Days of Noah

|
| And you know where the verse is found in Matthew 24. | |
| It seems like so much goes back to Matthew 24. | |
| And in Matthew 24, it says, as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. | |
| Now, a thought hit me recently about the days of Noah. | |
| Do you know that in the days of Noah, Methuselah lived up to two years before the flood? | |
| Yes. | |
| Methuselah knew Adam and Eve. | |
| Right. | |
| They lived. | |
| Isn't that exciting? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Boy, when I first realized that, it just overwhelmed me. | |
| I love that. | |
| In Noah's day, they lived 900,000 years old. | |
| Yes. | |
| At the time of the flood, they were only one generation removed from the miracles of creation. | |
| In Noah's day, they were not atheists. | |
| They knew God. | |
| They knew the stories of creation. | |
| The people in Noah's day was literally the backslid, lukewarm church of God's creation. | |
| One generation removed. | |
| As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man. | |
| Here's one aspect of this. | |
| We are one generation removed from the Welsh revival, the Azusa Street revival, a worldwide revival of Pentecost and a move of the Spirit and a great revival that went around the world with miracles, signs, and wonders. | |
| We are one generation removed. | |
| And today, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man. | |
| The church today is lukewarm. | |
| It is asleep. | |
| And God is going to have to bring judgment to wake up the church today, just as he did bringing judgment against Noah in his day. | |
| Not against Noah. | |
| Noah was part of the few, the remnant, that was awake. | |
| Well, do you know that right now, most of the church is asleep. | |
| And in Noah's day, I'm going to share something from scripture. | |

Warning Signs Ahead

|
| This is incredible. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| In Noah's day, that lukewarm church that knew God was asleep. | |
| Listen to what this says. | |
| As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man. | |
| For in the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. | |
| Now, you know this eating, drinking, and being, you know, and being married? | |
| That's what's happening in the world today. | |
| That's what's happening literally in the church. | |
| Oh, we're having just, everything's normal. | |
| Everything is okay. | |
| You know, all this talk about Jesus coming back, that's not going to happen for a hundred years. | |
| Well, listen to what it says here. | |
| It says, and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. | |
| The church today has got their heads so stuck in the sand, they don't even see what's coming. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's right. | |
| Noah's day, they didn't even, I mean, here Noah built the ark and he'd been preaching to them. | |
| And it says all about the warning signs. | |
| It was all about the warning, and it says they didn't know what's going on now. | |
| We have another gospel in the church today. | |
| Most churches in the powerful church are talking about money and how to get more money. | |
| Forgive me for saying that again, but that's what's happened. | |
| And they don't even know the warning because preachers say, we don't allow anything that scares our people. | |
| Yes. | |
| Do you think that warning that Noah was given was scary? | |
| My Lord, they didn't know what rain was going. | |
| This is literally saying, as it was in the days of Noah, the church was asleep and they didn't see it coming. | |
| And today, all of the warning signs, you know, Jesus said, Watch for the signs. | |
| And his disciples says, what will be the signs of your coming in the end of the age? | |
| And we're seeing these signs popping all over the place. | |
| And the church is just like in Noah's day. | |
