So as it was in the days of Noah shall it once again be, only the next time it will be a consuming fire and not a flood. Noah was mocked. Not one person on the earth listened to him and believed. They scoffed at the coming of God’s judgment against mankind. Rain? What was rain? Scripture tells us the ground was nourished from water bubbling up from under the ground. It had never come down from the sky before. Flood waters? This has never taken place in their world, but this is what God promised was coming. Once it began to rain the people panicked, wanting desperately to enter into the tremendous ark Noah had built, but alas, he had closed and sealed the mighty door and was not to open it again until the floodwaters had subsided and the land was dry again. The people’s unbelief was their eternal undoing.
Fast forward to today. There are millions of people who still scoff, ridicule and disbelieve the message God is sending out. There will come a day when the time for repentance will be gone forever. Time as we know it will be no more. A reckoning will take place where God will separate the wheat from the chafe. The warning signs are all around if you take the time to look. If you don’t believe in God’s existence you better be right. That is in no way a threat, but it is a promise. Sin cannot abide with the Almighty. Those who are still filthy with their own sin will have to bare the cost on their own with no hope of reprieve. God will not change his mind. Man has laughed off their need for forgiveness for too many years. The time will come and when it does it will come quickly. There will be no time to repent on that day. It is a fearsome thing to have to face God’s wrath. Nothing will stop it once it begins. Scripture tells us “no man knows the day or the hour”. This is why man must repent NOW and be ready for the 2ndComing of Christ. Don’t fritter your time away on trivial, meaningless endeavors. Surrender your life to the One who created you. rlkeller
