Taken or Left? A Lesson from the Days of Noah

Text: Matthew 24:37-41, Luke 17:26-37

Jesus said, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Many believers have spent years studying these words, and there is much to consider. In Noah's day, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and carrying on with life. They heard Noah's warnings, yet they continued in their own ways. Then the flood came suddenly.

An interesting question arises from the text: Who was taken?

When the flood came, Noah and his family were preserved. The ones who were taken away were those who rejected God's warning. They mocked righteousness, ignored God's call, and continued in disobedience until judgment arrived.

Jesus then says in Luke:

"Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

The disciples asked Him, "Where, Lord?"

Jesus answered:

"Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."

This answer causes us to pause and think. The image presented is not one of celebration, but of judgment. It reminds us that spiritual death follows rebellion against God. As Scripture says:

"The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
— Romans 6:23

The Bible also teaches:

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins."
— Ephesians 2:1

Notice that before Christ saves us, we are described as spiritually dead. A person may be physically alive, breathing, working, and enjoying life, yet still be separated from God.

The days of Noah were not merely about violence and corruption. They were about people refusing God's warning. Noah preached righteousness for many years, yet few listened.

The same warning exists today.

Many people know what God's Word says. They know they should forgive. They know they should repent. They know they should love God and love their neighbor. Yet they continue to walk in disobedience, assuming there will always be more time.

But Jesus warns us that judgment can come suddenly.

The answer is not fear. The answer is obedience.

Jesus said:

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
— John 14:15

And again:

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you."
— John 13:34

The goal of the Christian life is not merely to avoid judgment. The goal is to know Christ, walk with Him, and allow His love to transform our hearts.

Whether one studies these passages and concludes that the wicked are taken in judgment or that the righteous are gathered to Christ, the central message remains the same:

Get right with God.

Repent while there is time.

Do not harden your heart.

Do not treat God's grace lightly.

Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Walk in obedience to Christ.

For just as the door of Noah's ark did not remain open forever, neither will the opportunity to respond to God's call last forever.

Today is the day to follow Jesus.

Live Like an Armenian, Pray the Baptist are right.

It sounds like I'm making a joke, but it is no joke, not really, this is a good way to believe in Christ and live in Christ.

Isaiah 1:18*
_“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”_


_I live like an Armenian — humble, worshipful, ready to endure, because discipleship is a cross.
I pray like the Baptist — that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, because ‘who He is’ is enough._

Ever had someone ask “what do you believe” and your answer sounds like a joke, but it’s the most serious thing you own?

Here’s mine: _I live like an Armenian and pray the Baptist are right.

That’s not a punchline. That’s Isaiah 1:18 lived out. God says “Come” — that’s my responsibility. God says “I’ll make you white” — that’s His grace. One verse, two truths. Live like it costs you. Pray like it cost Him.
“I LIVE LIKE AN ARMENIAN” — Come now… though your sins be as scarlet*
*A. Humble*
The Armenian people were the first Christian nation. 1700 years of singing liturgy while empires tried to erase them. No swagger. Just survival by worship.
Isaiah 1 starts with “your hands are full of blood” verse 15. God’s not impressed with our religion. The first move is low: _Come_. Bring the scarlet. Don’t hide it.

*B. Worshipful*
_Halak_ לְכוּ־נָא – “walk here.” Worship is movement toward God, not performance for Him. The Armenians didn’t stop the Badarak when the genocide came. They sang “Christ is risen” at the grave. Worship isn’t what you do when life is good. It’s what you do when it’s scarlet.

*C. Ready to endure, because discipleship is a cross*
Jesus didn’t say “take up your creed.” He said “take up your cross” Luke 9:23.
Psalm 22:6 – _tōla‘aṯ_ תּוֹלַעַת “I am a worm.” The crimson worm was crushed on wood to make dye. Christ fixed Himself to wood and was crushed for our crimson.
To live like an Armenian is to know: following _Him_ might cost you. But _who He is_ makes it worth it.

*Application:* Where are you pretending you’re not scarlet? Where are you avoiding the cross because you want Christianity without cost? _Come now._ That’s the Armenian part.

“I PRAY LIKE THE BAPTIST” — They shall be as white as snow… saith the Lord*
*A. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone*
Notice the verbs: _they shall be made white_ יַלְבִּינוּ. Hiphil – God does it. You don’t bleach scarlet. You bring it.
Ephesians 2:8-9 is Isaiah 1:18 in New Testament words: “By grace you have been saved through faith… not your own doing.”

