When devastation comes upon the earth to rid mankind of the evil forces, Jesus is our Ark. It will be a day of rejoicing, for salvation will come to those who've trusted in him, but for everyone else, panic, for it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God! It is imperative that we continue to pray for the lost. Can you imagine being on the Ark, knowing every living creature will be robbed of their last breath? Living through such a time will be harsh and mentally draining for someone with compassion, which I assume every Christ-follower has. Even if we don't see those we prayed for struggling for life, I'm sure we will still experience loss. Noah knew people who were snuffed out by the flood; their decision to entangle themselves in evil matters rather than righteousness sealed their fate. I imagine Noah hired many people to help build the Ark, yet their work didn't save them; they did it for a paycheck and probably mocked him behind his back. They had a rude awakening when the rain came, and the springs bubbled up. It shows that not every person who built the church will be saved; only those who trust Jesus with all their heart will see salvation. Don't stop praying for your loved one's salvation through Jesus; He is our Ark.

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. Genesis 7:23
