God Provides an Ark

When God's judgment comes upon the world, He makes a way for His people to be safe. Commentators note this is a loving call to retreat from the chaos. Just as Noah was given an ark during the flood, God provides a secure place for believers to hide. This verse is an assurance that you are not meant to endure the full force of God's wrath against iniquity, but to find shelter in Him.
