Genesis 6:16

The Lord has me exploring 6:16 throughout the Bible. I will go to find all of the chapter sixes verse 16 and document any revelation I receive around it and hopefully It makes us all closer to God. 

Genesis 6 : 16

"You shall make a window (tsôhar; light) for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the arc in its side you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks."

If Jesus is the ark, the chest holding the heart (Word, will, miracles, Love, expectation) of God, why are you highlighting 6:16 versus to me and how does this connect to that?

It connects like a Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8 the Garden was separate for God's unique purpose and use. A space for interacting) and the pursuit of excellence in the face of tremendous adversity (chaos, disorder) if the ark was not built to exact specifications, it would not have survived through the different trials it faced during the tribulation that it went through. Your heart must be unencumbered and specified. (in order to walk out the call that God has for you, each moment of your life makes you into a specified tool or vessel in the hands of the Potter)

(In a fruiting tree:)The roots (like the instructions given to Noah) have to be as extensive and organized as the fruiting limbs above, nearly identical. (constantly bringing up resources) When there are juicy fruits, there is much death that provided for that fruit. There is much decay in the creation of soil, it is the inborn death in the life on earth. Fruits grow from detritus, death; things like: leaves, bugs, fruit, wood, poop. Dead things feed the fruit's growth.

Think of all the death that Noah witnessed through those windows (that must have been tremendously sobering to know that God had chosen him to carry out this task, and that what he was hearing was true.), he had his plans; his marching orders. He was mocked and ignored, but he built. Just like Holy Spirit dwelled in and built Israel, the Jewish people, to build an ark (Jesus) worthy of hosting God’s ultimate rescue mission, the return to eternal life. Think of all those faithful stewards of the Word who lived and died for the Son of Man to exist (Matthew 1:1-17) for just 33 years and then forever, through His death. Although Christ only came for 33 years, think of how thick His “soil“ had to be. God flooded the Earth so He could occupy a pure and holy, organic vessel; to preserve the DNA of the man made in His image. Uncorrupted. That’s how important His design of us is to Him. He would only occupy a purebred vessel. Holy Spirit will only dwell in arks that are human, pure human, the original design. Even all of that death was soil for the coming Messiah. Earth is a closed system. All that ever was is, and it is all that will be. Any newness and the New Earth can only come through the life, death and obedience to the Risen King.

Think of the death tied up in the eternal life given to us by Christ. For eternal life, God had to be crucified. God had to die as the sacrifice for eternal life. (He became the only soil that could bring forth that type of fruit)

In Summary, the ark had to be crafted in a particular way with specificity in order to survive DEATH and bring abundant regenerative life on earth.

Why do you think there were three levels to the ark?
