The Ark

Just like with Enoch there is salvation from the judgment for Noah, but in an other way than with Enoch. God not only makes Noah familiar with judgment, but also with salvation. He does not leave it to Noah to think of a way in which he can bring himself to safety. That is still the case today. There is only one Name given under heaven by which men must be saved (Acts 4:12) and that is “the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene” (Acts 4:10).

God, as He does later with the tabernacle, gives a precise description of the ark to be built. The ark is a picture of the Lord Jesus. The wood of the ark speaks of His Manhood. The Man Christ Jesus is the “mediator … between God and men” (1Tim 2:5). The word “pitch” is the same word used for “reconciliation”.
