Beloved, I have been thinking a lot about the Days of Noah of late in light of our nation's EXPONENTIAL moral deterioration as a people (Prov. 14:34; 16:25; Matt. 7:24-27; 24, 2 Tim. 3:1-5). The more I observe, view, and study our day (in light of the last 20 years) it is so crystal clear that we are indeed in the vanguard of the Days of Noah as our Lord Jesus foretold (Gen. 6; Matt 24; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 6-19)! This message this morning is for those who want to truly see, know, and understand our last days as America from a biblical perspective and point of view (Psalm 119:33-40; Col. 3:1-4). It is absolutely astounding to me how many today call themselves "Christians" and are willingly ignorant and oblivious of the simplicity of the Bible teaching and of our hour (Rom. 1:18-32; 2 Tim. 3:5-8, 2 Peter 3:3-7)! The key in all of this is to fully believe and be persuaded that Almighty God has meant what He said and says what He means (John 17:17; Heb. 11:6). The Rapture of the Church, the Day of the Lord, and the Kingdom of Heaven are indeed at hand and that has been His promise to all in their dispensations since the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:14-20; 12:1-3; Isa. 2:1-5; 11; Ezek. 40-48; Dan.2:44-45; 7:13-14;22; 12; Mic. 4:1-3; Zech. 14; Matt. 6:10; Matt. 24-25 Luke 4:43; 11:22; Acts 1:6-12; Jude 1:14-15; Rev. 19:11-21; 20:1-6).
It is absolutely astounding to me how many today call themselves "Christians" and are willingly ignorant and oblivious of the simplicity of the Bible teaching and of our hour! The key in all of this is to fully believe and be persuaded that Almighty God has meant what He said and says what He means!
Conditions and settings were so horrifically bad and so EXPONENTIALLY deteriorating before the Genesis flood that Almighty God could not overlook such purposed evil (Gen. 6)! ALL of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS solutions, remedies, and Personal interventions were absolutely rejected and met with violent opposition (Gen. 6-7; Isa. 54:9; Matt. Heb. 11:6-7; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; 3:4-10)! The only thing left to do in Almighty God's grace was to give the inhabitants of the world of that day one hundred and twenty years to repent before He would judge the entire world with a global flood and bring these wicked men and women into His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment (Heb. 9:27)! The man He raised up was Noah! Just look at how our world has EXPONENTIALLY changed in the last one hundred and twenty years here in America and in this world (1900 to 2020)! It has been SUPER EXPONENTIAL!
Image if you will; for one hundred and twenty years Noah watch the world of that day absolutely and EXPONENTIAL deteriorate before his eyes; where the world's inhabitants became harder, colder, more violent, more base, more defiant! Each day he was faithful to Almighty God and totally believed His Word!
Noah in his ministry was a preacher of RIGHTEOUSNESS to an EXPONENTIALLY unrighteous world (Matt. 24:37-42; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5)! He was instructed to build an ark for all who desire to escape that coming day of the Lord and flood for that dispensation! Image if you will; for one hundred and twenty years Noah watch the world of that day absolutely and EXPONENTIAL deteriorate before his eyes; where the world's inhabitants became harder, colder, more violent, more base, more defiant (Gen. 6)! Each day he was faithful to Almighty God and totally believed His Word (1 Peter 3:20)! The more Noah warned the evil world of that day the more they mocked, the more he sought to help the world of that day see, the more he was rejected, hated, and despised (Heb. 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20)!
As they got worse they became EXPONENTIALLY worse! The more they lusted after, the more they coveted, the more they sought after, the more violent, wicked, and base they became in their imaginations and vanities; until they were completely sold out to evil imaginations and delusions which can NEVER save or redeem! The more they sought to control the consequences and effects of their evil EXPONENTIAL lawless ways, the more tyrannical, violent, and base they became!
