Gen 6:9-8:14 Chiastic Structure
I know hard times are coming on the earth – for the ungodly. We do not need to fear, because God is not sending the judgment on us. He will preserve us through the judgment. This is what Torah is trying to teach us, by having the central axis of the entire parashah be the single sentence that on the day the judgment came, Noah entered the ark (which is preservation). But please note how many times in this parashah a variation of “Noah did all that YHVH commanded him” appears!

Theme of the parashah
The ark of salvation for the righteous in the midst of judgment
Finding Messiah in Triennial Noach
When we see in Scripture a situation of certain death, in which a miraculous deliverance delivers from death, we are seeing a prophetic type of resurrection life. The sign of resurrection is a Teaching Tool Sign of Messiah, for He is the resurrection and the life.
Yeshua said unto her, “I AM the Resurrection, and the Life; he who believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” Joh 11:25
Noah was delivered from the certain death of the Flood by the ark, and the righteous were preserved through the judgment of the wicked. In fact, every nature and science museum in the world is declaring its witness with a loud voice to all mankind, that God judges sin, but in Messiah we will find resurrection and life. For they are filled with the fossils of all manner of animal and plant life, which were laid down with great amounts of sediment by water, and they have been found on every continent, including on mountain tops.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. Gen 7:20
These fossils declare that what was once living came to its death violently and catastrophically by a worldwide flood which covered the tops of the mountains. But since humans exist to view them in science museums, they testify that at least one family was preserved alive through judgment.
Messiah Yeshua is the ark, and He is the open door of the ark.
“I AM the Door: if any man enter in by Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Joh 10:9
If we enter through Him while there is time, we will be saved, but if we enter not, we will likewise perish. For judgment for sin will come, and even though God delay, as we saw with the long life-span of Methuselah, He will not tarry forever.
