30:36,400
You can imagine, can’t you that
if there was any slight chink,

446
00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:41,000
the slightest Chink at all and
water was coming in.

447
00:30:41,300 –> 00:30:44,500
It would have been impossible to
bail the water out because

448
00:30:44,500 –> 00:30:47,300
you’ve got to run up four
stories with a three stories

449
00:30:47,300 –> 00:30:51,100
with a bucket to have emptied
out the top to run back down and

450
00:30:51,300 –> 00:30:56,000
eight people could never ever
have emptied the Arc of water so

451
00:30:56,000 –> 00:31:02,200
God sealed the door. but then
you come to the resurrection of

452
00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:08,500
Jesus Christ when he walked out
of well, what did he walk out of

453
00:31:11,000 –> 00:31:15,700
In Matthew chapter 28 verse 2.
It says that the angel of the

454
00:31:15,700 –> 00:31:21,100
Lord came and rolled back the
Stone from the door.

455
00:31:22,100 –> 00:31:27,400
So, basically, we’re told that
the entrance to the tomb was

456
00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:32,300
like a door and the very end,
just a few verses later.

457
00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:36,600
We’re told the pilot asked for
the stone to be sealed.

458
00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:41,200
So, this was a sealed, Stone
across the mouth of the Tomb

459
00:31:41,200 –> 00:31:47,000
where Jesus was lying completely
dead and an angel of the Lord

460
00:31:47,000 –> 00:31:53,200
comes and unseals that door
rolls a stone back and Jesus

461
00:31:53,200 –> 00:31:56,100
comes out blinking into the
sunlight.

462
00:31:57,300 –> 00:32:02,500
And so what we’ve got is Noah in
the Old Testament.

463
00:32:02,500 –> 00:32:06,200
Walking onto the art, God seals
the door in the New Testament,

464
00:32:06,200 –> 00:32:10,800
we’ve got Jesus coming out.
And thus, and the doorway is

465
00:32:10,800 –> 00:32:14,800
unsealed and walking out
Immortal is the Lord.

466
00:32:14,800 –> 00:32:19,900
Jesus Christ amazingly as well.
I mean, this was starting to

467
00:32:19,908 –> 00:32:21,400
blow my mind.
Really looking at all this

468
00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:28,400
imagery in John, chapter 10
verse 9, Jesus says, I am the

469
00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:32,200
door by me.
If any man enters in, he will be

470
00:32:32,200 –> 00:32:39,000
saved and look what it says and
shall go in and out and find

471
00:32:39,100 –> 00:32:41,400
find pasture.
And I’ve read this verse, I

472
00:32:41,400 –> 00:32:44,300
can’t begin to tell you how many
thousands of times.

473
00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:48,600
And I’ve never thought about the
going in and out.

474
00:32:49,300 –> 00:32:54,200
What Jesus is saying, is just as
Noah went in to the ark.

475
00:32:55,500 –> 00:33:00,100
When he was safe for a short
period of time, eventually

476
00:33:00,400 –> 00:33:03,800
you’re going to come out
blinking into the sunlight.

477
00:33:04,200 –> 00:33:08,700
Really?
That floating boat is almost a

478
00:33:08,700 –> 00:33:11,400
little bit.
Like the tomb that Jesus was in.

479
00:33:11,700 –> 00:33:13,900
They were as good as Dead really
in that tomb.

480
00:33:13,900 –> 00:33:16,700
They were floating probably
under the water line.

481
00:33:16,700 –> 00:33:19,700
When they were inside the ark,
they were almost under the

482
00:33:19,700 –> 00:33:22,300
water, but God was protecting
them.

483
00:33:23,200 –> 00:33:25,200
He didn’t suffer them to see any
corruption.

484
00:33:25,300 –> 00:33:27,800
None at all.
They didn’t die.

485
00:33:28,100 –> 00:33:31,900
And then when the ark, finally,
landed, the door was opened and

486
00:33:32,000 –> 00:33:34,200
out.
They came, they went in and they

487
00:33:34,200 –> 00:33:37,700
came out.
Jesus went into the tomb dead.

488
00:33:38,200 –> 00:33:44,400
He came out 100% alive and
Immortal, it’s incredible how

489
00:33:44,400 –> 00:33:51,200
all this imagery links together.
And of course, one day, the ark

490
00:33:51,200 –> 00:33:55,100
landed on Mount Ararat and the
door was opened.

491
00:33:55,800 –> 00:33:59,600
And out never came into this
beautiful sunshine.

492
00:34:00,200 –> 00:34:02,200
I don’t know what the world
would have looked like to be

493
00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:04,800
perfectly honest.
When Noah came out, it probably

494
00:34:04,800 –> 00:34:07,400
didn’t look totally brilliant
because the world have been

495
00:34:07,400 –> 00:34:10,600
flooded for many, many, many
months.

