Get In the Ark

As I have stated on numerous occasions, the Judgment of God is ready to take place, in the church and in this nation. This is something that as the people of God we need to be prepared for. No matter how "rosy" things may appear right now (whatever that may look like for you), be not deceived, Judgment Day is coming. The bible says that Judgment must start at the house of God (1Peter 4), then it will take place throughout the nation. I cannot stress enough, the Judgment of God is set to hit America. We must and will give account for our legislation of same-sex marriage. However, before God deals with the nation, He will first deal with His people, the church. Therefore, it is time that we Get in the Ark.

If you read Genesis chapters 6 and 7, you'll see the various dynamics that led to God's World-Wide Judgment through the Flood. In Genesis 6 the scripture says that "the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose". There are various interpretations of this text, but isn't it interesting that, no matter how you slice it, the issue was still dealing with marriage?  The scripture says that "they took them wives". That's a reference to marriage; an in this instance an "unholy alliance". This is what we must be careful of saints, getting involved relationally, organizationally, ministerially and spiritually into "unholy alliances"-relationships and associations that are not ordained of God. This is what sponsored the Judgment of God through the Flood.

Noah was called out by God because he had found grace in the eyes of God and he was just and perfect (Genesis 6). If there's ever a time that you want to "get right with God" it is now. The Holy Spirit is Faithful. The Lord is letting His people know what areas they need to "get their act together" in if they want to be spared the consequences of His Judgment. But the key to safety and preservation for Noah and his family is found in Genesis 7. God says to Noah, "Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation". The key to Noah and his family's preservation during the Flood of Judgment was to Get in the Ark. Notice, even though the Lord had declared Noah righteous and perfect, his righteous status was not the key to his Protection and Preservation from the Flood; Getting in the Ark was. Saints, the Ark is symbolic of Jesus Christ, and what we need to do now is Repent and Get into the Ark; get into Christ, hide in Him. Let the Lord be our Refuge. Let us learn to hide under His Wings and under the Shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91). This is something many of us still have to learn because we're still naturally inclined to find security and refuge in people and things. Those days are over. In order to survive in the days to come, Christ, the Ark of God, will have to be our Primary Source of Refuge and Safety. The Time is now saints. It's time for His people to Get In the Ark.
