    Annotated Gen.8.1-6 "Forty days"

    v.6) And it came to pass at the end of forty days."

    Here the Spirit is referring to the land which is neither dry nor is it the new earth. The Spirit is only referring to what is mid-air or a no man's land so mount Ararat is an disembarcation point. The new earth and holy Jerusalem refers to the endtimes. So man is basically set down as sojourners and pilgrims. Faith of Abraham is an example that the Spirit uses to instruct us in righteousness." By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:/For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.." This also explains the triumphal entry of Jesus to the heavenly Jerusalem or holy Jerusalem lay en route to literal Jerusalem. (Heb.11.9-10)

    The Spirit is now continuing the Covenant unchanged and according to the Word oing its rounds. So forty (4x10) is a tag to indicate the time appropriate for the Ark to drydock. "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged"( vv.1-2)

    vv.3-4 As with the waters separated by means of a firmament we have two sets of 150 days separating in thie context as well. It is to the second part we shall focus upon. 5x10x3 where the Command number Three refers to the Son."

    On the seventh month the ark entering into its rest evokes Gen.2.3) "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."(v.4)

    5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen." Here number 10 is the number signifying the condemnation. Here is the earth condemned. "by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