496
00:34:10,900 –> 00:34:14,900
But either way, is now out this
pitch black Arc, that he was

497
00:34:14,900 –> 00:34:18,699
inside with all these animals
smelling and bleating and

498
00:34:19,100 –> 00:34:21,900
barring and whatever else they
did an hour.

499
00:34:21,900 –> 00:34:25,500
T comes into a brand new world,
just him and his family.

500
00:34:25,600 –> 00:34:31,199
How to repopulate the world?
Jesus came out of the Tomb.

501
00:34:32,199 –> 00:34:37,800
Well, we know, he came out into
a garden, Mary Magdalene who saw

502
00:34:37,800 –> 00:34:39,900
Jesus as he came out of the
Tomb.

503
00:34:39,900 –> 00:34:42,400
Thought he was the gardener, he
came out into a beautiful garden

504
00:34:42,400 –> 00:34:46,300
and again, it was a brand new
life for him.

505
00:34:46,300 –> 00:34:53,600
And it was all about Jesus, then
beginning, effectively his job

506
00:34:53,600 –> 00:34:59,600
of bringing more and more people
to eternal life as well, to

507
00:34:59,600 –> 00:35:03,400
start a brand new life with him,
but many Many years into the

508
00:35:03,400 –> 00:35:06,300
future, in the coming kingdom of
God.

509
00:35:06,300 –> 00:35:11,800
But can you see how these things
Link in Genesis chapter 8 verse

510
00:35:11,800 –> 00:35:13,800
18?
We’ve read this Noah went forth

511
00:35:13,800 –> 00:35:17,500
and his sons and his wife and
his sons wives with him every

512
00:35:17,500 –> 00:35:20,200
Beast, every creeping thing, and
every fowl and whatsoever

513
00:35:20,200 –> 00:35:23,900
creepeth upon the Earth after
their species, after their

514
00:35:23,900 –> 00:35:26,100
kinds, they went forth out of
the Ark.

515
00:35:26,900 –> 00:35:32,000
I mean, how amazing is this?
What from the darkness and

516
00:35:32,100 –> 00:35:35,400
Despair of being inside the arc
because it wasn’t the happy

517
00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:37,500
lovely plays.
It was Pitch Black.

518
00:35:38,200 –> 00:35:40,600
It would have been a while.
It might not be pitch-black, who

519
00:35:40,600 –> 00:35:41,900
knows?
They might have had a few

520
00:35:41,900 –> 00:35:45,300
candles in there, I don’t know,
but it certainly was not a

521
00:35:45,308 –> 00:35:50,900
pleasant place to be in.
So, then walk out into a world

522
00:35:50,900 –> 00:35:53,500
restored.
Well, it’s an incredible thing.

523
00:35:54,100 –> 00:35:58,100
And there we are, there’s Jesus
took him down from the tree,

524
00:35:58,100 –> 00:36:02,000
laid him in the Sepulchre, but
God raised him from the dead.

525
00:36:06,100 –> 00:36:08,600
I’m going to show you some more.
I mean, honestly, I could talk

526
00:36:08,600 –> 00:36:10,900
all night about this, but I’m
going to get through some of

527
00:36:10,908 –> 00:36:14,100
these other things.
Because once you start

528
00:36:14,100 –> 00:36:19,100
understanding that, the ark and
the flood related to Jesus and

529
00:36:19,100 –> 00:36:23,500
his sacrifice, there’s amazing
things that come out before your

530
00:36:23,500 –> 00:36:25,700
eyes.
Let me just deal with a few of

531
00:36:25,700 –> 00:36:27,700
these.
One of them is that God rescued

532
00:36:27,700 –> 00:36:31,000
eight people.
So he rescued Noah and his wife,

533
00:36:31,300 –> 00:36:34,200
he rescued sham Ham and japheth
and their wives.

534
00:36:34,200 –> 00:36:38,200
So there was eight people.
Now, eight in the Bible is

535
00:36:38,200 –> 00:36:42,500
symbolic of a new beginning.
And we know that because there

536
00:36:42,500 –> 00:36:46,300
are there were six days that God
made the world and everything in

537
00:36:46,300 –> 00:36:47,500
it.
And on the seventh day, he

538
00:36:47,500 –> 00:36:53,100
rested there for the eighth day,
became the first day of a new

539
00:36:53,100 –> 00:36:56,700
week, A New Beginning.
So eight in the Bible is

540
00:36:56,700 –> 00:36:59,500
symbolic of a new beginning and
that’s why there were eight

541
00:36:59,500 –> 00:37:03,200
people that came off the ark.
It was a new beginning.

542
00:37:04,500 –> 00:37:08,100
Let me just show you how that
links to Jesus, because I don’t

543
00:37:08,100 –> 00:37:09,100
know whether you’re aware of
this.

