The Sign

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth. There went in two and tow unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. Genesis 7:7-9

Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12

All had been prepared in the ark. All that was needed to finish was the time, of 120 years, the people, and the animals that were to be saved. When God instructed Noah to go into the ark means that the probationary period was just about to end. The final sign was for the animals to come into the ark. They came into the ark by 7s for the clean animals and by 2s for the unclean animals. This also shows that the laws of clean and unclean animals were already in place long before the laws of Moses. When the animals were finally in the final part of the process was ready to take place.

Prayer for Today: Thank You Lord, that You would take care of every detail for Noah and we trust that You will take care of every detail for us. Help us to know what we need to do and give us the courage and faith to obey You. It is amazing that Noah believed You and cooperated with You. Help us God to trust You also.
