The Bible is full of types and shadows. In other words things that happened in the Old Testament speak to us in shadows of what will happen to us that are living in the New Testament. One example is Noah and the Ark. Noah a righteous man spent 100 years building a boat according to God's instructions to escape a flood. Main point to this story is that it had never rained on the earth much less flood. So it was noised abroad a "crazy man" is building a boat! This gave Noah opportunity to preach of the coming judgment of God. 7 days before the beginning of the end, God had Noah get into the Ark, and the God shut the door. When the rains came everyone that breathed air died. That boat took Noah above the destruction where he waited till the waters receded and then he came back to a "new" world.
We are building and "Ark" the "Body of Christ". We are talking about a judgment of fire coming on the earth. It has never rained fire! We are about to get into that "Ark" 7 years before the End to be caught up above the destruction, after which we will return to the earth. They laughed then, and they mock and scoff now. After God closes the door to salvation for the Gentiles they will scream and cry to get in...but will all perish in the "flood" of destruction that is to come upon the world.
The moral of the story? Get into the Ark, the Body of Christ now while it is still being build and escape the destruction of the wicked.