544
00:37:09,100 –> 00:37:11,600
I’m sure you probably are.
But the, in the Greek.

545
00:37:11,800 –> 00:37:13,500
Well, and in the Hebrew for that
matter.

546
00:37:13,500 –> 00:37:18,300
But in the Greek, alphabet every
single letter as got a number.

547
00:37:18,300 –> 00:37:20,400
So you’ve got one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight,

548
00:37:20,400 –> 00:37:24,000
nine, ten.
Then then it goes up intends and

549
00:37:24,000 –> 00:37:25,900
it goes up in a hunting in
hundreds.

550
00:37:25,900 –> 00:37:28,800
Okay?
So that is the numerology of the

551
00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:33,500
Greek, alphabet.
And if you look at the name of

552
00:37:33,500 –> 00:37:36,900
Jesus in the Greek, that’s
exactly how it is.

553
00:37:36,900 –> 00:37:42,900
Spelled and each of those
letters, as got a number-10, a

554
00:37:42,900 –> 00:37:51,100
270, 400 and 200, And if you add
those numbers together, Jesus is

555
00:37:51,100 –> 00:37:58,500
named in the Greek, the name
Jesus adds up to 8 8 8, which is

556
00:37:58,500 –> 00:38:02,200
sort of quite amazing when you
think that a, it is all about a

557
00:38:02,200 –> 00:38:06,200
new beginning, and here is Jesus
as the new beginning that we are

558
00:38:06,200 –> 00:38:09,400
baptized into his the new
beginning for all of us.

559
00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:14,200
And if it ended, there you might
say that’s a coincidence.

560
00:38:16,600 –> 00:38:22,200
If you look at the name Christ
it’s got the value of 1480 in

561
00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:27,100
the Greek which is 8 times 185,
if you look at the value in the

562
00:38:27,100 –> 00:38:29,600
Greek of Savior, another name
for Christ.

563
00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:37,100
It’s 1,400 8, which is 8 times.
176 Lord is 808 times. 100

564
00:38:37,100 –> 00:38:43,000
Messiah is 650 68 times 82.
Son of man is two thousand nine

565
00:38:43,000 –> 00:38:47,400
hundred and sixty eight times.
70 and Jesus Christ.

566
00:38:47,400 –> 00:38:56,000
So his full name if you like is
2368, which is 8 times, 296 the

567
00:38:56,000 –> 00:39:00,700
chance of all the titles of
Jesus, adding all being

568
00:39:00,700 –> 00:39:06,800
divisible by 8 is calculated as
1 in 9 billion.

569
00:39:07,800 –> 00:39:12,000
So mathematicians can calculate
the odds of that happening.

570
00:39:12,000 –> 00:39:15,500
You only need one number of
drift and suddenly isn’t

571
00:39:15,500 –> 00:39:19,000
divisible by 8.
It is a mathematical

572
00:39:19,000 –> 00:39:24,300
impossibility that God did not
design this and that all titles

573
00:39:24,300 –> 00:39:30,400
of Jesus are divisible by the
number. 88 is ought to do a

574
00:39:30,400 –> 00:39:32,300
Jesus.
It’s a new beginning and there

575
00:39:32,300 –> 00:39:37,600
were eight people on the ark.
Another thing that I was looking

576
00:39:37,600 –> 00:39:40,900
into his, this gopher wood
because we’re told the ark was

577
00:39:40,900 –> 00:39:45,900
built of gopher wood.
Now I’m going to suggest to you

578
00:39:45,900 –> 00:39:49,100
that because there’s lots
written about what what was go

579
00:39:49,100 –> 00:39:51,600
for wood.
Nobody knows what go forward is.

580
00:39:51,600 –> 00:39:53,300
It’s either.
Is it OG?

581
00:39:53,300 –> 00:39:56,000
Is it some sort of what sort of
tree is it?

582
00:39:57,300 –> 00:40:02,100
Interestingly, if you look at
one of the very original Bibles

583
00:40:02,100 –> 00:40:08,600
written in English, the Wycliffe
Bible Is 6:14 the in our version

584
00:40:08,600 –> 00:40:12,000
says gopher wood.
It doesn’t say go forward.

585
00:40:12,200 –> 00:40:16,900
It says make thou a ship for
thyself out of human and planed

586
00:40:16,900 –> 00:40:22,700
would so Wycliffe, translated
gopher as human and planed.

587
00:40:22,700 –> 00:40:30,200
Would he also translates it into
Samuel 22:33?

588
00:40:30,500 –> 00:40:35,500
God, that is girded me with
strength and had has made play.

589
00:40:35,800 –> 00:40:41,600
My perfect way that’s basically
basically somebody’s planed, you

590
00:40:42,000 –> 00:40:47,200
IE, you know, if you’ve actually
got a chisel, a chisel will

591
00:40:47,200 –> 00:40:49,900
plane, would it removes all the
gnarly B?

