"For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God." For this reason He invites Noah into the ark,'Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation." This generation refers to the generation of Jesus Christ. What God implies is Noah is after our image and 'after our likeness'. God alone is righteouss.
v.2 " Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female." The Law of the Spirit set the Covenant by seven days where God's blessings cover man in his Son and it is not just for day or month but for everlasting. By twos means what is already mentioned in the earlier post. In his Son the animals are to be kept alive; also in Jesus Christ which refers to his humanity. The ark was not about to go on a cruise but to the new earth. This was a dry run for the new heaven and new earth. Thus they were' not clean' in the sense of accusing man for his fall. The righteousness of Noah as a Mediator came to save the sinners, " I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."(Lk.5.32)
Notice here a difference,"Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."(v.3) They were to be preserved not by twos but by sevens. They were in mid-air and in service so their reward we read,"And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;/That ye may eat the flesh."(Rev.19.16-17). Their service as the raven and the dove shall attest was in the mind of God.
v.4 "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights" Four is a Command word for the word of God, in his humanity. 4x10 expresses Jesus the word became flesh.
