THE DAYS OF NOAH

- 6 minutes read - 1183 wordsGenesis 6:9 NKJV
This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Jesus said His return will be similar to the days of Noah. People will be busy with their own lives and pay no attention to their spiritual lives. Noah was the only righteous person and therefore he and his immediate family was saved from the flood. We know giants (nephilim/hybrids/men of renown/mighty ones) were on earth in those days. They were the offspring of fallen angels/watchers and women. The earth was full of wickedness, evil and violence. Even the animals were compromised; suddenly there were clean and unclean animals. Noah was possibly the only one still pure in his genetics and he walked with God.
When God asked Noah to build an ark he was obedient. Noah was surrounded by evil, but he focused on his calling to build the ark. As things are becoming rough on earth we should focus on our calling ie building God’s kingdom. The Old Testament and old covenant promised protection when you are obedient - Deuteronomy 28. The New Testament and covenant encourages us to pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Most of the apostles lost their lives while being obedient to their calling and their Heavenly Father. Jesus sent the 12 and later the 70 out as sheep amongst wolves; implying that it might be dangerous to be a witness. There is an increase in Christian persecution and it is becoming more difficult to stand for biblical truth.
The flood started when Noah was 600 years old - Genesis 6-7. The general belief is that humans will be on earth for 6000 years - 120 Jubilees. Six days we will work and on the seventh day we will rest during the 1000 year Messianic reign. Seven days after Noah entered the ark it started to rain; this can be an indication of Christians being protected during the 7 years of the tribulation. It took a long time to build the ark. It takes a long time to build God’s Kingdom. I don’t believe there is an accurate calender to determine when Jesus will fetch us and the tribulation will start. I even have my doubts if it is possible to determine the exact dates of the biblical feasts, even though I believe that Jesus will return during Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year/ Feast of trumpets) with the last trumpet.
Things to watch out for
- Don’t be so busy with your physical life that you forget about God and your spiritual life.
- Hybrids - animals and or AI mixed with humans - will appear, probably marketed as scientific breakthrough for your benefit.
- An increase in natural disasters and war.
- Israel - the fig tree - pray for the peace of Jerusalem - Psalms 122:6.
- Don’t be deceived by false annointed ones or a false messiah.
The days of Noah won’t be easy. I believe we won’t go through the tribulation, but we will go through the “days of Noah”. Always be ready and keep yourself busy with Kingdom business.
Matthew 24:37-44 NKJV
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. [38] For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, [39] and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. [40] Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. [41] Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. [42] Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. [44] Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Genesis 6:4-8 NKJV
There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. [5] Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. [7] So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis 6:11-13 NKJV
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. [13] And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Daniel 2:42-44 NKJV
And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. [43] As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
Acts 20:24 NKJV
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. [25] For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. [26] For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? [27] For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
