Filling Noah’s Ark 2
(week 52/07)

Firstly, we wish all our readers a wonderful Xmas and Christ filled destiny fulfilling New Year!
In our article last week we saw that a flood of God’s judgement is coming to the church and we can only be saved from it by entering into the spiritual Noah’s ark. So it is vital to understand what the ark is, how to enter it and how it is being filled.
The spiritual Noah’s ark at this time is the knowledge, revelation and experience of the perfected love of God. The physical Noah’s ark was built of wood with dimensions 300 cubits for the length, 50 cubits for the width and 30 cubits for the height.
Spiritually these figures represent:
Wood is taken from trees that represent men (Psalms 1.3, Is 61.3).
300= 30 x 10 which represents the mature (30—Luke 3.23) knowledge of the commandment (10—Dt. 4.13) of the love of God (1 John 3.23), being practiced by a Gideon’s army (300—Judges. 7.7, 15.4-5, 2 Chronicles 9.16) of saints who have the fire (Psalms 104.4, Luke 3.16) of the Holy Spirit at different levels of development in the love of God.
50—represents the Pentecostal experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost by which we pray in the spirit with tongues (Acts 2.4) to keep us in the love of God (Jude. 1.20-21) and unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4.3).
30=3 x 10—perfect (3—Luke 13.32) operation of the commandment (10—Deutonomy 4.13) of the love of God (John 13.34) by spiritual fathers in the ark.
Now the flood of judgement will not drown this ark of the love of God, rather it will be lifted up as a city built on a hill that cannot be hid:
Song 8:7(NKJV): Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised.
Isaiah 2:2(NKJV): Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
This ark of the love of God is already built and ready.
However, God is now filling the ark with the animals or ‘living things’.
Genesis 7:1-4(NKJV): Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”
The animals represent born-again Christians (living things that have the life of God in their spirits (1 Johnn 5.12)), have a willingness to perfect the love of God in their lives but do not have the knowledge to do so at this time. There are millions of Christians like this trapped in traditional religious organizations whose traditions are making the Word of God of none effect (Matthew15.6), but who are sighing deeply in their hearts desiring the perfection of the love of God in their lives.
They are typified in
Ezekiel 9:3-7(NKJV): Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the LORD said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” 5 To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. 6 Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple. 7 Then He said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.
So God, by his spirit through deep (Psalm 42.7) united praying in the spirit of saints who have the knowledge of the perfection of the love of God, is drawing these ‘living things’ into the ark where they will be under covering and so protected from the flood of judgment and grow spiritually in the ark during the flood.
John 10:16 (NKJV): And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Ezekiel 34:11-12, 20-24 (NKJV): ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. 20’Therefore thus says the Lord GOD to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. 21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, 22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them–My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the LORD, have spoken.
Once the ark is filled, the flood will come.
So it is vital NOW to have firstly a willingness to perfect the love of God and secondly to start to practice once you have the knowledge of how to so that the coming flood of judgment will not cause you to be cut-off but rather to grow to perfect the love of God!