592
00:40:49,900 –> 00:40:56,700
It removes all the rough bits.
It’s planed would it can also be

593
00:40:56,700 –> 00:41:01,800
squared would as well.
So planed and squared would when

594
00:41:01,900 –> 00:41:05,500
ham the Ken Ham who made the Ark
in Kentucky.

595
00:41:05,600 –> 00:41:09,300
If you read about how they put
it together, they researched how

596
00:41:09,300 –> 00:41:14,700
in ancient times after the flood
people made boats and he says,

597
00:41:14,700 –> 00:41:18,400
they made out of square wood.
That was planed, he doesn’t

598
00:41:18,400 –> 00:41:22,100
refer anything to go forward.
He just said that, we made the

599
00:41:22,100 –> 00:41:25,600
ark are replicas of the art was
made out of planed and square

600
00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:27,900
wood.
Which is exactly what Wycliffe

601
00:41:27,900 –> 00:41:32,800
says, gopher means.
Now, in terms of that, of

602
00:41:32,800 –> 00:41:37,400
course, This makes you think a
little bit about Jesus, Phil

603
00:41:37,400 –> 00:41:40,800
Flanagan, who’s I think
listening in right now often

604
00:41:40,800 –> 00:41:45,500
says in these prayers about us
having the rough bits take and

605
00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:48,500
offers and us being, you know,
sort of squared up.

606
00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:53,000
Basically, we know that Jesus is
the Chief Cornerstone.

607
00:41:53,300 –> 00:42:00,700
He is the perfect square shape
and we are aligned perfectly to

608
00:42:00,900 –> 00:42:04,600
that Cornerstone.
And therefore, Isn’t it

609
00:42:04,600 –> 00:42:06,900
interesting?
Perhaps the wood that know we

610
00:42:06,900 –> 00:42:11,700
use was plain perfectly and
smoothly and squared so that

611
00:42:11,700 –> 00:42:16,900
everything fitted together just
exactly like Jesus wants us to

612
00:42:16,900 –> 00:42:20,200
be.
We’ve talked about the door

613
00:42:20,200 –> 00:42:23,600
being shut and sealed by God.
What’s this thing about rooms?

614
00:42:24,900 –> 00:42:29,900
Because we read in Genesis
chapter 6 that God told Noah

615
00:42:29,900 –> 00:42:33,500
make an ark of gopher wood or
maybe it means planed and

616
00:42:33,500 –> 00:42:38,800
squared would and then it says,
rooms shalt thou make in the

617
00:42:38,800 –> 00:42:41,700
ark.
So the with three decks in the

618
00:42:41,700 –> 00:42:46,300
arc we’re told and on those
three decks, there were rooms

619
00:42:46,300 –> 00:42:52,400
that were built.
And they weren’t huge room.

620
00:42:52,400 –> 00:42:56,500
So don’t think I think they were
actually quite small rooms.

621
00:42:56,900 –> 00:43:01,700
And the reason that I think that
is because this word room, if

622
00:43:01,700 –> 00:43:06,700
you look in your Bible in your
central margin it actually means

623
00:43:06,700 –> 00:43:11,000
in the Hebrew nests.
In fact it’s translated as nests

624
00:43:11,000 –> 00:43:16,200
elsewhere in the Old Testament.
So they’ve called it rooms in in

625
00:43:16,200 –> 00:43:20,100
this particular verse.
But as I I really means nests.

626
00:43:20,800 –> 00:43:26,000
We know what lives in nests
living in this very small young

627
00:43:26,000 –> 00:43:27,900
birds.
That’s what, that’s what lives

628
00:43:27,900 –> 00:43:30,400
in there.
Sits the young, and I think it’s

629
00:43:30,400 –> 00:43:35,800
a reference here to it wasn’t
adult animals that No abort onto

630
00:43:35,800 –> 00:43:39,100
the ark, it was young animals.
I mean, if you’re going to try

631
00:43:39,100 –> 00:43:44,900
and pack 21,000 animals, I’m
into an arc even though there’s

632
00:43:44,900 –> 00:43:47,700
lots of space.
Why would you take a fully grown

633
00:43:47,700 –> 00:43:50,300
any flamenco?
Not an elephant, an elephant.

634
00:43:50,500 –> 00:43:52,500
Why would you take a fully grown
giraffe for you?

635
00:43:52,500 –> 00:43:55,400
Wouldn’t you would take a young
giraffe.

