The Ark vs The Building of the Ark

 

The Ark vs The Building of the Ark

Genesis 6:13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me; the earth is full of their violence, and I will destroy them and the earth together.”

Genesis 6:14 “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood, with compartments inside, and coat it inside and out with pitch.”

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, having been shown by God things he had not yet seen, prepared an ark out of godliness, that he and all his family might be saved. By this he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes according to faith.

Matthew 16:18 “And I tell you, you are Peter; on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”

Ephesians 2:21 “In him the whole house, united as one, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

Ephesians 2:22 And you too are being built together in him, becoming the dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
