AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

Luke 17:26-27

“ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 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.”

If these were the words of mere man we might well disregard them, but since they are the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, they must and will be fulfilled perfectly.

Mark 13:31

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

Let us carefully then, notice how it was in the days of Noah.

Genesis 6:5

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart were continually evil.”

Yes God saw!

The word does not tell us what man thought, but what God saw.

And what was the wickedness of man then, compared to the wickedness of man today?

Has man not murdered the Son of God, and for almost 2000 years rejected Him?

Jesus foretold that the wickedness that demanded the crucifixion and rejection of the Son of God, would continue and expand right up until the very day that Christ returns to set up His earthly kingdom.

Men in Noah’s day probably thought they were living in the day of tremendous progress, but the “earth was corrupt.” Genesis 6:11

The journalists of this world have noted that they no sooner record one deed of destruction and violence and then are called upon to record another.

But what is it before God?

What will it be very shortly when the true Church of God will be taken up to Heaven, and Satan deceives the whole world?

Peace will be taken completely from the earth.

Revelation ch 6

Prior to the flood God revealed to Noah that He would destroy man from the face of the earth.

Hebrews 11:7

“By faith, Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

Still the world went on with its building programs, its commerce, its pleasures and its sin--men would not believe God.

The ark grew larger every day, as a witness of the coming judgment, yet there certainly was no appearance of a coming flood.

Would God really destroy this world in its infancy?

Human reason said, “Oh no, Noah, you are quite mistaken, it is only your opinion! You had better give up on preaching such a peculiar and unpopular view! Come and enjoy yourself, don’t be such a narrow minded bigot! Can you not stop thinking that everyone is wrong but you?

But the flood came and destroyed all but the seven who “went in---as God shut the door” Genesis 7:13-16

Every soul that had not sought the protection of the ark was shut out.

It was too late!

Yes, and it will be so in the day when Jesus Christ returns to bring judgment upon those who deny Him.

We read in the parable of the ten virgins, “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord open to us. But He answered and said, Verily I say unto you , I know you not.” Matthew 25:10-12

But it was too late!

No more chances, the door was shut.!

Today, many still reject the word of God, with the same fatal result as in the days of Noah, but the warning to get into the ark has been given, and all should be encouraged to take heed and act, “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5: 2-3

Are you ready to meet the coming Lord?

Do you like Noah, believe God, or with the world, are you rejecting Him and the message of His soon return?

God sees everyone of your thoughts.

Believe God now, repent of your sins, and accept Jesus Christ, as your Savior and Lord.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Luke 12:10 “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.”
