Zion, the Ark of Salvation

According to Matt. 24:37-39, it states that, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will be at the coming of the Son of Man (End Day). For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
As children of God living in these last days we need to understand clearly, why God compared these last days just like the days of Noah. In order to understand this we need to understand Noah’s position. In looking at the Noah story he was consider among all the peopl as a righteous man who walked with God, then in the same way in these last days we need to be righteous by walking with God. Then the question is how can we become righteous before God, cause according to Rom.3:10, “There is no one who is righteous.” In the book of psalms God gives us a clue on how we become righteous.

Psalms 119:172, states that, “May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.” Through we can understand from obeying God’s command, we can be consider righteous in God’s viewpoint. Then the question is where can we go to keep all God’s commands. In reading the Noah story God told him to build and enter the Ark. Then if Jesus compare our age to Noah’s time, there should also be a spiritual Ark that we need to enter in order to be protected from the last day disasters.

Psalm 50: 1-5; “The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth…From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth…He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” From this scripture God describes gathering all his children in Zion, which is the place where all God’s festivals are kept, which is the Church of God (Is.33:20).

Through the story of Noah we can understand right before destruction comes, God always provides a way of salvation also. I will truly like to give all glory and praise to our heavenly Father Christy Ahnsahnghong for buidling the spiritual ark of salvation so that we may be saved in these last days.
