As It Was In The Days Of Noah

As It Was In The Days Of Noah

"37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matthew 24:37 KJV)

Now Matthew 24 is prophetic to the Hebrew nation, there is no doubt or dispute as for that is concerned. Half of the chapter has been fulfilled and the other half will be in the future days to come, and as time moves forward, and society destroys itself willingly, the time is surely coming. For the sake of "CONTRAST" and the Lord's reference to the mention of the "Days of Noah," let us look at those days in comparison to America today.

How was it in the days of Noah? What was society like before temporal punishment of those without GRACE? What parallel can be seen? "

"5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." (Genesis 6:5-13 KJV)

Not much different than main stream America is it? The entire earth has been on a countdown since the fall, and the coming of Christ, reaffirmed that with with the "Age of Grace or Church Age." Now that the offer of God's grace is here and now, nothing is stopping or holding up God from finishing His redemption of His people, the nation of Israel, and the adopted children grafted into the family of God by grace. At any moment, a trumpet will sound! This is for certain, today we are closer than we were yesterday, and even closer than the 1st century church was. As each tick of the seconds, minutes, and hours of time click by, we get closer with each tick.

You may not be a realist, you may be one of those who were unaware as were the people of earth, ten generations removed from Adam and the Fall of Man. So let us look at a precept, a standard by which God looks at society, not just Israel but humanity. The prophet Isaiah was led to prophesy this passage:

"20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 5:20-24 KJV)
What does this have to do with us today? Well it is a standard to compare today's society, especially America with. You may be saying or thinking, "America isn't that bad." I would say, "Really? Let the facts speak for themselves." Consider these for a moment:
Four State Department employees returned to work for the United States yesterday, after being scapegoats, for the death of an Ambassador, and three other American State Department officials, that were deliberately attacked and murdered in Benghazi, Libya. No one is held accountable, and the Executive branch lied about it, yet nothing is done and nobody held responsible. Woe unto us as a people for tolerating it. Last year was the 40th year of infant murdering allowed under a judicial legislated law, and well over 50 million innocent baby human beings yes, baby human beings with little hands and feet, little fingers and toes, and souls murdered and called "CHOICE." This by itself warrants God's Hand of punishment, and makes Hitler pale in comparison by numbers of deaths, and it is legal. Woe unto us as a nation! Forty years of devaluing the human as an individual life, and you get what's been happening in Chicago, Illinois. Let us be specific for a moment. Yesterday three teenagers in Oklahoma, in the heart of America, shot an Australian college student on a student visa, a baseball player, jogging down the road. When asked, "why?" The response was, "We were bored." Woe unto us America! Last week in California, a state law was signed by their governor, which opened the door for the onslaught of wickedness. Now, a child can go in the locker room, rest room, dressing rooms of the opposite sex, based upon "HOW THEY FEEL AT THE VERY MOMENT THE CHOICE IS MADE" on which door to go through. How long before an innocent child is defiled? Woe unto the California! Woe unto us America! What else happened in the 1970's that has introduced such a wicked state of affairs in this nation? "NO CONTEST DIVORCES" were introduced in the individual states, which usurped the institution of marriage, (IN THE EYES OF SOCIETY BUT NOT GOD) and cheapened the wedding vow, so much that most just consider it a legal piece of paper, rather than the fact it is a covenant made before God, whether you are a child of God, or one of His fallen creation, still His ordained and desired plan. Let us consider "WELFARE" OF THE INDIVIDUAL STATES, where in certain states: HI, CT, MA, and the District of Columbia, a person on welfare makes more than the median income tax payer. That is theft from your fellow citizen and neighbor, and it is considered for the good of the nation, WOE UNTO YOU AMERICA!
These are just minute sliver, a micro-fraction, tiny slice of that which is called anything but what it is. EVIL. WICKEDNESS. WRONG. INJUSTICE. SIN. These are just the tip of the iceberg, when in comparison to the society in the days of Noah. So what is to be done Christian? (Self included 'me') Christians in Syria, Egypt, and many other nations on this sphere, are being persecuted at a rapid rate. Crucified in the streets and markets of Cairo, homes and buildings burned, and innocent Christians enslaved in Iran. What do we do Christians? What did Jesus say? He tells us only God the Father knows the day and time, and He also commands we carry out the "Great Commission" and not a suggestion. Israel is being pressed by the U.N. and her former allies to give away their OWN LAND! Land that has an over 5,000 year old deed to it. All in the name of man's deception of peace in the Middle East. Christians is you know your Bible, is not going to happen except for a 3.5 year Pseudo Peace Agreement until the time of Jacob's Trouble. Just some things to remind you of beloved, pray, serve, and share the Gospel! Love in Christ Jason.
