Come Into the Ark

Duration:1 hr 47 mins 15 secs

Come Into the Ark

GENESIS 7:1

     1     ¶ And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Notice that God was calling Noah from within the ark by a voice, and notice also that the ark was on the earth, so we know that God had come down to the earth because that was the seventh seal in Noah’s day, the coming of the Lord.

– It’s all a type of this hour. The seventh seal is shown in mystery form all the way through the entire bible.

LUKE 17:26

     26   And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Come Into the Ark

Noah’s ark was the word and message that was given to Noah materialised for his day.

**The message that Noah had received from God 120 years prior, at the end of the 120 years it was not just a message from God in word form only, but it had come into material form - the word had become flesh for that hour. And we know that the ark represented Christ; it was the coming of Christ for that hour (their seventh seal), that is what brought them deliverance from the judgement – it was the coming of the Lord.

*So before the ark was ever built, it was first Christ the word, and then that word came through the ministry of the prophet Noah to the people, and then that same word became materialised in the form of the Ark by the people that believed the message for that hour.

***Notice the pattern - From the thought of God at the beginning, then to the word of God, and then that word came through the ministry of a prophet to the people, and then the people that believed the message of the prophet became a part of that word by living out that message until that word became flesh for their day.

269     And He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of God coming, when the Son of man shall be being revealed." "The Son of man being revealed," not the Son of God in the church age. He's put out of that (that is why - if we are still back in the seven church age’s dispensation like the denominations, then we have missed the message for this hour). Now He's Son of man revealing Himself. The Word is becoming flesh among us.

THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125

268   Oh, that spiritual union of Christ and His Church now, when the flesh is becoming Word, and the Word is becoming flesh, manifested, vindicated. Just what the Bible said would happen in this day, it's happening, day by day.

So at the beginning of Noah’s ministry, the message for his day was a prophecy that was to become an ark, it took time, but that ark was the word made flesh for that hour, but in this day, the prophecy of the word is to become a people, and that prophecy is now becoming history among us.

Last week Purpose in your heart…

DANIEL 1:8

     8     ¶ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

It was a purpose that kept Daniel steadfast for more than 70 years – he endured because of the purpose that he had made within his heart from the beginning.

When Noah first received the message from God for his day, he also had to purposed in his heart that the message that he had received was not only the truth but that he would obey every word of what he had received from God for that hour – the word for that hour had to become his purpose, he and the message had become one.

And we see how that purpose kept Noah and his group going for a 120 years right to the end and beyond.

GENESIS 6:13-18

     13     ¶ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

     14   Make thee an ark of gopher wood (Remember - before they could make the ark they first had to cut down a tree – Christ was that tree that was cut down at Calvary; everything about the ark was revealing Christ for that hour, the ark was the revealing of Christ to them, just like the message of this hour is revealing Christ to us); rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

     15   And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

     16   A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it (Justification, Sanctification, The baptism of the Holy Spirit – 3 stages of grace).

     17   And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

     18   But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

**Notice that this coming into the ark was a family affair, and that end time event for Noah’s day began by one man receiving a message from God, and he and his people purposed in their hearts and acted upon that message.

As soon as Noah had received from God the message for that hour, and after he had proclaimed it, then it became a dispensation of mercy and judgement; it was mercy to Noah and his group who had received it and was obeying the message, but it was also a message of judgement to the world that had rejected the message.

So it was both a time of the great and terrible day of the Lord, just as it is now in this day that we are living in under this end time prophet’s message.

***Notice that God brought judgement upon the entire world by the message of one man – Noah, and in this day God will also judge the entire earth by one man’s message – William Branham.

They could not accept the message from God then, and they certainly cannot accept in now.

I PETER 3:18-20

     18     ¶ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

     19   By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

     20   Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

We know that the same water that saved Noah by lifting him and his group up and off the earth, and that took them over into the new world, was the same water that destroyed the people of the earth.

LUKE 17:26

     26   And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

The pattern that God did back in Noah’s day parallels this day.

*First God raised up a prophet and sends his word to the people through that prophet, and that message is the voice that gathers the elect, it is shout of 1st Thessalonian’s 4:16

*Then the word for that day become flesh and a VOICE in the form of the Ark – that word was now in ark form and that was the voice of God to the people of that hour – from Shout to Voice in Noah’s day.

Then the rain lifts the ark with the believers of the message of that hour off the earth – and what do you see appear before rain falls? A cloud - did we all see a cloud appear in 1963?

Then the dove leads them into the new world – Shout, Voice, Trump, a 3 fold mystery in Noah’s day – as it was then, so must it repeat again under this prophet’s message at the revealing of the son of man in this hour.

- What gathered the elect of that day, a message sent by God through a prophet’s ministry, and then the rain followed that, and then from the rain to the dove that led them into the new earth.

**The ARK, the RAIN, and the DOVE - the SHOUT, the VOICE and the TRUMP

MATTHEW 24:35-39 (Matthew 24 is the seven seals in word form of what you will find in the book of Revelation in symbol form)

     35   Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

(The word of God that came to Noah was at a time when that earth that he had known was about to pass away – but that message that he had received could not pass away with the earth, so the ark was invincible because it was the word of God in another form. That is why if you are the prophecy of this hour in material form, then the judgment of this hour cannot harm you)

     36   But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

     37   But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (This is referring to the second coming of the Lord of what has taken place in our generation, because we have seen this coming of the son of man ministry again in our day, and remember that the seventh seal is the mystery of the coming of the Lord)

     38   For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

     39   And knew not until the flood came (in other words, it was a total secret to them, they were completely ignorant that God had come down in their generation and that judgement was in the land and about to fall on a cataclysmic global scale. They may have been very wise in the ways of the world, but they were ignorant of the things that God had done in their generation), and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

As it was in Noah’s day, so will it parallel perfectly today because History repeats itself.

