Shadowland: Beginnings: Week 13

The Flood

• 7:24 Revelation 9:5. Similarly, the 6th trumpet apparently has the same length of time as the flood.
• 8:1 "ark" is translated "coffin" elsewhere. We are buried with Christ in baptism.
• 8:4 17th day of the 7th month: coincidentally, 3 days after Passover, also a Tuesday, as in 8:5.
• 8:5 James Jordan worked out the days of the week for the flood year, and the first day of the 10th month was a Tuesday, the day dry land appeared. The flood ended on a Thursday. The flood is recapitulation of the (re?)creation of Genesis 1.
• 8:17 Repeat of the command in Genesis 1
• 8:18-19 Not one was lost of man or beast or bird on the ark. John 18:9 "Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none."
• 8:21 Revelation says there will be "no more curse", so this means cursing the environment is no longer effective at curtailing evil - especially since mankind will be cursing the ground for himself, being of evil heart.
• 8:22 "While the earth remains." Read the fine print.
