Genesis 7:1
And the LORD said unto Noah, COME thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
When I was studying this verse, I came across a foot note in the Scofield notes. It seems that this is the first time that the word "Come" is used in Scripture. After this, Scripture is filled with the word "Come". What does "come" signify in the Word of the LORD?
1. This invitation is extended by GOD to man.
2.It urges man to avail himself of the perfect provision GOD has made for his preservation.
3. It is given in a time of overwhelming judgment and doom.
What does this have to do with us today and our household? GOD is calling us all to come to Him, "believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be saved, and your house". There is salvation in the Blood of JESUS and He is inviting us to COME to Him. The Ark is a symbol of the place of salvation, a tangible shelter from the storms of life. JESUS is that shelter and in JESUS is all the provisions for Eternal preservation. JESUS is the "shelter in the time of storm". We are beginning to feel the travail of the world. It is shaking and groaning, awaiting the salvation of the Children of GOD; the time of the coming of the LORD is close by. As the groaning and shaking becomes more frequent, be alert for the words "Come up here". We do not know the day or the hour, so be alert to the voice of the LORD.
BEHOLD, ICOME QUICKLY, AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE. (The Revelation 22:12)
