I was only inspired to write about it this morning following the incredible events that have happened worldwide regarding homosexuality, Adultery and policymakers.
Yep! What was abominable to mention 20 years ago is now legal and of course there's a huge backlash, but sadly, it will get even worse.
I asked myself if we were silent and just let it happen? No, we weren't silent. But now, more than ever its time to start BEING about it, instead of just talking about it.
So, what does Noah's day have to do with it?
Noah's ark is a biblical story of how the earth was destroyed by a global flood with only 8 people surviving.
In this period, there was all the immorality that we see today, and worse actually.
The thing is, once a person decides to go down the path of self indulgence and casts off restraint, he can pretty much do the unimaginable... up until he self destructs. And that's what people did back in Noah's day.
The flood was judgement for how evil the world had become... now even though the flood was imminent, there was a way that was open for the ones who believed a flood was coming and wanted to escape it : THE ARK.
For over 100 years Noah built that gigantic ark along with his family. Imagine what everyone around him thought! I imagine they thought he was "hearing things", "crazy", "what could possibly happen to us?!" It was a bizarre concept. Strange... until the rain came.
Another story of judgement is the popular biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by fire. The catch in this story is the same as Noah's. There was a way of escape. How? Abram asked GOD if he would spare the city for 10 righteous men, and God said he would... but there was none, save Lot.
They continued life as usual until the fire came.
The story of Jesus' return and the rapture is almost like a cliche... but it is real. There is a judgement for the unrighteous but the righteous will be saved because there is a way of escape
"For God so loved the world that HE gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life".
In Matthew 24, Jesus gives a clear detailed account of the signs that will happen that point us towards the end of this age. What fascinates me is that he speaks truly and decidedly... like "take it or leave it". You choose.
People didn't listen to Noah's warning as he built the ark, they didn't change their ways but continued to go deeper in sin. Today, the message has gone forth to the world to change their ways and be saved from judgement because JESUS is coming back to take his own, His righteous ones.
We still have the choice today, like they did back then. Reconsider and repent or go on indulging in our selfih pleasures until one day, that day arrives.
The choice has always been ours... chooseLIFE