636
00:43:55,400 –> 00:43:58,800
You take a young elephant?
You take a young sheep, you take

637
00:43:58,800 –> 00:44:02,000
a lamb, wouldn’t you?
Because that reduces the weight

638
00:44:02,000 –> 00:44:05,700
right down in the ark and also
how much they need to eat and

639
00:44:05,700 –> 00:44:09,300
drink.
So there were all these small

640
00:44:09,300 –> 00:44:13,600
rooms and when you look at what
Ken Ham built in Kentucky,

641
00:44:13,600 –> 00:44:19,100
there’s thousands and thousands
of these small two-foot by

642
00:44:19,100 –> 00:44:23,000
two-foot cages that they’ve
built as well as some bigger

643
00:44:23,000 –> 00:44:27,600
rooms for the larger animals.
They calculated that the average

644
00:44:27,600 –> 00:44:32,400
size of all animals came out at
smaller than a, than a small

645
00:44:32,400 –> 00:44:35,800
sheep, right?
So you could get all of these

646
00:44:35,800 –> 00:44:39,600
creatures into fairly Small
spaces.

647
00:44:41,100 –> 00:44:46,900
Interestingly thinking about
this Arc being full of rooms in

648
00:44:46,900 –> 00:44:50,500
the revised Standard Version in
John 14:2.

649
00:44:50,500 –> 00:44:57,500
Jesus said in my father’s house
are many rooms if it was not.

650
00:44:57,500 –> 00:45:01,100
So would I have told you that I
go to prepare a place for you?

651
00:45:02,600 –> 00:45:05,400
Some people use this verse to
say, well, when we die, we go to

652
00:45:05,400 –> 00:45:08,000
heaven because it says, in my
father’s house are many rooms,

653
00:45:08,000 –> 00:45:11,400
and I’m going to prepare a place
for you there, but Jesus isn’t

654
00:45:11,400 –> 00:45:16,500
talking about heaven, every
single reference in the New

655
00:45:16,500 –> 00:45:21,400
Testament to my father’s house
is not a reference to Heaven.

656
00:45:21,700 –> 00:45:25,900
It’s a reference to the temple.
Jesus was talking about the

657
00:45:25,900 –> 00:45:31,200
temple where they worship God.
And if you think about the

658
00:45:31,200 –> 00:45:36,400
temple, all all of the temple
and the worship of God is

659
00:45:36,400 –> 00:45:41,500
actually all about God, dwelling
one day on Earth with man.

660
00:45:41,800 –> 00:45:44,900
And that’s going to be at the
end of the Millennium when Jesus

661
00:45:44,900 –> 00:45:48,000
is set at the Kingdom.
So Jesus isn’t saying that we’re

662
00:45:48,000 –> 00:45:50,600
all flying off the heavens, I
live in a room up in heaven.

663
00:45:51,000 –> 00:45:56,200
He’s basically saying there’s
plenty of room for everybody in

664
00:45:56,200 –> 00:46:00,700
the future Kingdom.
That is going to come on this

665
00:46:00,700 –> 00:46:05,600
Earth and I’m preparing For you.
How because, well, I’m going to

666
00:46:06,300 –> 00:46:09,800
be sacrificed so that your sins
can be forgiven and you can one

667
00:46:09,800 –> 00:46:14,600
day, walk out of the Tomb, out
of that horrible door, where

668
00:46:14,600 –> 00:46:18,800
you’ve been locked away in a
tomb into the bright light of a

669
00:46:18,800 –> 00:46:21,200
future.
Wonderful Kingdom.

670
00:46:21,600 –> 00:46:27,200
We told him, 1, Peter 2:5 that
Jesus is building a spiritual

671
00:46:27,200 –> 00:46:30,200
house.
We’re all part of this house

672
00:46:30,200 –> 00:46:36,700
that God is building of People
who accept him and ultimately a

673
00:46:36,700 –> 00:46:39,700
saved through the sacrifice of
Jesus.

674
00:46:41,600 –> 00:46:45,300
What about Pitch?
Because if you notice in Genesis

675
00:46:45,300 –> 00:46:49,700
chapter 6 again in verse 14 we
it’s all quite a lot here.

676
00:46:49,700 –> 00:46:54,600
Aren’t we in Genesis 6 verse 14?
No, I was told me can Ark of

677
00:46:54,600 –> 00:46:59,300
gopher wood rooms or nests.
Shall you make in the ark and

678
00:46:59,300 –> 00:47:03,600
you you’re going to pitch it
within and without with pitch.

679
00:47:04,100 –> 00:47:07,200
And this means like a tar-like
substance.

680
00:47:07,200 –> 00:47:11,300
So God says, you better cover it
with some tar-like substance

681
00:47:11,300 –> 00:47:15,000
within and without because
obviously, you don’t want any

682
00:47:15,000 –> 00:47:17,400
leaks so no.
Oh, probably didn’t use a

683
00:47:17,400 –> 00:47:19,800
paintbrush like that.
But he would have painted with

684
00:47:19,800 –> 00:47:26,400
something the whole lot of it in
some tar-like substance.

685
00:47:27,300 –> 00:47:29,800
And you might say, well, it’s
this got anything to do with

686
00:47:29,800 –> 00:47:32,300
Jesus because it looks like
everything else has.

