LUKE 17:26-27 "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."

Scripture teaches us that God has destroyed the world twice by water, and the above scripture, clearly shows the worldly living conditions that existed just prior to the sudden coming of the flood of Noah's time. That flood destroyed the entire world: except the family of Noah. We could accurately say it destroyed all the people who were not prepared for it's coming. And now, God has forewarned the world will be destroyed again, and it will be by fire. This should cause all of us today to think about the living conditions of our world. Can you see a vivid comparison of living conditions today that might again anger God enough to let this third destruction suddenly come upon us? How many do you think will be prepared to escape it; if it happens?

If you read the 6th Chapter of Genesis, you will find Satan had the power to cause human women to marry the Sons of God and a mixed blood of people known as Giants were born. They are described as men of renown; and Satan's purpose was to use them to prevent the coming of a Redeemer and Savior for the true blood line of God's people. God did not permit Satan's scheme to succeed and He caused His only begotten Son, Jesus to be born, suffer the crucifixion, resurrection and be redeemer for the true blood line of HIS people. This may surprise you, but it is easy to understand if you read and study it. And we must know Satan did not stop there. He then raised up a counterfeit church in an effort to prevent God's people from knowing and accepting Christ as their Savior. (BEWARE): That church is very active and growing strongly in our world today. They are terrorists in our midst; and are the false angels of Satan; and multiplying at an alarming rate. It has to be noted that far too many women of God's Christian society do not choose to marry; be supportive wives and mothers according to God's plan for them. Too many of them want careers and too often abort their babies if they become pregnant. Consequently, Satan's plans for his people and their future is developing more rapidly than God's desire. That should cause us to know Christ's warning in Matthew 14:21-22 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved." This will definitely happen just prior to Satan's permitted short rein as anti-christ to cause the greatly feared tribulation. There will be no escape for worldly people.

Television has recently shown what happened at what we know as 9-11. It was horrible and thousands lost their lives. There was no escape and many chose to jump out of tall buildings to a sudden death and prevent being burned to death in raging fires. But those disastrous scenes will be no more than a drop in a bucket compared to what will happen when the anti-christ causes the prophesy Jesus warned in that scene of Matthew's Gospel. A lot of good honest Christians died in those events of 9-11. The same will be true in the event's of Satan's tribulation war against the saints. There will be no rapture to save them. I ask you to again look at the Godless living of today's people and realize Christ's prophesy could come upon us at any hour. Prepare for it now by putting your trust in God. It will certainly come and be the worst thing the world will ever see; but it can be postponed if enough people turn back to God.