**Have we had a prophet with a message in this day, have we been called to come into the ark (Christ the word of this hour), have we been called out of Laodicea and into the bride age, have we seen a cloud appear, is there a rain to be poured out on the just and the unjust in this day, is the Holy spirit going to lead us into that new earth in the millennium.

LUKE 17:26-30

     26   And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

     27   They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

     28   Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot (Remember that in Lot’s day, God came down and visited Abraham in human flesh in the form of a man and revealed the secrets of the heart - there is your seventh seal again, the coming of the Lord, and that was also the same time that judgement struck the sodomites, it’s the same pattern of what we saw in Noah’s day); they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

     29   But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

     30   Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

So the very same pattern in Noah’s day and in Lot’s day is repeating itself again in our day, and if you will notice that only the elect can see these things because it is hidden to all else.

**Look at the pattern - God sends a prophet with a message, but only a small group receives that message and are protected from the judgement and are taken over the judgement and into the new earth while the entire rest of the world reject that message and go ignorantly into the judgement.

MATTHEW 13:10-12

     10   And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

     11   He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

     12   For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

**So we can see what separated the elect from the non-elect in Noah’s day and in Lot’s day, and also in this time that we are living in now, it was the revelation of the word for the hour, to one group these secret things were revealed to them, but to the rest of them, they were all in ignorance and were unconsciously under the judgement – a time of mercy to one group, and judgment to the rest.

LEAN.NOT.UNTO.THY.OWN.UNDERSTANDING_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-3 WEDNESDAY_ 65-0120

124   Let's take, for instance, Noah. Noah lived in a day of great scientific research. In the days of Noah, they probably built the pyramids, that they cannot reproduce again. Now we haven't got nothing to do it with, nothing to lift the boulders up there. They could not, today. Them days, they had some kind of a chemical they could put in dye and make the clothes look natural till today. They had an embalming fluid that they could make a mummy; we could not make one, today, if we had to. We've... a lot of the arts that we have lost. The day that he lived, in a smart scientific age.

125   Jesus referred to it, that that same kind of an age would return again before He come back, "For as it was in the days of Noah." Now you will believe, that, won't you? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Do you believe that Jesus said that? ["Amen."] Do you believe we have returned to that age? ["Amen."] Now that is in the Book of Luke, the 17th chapter and the 29th verse.

126     Now in Luke 17: 30, He said, "And as it was in the days of Lot, when the Angel of the Lord..."

127   Now, He was reading the same Bible we are. And when He... Go back and find out what kind of day it was before Noah's rain. Go back and find out what kind of a day it was before the world was destroyed in the days of Lot. Find out what it was, and you see what Jesus was talking about.

128   "In the days of Noah, they was eating, drinking, marrying, and given in marriage; knew it not until Noah entered into the ark, and the flood come, taken them all away."

129   In the days of Lot, just before the world was... fire burned the Gentile world, the Sodomites, there were homosexuals, perversions, everything in the world. A great... It was a modern Los Angeles; not a modern only Los Angeles, but a United States; not only in United States, but a world. It sure was perversion! Man lost their natural source of life and their natural understandings of common sense, become perverted by an evil spirit that changed the whole course of their natural life, and they were possessed with demon spirits. If that ain't the picture of the days of Noah, I don't know it, and in the days of Lot, I mean. In days of Noah, also, eating, drinking, marrying, given in marriage, divorce courts filling, and everything, just like it was.

130     But, remember, before the world was destroyed, Abraham was sent on the face of the earth and was given a promise of a son. And Abraham met God in many stages, as a type of the church has met God. But just before the destruction and the promised son returned, or came, rather, the son had been promised, came, God came down and was manifested in human flesh

Come into the Ark

Opening scripture

GENESIS 7:1

     1     ¶ And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

**The voice of God that was calling Noah and his group was calling them to come out of the world and into the word, the message of the hour, because the Ark was the word for that hour – it was Christ, it was the coming of the Lord, it was the seventh seal, and this same one that was calling them, was calling them from within the ark (“Come into the Ark”) because he was that Ark, he was gathering the elect of that hour unto and into himself – that is the shout of the message that is gathering the bride in this day.

***Notice - the Ark was a different place to that of the outside world, it wasn’t the new world, but it wasn’t the old world either, it was a place of safety between the two worlds.

PSALM 27:5

     5   For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

***A hiding place in the time of judgement, a hiding place between the two worlds, an age in between two ages. What is between the Laodicean church age and the millennial age?? -The bride age.

The voice of God in this hour is calling us out of Laodicea and into the bride age, into Christ the message of the hour.

**This message is the voice of God saying to us in this hour – Come out of the darkness and the ignorance of Laodicea and come into the word of this hour (the Ark – Christ), because cataclysmic judgement is soon to strike this earth.

Noah’s whole purpose was focused on the ministry of the shout, voice and trump (the ark, the rain and the dove), that was Noah’s and his group’s purpose in that day, and that must also be our entire purpose in this day – as it was then, so must it be now.

MALACHI 4:1-6

     1     ¶ For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

   2   But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

     3   And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

     4     ¶ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

     5   Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

     6   And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Come Into the Ark

Come out of ignorance, and come into the revelation of the word of this hour.
