Where are Your Ravens?

Noah's Ark:  Part IV - The Incoming           Genesis cc. 6-8

     In chapter 6:18-22 we see the promise of a covenant.  While that covenant is not given in detail here, we know that God always keeps his promises.  Noah is instructed to start bringing in "...every living thing of all flesh..." ( v. 19 ), "...to keep them alive...male and female.

     Each after its kind ( v. 20 ), and in v. 21 he is given further direction as to the gathering of food for both them and the animals.

     In chapter seven God gives more details on how to bring in the animals into the ark.  God told Noah to bring in the animals two by two, the male and the female ( 6:19 ), but here in greater detail, God says to bring in the "clean", two by two, but now God wants seven pair of each of the clean animals, and only one pair of every "unclean" animals.

     I am not really sure if there is anything to pull out spiritually here, other than, the direct obedience of Noah to the wishes of his Heavenly Father?  The one and only thing that does come to my mind is Matt. 7:13, 14.  The clean beast may represent those saved and pleasant in God's sight ( seen righteous ), and the unclean would be those lost, undone without God.  Any help would be appreciated and welcomed!

Hoping that today finds you "In His Grace"