There was absolutely no room in their unregenerate hearts for repentance (Gen. 6; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5)! As they got worse they became EXPONENTIALLY worse (Gen. 6)! The more they lusted after, the more they coveted, the more they sought after, the more violent, wicked, and base they became in their imaginations and vanities; until they were completely sold out to evil imaginations and delusions which can NEVER save or redeem (Isa. 5:20; John 3:19-21; Rom. 18:32; Gal. 5:19-21)! The more they sought to control the consequences and effects of their evil EXPONENTIAL lawless ways, the more tyrannical, violent, and base they became (Rom. 1:18-32; Gal. 5:19-21; Jude 1:10-19)! Beloved, it is really just this simple you know; when our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator is driven out and removed from the throne of our hearts, there isn't enough depravity you can find or invent to fill your ETERNAL void, just ask Solomon (Eccl. 1:1-12). We were designed by our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator to house Him and to ETERNALLY enjoy Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER (Gen. 1:1-3; Rev. 22:1-5)! However, when unregenerate mankind seeks to dethrone our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and follow after Satan, lawlessness, error, unrighteousness, and delusion; no wonder our six thousand years of human history is filled with EXPONENTIAL oppression, tyranny, slavery, violence, war, death, etc (Psalm 14; Eccl. 1-12; Rom. 1:18-32; 3; James 4:1-5; Jude 1:6-19; Rev. 9:20-21)! Beloved, is our nation and world any different today than the pre-flood world of Noah? Our nation today has EXPONENTIALLY changed and morphed into a hyper moral relativistic world of EXPONENTIAL evil imaginations where RIGHTEOUSNESS, justice, and godliness are absolutely despised just as the last days of Noah were!
Beloved, is our nation and world any different today than the pre-flood world of Noah? Our nation today has EXPONENTIALLY changed and morphed into a hyper moral relativistic world of EXPONENTIAL evil imaginations where RIGHTEOUSNESS, justice, and godliness are absolutely despised just as the last days of Noah were! EXPONENTIAL growth in depravity, godlessness, lawlessness, violence, licentiousness, immorality has filled this land and is now the law and of this land! Oh, FOOLS and BLIND!
We are as a nation at present like the Twin Towers of 9/11 on fire with no hope of saving! The Day of the Lord is at hand and if you cannot see it it is because you refuse to see it!
Do you really believe that if Donald Trump is declared president on January 6th that he can stop this EXPONENTIAL Genisis flood of lawlessness which is flooding, saturating, and EXPONENTIALLY eroding our nation as we now speak! Follow how the demonic evil godless reprobates of the Left have indeed won the day! We are as a nation at present like the Twin Towers of 9/11 on fire with no hope of saving! The Day of the Lord is at hand and if you cannot see it it is because you refuse to see it (Matt. 24:36-43; John 3:19-21)! Dear friend, will you have an ear to hear, or will you continue to deceive yourself as those of Noah's day did until judgment the flood came and took them away into ETERNAL perdition and judgment!
Many of us have been called of God to be His watchmen for America and all that we have said over the last fifteen years - in light of our nation's EXPONENTIAL godless immoral apostasy has come to be as the Lord has shown us! Dear friend, will you have an ear to hear, or will you continue to deceive yourself as those of Noah's day did until judgment the flood came and took them away into ETERNAL perdition and judgment (John 3:16-21; 36; 2 Thess. 2:10; Rev. 20:10-15)! Indeed my friends, the Day of the Lord is at hand, and all the signs and witnesses of the Days of Noah testify against us that this Day is even at the door! Once the restraint of the Holy Spirit in believers is removed at the Rapture and America is removed from this world's EXPONENTIAL stage what then? Think about that my friends if you have the courage to (Matt. 24, 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-5, Rev. 6-19)! Dear friend, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior, the Ark of Noah for our Day? If not, please consider now and hear the Spirit's voice (Rev. 22:17-20)!
The Kingdom of God is indeed at Hand!
um- the days of Noah were a lot worse than what we’re in now- The whole world was corrupt then, raping, murdering at will- We are still controlled mostly by laws here in the states at least- there was no law back then- Everyone did whatever they wanted outwith worry of the law-
Are we getting closer to the man of lawlessness being unleashed? Yep- no doubt- but we have a long long way to go before we get to the outright lawlessness that was rampant in Noah’s day- or of the horrid times that Early Christians faced at the hands of romans who threw them to wild animals, burned them live, boiled them alive, roasted them alive- skinned them for sport- etc-
we aint there yet- But when Babylon rise up again- Actual demons will roam the4 streets in view of everyone and noone will bat an eye about it- practically- things will be so bad, and so lawless in that day-
We still have millions and millions of God fearing people i n this country- God’s remnants- in Noah’s day there were only a few-
If you believe the vote totals which say Biden won by 80 million votes, then you must conclude that America is over.
If however you believe that America chose Trump by a margin greater than 80 million votes, then you CANNOT conclude that the majority of Americans are corrupt and immoral.
Unless of course you believe Trump is the devil.
I want to be aware and proactive of “things.”

Now I want my “Big Print”
Bible and Rice Pudding.

“Things” could be heading
South But the Lord has seen
to bring me Here,Now.
God Bless.
Just wait. It won’t be long.
