The Days of Noah Have Emerged: What Does This Presage?
When we talk about mankind in the time of Noah, everyone knows that murder and arson, robbing and stealing, and promiscuity had become second nature to the people of that time. They shunned God and did not heed God’s words, and in the end God destroyed them with a great flood. Then we look at the people of today’s world: They revere evil, and one can see such places as karaoke bars, foot massage parlors, taverns and dance clubs on streets and alleys in every city; people eat, drink and make merry, indulging in the pleasures of the flesh; most people vie with each other for fame, gain, and status, fighting each other, scheming against each other, and cheating one another, friends and relatives being no exception. People are all sick of the truth, they are in love with injustice, and live in sin; no one takes the initiative to seek the truth or seek the true way, and they even openly deny and resist God. All of mankind lives under the domain of Satan, and even those who believe in the Lord debase themselves to follow worldly trends. They covet sinful pleasures, always living in a cycle of sinning and then confessing, and they do not put the Lord’s teachings into practice though they know them well. Such scenes cannot help but bring to mind the prophecy made by the Lord Jesus two thousand years ago: “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. … Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:26–30). We can see from this prophecy that when the people of the last days become as corrupt and wicked as the people of the time of Noah, the Lord will come again. But in what way will the Lord appear? And how should we greet Him?
