 The last of the arks

What if Noah had an ark that was found? Would we be excited? If I said it was on Mt Ararat no one would be surprised. If I said it would be found within the next year maybe you would be surprised. What if it held seed and those seed were of things long lost? What if seed were still in the ark and was left there because God indicated it would be found? And what if that seed were so well preserved it was still viable?

 Now some would say such seed would be beyond value. Yet what if that seed were so pure it was considered impossible? And what if they thought it might come from Eden? Could it be possible? Could it be that something happened that caused the earth to fall? And if the earth fell could it be the foundations were lost?

 Now for those foundations to be found they would have to be revealed. And that would mean they would be found in a place long forgotten. Beneath the city of Calgary perhaps or even Lethbridge. And if they were found they would be beneath a thousand feet of soil.

 Now how could soil be so deep? Some would say it is thousands of feet deep. And it might be. Yet some would say that the soil were part of the things that used to be. And that soil lost is the soil of creation. Such soil would be well used by now but think if there were microbes. And those microbes beneath Alberta were the sole creation. And that meant the feet of the sole were the feet of those who lived in Eden. And that would mean God was about to reveal those things. And that would indeed be news.

 For if Alberta were the foundation of things lost what would happen if the things lost were things discovered? Would we be surprised that the soil and the sole were related? After all soil and sole are very close in pronunciation. And English is the one Universal Language which was chosen to represent things that were. If you doubt it take roi. Most of us know it represents king but some don't know it is part of the king of youth. For roi is part of roil and roil is part of the soil. And if soil and roil were related then who would find those things?

 Lets say that time were part of the nature of the curse. And the curse was part of the story of creation. How could that be? Lets say in verse one God showed He created Heaven and Earth. Yet He didn't say anything about Hell. And if Hell were made for the Devil and his angels then where was Hell? If it was in the earth then the earth was part of the curse.

 So that would mean we were part of the nature of things and that nature were part of the nature of things that were to come. And so man would begin to discover that there were microbes in the earth of great value. For they would be microbes that would be original. And that meant of life.

 Life microbes would fight cancer and Aids and disease on a level undiscovered until now. And they would be found only in microbes not in seed from the ark. The fact is if we grew that seed it might produce but it isn't seed from the ark which is the greatest of discoveries. It is seed of creation.

 Now that doesn't mean seed of the ark wouldn't be viable. It would. It would be seed so viable it would stun us. It would grow higher then anything we could imagine. In fact if there was one place on earth that was unaffected by sin it might have been the promised land. And it would have been sin in people and in giants and in things that were of time but not of nature. Nature would show its bounty. And that would be seed of creation.

 Yet the ark is only one place where seed would be found. Another is the ark of the covenant or the Ark found in the sanctuary of the Holy God. He would hide it in a place where there were no people. And that would be with Moses. Now some would say that does make sense but what would Moses have to do with it.

 Lets suppose Moses took on creation as well and he had to fight against evil. He would come out and look for anyone who had to fight it. And he would come out and look for those who were people fighting with evil.

 Now that might sound foolish especially since evil is going to be destroyed. But remember Moses was the one who loved God and who wanted to show the power of God. And so he made a staff and it was a rod that could become a snake. And that rod was of wood. We'll say of gopher wood.

 Now gopher wood may not sound exciting but suppose it was extinct. And suppose the wood used was the only wood representing creation? And suppose the shitta or shittim or acacia was the wood of the ark. And lets say that type of wood went extinct.

 And so if the earth is the receptacle of knowledge then somewhere there are seed of this tree. And that would be the ark of the covenant. For God wanted it to be reached by men and it would be found by those who search. And that means if they find the ark they had better be prepared not just physically but spiritually as well. For those who tried to breach the path would find it was strewn with mine over matter. In other words only a man of faith would find it.

 So if I have faith and I do that means I would find the Ark and I would search for it. And if I found it somewhere in the land of promise then God would make sure that I found it for those who needed it. And that would be those who had a way of opening it without being killed. Now that would mean that I could open it if I wished but I would be out of it for awhile because the presence of the Lord is inside.

 Now if that sounds foolish then remember God took his presence and felt it into things. Like the bush which burned and the ground which became holy. And they not only put it into the bush but they put it into the rod. And that was they not men. For that would be of the Spirit and of Christ and of God. And they would put into it one thing and that would be the body of the man who held it. And only Moses would be put there but in time.

 Now some would say that sounds like fiction so remember God doesn't play with Mother Nature. He created her and she submits and she is of Wisdom. And so Wisdom would know where to look and how to find the Ark. And she is the wisest of all creation.

 Now God is part of this and part of the nature of things. For in this He would say "Look for the Ark. And seek for the Ark of the Covenant. Remember that I am with you and I will help."

 Now I can fail if I refuse to seek but I remember a proverb of a wise man named Solomon. He wanted wisdom but was given a wise word. Seek it and it would come. And it did. And Solomon became a wise ruler and people marveled. So if I am to become a wise ruler I must find a way to see the Ark. And if I have found it then I could say that I saw where it was and it was carried down to a lower level by ice and by snow. And it became part of the lake of time and it was still there. Now if that lake is of water it would be within ice or water. And if water it would be preserved. Only seed would not stay alive in water. So that means for seed to be found the ark really does have to be divided. One part would be in ice and one in water. And the one in water is of wood that would preserve. For it was designed by those who wanted it to be of water. And if it were of pitch the pitch would be of seed and some may still exist in the crack of the wood. And if so that seed is of high value. For it would carry the nature of things that used to be.

 Now of the part of ice it would be of things not seen. It would be buried under ice. And to find it would remain an idea of time and one I might find if I'm called to.

 The other Ark will be discovered when men have chosen to find it. And that means they will seek it when they find what they want most. And if I find it for them, and God could show me where it is, then I could see what is found. And that would mean I would find it where lie of time is. And that would be where sin fell upon the people of Israel.

 Now if that seems like a strange lie then it is for it would be found in the place of death. And it would be a place of life. And so it would be carried into things and into time. And that means it was meant to be found and meant to be discovered.

 Now some would say that I don't speak well. I speak in mystery and besides even if I knew of it why should people seek? They would be those who have tried in the same region. And so I would say that men seek but they don't always know what God has planned. And so I would say they have found but they have not seen. And so if they seek for it then they must try to see with their eyes and not their heart. For the heart can deceive but the eye of the Lord is upon them who seek after the things of God. And so I find it by faith. And I find it by trust. And I find it when I seek. And that is part of the nature and part of the trust and part of things which cannot be known.
