The Hidden Meaning of "Pitch" in Noah's Ark | Genesis 6 Bible Study

B2L11 Did you know the "pitch" used to seal Noah's Ark is the same Hebrew word for "atonement"? In this Bible study, Les Feldick connects Genesis 6 to Hebrews 9, revealing how the Ark pictures our eternal security in Christ. Discover why Jesus told Mary "touch me not" and what it has to do with His blood in the heavenly Holy of Holies. In this lesson, Les Feldick takes us back to Genesis 6 to examine the instructions God gave Noah for building the Ark. He explains the advanced state of the pre-Flood civilization and why God had to bring judgment upon the earth. Les highlights the specific command to "pitch" the Ark within and without, showing how this word is key to understanding biblical atonement—just as the pitch kept the waters of judgment out, the blood of Christ keeps judgment away from the believer. Moving to the New Testament, Les connects this Old Testament picture to the work of Christ as our High Priest. He explains the significance of Jesus’ ascension to the heavenly Holy of Holies to present His blood, securing our eternal redemption once and for all. This study will give you a deeper appreciation for the security we have in Christ and why Jesus had to ascend before He could be touched.
