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 |

Brad, Noah's Ark and the flood have been used in reference or should I symbology for baptism. In Him, lionheart |

Hello lionheart, You are correct. Yet, if we go to 1 Peter 3:20, the context here is suffering for righteousness sake! Further, if the ark is symbolic of baptism, which baptism - spiritual or water? Notably, the "eight persons were brought safely through water" remained dry and those that perished got wet! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Brad, Agreed, But does not baptism symbolise the reality of our conversion as stated by Paul in Romans chapter 6. In Him, lionheart |

Hello brother, Yes, it does symbolize the reality:-) However, I truly believe Paul is referring to "spiritual" baptism- the reality- in Rom. 6 (Note: 1 Cor. 12:13, also Gal 3:27) BradK |
