God cleanses His Cosmic Temple and points to the need and promise to bring about a renewed, restored (New) Creation.
1. God will cleanse His Cosmic Temple because of the Sin of Humanity.
“So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” (v13)
“So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” (v13)
God = LIGHT and LIFE!
Sin = Darkness and DEATH!
Sin = Darkness and DEATH!
2. The Floating Temple is the Safe Haven from the Storm that embodies the resetting of creation.
“So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it:” (v14–15).

3. There is only ONE WAY into the TEMPLE—the Door.
“Put a door in the side of the ark. . . . On that very day [that the rain started to fall] Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. . . . Then the Lord shut him in.” (6:16; 7:13,16).

4. Our W.A.L.K.-ing leads to Obedience which becomes a means of witnessing.
“Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.” (6:22; 7:5)
When we WALK with GOD we become WITNESSES to the WORLD.

When we WALK with GOD we become WITNESSES to the WORLD.
Walking faithfully with God over time leads to the God’s Wondrous Works through our faithfulness.
The building of the ARK could bring CONVICTION and thus a heart that awakened to the INVITATION.
The building of the ARK could elicit CONDEMNATION and thus a heart of INDIGNATION.

5. Salvation naturally provokes sacrifice and praise to God.
“So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. . . . Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.” (8:18, 20)