*B. Because ‘who He is’ is enough*
We spent centuries arguing _what_ Jesus is: natures, wills, substance. The thief on the cross didn’t have that. He had _who_: “Jesus, remember me.” Luke 23:42
The altar call is right when it says: stop trusting the _what_ of your theology and start trusting the _who_ of your Savior.

The _tōla‘aṯ_ dies, turns white after 3 days, and flakes off the tree. Christ died, rose after 3 days, and our scarlet flaked off with Him. Revelation 7:14 – “they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

*Application:* Where are you trying to add to ‘white as snow’? Penance, performance, perfection. Stop. Pray like the Baptist: “Lord, if You don’t do it, it doesn’t get done.”

“LET US REASON TOGETHER” — The Lord is Talking*
*וְנִוָּכְחָה* _niwwā-ḵə-ḥāh_ – courtroom term. God lays out the case:
1. You’re guilty. Scarlet. Crimson.
2. I’m holy. I should judge.
3. But I’m also the _tōla‘aṯ_. I’ll be crushed so you can be snow.

That’s not _what_ He is. That’s _who_ He is. A reasoning, inviting, self-sacrificing Lord.

You don’t balance these truths. You hold them. You live like it’s serious. You pray like it’s settled.

Your Creed at the Table*
So what do you believe?

_I live like an Armenian — humble, worshipful, ready to endure, because discipleship is a cross.
I pray like the Baptist — that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, because ‘who He is’ is enough._

The Lord’s Table is where Armenians and Baptists meet. The ancient, bloody, enduring faith… and the simple, childlike, “nothing in my hand I bring.”

So come. Bring your scarlet.
He’ll do the snow.
_Saith the Lord._

_For people who want to know Christ more intimately_

I told you earlier what I believe:
_I live like an Armenian — humble, worshipful, ready to endure, because discipleship is a cross.
I pray like the Baptist — that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, because ‘who He is’ is enough._

That creed isn’t just for getting saved. It’s for knowing Him.

*So here’s my question: Do you know Him?*
Not _about_ Him. Not _what_ He is. But _Him_.

Isaiah 1:18 doesn’t end with “and now you’re clean, go home.” It starts with “Come now, and let us reason together, _saith the Lord_.” The point was never just white robes. The point was the conversation. The relationship.

Some of you are saved, but you’re distant. You’ve got snow, but you lost the sound of His voice. You’re living like the Baptist — you know you’re secure — but you forgot how to live like the Armenian — humble, worshipful, enduring _with Him_.

Others of you are enduring. You’re carrying your cross. But you’re doing it alone, like He’s just a doctrine. You forgot how to pray like the Baptist — like _who He is_ is enough, right now, to hold you.

*Psalm 22:6 says “I am a worm.”* The _tōla‘aṯ_. He was crushed on wood so you wouldn’t have to climb the mountain to find Him. He came down.

So if you want to know Christ more intimately, this is your moment. Not to get saved again. Not to prove anything. Just to _come_.

If that’s you — if you’re saying, “Lord, I’ve got the theology, I’ve got the scarlet turned to snow, but I want _You_… I want to know Your voice again… I want the Armenian endurance _and_ the Baptist peace in the same heart” — then stand where you are.

Just stand. That’s the _halak_ לְכוּ. That’s “come.” It’s movement.

If you’re standing, you’re saying two things:
1. *I live like an Armenian* – I’m not above kneeling. I’m not too proud to need Him today. I’ll take up my cross again.
2. *I pray like the Baptist* – And I’m not coming to earn anything. I’m coming because _who He is_ is enough to meet me right here.

*Prayer:*
_Lord Jesus, You are the One who said “Come.” So we came.
For my brothers and sisters standing: they don’t want more religion. They want You.
You are the Lord who reasons with us instead of rejecting us.
Make Yourself known. Not as a doctrine. As a Person.
Give us Armenian hearts — humble, worshipful, ready to endure.
Give us Baptist faith — resting in Your grace, because You are enough.
We don’t want the gifts without the Giver. We want You.
In Your name, Amen._

If you stood, get alone with Him for a minute. No counselor, no card, no line. Just you and Jesus

Isaiah 1:18 is still open. “Come now… saith the Lord.”

The Lord’s here. Talk to Him.