687
00:47:33,300 –> 00:47:39,200
Well here’s something amazing.
They are two different Hebrew

688
00:47:39,200 –> 00:47:42,500
words there in that same verse
when it says you’re going to

689
00:47:42,500 –> 00:47:46,300
pitch it within.
And without with pitch, the

690
00:47:46,300 –> 00:47:51,500
first word for pitch is the
Hebrew word Cafe and the second

691
00:47:51,500 –> 00:47:53,400
word for pitch is the Hebrew
word.

692
00:47:53,400 –> 00:48:00,200
Cofa, Their Hebrew word for
kapha means atonement.

693
00:48:00,600 –> 00:48:06,100
In fact, every single time in
the Hebrew, in the Old Testament

694
00:48:06,300 –> 00:48:12,100
that word Cafe is translated as
atonement 72 times.

695
00:48:12,100 –> 00:48:15,700
Only once is it translated as
pitch?

696
00:48:15,700 –> 00:48:17,800
And that’s in this verse right
here.

697
00:48:18,500 –> 00:48:23,700
The Hebrew word for cofa is the
word for ransom and it’s

698
00:48:23,700 –> 00:48:26,900
translated 12.
He’s in the Old Testament, as

699
00:48:27,100 –> 00:48:32,100
Ransom.
And once in this verse as pitch,

700
00:48:33,500 –> 00:48:37,000
when you come to the New
Testament, you find that these

701
00:48:37,000 –> 00:48:41,200
two words are associated 100%
with Jesus.

702
00:48:41,800 –> 00:48:47,800
In Romans chapter 5 verse 11, it
says Jesus Christ by whom we

703
00:48:47,800 –> 00:48:54,000
have received well, well, well
the atonement you see an

704
00:48:54,000 –> 00:48:57,400
atonement is If you look at the
word atonement, it literally

705
00:48:57,400 –> 00:49:02,600
means at one moment.
It means to become one with God.

706
00:49:03,000 –> 00:49:07,700
And the way that we become one
with God Is by being covered

707
00:49:07,700 –> 00:49:10,500
having our sins covered
basically.

708
00:49:11,000 –> 00:49:14,200
And that’s why a tone moment is
the word that’s used for the

709
00:49:14,200 –> 00:49:21,000
covering of sin in 1.
Timothy Chapter 2 Verse 6.

710
00:49:21,500 –> 00:49:28,500
It says Jesus Christ gave
himself As a ransom for all,

711
00:49:29,700 –> 00:49:33,900
isn’t that incredible?
So Jesus has paid the price for

712
00:49:33,900 –> 00:49:37,600
our sin so our sins are very,
very expensive because we’re

713
00:49:37,600 –> 00:49:41,400
sending we’re not doing what God
wants and Jesus has paid the

714
00:49:41,400 –> 00:49:45,500
ransom Bill and he paid it
through his sacrifice.

715
00:49:47,200 –> 00:49:51,600
Do you know something if the ark
wasn’t covered in Pitch it would

716
00:49:51,600 –> 00:49:54,400
have sunk wouldn’t it?
It doesn’t matter how tight he

717
00:49:54,400 –> 00:49:57,100
would have.
Got those planks of wood if it

718
00:49:57,100 –> 00:50:01,900
wasn’t covered in Pitch that Ark
would have sunk which is why God

719
00:50:01,900 –> 00:50:06,400
said put it in and out.
Do you know something?

720
00:50:06,500 –> 00:50:09,700
If we’re not covered with the
sacrifice of Christ?

721
00:50:10,200 –> 00:50:17,600
We spiritually are sunk.
We have got no hope sin will get

722
00:50:17,600 –> 00:50:21,700
into our lives, and it will
cause our own boat to sink.

723
00:50:22,100 –> 00:50:27,200
We’re in all sorts of trouble.
We need baptism to protect us to

724
00:50:27,200 –> 00:50:30,600
that extent.
Animals.

725
00:50:30,700 –> 00:50:34,900
Well, we know the animals would
take and clean and unclean

726
00:50:34,900 –> 00:50:40,900
animals were taken onto the ark.
There were two of each type of

727
00:50:40,900 –> 00:50:43,500
unclean animal.
So, there was a male and a

728
00:50:43,500 –> 00:50:45,900
female of everything that was
unclean.

729
00:50:46,800 –> 00:50:50,000
When it comes to the clean
animals, they took seven

730
00:50:50,000 –> 00:50:53,100
animals.
So they were, there were three

731
00:50:53,100 –> 00:50:59,300
pairs of clean and an extra male
animal was Aiken in.

