Consider what Jesus said regarding this and look at some amazing thinge coming. From Luke 17:26 &27;

Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

 

Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

 

Now look at "the day Noah went into the ark" from Genesis 7:11-13; 

 

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

 

Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

 

Gen 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

So the same day Noah entered the ark, the flood came and destroyed them all. The second month of the Jewish year when Noah went into the ark was Cheshvan. It correlates to November/Decamber on todays Gregorian calendar. The seventeenth of Cheshvan 5767 is November 8 2006. 

November 8, 2006 is exactly 14,400 days from the day Israel became a nation again on June 6, 1967. Precisely 40 years to the day. 

Did you know that Noah died inm 2006? Go here: http://www.practicalchristianliving.org/timeline.htm There is a typo putting Noah's death in 2005. It can easily be reconciled beccause Noah was born in 1056 and lived 950 years. 1056 + 950 = 2006.  

It also says in Genesis 9:27 & 28:

Gen 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.  

Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

 It has to mean Noah died on the same day the flood began. If it were after the flood was over, that would be 1 year later making Noah 951. So, if Noah died on Cheshvan 17, 2006 would that end the "days of Noah" thus requiring the day Noah went into the ark to be a mirror of the church going into God's presence at the rapture? 

One other interesting thing about why Noah went into the ark that parallels the rapture besides the being spared the "flood" (Greek is kataklusmos). 

Gen 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

Sounds familiar? I just thought I would add this to your question Rich about the possibilities?
