I was watching a Ken Ham video clip about Dinosaurs and the Bible tonight, and aside from the double entertainment value of his fun Aussie accent, there was an interesting parallel he drew between Noah’s ark, and Jesus.
The only way to be saved was to walk through the door of the ark. Jesus likewise is the door to (eternal) salvation (see John 10:9). In both cases many don’t believe and choose not to walk through the door and perish. I never really thought about the door of the ark being symbolic of the cross before…but somehow seeing a video where they make an illustration of “you need to come through the doorway to be saved” with pictures, it seemed so obvious and John 10:9 “I am the door” comes immediately to mind.
And keep in mind the bible also says the next judgment will not be by water but by fire… (2 Peter 3:6-7)
