---THE DAYS OF NOAH ~~

--'JESUS CHRIST IS COMING, ...ALL WILL BE THERE ~~

--"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."
---[Hebrews 11:7] -- bible

--"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each
one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has
done, whether good or bad." --[2 Corinthians 5:10]

--"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:37). What were the days of Noah like? "The earth was filled with violence" (Genesis 6:11).
Today there is much violence of every kind throughout the world. Violence is common in the United States, even though the nation was founded on Bible principles. In Noah's day, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the Flood came and took them all away. Physical nourishment is necessary but should be done in temperance. We should eat to live, not live to eat. Many people in America are overeating while multitudes in other countries are starving.

"Marriage is honorable in all" (Hebrews 13:4), but today people are marrying, divorcing and remarrying as they please. In fact, large numbers of men and women are living together without being married. For people in Noah's days, life went right on until the Flood came on them very unexpectedly, because they didn't believe Noah's warnings. Today too, people are going right on in their sinful living and not preparing for the Lord's coming. More and more of them are turning away from God, whereas years ago many at least professed to be Christians. Increasing numbers are trying to entirely do away with the Bible and Christianity.

The Bible calls Noah a preacher of righteousness (2Peter 2:5). While he was building the ark, he warned the people of the coming Flood. Finally the rain started to fall, and all those who had scoffed at Noah perished. Today people are again mocking at the preaching of coming judgment.
Remember, The Flood did come, and judgment on the present sinful world is just as sure to come. ~~
