1 | Noah entered the ark--exactly when? | Gen 7:1 | BradK | 225507 | ||
Hello rghollenbeck, Welcome to the Forum. Allow me to comment on one aspect of your post:-) You said, "I think it has theological significance **if the ark is a type of the rapture.**" I'd have to agree with brother EdB as this being "iffy"- at best. I've never heard the association being made to the rapture. I don't think the genre of Genesis- as a historical narrative lends itself to such prophetic linkage and we should be careful about doing so. More than anything, the ark typifies Christ as, "... the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6) The ark was the only way to be saved from the flood and it had only one entrance! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

If a symbolic association is desired, I believe that the Hebrew word translated coffin at the end of Genesis is the same word used for Noah's ark. Now that holds some symbolism. | ||||||

Dear Ariel, Sometimes a box is just a box... whether it holds a body or it holds out the water. Let the Bible render up its own symbolism. That will certainly give us more than enough to handle, without lading us with any that God did not intend. In Him, Doc |
