An allegory of the Ark

AELW2:155

"Hence that which by its nature is nothing but wrath becomes grace for those who believe; that which is nothing but death becomes life. Thus whatever misfortunes there are, of Which this life surely has countless numbers and by which our bodies and goods are beset—all this will be turned into salvation and joy if you are in the ark, that is, if you believe and lay hold of the promises made in Christ; for death, which carries you away, must be turned into life, and hell, which engulfs you, into a way to heaven."
