Title: Make yourself an ark.

Genesis 6:9-22

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations.Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corruptedtheir way on the earth.

The Ark Prepared

13 And God said to Noah, ―The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is

filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14

Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside

and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark

shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16

You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above;

and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and

third decks. 17 And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy

from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the

earth shall die. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into

the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every

living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them

alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of

animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, twoof every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself

of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for

you and for them.‖ 22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

Among today’ s Scriptures, one thing we should never forget is that God said to

Noah, ―Make yourself an ark‖ .

Make yourself an ark!

This is the Word of God emphasizing building an ark is work that benefits yourself.

7/29/2019 Title 79


Hearing the Word of God too is for myself, praying is also for myself, having faith

and doing God’ s work are all for myself, if all these works are for myself then I

cannot say complaints or grumbling.

If I go through hardship and work for others, then I would have complaints and

grumblings, but if I go through hard work for myself, then I would not havecomplaints.

If so, then hearing today’ s God’ s message is also for your own benefit and I hope

you pay attention and accept the Word of God so that you may take the lead in

saving your family, relatives and friends. I bless you with the name of the Lord.

The judgment by flood that eradicated the whole mankind was the work of God that

no one even the angles of the Lord in heaven knew.

Only to Noah who was a just man, God appeared and secretly told about the

judgment. The judgment by flood was the secret work of God which only Noah and

God know.

God first reveals His secret administration to His servants who fear Him.

Amos 3:7

7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing,

Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

God will show His secrets that are hidden in Him to those who believe only in God

and those who fear God.

When the time of judgment by flood, God revealed His secret to Noah and when the

time of Sodom and Gomorrah, God revealed to Abraham and Lot. (Genesis 18:20-21)

God revealed His great secret to Noah that He would judge the world of the day.

Genesis 6:13

7/29/2019 Title 79



filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

God said to Noah, ―Make yourself an ark,‖ and this Word of God was not given to

Noah’ s wife, son or daughter in law.

God said to Noah, ―Make yourself an ark,‖ and therefore Noah alone received that

message.

After hearing this command from God, when Noah gathered his family to tell them

what God commanded him his wife, his sons and his daughters in law did not argue

him. They believed the Word of God as it is testified by Noah.

After God revealed the secret of great judgment of the day Noah, God made acovenant with Noah.

Genesis 6:18-21

18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you,

your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of

all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you;

they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their

kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will

come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is

eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.‖

When Noah received this Word of God and did; according to all that God

commanded him, seeing this, God commanded Noah to enter into the ark.

Genesis 6:22-7:1

Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.Footnotes:

Then the LORD said to Noah, ―Come into the ark, you and all your household,because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.

The judgment by flood was a great judgment of God’ s wrath which was never seen

before in the history of mankind and it was a great disaster that destroyed all living

things that have breath on the earth. It was a truly great disaster and sudden

7/29/2019 Title 79


change of the world yet it was an incident which gave prior notification of it thru

Noah.

Thus, when people could not escape from the judgment, it was not because they

were not aware of it. Although God informed the mankind of the coming judgment,

people did not listen and did not obey the Word of God and that was why they couldnot be saved.

Getting married, building, buying and selling houses; for the people at the time

were occupied with such things they did not give ears to the Word of God and could

not understand God’ s message.

Matthew 24:39

39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the

coming of the Son of Man be.

Originally judgment by flood was not the punishment which God had in His mind,

but because of the sons of God who freely married as they pleased and as a

consequence man became flesh. Because of this God decided to judge the world by

flood.

The sons of God were from the lineage of Seth and the daughters of men were from

the lineage of Cain. Seeing children born thru the marriage between these two, God

called them flesh and pronounced that the Spirit of God shall not strive with man

forever.

Genesis 6:3

3 And the LORD said, ―My Spirit shall not strive[a] with man forever, for he is indeed

flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.‖

Man is the being created according to the image of God and when God said man is

indeed flesh, it means man is beast.

