[center]AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH[/center]

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all (Luke 17: 26-27).

The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9; emphasis added).

According to the second Scriptures above, there is no new thing under the sun. Are there so much wickedness, violence, injustice, iniquity, and unrighteousness in world the today? Yes, there are. But all these evil things are not new under the sun (meaning in this world). Are there also goodness, peace, justice, equity, and righteousness in the world today? Yes, there are. But all these good things are not also new under the sun. There have been good men on earth and there have been wicked men on earth as it is today. In the days of Noah, the wickedness of man was so great in the earth and the imagination of men’s earth was evil continually. For this cause God was so grieved at His heart. At that time only one man was righteous in God’s sight and that man was Noah. Noah, because of His righteousness, found grace in God’s eyes (Genesis 6). God then spoke to Noah about the wickedness and corruption in the earth and about His intention to destroy the earth and its inhabitants by a flood. God told Noah to build ark to preserve from the flood those who fear and believe God when Noah begins to preach. Noah preached righteousness for 120 years but all humanity at that time turned deaf ears to the word of God. At the end of 120 years, God sent a flood to destroy the then world. Only Noah and his wife, his three children and their wives – 8 souls were saved from the flood along with male and female of clean and unclean beasts, fowls and creeping things (Gen 7: .
Now consider the patience of God. God waited for 120 years for people to repent and believe His word. At the end of 120 years, only 8 souls were saved! Since there is no new thing under the sun, God, in this our day, has been waiting for all humanity for over 2000 years to believe the gospel (good news) of the kingdom of God before He destroys this world with fire (2 Peter 3:7). Understand that God is a Holy God. He hates sin with passion. But He loves His creation. “God so much loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrificial Lamb for our sins. Those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send His Son to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. For there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (John 3:16-17; Acts 4:12).The good news is that Jesus came to this world. He died to take away our sins. He was buried and on the third day He rose triumphantly having conquered satan, sin, death, and the grave. His triumph is your triumph. His victory is your victory. And He did this for all humanity – irrespective of men’s religion, race, color or gender.
Jesus warned in the first passage above: “As it was in days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man (Jesus)” In the days of Noah there were a lot of marriages as we have today. There was a lot of eating and drinking then and now. Men did all of that but turned deaf ears to the word of God, until the flood came and destroyed them all. The same thing is happening today. For over 2000 years the gospel has been preached. We are now in the years 2011. Over the years many have died without believing the gospel and have gone to hell. However, many have believed the gospel and died and are now in heaven. What about you? Will you be saved and safe from the impending judgment? If yes pray this prayer aloud: Lord Jesus, come into my heart, wash away my sins. I confess you as my Lord and Savior, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
