Since you brought up the "boat theory", ludd, I'd like to suggest that there is a "new Ark" for our day and there is a call, as there was in Noah's day, to "get on board." There is a day fast approaching, perhaps even today, when the door to the ark will be closed.
The ark for today is Jesus Christ, or Yashua, if the traditional western spelling offends you. The Messiah was prophesied of by and to the Jews, hundreds of years before He came and became the "Lamb of God" slain for the sins of the whole world. He is also referred to as the "strait gate" the "narrow way" and is known as the "Good Shepherd." He is "The Reason for the Season" and made quite a splash in the lives of millions, even billions of lives down through the ages who have put their trust in Him. He is referred to in scripture as the Way, the Light, the Life, the Truth, the Word and on and on. He is "the substance of things hoped for" and without Him we have no hope! Contrary to popular opinion, He did not come the first time to bring Peace, but a sword. He crushed the "Prince of this World", the Devil, when He came and fulfilled His mission. This is why He is known as the Prince of Peace, because we can have no real peace on earth apart from Him. But with Him, we can have true Peace, despite the storms swirling around us!
The glory of God will shine brightly in 2006 and many will come to know and trust Him. I know my spirit was saved when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, but I am working out the salvation of my soul, day by day, as I read and meditate in His Word. My mind is being renewed and my faith is growing, as I learn to really Trust in Him with my whole heart and learn to lean less and less on my own understanding. Love is the answer and "God is Love." He showed us His love by giving us His Son.
Christmas is more than the celebration of the birth of a baby in a manger, it is the celebration of the fulfillment of the revelation of God entering the world in the flesh and providing us an "Ark" for entering eternity! All aboard! There's room for all!
