Time to bring out the Ark.

Jesus Christ Is Lord!
30 November 2010

The word in Greek that is translated ark and used for Noah’s ark, the ark of the covenant and the ark of His testament is kibotos and is said to be from an uncertain derivation. It is derived from a combining of two words, ketos and boao. Strong’s says that ketos is from the root word chasma and means a great fish as if gaping for prey. It is translated whale. Boao is translated as cry and mean to shout as for help or in a tumultuous way.

It is the word translated cry in all four gospels when John the Baptist is described as the voice of one crying in the wilderness as he went before the Lord Jesus the Christ. John came crying to make ready and is described using a direct quote from Isaiah 40.

Boao is also the word used in Mark 15:34 to describe Christ’s words from the cross when he quotes Psalms 22. Later in verse 37 a different word, aphiemi, is translated cried. This word means to send forward. Then the veil is divided in two.

The ark is always what goes before to show the way. In the beginning it was a closed box as to symbolize the abeyance. It is even translated coffin in Genesis 50:26. The book ends with Joseph’s embalmed body in a coffin (ark) in Egypt.

Hebrews tells of the new way and that the veil is the body and that the way was now open. No secrets. Do you understand the ark? Revelation 11: 19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

1 Timothy 3
16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Revelation 10(7) and 11, Hebrews 10 & 11, Joshua 3, Psalms 2