To a beast, God does not breath into its nostrils His Spirit, namely, His breath.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+6&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-141a




7/29/2019 Title 79


Man without reason and understanding, we call him a beast. People who know

nothing but my family, my son, my daughter, my wife, my things, if they do not

even know their parents and neighbours, aren’ t they beasts?

To man who became flesh God said his days shall be one hundred and twenty

years.‖

It is a declaration that God will shorten lifespan of human.

Here, what God meant by his days is not simply the length of lifespan of man, but it

means a generation of one man.

After the flood, man’ s generation could not go over 120 years and the actual life

expectancy of man decreased greatly.

The everyday life of mankind of the time was a life that totally forgot and excluded

God. Although they called the name of God with their lips, they had no thanksgiving

and they did not glorify God.

Romans 1:21

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were

thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were

darkened.

People who live life without God are destined to be exterminated. Do you truly give

thanks to God whether you are an elder, deaconess or deacon?

As you pass by the day of Peace several times each year, how much did you give

thanks to God?

In the time of Noah the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intent

of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 11 The earth also was corrupt

before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

It means life of all men living on this earth was like this.

7/29/2019 Title 79


No matter how luxurious the house you live in may be, no matter how expensive

the car you drive may be and even though you look like living life without lacking

anything, from God’ s point of view, they are all wearing the garment of corruptness

and going to and fro.

As we read Genesis 6:6, we know that God was sorry that He had made man on theearth, and He was grieved in His heart.

It means God was so stifled He was out of breath. It is a very shocking expression

to say that God was grieved in His heart.

What went wrong to have such a rascal born in our family? You open the window

and shed tears gazing out the window, but when your neighbours or other people

see you, would they know how you feel?

God finally made the decision and it was, ―The end of all flesh has come before Me,

for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy themwith the earth.‖

Genesis 6:13


filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

God has said the details of making a decision to bring the world to judgment which

was not predestined. It means the world of the day made the judgment inevitable.

In Today’ s NIV Bible, Genesis 6:11-13

11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how

corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.13 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.

However, even in the midst of such sinful world, only Noah found grace in the eyes

of the Lord.

Genesis 6:8

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Finding grace in the eyes of the Lord means that Noah walked with the Word of God

and believed according to the Word of God and obeyed the Word of God.

7/29/2019 Title 79


As God said this, immediately after this, God commanded Noah to build an ark with

gopherwood for himself.

Considerately God even showed the blueprint for constructing an ark and as it is

stated in Genesis 6:22, Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he

did.

The author of Hebrews said regarding this incident,

Hebrews 11:7

7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear,

prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world

and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Moved with godly fear, fear means to respect and to be afraid of.

It means Noah upheld the Word of God with fear and trembling until the end andpoured all his heart.

Footnotes:

The Apostle Peter said 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust,

that He might bring us[e] to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by

the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who

formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited[f ] in the days

of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were

saved through water.

To thousands and ten thousands of people, God informed of the coming judgment for 70 years,

nevertheless, only Noah, his wife, his sons and daughters in law were saved.

Didn’t Peter say a few, that is, eight souls? It shows how difficult it is to evangelize.

1. The time it took for Noah to build an ark is not 120 years.

Until this day, pastors and theologians taught that it was 120 years and it was all lies.

Nowhere in the Bible it says the time it took for Noah to build the ark is 120 years.

As it is stated in Revelation 22:18, we must not add to or take away from the words of the written

Bible.

Announcing that the time it took for Noah to build the ark was not 120 year is the truth that is

revealed in the books God’s redemptive series for the first time ever under heaven since the time of

Noah until now.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter+3&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-30441f





7/29/2019 Title 79


God’s redemptive series clearly pointed out the names of people who wrongly taught this fact about

the Bible and we have not received any statement of protest regarding this and among theologians

either domestic or foreign, there was none who protested against this.

This proves that what God’s redemptive series revealed is true.

