5 similarities between Noach (Noah) and Mashiach (Messiah)
“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.”Matthew 24:37 NASB
God testified in the Torah passage נֹחַ Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32) that Noah was “righteous in his generation,” and God called Noach to save his family and a remnant of mankind from the Flood.
Yeshua (Jesus) had a similar mission 4,000-plus years later. How are Noach and Yeshua similar? Here are five main similarities.
Table Of Contents
1. Walking with God
We see a few examples of walking with God in Torah, including, Enoch. We read in the last Torah portion that God walked with Enoch and beause of that close relationship, God took Enoch away from his people. We can infer that by Enoch’s time, there were very few people who had an intimate relationship with God. Noach, just as his great-grandfather, was, in a different way, taken away from his people.
2. Intercession for others
Unlike Noach, Job and Daniel, Yeshua’s intercession was successful not just for Himself or His immediate circle of influence but for all of mankind who would accept Him.
“And a word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, if a land sins against me so that transgression occurs, I will also stretch out my hand against it and will shatter its support of bread, and I will send out famine upon it and will take away human and cattle from it. Even if these three men were in its midst, Noe and Daniel and Iob, they shall be saved by their righteousness, says the Lord.” (Ezekiel 14:12–14 NETS)
Daniel is famous for his prayers to HaShem for his intercession on behalf of his people. He also prayed for their repentance. He considered others valuable and worthy of prayer. Job was known for the same thing. He interceded for his children and also his friends. Noach physically interceded on behalf of his family as well as all the animals God made. All three of them cared more about others than themselves.
Ezekiel 14 shows us what kind of generation Noach lived in. They were evil on the inside and out. History repeats itself. God is the one who cleaned up the mess, not Noach. We also see that even as the righteousness of Noach, Job and Daniel was so great, but they were able to save some of those for whom they interceded but not all of them. Job’s intercessions saved his friends but not his children, Noach saved his immediate family and the animals but he was not able to save his siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, etc.
“Even if I bring harmful animals against the land, I shall also take vengeance on it, and it shall be as an annihilation, and there shall not be one who passes through from before the animals, even if these three men were in its midst, I live, says the Lord, if sons or daughters shall be saved! But they alone would be saved, while the land would be for annihilation. Or again, if I bring a sword upon that land and say, “Let a sword pass through the land” and I will take away human and cattle from it and these three men be in its midst, I live, says the Lord, they shall rescue neither sons nor daughters. They alone shall be saved. Or again, if I send out death upon that land and I pour out my wrath upon it with blood so as utterly to destroy human and cattle from it and Noe and Daniel and Iob shall be in its midst, I live, says the Lord, if sons or daughters should be left behind! They shall rescue their souls by their righteousness.” (Ezekiel 14:15–20 NETS)
