Building An Ark of Faith
Beloved saints, Bill Britton once wrote a very profound article which
showed quite plainly that contained within the Ark of Noah there can be
found God's plan of deliverance for all of His creation. Let me share with
you a little bit about this here, as it should help you to build the ARK
OF FAITH in which you (like Noah, as a type) can be “kept” when the hour
comes to test all those who dwell upon the earth. (Rev. 3:10). Let me say
here before I get into the prophetic details of this Ark, that if you have
not already completely submitted yourself to God to rid you of all flesh
and carnality now, I strongly advise and encourage you to do so, for if
your flesh and carnal nature is not dealt with by God in the manner that
He choses now (as a firstfruit unto God and to the Lamb), then it will
be dealt with in another way, in the fiery flood that is soon coming to
test and try the whole world!
It is true, dear friends, that Jesus is coming to exercise vengeance upon His
enemies in these last days. Please know though that His enemies ARE NOT PEOPLE!
No, beloved, Jesus' enemies are also your and my enemies, and the biggest one
of them all dwells right within our own hearts and minds! Yes (and I know that
this may come as a shocker to some), Jesus’ greatest enemy of all is our beastly
carnal nature! ... and He is coming to destroy that thing, first by the "spirit
of judgment and of burning" in an elect remnant, and then in a much broader
way, with a deluge of FIRE which is an outpouring of His Spirit! "But who can
endure the day of such a coming? "And who will be able to stand when He appears
in such a way?" (Malachi 3:2). His firstfruits will, that's who.
Anyway, here are some of the prophetic details of Noah's Ark, that vessel of FAITH AND DELIVERANCE which must be built in order for you and I to rise above the flood of judgment that is soon coming to the earth ...
Noah’s Ark was 300 cubits in length. The number “300” in the bible speaks of
COMPLETE AND DIVINE DELIVERANCE and of victory in conflict. You will be able
to see this if you study about Gideon’s army (300 men), Solomon’s golden shields
(300), Enoch’s
walk with the Lord (300 years)...etc. In these things we can gain greater insight
into those who shall experience divine deliverance in the Day of Judgment.
The height of Noah’s ark was 30 cubits. The number “30” in the bible speaks of MATURITY. Because this is used for the “height” of the ark it also speaks of coming into FULL STATURE and AUTHORITY. You will be able to see this more clearly if you study about David’s age when He was crowned king at Hebron (age 30), Jesus' age when the dove baptism came upon Him and He started His public ministry (age 30), Joseph’s age when he came into power and authority in Egypt (age 30)...etc. God is showing us in these things that within His end-time vessel of deliverance will be a company of sons who have come to a mature measure of stature in Christ. In these things we can also see that spiritual AUTHORITY will come to those of spiritual MATURITY.
The width of Noah’s ark was 50 cubits. The number “50” in the scriptures most often represents the HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING and the PROPHETIC ministry. We can see this more clearly when we study about “Pentecost” (which in the Greek means “fifty”). The number “50” represents those who are anointed by the Holy SPIRIT, but the meaning goes far beyond that “in part” anointing at Pentecost. It speaks of the ANOINTING, first at Pentecost, then the fullness of the Spirit as revealed in other parts of the scriptures. The sons of the prophets in the days of Elijah and Elisha were also kept in schools of “50.” 50 is quite often tied to the PROPHETIC. There are numerous other references to this number in scripture, something though that must be left here to the reader to seek out on their own, should they so desire.
Are you starting to see the picture yet, beloved? When you put all this together, you should be able to see that God has a plan of DIVINE DELIVERANCE for those who have willfully submitted to His chastening hand ("the spirit of burning") so that they will not have to endure the trials, tribulation and fiery judgment that will come on the Day of Judgment. These will be brought to a place of MATURITY in Christ and given great AUTHORITY in the realm of the Spirit. These also will have PROPHETIC insight and they will know the voice of God for themselves. These saints will have a HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING and unction like the world has not seen apart from the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. This Ark (of mature, anointed, fully sanctified vessels) will then be used by God in His divine plan to DELIVER all of His creation in the coming age from its slavery to corruption. These vessels will be used by God to lead it (creation itself) into the freedom of the glory of the children of God! (Romans 8: 19 -21).
Beloved ones, Jesus said; “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the son of man." I can assure you that there is a whole lot more to this than what many of us have been led to believe in Christendom. I’ve only been able to scrape the surface of this subject here, but please, seek the Lord for greater insight and understanding into these things for yourself. I know one thing for sure about all of this, and this is that my spirit is telling me that there is a flood of fiery judgments soon coming to the world and if I am going to rise above this fiery deluge I must NOW build an ARK OF FAITH AND DELIVERANCE. THAT is what I am now doing, and is what I am encouraging others to do also, even though in doing this many folks think that I’m crazy. "They" thought that Noah was a little nuts too, didn't they? ...