In Genesis 6:3, 120 years is not the time it took to construct an ark, but because of disbelief and sin,

a generation of human will be decreased to 120 years. Generation of human is decreased means

the lifespan of human will also be shortened.

New Living Translation

3 Then the LORD said, ―My Spirit will not put up with[b] humans for such a long

time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be

no more than 120 years.‖

It means the Spirit of God, the life-giving breath of God, cannot stay with humans.

It means whether it is their acts or thoughts, humans are occupied with corrupt thoughts from the

moment they are born.

That is why God said man cannot live longer than 120 years.

Like this, the Word of God in Genesis 6:3 is totally irrelevant to the time it took Noah to build the ark.

At the time, because the sons of man were all inclined to flesh oriented lifestyle, God warned them

about corruption and judgment following after.

1) When did Noah received God’s revelation regarding ark?

As God commanded Noah to build an ark (Genesis 6:14-21), God said to Noah, “18But I

solemnly promise that you, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law

will be kept safe in the boat.‖ From this we know that Noah received the

revelation of ark after his three sons were married and had wives.

Very unusually, when Noah had his three sons Noah was over 500 years.

Genesis 5:3232

And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, andJapheth.

It says here Noah was five hundred years old and he begot his three sons

and the birth year of Noah’ s firstborn Shem is when Noah was 502 years old.

Genesis 11:10

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206&version=NLT#fen-NLT-141b




7/29/2019 Title 79


10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and

begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

The Bible says when Shem was a hundred years old, it was two years after the flood and thus,

Noah was 602 years when Shem was a hundred years old.

If so, then Shem was born to Noah when Noah was 502 years, right?

To find out when Noah begot his three sons exactly, we need to do some calculations.

Probably Noah did not beget his three sons at once. Let us assume that Noah begot his three

sons with three years in between each son, then Shem was born when Noah’s age was 502, and

Ham 505, and Japheth 508.

And it says in the Bible, Noah’s all three sons were married and had wives when Noah received

the revelation of ark, let us assume they were married around the age 30.

And if we assume each son got married each year, it would be,

Shem’s birth year which is Noah’s age 502 plus 30 = 532 so Shem got married when Noah was

532

Ham’s birth year is Noah’s age 505 + 30 = 535

Japheth’s birth year is Noah’s age 508 + 30 = 538

And therefore, when Noah’s all three sons had their wives, it was when Noah was 538 years.

Accordingly, Noah received the revelation of ark from God after his age was 538 years old.

2) When was the time Noah began to build an ark?

Genesis 6:22

22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

Here, “Thus Noah did” in Hebrew is “Bayath” and it means “He did subsequently right after.”

Thus it means Noah obeyed the Word of God as soon as he received it.

When Noah heard the Word of God commanding him to build an ark, Noah received that Word

with hands of faith and immediately inscribed the Word in his heart and immediately followed

and did all that God commanded him.

The time when Noah began to build an ark is right after he received God’s revelation of ark.

Constructing the ark according to what God had told him and preparing all things that are to be

brought into the ark; Noah began this work immediately.

7/29/2019 Title 79


Please do not forget that we too must have such faith like Noah in order to endure to the end

and survive.

When we assume Noah received God’s command to build an ark when he was 538 years old, we

should also assume that he began to construct the ark when he was 538 years old.

3) The completion of building the ark was before February second of Noah’s age 600 years old.

The time when the construction of the ark was complete is right before God commanded Noah to go

into the ark and it is right before the flood began.

This is so because God will never delay the judgment.

As soon as the ark was completely built, God did not delay a moment and as He commanded Noah

to go into the ark with Noah’s family God told Noah the day of judgment.

Genesis 7:4

4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and

forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I

have made.‖

Actually, the day when the rain of judgment started to fall was February 17 th of

Noah’ s 600 year.

