Genesis 6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. .

The “I” within man is God. This is the mystery of mysteries that the servant of the Lord calls, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” What glory? The glory of the living God—a glory that belongs to the Lord and the Lord alone. Only the Lord God inherits the glory, the power, and the honor, for they are His and His alone.

But why would God inherit the honor and glory that are already His? Because He set aside His glory and descended into a lowly, impoverished state called “the man of the earth.” He made Himself lower than the incorporeal angelic state, taking on mortality to experience the limitations of hell and death.

The same Lord who descended from heaven is the same Lord who will ascend on high, returning to His glory. For no one ascends on high except the One who first descends from the same.

Man, having fallen into a state of deep sleep, becomes unconscious of the One within—the living God. He externalizes God, unaware that He is the very core of his being. The mission of every man who has tasted this sleep of death is to awaken to the truth: “I Am God, and I shall inherit all things.”

The Parable of Noah

The enigmatic story of Noah is more than a historical account; it is a parable of how God creates the man of the earth by conforming Himself to the terrestrial realm. It also reveals how, in an act called repentance, God destroys what He has created and forms a new creation, into which He ascends.

“Remember, I do all these things: I kill and make alive; I create darkness and form light. I am He, and besides Me, there is no one else.”

The sons of God in the days of Noah, who descended to unite with the daughters of men, are a riddle of how man sets aside his divine glory in the living God to be conformed to the terrestrial. Sons of God are pure creatures of light who do not mingle with flesh and blood. To unite with flesh and blood, a son of God must abandon his first state in God.

These are the angels who did not preserve their first estate but corrupted themselves by mingling with flesh and blood. In doing so, they became trapped in the prison house of sin and death.

The creeping things and beasts upon the earth represent the naturalistic, beastly nature that man assumes in his descent into mortality. This is evident in the lustful, prideful, contentious, and unruly nature of the earthly man. This beast cannot be tamed as long as man dwells on the earth.

The giants, mighty men, men of renown—the offspring of the union with flesh and blood (the daughters of men)—are the ones who reigned with violence and wickedness upon the earth in the days of Noah. They are symbolic of the man of sin, who impersonates God upon the earth. This is the abomination that causes desolation, destruction, and pain.

Noah: The Awakening of the Son of God

Noah is the son of God who comes back to his senses—the one who, in silent meditation, through the eyes of the Spirit (God), observes the unmitigated evil and the penchant for mischief that envelops man’s mortal existence. He sees that there is no cure for man as long as he dwells on the earth and discerns the painful end and annihilation of his kingdom upon the dust.

He foresees how the floods of lies and illusion will sweep men away, dragging them down a slippery path into ever-increasing pain, sorrow, and death. He sees how man is suddenly stripped of all he believes himself to be and all he possesses.

Noah laments what he has brought upon himself by conforming to the terrestrial. In repentance, he turns from the corrupt works of his hands and returns to his first works as a son of God—restoring his true nature in the divine.

God’s Repentance and the Return of the Prodigal Son

God’s repentance and His resolve to destroy everything He created reflect the resolve of the prodigal Son of God, who declares:

“I will arise from mortal living and ascend into my first state in the Father.”

“The end of all flesh has come before me” is the confession of the son who leaves behind his mortal existence to return to God—his true life.

The Ark: The Way of Faith

Constructing and entering the ark is the art of exercising faith, aligning oneself with the celestial as it was in the beginning. Dwelling in the ark represents living by faith in the Spirit and working by the Spirit. This calls for patience, boldness, and unwavering confession of the faith.

Having seen the celestial model of God’s kingdom and understood that you originated from there, you can begin your ascent by walking in the new and living way.

The invisible hand of God, also called the power of the resurrection, lifts the Son on high to the pinnacle of the creation of God, where he rediscovers his dominion and power. In this elevated state, man rediscovers his true light image and likeness of God—a state of pure perfection and unhindered access to the glory of God.

All those who attain this dimension of life please God. They live and walk by the light of the seven Spirits of God as demonstrated in the rainbow that appeared in the new creation. All those who awake become partakers of the sweet fellowship of love and rule and reign with all power and dominion over all things from age to age.

Let those who can hear return to God—the true life of every man.

I have believed, and so I have confessed it by walking in this new reality by faith.

Amen.
