The Great Flood and A Great Salvation
How are We to Understand Scripture?
Literal
Straightforward, plain, common language
Unless clear that figurative language is called for
Grammatical - sentence structure, tense, voice…
Historical – documented records, timelines, eye witness accounts

Future Judgment
Earth destroyed by fire – 2 Peter 3
Certain – all of the promises of God are yes & amen
There is salvation from the judgment to come
Jesus Christ is our ark – are you in The Ark?
Notice, it was the ARK that did the saving.
“an ark for the saving” – only one
The Ark went through the flood and took it on for them
They were taken safely through the judgment of the flood because the Ark could overcome it.
The Ark – Salvation from Judgment