Genesis 7:11

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth

day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken

up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Therefore, the day when God told Noah to go into the ark and let him know theday of the judgment by flood was 7 days before the day of the judgment which

was February 10th Noah’ s 600 year.

Accordingly, the completion of ark was done before February 10th of Noah’ s 600

year.

7/29/2019 Title 79


If so, then the time it took Noah to build the ark is from Noah ’ s age 538 to

before Noah went into the ark which was before February 10th, Noah’ s age 600

years.

If so, then the actual time of constructing the ark is 600 – 538 = 62 years.

It is correct to see it is about 60 years.

And therefore, the opinion saying that it took Noah 120 years to complete the

construction of the ark is an absurd idea.

Already, this fact is revealed to all over the world, it is clear that the spiritual

battle has begun.

The spiritual battle that truth and lie fight each other has already begun. I hope

you realize clearly what we must do, what our task is and become the saints of God who equip yourself with weapons and bullets required in the spiritual

battlefield.

Like this, we can trace and find out the time when the ark started to get built

and the time when it was completely built, we can estimate the time it took

Noah to construct the ark.

God said the target of salvation by the ark was 8 people and God re-confirmed

that the subject of God’ s covenant is Noah’ s family 8 people who constructed

the ark.

2 Peter 2:5

5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a

preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;

1 Peter 3:20

20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited[f ] in

the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is,

eight souls, were saved through water.

People desire only what their eyes can see and whether it’ s male or female, if it is

for

for money they trick and even kill each other.

Did not the Scripture say The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was

filled with violence?

To put an end to this God did not let humans live long and decreased their lifespan.

It is a result of horrible sin that man’ s lifespan decreased and man’ s life became

finite.

In Psalm 90:10, Moses said,10

The days of our lives are seventy years;And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,

Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;

For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Look at the fearful Word of God that says we will surely die if we sin.

Genesis 2:17

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day

that you eat of it you shall surely die.‖

Ecclesiastes 8:11

11 Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the

heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

The reason why men do evil bravely is because the sentence against an evil work isnot executed speedily. That is why God shortened lifespan of mankind.

How horrible the punishment regarding the sin of Adam was!

7/29/2019 Title 79


Look at the result of disbelief that did not believe the Word of God that he shall

surely die if he eats of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Adam was cast out of garden of Eden and life became the life of thorns and thistles.

Man who possessed the image of God became beast.

Why do you think God made a garment of animal skin and dress Adam and Eve

who sinned? (Genesis 3:21)

God let them know they are animals.

The punishment for Adam’ s sin was death.

Genesis 3:19

19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

Till you return to the ground,

For out of it you were taken;

For dust you are,

And to dust you shall return.‖

What does this mean, For dust you are, and to dust you shall return?

You are not a living spirit and no more than dust and therefore you shall return to

dust, you shall become a being without a breath of life, which means, you shall die.

This was a death sentence Adam received because of sin.

That is why in Romans 6:23 it says the wages of sin is death.

Job 4:7

7 ― Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?

Or where were the upright ever cut off?

James 1:15

15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-

grown, brings forth death.

7/29/2019 Title 79


As a result of sin man’ s lifespan has decreased and in the end they die.

Sinners cannot live a half of their lifespan.

Psalm 55:23

23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;

Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;

But I will trust in You.

Ecclesiastes 7:16-17

16 Do not be overly righteous,

Nor be overly wise:Why should you destroy yourself?

17 Do not be overly wicked,

Nor be foolish:

Why should you die before your time?

Being overly righteous or overly wicked is desperately trying to shorten one ’ s days

and die before their time.

We say you are desperately trying to die. Why are you trying to die so desperately?

We say such thing, right?

If we sin there is no peace in our household.

Isaiah 57:21

21 ― There is no peace,‖

Says my God, ―for the wicked.‖

However, in Proverbs 10:27 it says 27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days.

People who fear only God and say that they will live uprightly before the sight of

the Lord will prolong their days. How wonderful it is!

As it says in Genesis 6:8, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
