Days of Noah

|
| Remember this, and this is a good positive word, but it still means that you have to really be real in your faith, okay? | |
| Because not everybody that just says, Lord, Lord, is going to enter the kingdom of heaven out of the mouth of Jesus, Matthew chapter 7. | |
| But in Luke 17, Jesus also said, the days of the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. | |
| Right. | |
| Just like the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. | |
| Now, we can go into all the details of what that means. | |
| But the thing I want to focus on right now with our discussion, our present discussion, is that look at those days in the Bible. | |
| Noah and his family, Lot and his family, were living in the worst days that those civilizations had ever seen under the greatest tribulation those civilizations had ever seen, right up until the flood came and the fire from heaven came. | |
| In other words, right up until God's intervention. | |
| But at the same time, God took Noah up in the ark and his family, took Lot and his family out by angels that got them out. | |
| But the thing is, those families hated what they saw and it broke their hearts, but God provided for their every need in the midst of it and then took them out at just the right time. | |
| Jesus said that those two things you just mentioned, Jesus mentions in the Bible together. | |
| Together. | |
| That he said just like when I come back, will be just like those two days. | |
| Those are very serious days. | |
| They're huge. | |
| They're huge hints. | |
| We're the only generation. | |
| How many times have I said this? | |
| Keep saying it. | |
| We're the only generation in the history of the planet that has now seen the convergence of the days of Noah and the days of Lot globally. | |
| It's here. | |
| Globally. | |
| Not just in Africa, not just in America, not just in China, not just in the, it's globally. | |
| And all of the governments are speaking with one accord. | |
| We've just gone through this whole virus outbreak, and the governments with one accord basically said to the churches around the world. | |
| That's right. | |
| Now, I know they also meant, you know, synagogues and mosques and the Hindu temples. | |
| But basically, it was just this 90% emphasis on the churches must close. | |
| The churches must not sing. | |
| The churches must have been sent to the south. | |
| You are going to kill us all. | |
| Pastors put in jail. | |
| In one northern city, the mayor threatened, if you open your church or try to stay open, we will bulldoze your church down. | |
| That's what they do in China. | |
| But this is America. | |
| First Amendment. | |
| They were just saying to heck with the First Amendment, you're going to kill us all. | |
| Well, now we know that wasn't going to happen. | |
| It didn't happen. | |
| And not because of the churches, but with almost one voice, almost all the nations of the world joined in that, right down to telling us if we could come back to church, when we could come back. | |
| They were saying, we'll tell you if, when, and how many you can have there, and what you can do and cannot do, and whether or not you can sing your praise songs for the Lord. | |
| Because if you sing, you'll spread the disease and kill us all. | |
| Truth thrown to the ground. | |
| Persecution against God. | |
| But liquor stores were open. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Just the days of Noah. | |
| Yeah, the liquor stores, casinos, everything. | |
| Abortion. | |
| Just like the days of Noah. | |
| Just like the days of Lot. | |
| And I tell people all the time, think of those words just like. | |
| I remember. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And it doesn't mean kind of like, sort of like, similar to, or these are just little illustrations of. | |
| No, he says, Jesus said, the coming of the Son of Man, he's talking about himself, will be just like the days of Noah. | |
| And just, and the overarching umbrella of that, you can get into the details of Sodom and Momorah and what was going on there. | |
| You can get into the details of the days of Noah, the terrorism and the giants and the demonic incursion and all of that. | |
| All of that stuff is beginning to happen. | |
| It is. | |
| And now, and all flesh being corrupted in Noah's day, and now animals and humans and cloning and CRISPR-Cas9 and genetic editing. | |
| I mean, it's here. | |
| The globe is all involved. | |
| Never has there been a generation but ours like that. | |
| But the overarching thing of both of them was both of those days, he said, but the people will be eating and drinking and given in marriage right up to the time the time comes. | |
| There's nothing sinful about eating or drinking or being given in marriage. | |
| But the point is, they'll go on with life as though nothing is happening around them. | |
