AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

In Matthew 24:37-42 we read: But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

From here we can learn the following truths about the days of Noah and compare our current world events with it.

1.      Mt.24:38 - People were eating and drinking just like in the ordinary course of life.

2.      They were getting married and conducting marriage ceremonies just like in the ordinary course of life.

3.      Simply put, they were living their lives oblivious of the spirit realm.

4.      Then Noah entered the Ark.

5.      Because they never believed Noah, they could not receive the word of the Lord. They therefore were not watching to see when Noah entered the Ark before God sent them the flood. They all got trapped in the rain and were drowned. This was a sad surprise for them because they did not believe Noah’s message. This is the way the world is right now.

The Lord has announced His soon return but many are still sceptical. They do not believe. The three main religions on earth today have three diverse views of His return. They all agree he is coming soon but are in disagreement as to who the Messiah would be.

Please understand that the Messiah first came about 2,000 years ago as a poor Carpenter unknown to many until God concluded His preparation for Ministry through His parents and John the Baptist and all the other mentoring in-between. He submitted to the Baptism of John and was immediately driven by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. No guile was found in Him. Then He was graciously released into public Ministry but was restricted to Israel where He was eventually crucified in Jerusalem on a hill called Golgotha; based on false accusations against him by the then religious rulers who were envious of him.

At that time, He said He came to lay down His life that He may take it up again. He who knew no sin laid down His life and our sins were nailed on him on the Cross so that the body of sin might be taken away from as many as would believe in Him. Jn.3:16-19; Rm.6:4-11 and Jn.10:17-18.

Sadly, the flood of the new age is sweeping many away and causing a great falling away from the faith that may likely drown some in perdition if they do not repent. Also, some have covenanted with death and hades and decided to hide themselves under the covering of falsehood claiming the flood would not touch them. See Isa.28:1-22. I pray dear reader that you will be exempted from this judgement through genuine repentance.

When we believe this message, we can show our faith in His word below by saying this prayer and getting baptized. Baptism is the means by which we express our faith and submit to the Lord Jesus Christ in faith and look forward to His soon return with joy:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
