I'll address this a little more fully brother. I hope there isn't much disagreement saying that Noah's Ark was a "type" of Christ. Or at least an attribute of Him.
Genesis 6:
14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it INSIDE and outside with pitch.
The idea of the pitch (tar) on the outside is obviously to keep OUT the judgement of God on unrepentant sinners.
Now some commentators believe the purpose of the pitch on the inside is to preserve the Ark through millenia as a sign in the last days, and this may be true.
But if we look at the similitude, the pitch could be a modeling of the Holy Spirit sealing the inside for the saved. Remember WHO it was that closed the Ark door before the 1st drop. Now obviously Noah could have jumped out the window to joyfully embrace God's judgement! lol
So this "sealing" is a very important concept. Not to argue the eternal security point with you. I know where you stand on it, and although I wish you saw things my way, you trust in Christ, who He is, and what He has done, just like me. Therefore you are my brother and I love you.
Ephesians 1:13New King James Version (NKJV)
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
2 Corinthians 1:21-22New King James Version (NKJV)
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
Now John tells us a little about seals in Revelation:
Revelation 5New King James Version (NKJV)
The Lamb Takes the Scroll
5 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read[a]the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose[b] its seven seals.”
6 And I looked, and behold,[c] in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
Worthy Is the Lamb
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us[d] kings[e] and priests to our God;
And we[f] shall reign on the earth.”
So I'm confused as to how someone is going to break the seal only Jesus can open?
ALL of this DOES NOT make me want to go out and sin more! Quite the contrary. I'm so blown away by His Mercy and Grace, that I hate to disappoint Him because I'm so grateful to Him. Consequently I WANT to please Him more knowing I am secure in Him.
I hope this scratches where your'e itchin brother! Be Blessed