732
00:50:59,300 –> 00:51:03,600
So there were seven in total.
They didn’t take 14 clean

733
00:51:03,600 –> 00:51:09,400
animals in, they took in seven
three pairs of clean animals and

734
00:51:09,400 –> 00:51:13,000
there was one extra animal and
I’ll tell you what they did with

735
00:51:13,000 –> 00:51:16,600
that extra anymore that they
took in in just a second.

736
00:51:18,700 –> 00:51:20,600
So, yeah, that’s what this is
saying.

737
00:51:20,600 –> 00:51:27,000
There was 22 of every unclean
and 7 of clean animals.

738
00:51:27,000 –> 00:51:30,000
Now, there aren’t that many
clean animals because you might

739
00:51:30,000 –> 00:51:32,600
say, well crumbs, if they’ve got
to take in seven of everything

740
00:51:32,600 –> 00:51:35,700
that’s clean, that’s an enormous
number of extra animals.

741
00:51:36,300 –> 00:51:41,900
Do you know, something there’s
only about 30 clean animals and

742
00:51:41,900 –> 00:51:44,400
birds mentioned in the Old
Testament.

743
00:51:44,800 –> 00:51:48,600
So there were 30 of them out of
all those Doubt, you know,

744
00:51:48,600 –> 00:51:53,100
20,000 species of animal.
There was only around about 30

745
00:51:53,100 –> 00:51:57,800
that were classified, as clean
by God, and there were seven of

746
00:51:57,800 –> 00:52:01,900
each of those and all the others
they were, there were two of

747
00:52:01,900 –> 00:52:05,600
them.
Now, you might say, well, what

748
00:52:05,600 –> 00:52:08,900
do all these animals represent?
They’re all going on the ark

749
00:52:08,900 –> 00:52:12,100
clean and unclean today.
Represent anything.

750
00:52:12,900 –> 00:52:16,800
And the answer is, they do
because all those animals of all

751
00:52:16,800 –> 00:52:21,400
their different shapes and
sizes, represent people.

752
00:52:21,900 –> 00:52:24,800
We know, of course, there was
only 8, real people on board the

753
00:52:24,800 –> 00:52:27,700
ark, but all these clean and
unclean.

754
00:52:27,700 –> 00:52:32,700
Animals are representing.
All of us that can be saved on

755
00:52:32,700 –> 00:52:37,700
board.
HMS Noah’s Ark in Acts chapter

756
00:52:37,700 –> 00:52:39,800
10 verse 28.
In the NIV.

757
00:52:39,800 –> 00:52:44,900
It says, He said to them, you’re
well, aware that it’s against

758
00:52:44,900 –> 00:52:48,700
our law for a Jew to associate,
or visit a gentile.

759
00:52:49,100 –> 00:52:53,900
But God has shown me that I
should not call anyone impure or

760
00:52:53,900 –> 00:52:59,600
unclean, because the Jews
considered Gentiles to be

761
00:52:59,600 –> 00:53:01,600
unclean.
A gentile is a non-jewish

762
00:53:01,600 –> 00:53:05,800
person, right?
So Gentiles in fact, all the way

763
00:53:05,800 –> 00:53:09,800
through the Old Testament,
Gentiles are called unclean Jews

764
00:53:09,800 –> 00:53:14,800
by inference are clean.
So what we’ve been told is here,

765
00:53:15,200 –> 00:53:21,000
the on board, the ark were not
just clean animals, but unclean

766
00:53:21,300 –> 00:53:27,000
they were due and Gentile
effectively Saved By The Arc,

767
00:53:27,000 –> 00:53:33,100
but the arc really was just a
very tiny symbol of the work.

768
00:53:33,100 –> 00:53:37,600
The future work of Jesus.
When Jesus through his sacrifice

769
00:53:37,600 –> 00:53:41,900
was going to save both Jew and
Gentile.

770
00:53:42,600 –> 00:53:44,800
Which brings me.
You might be glad to know

771
00:53:44,800 –> 00:53:47,300
because I’ve gone over a few
minutes but it brings me to the

772
00:53:47,300 –> 00:53:50,600
very last element here that I’m
going to talk about and there’s

773
00:53:50,600 –> 00:53:55,700
a lot more we could.
And that is this that the Ark of

774
00:53:55,700 –> 00:54:02,600
Noah landed on a mountain.
And that there on the left hand

775
00:54:02,600 –> 00:54:08,400
side of those images is the
Mountains of Ararat is, it’s on

776
00:54:08,400 –> 00:54:10,600
the work.
That’s exactly what Mount Ararat

777
00:54:10,600 –> 00:54:13,400
looks like today.
If you wanted to go and see it,

778
00:54:13,500 –> 00:54:17,300
that’s what it would look like.
And I’ve just put on the very

779
00:54:17,300 –> 00:54:22,000
top of that.
A tiny not to scale picture of

780
00:54:22,000 –> 00:54:25,500
an arc, that’s come to rest on
the very top of that mountain.

