Noah's Ark, Grace, and Messiah's Return

Noah got into the ark in this month. On Cheshvan 17, Noah was in the ark on the civil calendar. A year later, on Cheshvan 27, he walked out. He entered the ark on Cheshvan 17 and walked out ten days later on Cheshvan 27.

The great flood began on Cheshvan 17. Noah's name means grace, and if you change the letters of his name backward, it means grace. Noah's name perfectly correlates with scripture. The days of Noah's rest correlate to Messiah's rest, the millennial kingdom, as "the days of Noah will be as the days of the Son of Man." Noah was a just man, a preacher of righteousness, and a man of faith. We can glean Noah's godly attributes this month and pray into the anointing of faith, rest, and grace.

Hebrews 11:7 states, "By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith."

As it was in the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. In the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man. The world was wicked, but Noah found grace in the Lord's eyes. The door to Noah's ark is a symbolic picture of Yeshua, the door through which all mankind must enter to receive eternal life. John 10:9-10 says, "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly."

The Hebrew word for ark is "tevah," meaning "a house sealed by the Spirit of God." This is the same word for the basket in which Moses was placed in Exodus 2:3. Yeshua is the door that opens to the ark of God. We too are sealed by the Holy Spirit, as Ephesians states: "In whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."

1 Corinthians 1:21-22 says, "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge." 2 Corinthians 5:5 states, "Now He who has prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a pledge." Ephesians 4:30 says, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."

The first time the word "covenant" appears in scripture is in the story of Noah and the great flood. Noah's journey intersects with important dates on Elohim's calendar. Noah and his family boarded the ark seven days before the flood began. Methuselah died on Cheshvan 10, and they had a seven-day mourning period for him. This is why the flood started on Cheshvan 17, not Cheshvan 10.

When you read the Noah account, know that Methuselah passed away on Cheshvan 10, they had a seven-day mourning, and then the flood came on Cheshvan 17. Yahweh shut and sealed the doors as the flood commenced. Water prevailed on the earth for 150 days. Calculating from Cheshvan 17, 150 days later lands on Nisan 17, the Feast of First Fruits, the day Yeshua was resurrected.

The calendar and scriptures go perfectly together. Noah's ark rested on the mountains of Ararat in Turkey on the Feast of First Fruits, where the seven churches are also located.

On Cheshvan 10, Noah's family and the animals boarded the ark. Methuselah passed away, and there was a seven-day mourning. Seven days later, on Cheshvan 17, Yah shut and sealed the doors as the flood commenced. The water prevailed for 150 days. From Cheshvan 17, 150 days later is Nisan 17, the Feast of First Fruits, the day Yeshua was resurrected.

According to Genesis 8:13, the first day of the first month was Tishrei 1, using the civil or Genesis calendar. On Noah's 601st birthday, Noah removed the covering of the ark, and the land was dry. This was a rebirth of the earth. When Messiah returns for His second coming, He will also rebirth the earth.

From Cheshvan 17 (entering the ark) to Nisan 17 (ark rested) is 150 days. Then it goes to Tammuz 1 in the Genesis account, the first day of the month. Then the dove and the raven events occur around the 9th, 16th, and 23rd of Av. Then it goes to Tishrei 1. On the 601st year, Noah removed the ark covering. The earth was reborn, and they walked out of the ark on Cheshvan 27.

Yeshua will do the same thing upon His return; He will rebirth the earth. As the days of Noah were, so will be the days of the Son of Man. Noah released the covering of the ark on the Feast of Trumpets. Fifty-eight days later, he walked out of the ark. Noah's gematria number is 58, which means grace.

On Cheshvan 27, Noah and his family exited the ark, built an altar, and offered a sacrifice. Afterwards, the Noahic covenant was established, substantiated by God's rainbow.

To recap: on Cheshvan 10, Methuselah passed away, followed by a seven-day mourning. Everyone was in the ark. On Cheshvan 17, the Lord sealed them in. On Tishrei 1, Noah's 601st birthday, the Feast of Trumpets, Noah removed the covering of the ark, the land was dry, and the earth was reborn. Messiah will do the same upon His return on the Feast of Trumpets. Fifty-eight days later, from Tishrei 1 to Cheshvan 27, Noah walked out of the ark. This 58-day period corresponds to Noah's gematria number, 58, meaning grace.

After this, the covenant with Noah was established, with the rainbow as its sign.
