There Is an Ark and a Flood

Hi everyone,

When we read in Genesis about Noah and the flood, and why God had to send the flood, it seems like a story of old. But what surprises me is that many do not know that the story of Noah is happening all over again, but this time not with a literal flood.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:37-37, “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.” Do not be afraid when you hear things about the second coming of Jesus Christ, what we are to do is to take heed and be prepared.

The heart of man today is very hard, even more than the days of Christ, this is why we don’t see miracles happen as it did during the days of Christ, and why is that? The reason is that living the life of Christ is very scarce to the point that when a person performs a miracle, many do not believe. Scientists, ensure they find a flaw, as it does not corroborate with their thesis, even with the evidence in front of them. Those who believe are seen as fools or desperate people.

The world is so corrupt that we who are born into this generation do not know the intensity of the corruption because we met the world this way and we count it as normal. The Word of God is gradually seen as "old school" because it does not fall in line with the current happenings of today. But the truth is that it isn’t the Word of God that is "old school", it is the world that has drifted from the truth!

There is an ark and there is a flood. The ark today is Christ Jesus, while the flood is destruction. Just as Noah kept on telling those of his time to enter his ark for safety, likewise, the children of God are to go round the world, telling everyone to receive and live in Christ. Sadly, a lot of this has turned into a religious act. We are to come into a new life because the old life and this earth will pass away.

The old earth and its way of life would be destroyed, (ref.: Matthew 24:35; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1), and we are warned again and again and again. As 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

We are warned everyday just as everyone was warned in the days of Noah. When Jesus comes the second time, no one would be without the excuse of not hearing the gospel of repentance who were alive when He came.

Live each day as if it were your last in sense of getting prepared for His coming.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