781
00:54:26,300 –> 00:54:29,200
And if you come have a look at
Genesis chapter 8, because of

782
00:54:29,500 –> 00:54:33,600
the, the words on Quite on the
screen there in Genesis chapter

783
00:54:33,600 –> 00:54:37,700
8, verse 18.
It says that Noah went forth and

784
00:54:37,700 –> 00:54:40,400
his sons and his wife and his
sons wives with him.

785
00:54:40,400 –> 00:54:43,600
This is landed on our rat, then
I’ll coming out of the door.

786
00:54:44,700 –> 00:54:49,500
And verse 20 said and Noah
builded, an altar unto the Lord

787
00:54:50,000 –> 00:54:55,000
and took of every clean beast
and of every clean foul and

788
00:54:55,000 –> 00:54:57,100
offered burnt offerings on the
altar.

789
00:54:57,600 –> 00:55:01,300
Do you know what he did?
He took the seventh animal, the

790
00:55:01,300 –> 00:55:05,700
seventh clean animal, that’s why
there were three pairs of clean

791
00:55:06,100 –> 00:55:12,500
and the seventh one.
The seven male with sacrifice to

792
00:55:12,500 –> 00:55:16,300
God of every clean animal.
So there were about 30 or so

793
00:55:16,700 –> 00:55:20,800
sacrifices that took place of
the seventh animal.

794
00:55:21,500 –> 00:55:25,600
It was the, it was really a link
back to Creation when God made

795
00:55:25,600 –> 00:55:29,600
the world in six days and on the
seventh day was a day, holy and

796
00:55:29,600 –> 00:55:32,800
special to God in the seventh
animal was sacrificed.

797
00:55:33,200 –> 00:55:36,800
And that’s what took place on
top of that mountain as Noah

798
00:55:36,800 –> 00:55:40,200
came off looking at this
brand-new World and, you know

799
00:55:40,200 –> 00:55:43,000
something?
When Jesus gets back and the

800
00:55:43,000 –> 00:55:47,600
dead are raised and they walk
out of their individual tombs as

801
00:55:47,600 –> 00:55:51,500
it were and abort back to life
and they stand there.

802
00:55:51,500 –> 00:55:56,500
Blinking looking at this
incredible world that is going

803
00:55:56,500 –> 00:56:00,000
to be put right by by Jesus
during his Millennial reign.

804
00:56:00,000 –> 00:56:04,400
As King on Earth, there is going
to be a mountain.

805
00:56:05,600 –> 00:56:10,000
It says in Isaiah chapter 2,
verse 22, for That in the last

806
00:56:10,000 –> 00:56:13,700
days, the mountain of the Lord’s
House will be the highest of all

807
00:56:14,100 –> 00:56:16,500
the most important place on
Earth.

808
00:56:17,000 –> 00:56:20,100
It will be raised above the
other Hills and people from all

809
00:56:20,100 –> 00:56:24,700
over the world was stream there
to worship and the worship of

810
00:56:24,700 –> 00:56:27,900
God will take place on top of
that new mount in that.

811
00:56:27,900 –> 00:56:30,700
Is there in Israel?
It would be in Jerusalem.

812
00:56:30,700 –> 00:56:34,500
That Jerusalem will be raised up
like an enormous mountain and a

813
00:56:34,500 –> 00:56:39,300
great Temple would be built to
God and God God will be

814
00:56:39,300 –> 00:56:43,300
worshiped there and all people
of all the world will flow into

815
00:56:43,300 –> 00:56:47,500
that mountain to learn about God
and of his ways and be taught by

816
00:56:47,500 –> 00:56:50,700
Jesus.
It’s exactly the same image,

817
00:56:50,700 –> 00:56:54,100
really.
But in a very poor and Tiny way

818
00:56:54,500 –> 00:56:58,900
of the art landing on Ararat and
Noah worshiping God and

819
00:56:58,900 –> 00:57:03,700
sacrificing those animals.
There’s more that could be said,

820
00:57:03,800 –> 00:57:08,600
I’ve just really scratched the
surface of looking at Jesus in

821
00:57:08,600 –> 00:57:10,700
know.
Noah’s Ark but hopefully you

822
00:57:10,700 –> 00:57:14,600
found enough there to find that
interesting and maybe you can go

823
00:57:14,600 –> 00:57:17,300
and look yourselves other things
that are there.

824
00:57:17,600 –> 00:57:19,300
I don’t think we’re stretching
it at all.

825
00:57:19,300 –> 00:57:22,900
I think all of these things have
been there by Design and are

826
00:57:22,908 –> 00:57:26,400
there to show us that God knew
exactly what was coming.

827
00:57:26,700 –> 00:57:32,600
And that Jesus himself was the
answer to all of our hopes and

828
00:57:32,600 –> 00:57:37,100
all of our prayers.
So I know I’ve gone on,
