2. Introduction
The Scriptures are chock full of parallels, shadows, types, etc.
Passover lamb and Christ: Jn. 1:29; 1 Cor. 5:7
Adam and Christ: 1 Cor. 15:22, 45
These many parallels have two major ‘takeaway’ lessons for us:
Value of the Old Testament: Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:11
Evidence of inspiration: 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:19-21
There are many valuable parallels between Noah, the ark, and the great flood and Christ and the church.

11. Are you prepared? Are you “in Christ” ? Conclusion
Tragically the people ignored God’s warnings in the days of Noah: 2 Pet. 2:5; Matt. 24:37-39
Are you prepared?
Are you “in Christ” ?
People today are making the same exact mistake; they are ignoring God’s warnings of final judgment and eternal punishment for those not “in Christ” : 2 Thess. 1:7-9; Matt. 25:31- 46; Mk. 9:42-48
Most people today are as unprepared as those in the days of Noah! Matt. 24:37
