=== Days of Noah (02:43) ===

[00:00:00]  And you know where the verse is found in Matthew 24.
[00:00:03]  It seems like so much goes back to Matthew 24.
[00:00:06]  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.
[00:00:15]  Now, a thought hit me recently about the days of Noah.
[00:00:19]  Do you know that in the days of Noah, Methuselah lived up to two years before the flood?
[00:00:27]  Yes.
[00:00:27]  Methuselah knew Adam and Eve.
[00:00:31]  Right.
[00:00:32]  They lived.
[00:00:33]  Isn't that exciting?
[00:00:34]  Yeah.
[00:00:36]  Boy, when I first realized that, it just overwhelmed me.
[00:00:39]  I love that.
[00:00:40]  In Noah's day, they lived 900,000 years old.
[00:00:46]  Yes.
[00:00:47]  At the time of the flood, they were only one generation removed from the miracles of creation.
[00:00:55]  In Noah's day, they were not atheists.
[00:01:00]  They knew God.
[00:01:02]  They knew the stories of creation.
[00:01:05]  The people in Noah's day was literally the backslid, lukewarm church of God's creation.
[00:01:14]  One generation removed.
[00:01:17]  As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man.
[00:01:24]  Here's one aspect of this.
[00:01:28]  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.
[00:01:45]  We are one generation removed.
[00:01:49]  And today, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man.
[00:01:56]  The church today is lukewarm.
[00:01:59]  It is asleep.
[00:02:02]  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.
[00:02:13]  Not against Noah.
[00:02:14]  Noah was part of the few, the remnant, that was awake.
[00:02:18]  Well, do you know that right now, most of the church is asleep.
[00:02:24]  And in Noah's day, I'm going to share something from scripture.

=== Warning Signs Ahead (02:10) ===

[00:02:29]  This is incredible.
[00:02:30]  Listen to this.
[00:02:31]  In Noah's day, that lukewarm church that knew God was asleep.
[00:02:36]  Listen to what this says.
[00:02:40]  As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man.
[00:02:44]  For in the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark.
[00:02:54]  Now, you know this eating, drinking, and being, you know, and being married?
[00:02:58]  That's what's happening in the world today.
[00:03:00]  That's what's happening literally in the church.
[00:03:03]  Oh, we're having just, everything's normal.
[00:03:05]  Everything is okay.
[00:03:06]  You know, all this talk about Jesus coming back, that's not going to happen for a hundred years.
[00:03:12]  Well, listen to what it says here.
[00:03:14]  It says, and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.
[00:03:24]  The church today has got their heads so stuck in the sand, they don't even see what's coming.
[00:03:29]  That's right.
[00:03:30]  That's right.
[00:03:32]  Noah's day, they didn't even, I mean, here Noah built the ark and he'd been preaching to them.
[00:03:38]  And it says all about the warning signs.
[00:03:42]  It was all about the warning, and it says they didn't know what's going on now.
[00:03:47]  We have another gospel in the church today.
[00:03:49]  Most churches in the powerful church are talking about money and how to get more money.
[00:03:56]  Forgive me for saying that again, but that's what's happened.
[00:03:58]  And they don't even know the warning because preachers say, we don't allow anything that scares our people.
[00:04:07]  Yes.
[00:04:07]  Do you think that warning that Noah was given was scary?
[00:04:11]  My Lord, they didn't know what rain was going.
[00:04:13]  This is literally saying, as it was in the days of Noah, the church was asleep and they didn't see it coming.
[00:04:21]  And today, all of the warning signs, you know, Jesus said, Watch for the signs.
[00:04:28]  And his disciples says, what will be the signs of your coming in the end of the age?
[00:04:32]  And we're seeing these signs popping all over the place.
[00:04:36]  And the church is just like in Noah's day.
