TRANSCRIPT

Date: September 3, 2023 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Sunday evening, at 6:00 PM, we will continue our sermon series, “Follow the Lamb,” tracing the types, examples, and illustrations of the Lamb of God in the Old Testament. In our next sermon, we will focus on the “Ark of Salvation,” as found in Genesis 7:1-24. While more than 7 billion people were drowned in that worldwide flood, the eight people who were in God’s Ark were saved. You see, it wasn’t Noah’s Ark, it was God’s Ark, because Noah built it according to God’s divine blueprint! Salvation from God’s judgment was given to those few who were in the Ark of God. Therefore, the Ark is a picture; a type of the Lamb of God.

The Bible tells the story of sinful man, always moving towards God’s final judgment, and along the way, in God’s sovereign grace and for His purposes, some sinners being rescued from that judgment.

At this time in history, civilization is moving in two streams:

Adam

Man

Seth

Appointed

Enosh

Mortal

Kenan

Sorrow

Mahalalel

The Blessed God

Jared

Shall come down

Enoch

Teaching

Methuselah

His death shall bring

Lamech

The Despairing

Rest, or comfort

In less than 1500 years, the population of the world had grown to more than 7 billion people, and the whole civilization was corrupt with sin – especially sexual sins.

God said He was “sorry He made man” , and He determined to destroy him from the face of the earth.

Having determined to destroy every living thing on earth, God also determined to preserve the godly seed of the Savior through a man named Noah, and his family.

God told Noah to build an Ark, 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high, with three decks inside, with compartments and rooms, one door on the side and a window at the top.

THE ARK OF GOD

Genesis 6:18 – “ But with thee I will establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the Ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife and thy son’s wives with thee.”

Hebrews 11:7: “ By faith, Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
