    Annotated Gen.7.15-16 "By Twos"

    "And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life./And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in."

    Here the narrative is same as in the beginning. God commands the word and it is obeyed. "Let there be light: and there was light." Here God expresses His Will and in the latter half of the chapter it takes place. Two witnesses of all flesh wherein is the breath of life enters in the ark. God shut Noah in. It has the same finality as inthis verse, "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."(Gen.1.4)

    Breath of life is the word of God and wherever the ark rests and God let him out Noah is an apostle to the new earth. God set Noah as the double for his Son, " consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;"(Heb.3.1)

    v.20 " Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. This explains the end of the old world. Nothing more of it shall be remembered. "and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."

    What does 15 indicate? We see the Word circular following Jn.1.1 The Word gone forth from the mouth, the Word was God and it is now dispensed by Noah whose soul and of his Son are as one. Now he shall serve as the Word which was with God. Noah walking the earth as an apostle set 4x3=12. Here we shall consider a verse to fix the signiificance of 12. "When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."(Deut.32.8) Noah is not of the seed of Adam but of another seed' and Seth represent the number 12. The Spirit informs us, "And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years. Noah was righteous as Enoch was (7+5=12)

    "Three hundred sixty and five years" Five indicates the soul.
