Dear Clay,
could you please elaborate more on your ''window of escape'' on Noah;'s ark.  [Dove letters 11 oct, 2004]'I found this most interesting and confirming, but in need more info. Can you share more if possible?
''ye brethren are NOT in the darkness that , that day shall overtake ye as a thief in the night'' [ what day, the day to be caught up the 17th day of the 7th month]
 that day = caught up to the throne of God = saints are not in the dark about this.
the window  used in Gen 6.v.16  [  can sometimes be translated   NOONDAY  we know noon is THE LIGHTEST TIME of the day.
 It is a different word than in Gen 8 v.  6.
[both ''windows'' are not the same word, there is a difference., even though the bible has translated both words to mean window.]
also 3 windows are mentioned.
the first 'window' is noon-day.
the 2nd window in Gen 8.v.2 = lattice, window, sluice
the 3rd window in Gen 8,v,6,=window (piercing of the wall)
 
the 3rd window word = challown {khal-lone'}
 i found rather interesting, for it says PIERCING OF THE WALL.. on the  17th day of the 7th month,
what if this ''piercing of the wall'' by this ''window'' was the ''twinkling of an eye, or the renting of the veil'' WHEN mortal, shall be put off  a saint shall be clothed with immortality..[see 1 Corn.15.v.50-57]
[the wall being the flesh of all adamic nature]
 It is a Mystery,  in v,51. but Paul is  EXPOSING this Mystery to his fellowship saints. that corruption shall be laid aside and incorruption shall take its place. , that even death [ the carnal mind] is swallowed up in the victory of Christ.
 If we look now back to Noah,  this dear prophet was hearing From Father Lord God, all the way thru, from building the ark, saving his family, preaching to others, entering into the ark for safety, to be ''carried across'' into the new world [ resurrection eternal life in type] yet,  this does not happen just yet till THE ARK RESTED [ to me this means a saint has fully come into Math 11.v.28-30 =where they rest only in Christ Jesus] and it is then, this window can be opened.
 the end of the trial and testing [type as 40days] has finished,
ummm.
 something to ponder.
 Father shall reveal  all as the time approaches .. as the Bride made herself ready.. amen
 thank for reading this Clay..
 FROM A  friend in Christ