2 You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female;.”
In the same conversation He said in verse 4, For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”
Then verse 7 says that Then Noah and his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.
and verse 10 says, Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
During that seven days all the remaining animals came to Noah and entered the ark. Noah and his family were on board and animals kept coming in,
but it wasn’t raining yet and so although any humans who chose to could have entered also none did.
At the end of the seven days, when the rains came, the Lord shut the doors signifying that the time for coming on board to escape the judgment had expired, and no further entry into the ark would be allowed.
The fates of both those sealed inside and those who had refused to enter had been determined.
Jesus said it would be just this way at the end of the age.
For the last seven years before His return the door to salvation will remain open to any who choose to accept it, even though the Church will have already come in.
But on the day of his return the door will be closed and the fates of both those who came in and those who refused will have been sealed.
As it was in the days of Noah so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
ping for later
“He was instructed to build an ark for all who desire to escape that coming day of the Lord and flood for that dispensation!”
I don’t recall where God instructed Noah to offer a ride to folks other than his family.
Also, just friendly constructive criticism... the heavy usage of CAPS and the repeated and technically questionable usage of the word ‘EXPONENTIAL’ is not helping make your otherwise mostly-valid point.
I personally don’t believe in a rapture in the sense I think you mean it. But certainly Jesus foretold His return and taught us to repent, watch and prepare. And certainly there have been signs in our generation.
The significant aspect of the Lord’s reference to the days of Noah was that most people were surprised by the foretold judgment-related event. More than it being a reference to any real specific level of generally bad behavior triggering the event.
Depending on interpretation, God’s wrath was also motivated by the bloodline impurity due to the mixing at the time and prior of sons of God with daughters of men.
Regardless the mix of underlying reasons... If we are to believe God that basically everybody in Noah’s day was bad - except Noah, then...
We are nowhere near that level of bad today. There are millions of saved Christians walking about in the US alone. And more elsewhere. Of course, we do watch and recognize that folks in general, Christians included, are being increasingly conditioned to accept and participate in the types and levels of deception we are foretold to expect.
Whatever we interpret the time to be today, we know it is a necessary day to repent, a great day to teach, a joyous day to be saved.
First Enoch was taken alive from earth and the Holy Spirit was withdrawn.
Then in Gen. 6:5 man’s behavior is described as having become unbearably wicked
and in Gen. 7 the judgment came, in that order.
Enoch’s name means teaching and according to Jude 14-15 he gave the first prophecy of the 2nd coming.
Hebrew tradition holds that he was born on the 6th day of Sivan on the Hebrew calendar and was taken by God on his birthday.
The 6th of Sivan is the day we know as Pentecost, the birthday of the Church.
For these reasons Enoch is often seen as a model or type of the church, whose calling is also to teach the world the ways of the Lord and to talk about His coming.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NASB)
13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 (NASB) For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed.
Matthew 24:37 (NASB) For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and forever. Amen.
The Goods News,
Absolutely Brother!

and then,
EXPONENTIAL JUDGEMENT
for the unsaved.
.
(sorry,I have a reputation)
Only evil all the time.
I go.
Well, that’s me...So I’ll take it.
I will believe Jesus.
He is the one that he said he was.
We can with certainty know if Trump doesn’t get 4 more years we will go from bad to worse as evil is progressive.
God said he would send deception so that they will believe the lie.......It is easy for the generations without Christ to fall in line then as it is now.
“...easy for the generations without Christ to fall in line ...”
Yes. As well, many Christians are and will increasingly be deceived. Fear is an element of nature and not an attribute of faith. Our nature allows folks to obsess over watching and preparation for Hollywood style physical disasters / events while failing to recognize the flood of lies and famine for truth.
Yeah, I totally agree. They are totally vicious with him in office and without that restraint what then? That is pretty much what we are trying to say. Evil is progressing EXPONENTIALLY and so is our decline.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
How insane is that my friend! What then if all thoughts are evil 24/7
Five key places that this is found I believe in the Bible;
Genesis flood, the tower of Babel, the captivity of Israel in 586BC, the Crucifixion of Jesus, and the coming 666 revolution.
Great verses and points!
What is amazing is that the Lord gave Enoch a vision of the 2nd coming of the seed of the woman! The Bible is absolutely fascinating and full of TRUTH and LIFE!
Keep on Keep’n on!
BB, thanks for sharing your perspective and feedback. We may disagree but this is a forum and I like everyone’s perspective and feedback even if I disagree with some of it.
I agree we are not as evil as we can be yet... that will come under 666.... but we are pretty dang evil as a nation speaking of our Isa. 5:20 American world view.
BRB, that’s it son, this is our shining time for Jesus and our day. The just shall live by faith!