Title: “Stay in the Secret Place—Not the Strange Fire”
Opening Scripture:
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet… and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” — Matthew 6:6
1. The Secret Place Is About Relationship, Not Revelation-Chasing
Jesus didn’t tell us to go into the closet to:
travel to other realms
seek visions
or chase experiences
He told us to go there to meet the Father.
There is a difference between:
seeking God
and seeking supernatural experiences
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
God promises His presence… not a spectacle.
2. Not Every Spiritual Experience Is From God
We live in a time where people are hungry for the supernatural—but not always grounded in truth.
The Bible gives a clear warning:
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.” — 1 John 4:1
And even more serious:
“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
That means:
Not everything that looks holy is holy
Not everything that feels spiritual is from God
Discernment is not optional—it’s necessary.
3. God Never Told Us to Leave Our Bodies or Enter Realms at Will
Practices like astral projection, spirit travel, or entering realms by method or technique are not found in the teachings of Christ or the apostles.
Instead, Scripture warns us plainly:
“There shall not be found among you… a sorcerer… or a consulter with familiar spirits…” — Deuteronomy 18:10–12
These practices fall under:
sorcery
forbidden spiritual access
opening doors God told us to keep shut
As believers, we don’t reach into the spiritual realm—
we submit to God and let Him lead.
4. Even True Visions in Scripture Were God-Initiated, Not Man-Controlled
When God gave visions:
Isaiah didn’t plan it
Ezekiel didn’t summon it
John didn’t schedule it
And Paul said:
“Whether in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth.” — 2 Corinthians 12:3
There was humility, uncertainty, and no method taught.
Today, when people say:
“You can do this too”
“Just go into prayer and enter the throne room”
That should raise a red flag.
5. The Danger of Modernized Religion
Modernized religion often replaces:
truth with experience
Scripture with sensation
humility with spiritual pride
It becomes less about:
repentance
obedience
holiness
And more about:
encounters
visions
personal revelations
But Jesus warned us:
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord… and then will I profess unto them, I never knew you.” — Matthew 7:22–23
It’s not about what we experience—
it’s about who we truly know and obey.
6. How Should Christians Respond?
Not with fear.
Not with anger.
But with truth and discernment.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7
We should:
Stay rooted in Scripture
Avoid practices God forbids
Warn others in love
Keep our focus on Christ—not experiences
Closing
The prayer closet is not a doorway to strange realms—
it is a place of surrender.
It is not where we go to be lifted into visions—
it is where we go to be brought low before God.
“God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” — James 4:6
Stay in the secret place.
Stay in the Word.
Stay with Jesus.
And don’t trade the truth of God
for something that only looks like light.

The Stones That Shine
Text: Acts 4:13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and
ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
The world has a way of deciding what is valuable. It looks for polish, for perfection, for education,
for money, for status. The world loves diamonds. It loves what shines the brightest, what looks the
cleanest, what appears flawless.
But God does not choose the way the world chooses.
The Bible says that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. When
Peter and John stood before the leaders, they were not educated men. They were not trained
scholars. They had no titles to stand on. Yet they spoke with boldness, with authority, with
something those leaders could not understand.
And the only conclusion they could come to was this: these men had been with Jesus.
That is where the power came from.
Not from education. Not from position. But from being with Christ.
Now when we look at heaven, the Bible describes something interesting. It tells us that the
foundations of heaven are lined with stones—jasper, sapphire, emerald, amethyst. Not just gold,
not just the things we consider the most valuable, but a variety of stones, each different, each
unique.
These stones are not all flawless. They are formed under pressure. They carry marks of time. They
have depth, color, and character.
We can take something perfected by man. We can take a diamond, cut it, polish it, shape it until it
shines just right. And the world will look at it and say, “That’s beautiful.”
But as for me, I would rather choose something perfected by God.
Not something shaped by human hands, but someone carried by God through fire, through
pressure, through broken places.
Because a diamond shines one way—clean, controlled, predictable.
But these stones God speaks of, they shine in many directions. They carry color, they carry depth, I will take the one who has been through it all. The one who has been knocked down and got back
up. The one who has cried real tears and still held on. The one who walked through fire and did not
quit.
Because when God is finished with them, they do not just shine—they shine in ways a diamond
never could.
Those stones represent people. They represent the broken, the forgotten, the overlooked. The ones
who fought through hardship and still stand.
You are not worthless. You are not forgotten. You are a living stone in what God is building.
God is not building His kingdom with diamonds the world admires. He is building it with stones the
world stepped on.
You can keep your diamonds, perfected by man. I will take the stones, perfected by God.
You are not what you have been through.
You are what God is building.
