1 Samuel 5:1 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.
Noah's Ark in the Bible is seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus because, like the Ark saved Noah and his family from the flood, Jesus saves believers from sin and offers salvation. Just as the Ark provided a way of escape, Jesus is the way to eternal life and reconciliation with God.
