Summary: Jesus painted a picture of what the world would look like, in the end time before His coming to establish His kingdom on the earth forever.
BEFORE THE FLOOD 1
The Trumpeter is a moment to prepare the saints for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, calling the Church back to the truth and the path of righteousness and warning the unbelieving world about the coming judgement. It is also the period we are looking at the world events and amazing facts of the last days, as already foretold in the Word of God. Some of the revelations you may see here may shock you.
LET US PRAY.
In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
We thank you Lord for this time in the hour of the trumpeter, to share in your word. Sanctify us with your word for your word is truth. Let there be understanding, knowledge and wisdom for my reader today and for the salvation of souls through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
The Subject is “ BEFORE THE FLOOD- PART 1”
“But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing”.
“ And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me: If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold”
Jesus painted a picture of what the world would look like, in the end time before His coming to establish His kingdom on the earth forever. This can be seen when you read the book of Matthew Chapter 24 and 25.
The problem of man is that he never learns from history. My friend, you should know that what had happened before in life may repeat again. There is no future without the past.
In Matthew Chapter 24 verses 36-44, Jesus made a clear comparison about His return with the world of Noah. He looked at the activities of the world then, to caution our generation today. He’s not against eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage but pointed out their carelessness and unpreparedness concerning the coming flood which was their judgement.
The world is after their activities and looking after the prophetic agenda of God was not their concern. God has his time-table and sees that His plans fulfill at His own time. When Christ came into this earth to save mankind, He passed many dictators, statesmen and political gurus of this world and revealed Himself to the watching shepherds at the field.
Likewise now, He is saying,
“Watch therefore; for you know not what hour your Lord comes”
What are the things seen in the world of Noah which are here with us? They also attracted the attention of the Master as a warning and lesson for this age.
