Noah’s
Ark, a symbol of salvation and the church of Jesus Christ
Today,
reply is on salvation and divine grace; acknowledging baptism in the
unchanging process of GOD; and water baptism as an outward and
visible display for unseen, sacred operations. Sin and wickedness
are re-appearances of the confusion and disorder in place during
preexistence that were removed by the divine acts of Creation.
Necessarily, the works to convey deliverance and salvation display
much of the same process and spirit that appeared in the beginning.

"God
doesn't change" (Mal 3:6). Why was His first baptism (I Cor
10:1-2) one in which the children of Israel didn't get wet (Exd
13:16;22)?
Update:
WHY ARE WE "GETTING WET" YET "OUR EXAMPLES" (I
CORINTHIANS 10:11) DIDN'T? THE (((PRINCIPLE OF GOD))) FOR BAPTISM IS
FOUND IN EXODUS AND (((NO ONE GOT WET)))! WHAT ARE WE DOING?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And God saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD
said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of
the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found
grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6: 5-8,
King James Version, KJV)

“GRANNY
NORINE”, the themes of rebirth, resurrection and salvation that
appear in water baptism (i.e., the death and burial of ones inborn
spirit with birth of a new spirit from divine seed) should be
understood as the same as those we see in the account of divine
judgment appearing as Noah’s
flood. Part of the full revelation we are being given by GOD so that
we might exist in a continuing relationship with divinity includes
the demonstration and reminders that mankind has been set apart by
GOD to exist separated from chaos, confusion, instability, and
lawlessness. Here are some further thoughts on the elements within
the plan of GOD:
The
operations of divine fullness (we say, the GODhead; the Father, the
Son, the Holy Spirit) that reveal the character, nature, and
substance of GOD are inseparable, joined, sequenced and simultaneous
events that establish and maintain divine order throughout the
universe. Included are Creation, decree (the proclamation of sacred
law), judgment (i.e., applying sacred law to resolve conflicts;
lawful settlement of disputes), and sovereign rule.
The
operations of sin promote death, separation from GOD, nonexistence,
and the return to conditions that were in place before the founding
of heaven and earth. The divine will must be imposed upon chaos,
disorder, and flux (the multiple streams of undefined, unnamed and
unfocused matter). This also has been described and portrayed for
mankind as the world of Noah’s
day; Noah’s ark as a type
representing the church of Jesus Christ; the deliverance of Lot from
Sodom and Gomorrah; the deliverance of Israel from Egypt; and Israel
walking on dry land through the waters encouraged by Moses and
Joshua.
Sin
has not been created by GOD or mankind, and may not be eliminated by
a simple reversal of a known process. Sin has no spirit substance or
power, yet, has direction, effect, and “presence”; and sin may
dominate consciousness and self-will in created beings and living
creatures. Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, the
Lawgiver, and all the aspects of Creation that rely on lawful order.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, the immutable, unchanging, eternal
purposes of GOD that are revealed through the holy writings include
the creation of mankind to exist on the earth as a companion to
divinity. Divinity has used multiple sacred tools that are not
material or physical to accomplish the divine ends. Included are
atonement, sacred blood, forgiveness, prophecy, sacrifice, suffering,
unselfish service, and the holy writings.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to
your faith.
