方舟的三层
方舟有上、中、下三层。这三层表明方舟的高度。帐幕的三部分表征我们必须进入的深度。方舟的三层表征我们必须达到的高度。一面说，我们越过越深；另一面说，我们越过越高。方舟的三层表征三一神。那么方舟的第一层是指三一神的那一位？在路加十五章我们看见三个比喻：牧人寻回迷羊，妇人找到失去的钱，父亲接纳回家的浪子。第一个比喻说到子，第二个说到灵，第三个说到父。按我们的经历，灵先临到我们，找到我们，把我们带到子前，并感动我们相信子。我们相信子之后，就呼喊：“父阿！”灵把我们带到子，子再把我们带到父。当我们来到父面前，我们就进到第三层。
方舟向天透光的窗
在方舟上有一个向着天的窗。希伯来文的窗字，与正午同字根。这意思是说，当你在窗下，你就是在正午。你是在阳光下，满了光。究竟你是在第一层，第二层，还是第三层，乃是从你所得光的程度得着证明。许多基督徒，可说相当火热，但他们并不太在光中。你是在方舟的那一层？你在那一层是由你有多少光来指明的。你的光越多，你的层次就越高；你的光越少，你就越低。
在方舟上只有一个窗。今天人们对于不同的职事有许多争论。窗只有一个，光只有一个。使徒保罗告诉我们，必须弃绝与他所传讲所教导不同的教训。在神的经纶和神的教会中只该有一个窗。光不该从东、南、西、北各方来，只该从天上来。在神的建造中只有一个窗，一个启示，一个异象。光是从上头来的。
方舟边上的门
方舟只有一个门，开在边上。从来没有一个人是从天上落到方舟里，我们都是从边门进入的。只有一个门、一条路进入方舟。在方舟上只有一个窗口让光进来，并且只有一个门让众人进来。我们众人，包括使徒保罗，都从这同一个门进入。这门就是基督。

Building the Ark (2) – Gen. 6:16
The Three Stories of the Ark
The ark had upper, middle and lower stories. These three stories indicate the height of the ark. The three parts of the tabernacle signify the depth we must enter into. The three stories of the ark signify the height we must reach. On one hand, we go deeper and deeper; on the other hand, we go higher and higher. The three stories of the ark signify the Triune God. Then which person of the Triune God does the first story of the ark refer to? In Luke 15 we see three parables: the shepherd seeking the lost sheep, the woman finding the lost coin and the father receiving the returning prodigal son. The first parable speaks of the Son, the second speaks of the Spirit, and the third speaks of the Father. According to our experience, the Spirit first comes to us, finds us, brings us to the Son, and moves us to believe in the Son. After we believe in the Son, we call out: “Father!” The Spirit brings us to the Son, and the Son brings us to the Father. When we come before the Father, we enter the third story.
The Window of the Ark Opening to Heaven
On the ark there was a window facing heaven. In Hebrew, the word for window has the same root as noon. This means that when you are under the window, you are at noon. You are in the sunlight, full of light. Whether you are on the first story, the second story, or the third story is proven by the degree of light you receive. Many Christians can be said to be quite fervent, but they are not very much in the light. Which story of the ark are you on? Which story you are on is indicated by how much light you have. The more light you have, the higher your level; the less light you have, the lower you are.
On the ark there was only one window. Today men have many disputes about different ministries. There is only one window, only one light. The apostle Paul told us that we must reject teachings different from what he preached and taught. In God’s economy and God’s church there should be only one window. Light should not come from the east, south, west and north; it should only come from heaven. In God’s building there is only one window, one revelation, one vision. The light comes from above.
The Door on the Side of the Ark
The ark had only one door, opened on the side. No one has ever fallen from heaven into the ark; we all entered through the side door. There is only one door, one way to enter the ark. On the ark there is only one window for light to enter, and only one door for all men to enter. All of us, including the apostle Paul, entered through this same door. This door is Christ.
