The 25-Hour Answer That Noah Enjoyed (Genesis 6:13-21) 1/1/2023
During the Nephilim Age, when mankind’s corruption was at its worse, God saved the world through Noah and his family alone. While Genesis four records how the world corrupted and crumbled because of the household created through Cain alone, Genesis five records how God’s covenant was relayed through Seth and his descendants and works arose to save the world. The passage of Genesis six records how Noah and his descendants changed the world and carried out works of saving the world. We are looking at what kind of spiritual person Noah was and what he challenged towards. To this day, scientists do not understand how it was possible to build an ark during that time and are merely amazed at the ark that took Noah’s entire life to build. He is the first model of the 25-hour answer. It was not Noah who did this. That was a masterpiece of absolute power and blessing that came from God’s absolute plan. Noah held onto that blessing, enjoyed it, challenged towards it, and was used for it. The world is corrupted, and crises will continue. God’s conclusion is that He will make us into His masterpiece.
- How is that work possible?
1) The beginning of all things of a believer is God’s grace. If we are bound by my power, skill, and level, eventually, we will be met with limitations, and everything will only become more difficult as time goes on. In an age that was so difficult where God was deeply troubled, it said, “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (verse 8).
① This is the start of an identity that all believers must hold onto. We have been chosen and saved by grace. He chose us according to his pleasing will (Ephesians 1:3-5). God did not look at our actions. It said that it is a gift of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). The reason for that was that we might not praise ourselves but praise His glorious grace (Ephesians 1:6). In each age, some were chosen this way in God’s grace, and we are within that in this age (Romans 11:5).
② The workers God used were all within this grace, and the masterpieces they made were all gifts of grace. This was the lifelong confession of Paul, who once gave much difficulty to the church through his zeal but who eventually saved the world (1 Corinthians 15:10). The moment we lose hold of this grace, me and what is mine comes forth. Conversely, if we look upon this grace, enjoy and confess it, then it is no longer I, but the things of God that transcend ourselves come forth. This is the 25-hour answer.
2) Noah was described as “a man who walked faithfully with God” (verse 9. What does it mean to walk with God? There is also much meaning when saying one can walk with other interpersonal relationships.
① He knew God’s heart, connected with that very heart and thought, and with the mission, vision, and conclusion God desired to do. What is God’s heart? It is taking compassion upon all souls and saving them (God’s aching heart and troubled heart). What is God’s thought? He desires to raise us who are lacking and raise us as witnesses. We must look at people with those sets of eyes. What are God’s mission, vision, and conclusion? This earth is not everything. It says that there will be judgment, and He will start anew. It said that all creations would be made new through Christ. We have been raised as evangelists and disciples who will be used for that work. The judgment of the flood of Noah’s time is just a trailer for that. It said to remember the rainbow after the flood (Genesis 9:12-13).
② God showed what must be done through the Word because he connected with God’s heart, thought, and vision. I have become distant from God if I don’t have the Word, and the Word does not come in me. Therefore, we must have the time to receive the Word, concentrate on the Word, and meditate on the Word during every worship time. Noah received the Word and followed it. He was used as someone who fulfilled the Word, and the ark came forth from within that.
- Then, what does the ark built through Noah signify? He did not merely make the greatest masterpiece of that age. Even unbelievers can create a masterpiece like that. The ark that Noah built was a masterpiece that possessed God’s everything. That were the three points of Acts 1:1,3,8.
1) God’s absolute answer, Christ, was within that (Acts 1:1).
① It was to relay Christ through the ark. What did God instruct to build the ark? The cypress Noah was told to use signifies Christ, who never changes (Hebrews 13:8). The pitch instructed to be used means that whatever storms of curses, disasters, and fate may come crashing in, it does not matter. It is Christ who is perfect (John 19:30). There was to be only one door. Only Christ is the way and the door to go God, and it means that Christ is the unique answer(John 10:9, 14:6).
② This is why we must study, work, and receive financial blessings (absolute reason).
It is to proclaim Christ to all the earth. It is because my life needs to be used as evidence of Christ. We must challenge ourselves with God’s reason in everything we do (1 Samuel 17:29). The 25hour power and answer will have no choice but to take place.
2) God poured everything into Noah, who held onto this reason and challenged himself. It is an absolute background and power (Acts 1:3). Everything about God’s kingdom and the answers and blessings of the throne is an unlimited power and strength that transcends all things. This is the 25hour.
① God will hold onto that faith so that we may not be shaken before any circumstances, misunderstandings, and persecution. Even when Peter was deceived by Satan and denied Jesus, He said, “I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail” (Luke 22:32). Although he was momentarily deceived because his flesh was weak, he eventually stood as someone who saved others like him and as the true evangelist of the church of Mark’s upper room.
② God prepared everything needed to build God’s masterpiece, the ark.
How can one build such an ark? He gave all finances and health that could not even be calculated. It was to where he could begin storing beforehand (verse 21). We must enjoy the blessing of storing up in advance for what the church needs and the works of saving the posterity and 237 nations (1 Chronicles 29:1-9).
3) The ark was God’s absolute conclusion to use the individual and the individual’s posterity as witnesses who save the world (Acts 1:8). We must no longer give any excuses and challenge ourselves towards this absolute conclusion that will make everything into evidence.
① Hold onto God’s time schedule in every moment and make time to enjoy God’s things. It is not a problem. It is a time to enjoy God’s deep things and experience the evidence that transcends all things. It is not a failure. It is a time to heal all hidden scars, unbelief, and destiny and form a vessel God uses. This is why Noah was told to place one window on top of the ark. It was so that we may look above, upon the throne 24 hours (Colossians 3:1).
② That is when Galatians 2:20 is genuinely experienced.
It is no longer my standard, level, and power. We triumph over all things with the faith that believes in the Son of God. The power that transcends my weaknesses, the world of darkness, weak people, and all things, the unlimited power, and spiritual power come from this faith.
Conclusion – The ark that is made within me is my spiritual system. Through me, my church, work, and posterity rightfully become the ark that saves the world and God’s unprecedented masterpiece. May this be a new year in which this answer starts anew.
