We are told that the end days will be a lot like the end days in Noah's time. Do you see anything today that makes you think of this?
Okay, we all know that everybody eats and drinks and gets married all the time, so there must be a message to the elect in these verses. It wouldn't make sense to say for example that JESUS will return while people still eat and sleep because people eat and sleep all the time (I know, bad example
).
But lets look at it. JESUS is saying that HE will return while people are marrying and basically having weddings, if you look at it. So, lets go back to the time of Noe and see what was going on.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
This is right before the flood:
Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
If you read those verses above you will see the message to the elect. They were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage, but to who?
To the fallen angels, that is who!
They are coming back! That is the message to the elect!
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
And you know that great wrath that the devil has because he knows he has but a short time? Well, you better read Matthew 24 and Mark 13 and Luke 21 and learn about the testimony that GOD'S elect will be giving and hope you are one of them. Because if you are not, the devil basically owns you!
GOD'S elect KNOW the TRUTH!
The TRUTH is The Seal Of GOD, the opposite of the TRUTH is the Mark Of The Beast!
If you KNOW the TRUTH, you won't worship satan when he deceives the world into thinking he is CHRIST.
And satan is that good at deceiving as this verse shows easily:
Mat_24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Good thing is says 'if it were possible'! I'm too happy that it is NOT possible!
