Noah
Genesis 6:8-13 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord . These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. The scripture paints a picture of the days of Noah. We have found Grace in the sight of the Lord. We have salvation, yet we as Noah live in the most wicked of days. Ever wonder what Noah saw, I am sure, he beheld the evil around him and his family. Not in the degree of the modern day that we are experiencing with social media, the internet, and breaking news flashing before our eyes. The horrendous details of the wickedness of man. Certainly, the verses come alive when God declares to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. THANKS BE TO GOD THAT WE HAVE A BLOOD COVENANT WITH GOD. JESUS SAID "AS THE DAYS OF NOAH" to his disciples and to those who followed in His Day. Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. WE CAN REFERENCE THE SCRIPTURE TO INDICATE THE WICKEDNESS OF THE DAY OF NOAH, AS WELL, THE SUDDEN SHUTTING OF THE OPPORTUNITY OF SALVATION FROM DESTRUCTION. This is interesting because we in the latter days have to endure the hardness of the people. Their wickedness will increase exponential in the latter days. Deception with unrighteousness will increase in an exponential increase, as well. Sometimes, I wonder how can some people be so blind? I am sure I am not alone. How can people be so stubborn? CRYING IN MY SPIRIT, LORD I NEED YOUR GRACE. THAT DIVINE INFLUENCE TO CARRY ME. Noah was given a mandate of God, he had knowledge of the impending judgments of God, that were to come upon the earth. He also had knowledge of the Grace of God, Noah found Grace, he experienced this precious and wonderful Grace of God. NOAH WALKED WITH GOD. We are kinda in the same place as Noah. The Spirit has revealed the future judgments, but most important is that we have experienced the precious and wonderful grace of God and now we walk with God. We like Noah, see the ever present and increasing wickedness of man. WHAT DID NOAH DO?
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. DID NOAH PREACH THE SALVATION OF GOD? 1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
THE WITNESS OF THE BUILDING OF THE ARK WAS THE TESTIMONY AND WITNESS AS GOD WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THEM TO ENTER. I WOULD THINK THAT WE COULD SPECULATE, THAT NOAH PREACHED THE PURPOSE OF THE ARK. Well, the Lord has an ARK, a blessed opportunity for this most wicked world, ever increasing in wickedness. The Lord has an ARK, a salvation from the deception of the world. Yes, we will have to endure the hardness of the people of our day, drawing the needed Grace from the Lord. WE CAN DRAW NEAR TO THE THRONE OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST TO OBTAIN THE GRACE THAT WE NEED. We are living the latter day, the days are as the days of Noah. 2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Through the PROPHETIC, I AM LOOKING FOR SEVEN GOOD YEARS, LOOKING FOR REVIVAL, LOOKING FOR RESTORATION AND A GREATER GLORY. BE BLESSED!
