TEBAH 2: The Pitch and the Door

Genesis 6:14“Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”

We are still on the hidden mystery of Ark. When God was giving the instructions of how the ark will be to Noah, God told him to cover the ark with pitch both inside and outside.

For us to get the Prophetic meaning of the Pitch, we first need to get the literal meaning.

PITCH means a waterproof object that doesn’t permit water movement or water penetration. Strong Concordance Hebrew word for pitch means ‘KAPHAR‘ which still means: ‘cover, purge, make Atonement.’
You can read more about this in my article ‘ YOM KIPPUR’ . The word ‘KIPPUR‘ was coined from ‘KAPHAR‘.

In the New Testament, Pitch is translated as ‘PROPITIATION‘.
Jesus is the pitch that didn’t allow God’s Judgement (Water) to come to us. *1 John 2:1-2*

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
And he is the PROPITIATION for our sins: and not for ours only, but also the sins of the whole world”. *1 John 4:10*

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he _loved us, and sent his Son to be the PROPITIATION for our sins”.

THE DOOR

Genesis 6:16″A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the DOOR of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it”.

Another silent but salient point is that the Ark is having only one door. And it’s rare for you to see a very big ark that will be having only a door.
So, Just as the ark is having only one entrance, it is also only one entrance Into eternal salvation which is Jesus. _John 10:9_
