The people laughed at Noah the whole he was making the ark. They thought he was ridiculous.
Plus it had never ever rained up to that point. Can you imagine? They had never seen rain. So of course when he said, "It's going to rain for 40 days," they were like, "Yeah right!"
Before the flood, dew came up from the ground to water the earth because there was actually an ocean in the sky.
Gen. 1 says, "And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day."
"The water above it," meaning there was an ocean in the sky. What a mystery right!? I wonder what that looked like.
That is my theory on the dinosaurs, that after that ocean in the sky was gone as that was what provided the rain for 40 days and nights, the climate drastically changed. That was why the dinosaurs could not survive anymore, and they became extinct.
It was not that Noah forgot to put them on the ark lol.
Is mankind about to become extinct? Will we be able to survive what is to come?
God promised to not destroy the earth by water again, but he said nothing about fire.
In the end of time, the earth will be burned up. And no one will see it coming at all.
Rev. 8 says, "The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up."
On a radio show I listened to, the man said God was telling him, "You are trying to prepare people for the financial meltdown, but you need to prepare them to survive the fire!"
Paul says people will be saying "peace and safety" and destruction will come on them suddenly.
It's not going to be some gradual progression of things getting worse and worse.
The next prophecy to be fulfilled, I believe, is the 1st trumpet, in which one third of the earth will be burned up. Who knows when that will happen, but I think it will be soon, and I think we will not expect it at all.
I received this text from a friend who I think hears God's voice more then anyone I've ever met, "Two years ago or so, I heard the Lord say once a month or so, "TELL THEM." Then it went to weekly. Now I hear the desperate cry of God's heart EVERY day ALL day. So indeed something has changed!"
"Tell them" meaning tell them the good news before it is to late for everyone.
2 Peter 3 says, " The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
He has not come back yet, because he wants as many people to be saved as possible before the end.
2 Peter 3 also says:
" But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
I love the movie "Knowing," with Nicholas Cage, and I think that is a pretty accurate depiction of how it will be. The scene when the boys is looking out the window and everything is on fire is quite prophetic of what it will look like.
Apparently Billy Graham once said, "If God does not judge America he would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah." What happened in Sodom and Gomorrah? God destroyed that city by fire.
Las Vegas, New York, L.A.; these are all basically modern day Sodom and Gomorrah cities.
What was the reason God judged Sodom and Gamorrah?
Romans 1 describes the decline of society. I have been looking at this chapter for a long time and totally seeing the U.S. in it. The bottom of depravity that a nation can go to is as follows:
"Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
Starting with the theory of evolution we threw the idea that it was "worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God" out the window. We do not allow prayer in schools now or for teacher to even MENTION God in the class rooms. What is that doing to our society? What does that say about our society? We were founded as a Christian nation! My ,how far we have fallen!
It says, "God gave them over to a depraved mind." He gave up on them; he has given up on us. He is now allowing our public and society to think whatever they want. He had removed himself for the most part, except for the only remnant he left us of himself which I think is Hillsong! lol and Joyce Meyer. She's really speaking God's word all around our country still.
But otherwise, God is being silent. And that is NOT a good thing. You know in tornadoes how there is an eerie silence before the storm? That is what we are in now. God's silence. He is not saying anything right now, but believe me, He is about to!
What else does Romans 1 say? They have been filled with "greed..envy...deceit." Yes we have! They are "gossips... God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful...they disobey their parents." This is a perfect description for modern day America. Also, "They not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." We have legalized sin, gay marriage and abortion.
We have publicized that disobeying your parents is perfectly ok and acceptable via MTV. Music videos show that running after money, greed, sex is all perfectly ok.
The shows that are on TV now would never have passed the censorship board even 20 or 30 years ago.
So yes people have said many times in the past, "It's the end of the world!" And obviously it was not then cause we are still here, but it is now.
I feel even more strongly about all this because I myself have had many disturbing nightmares over the last 5 years that I huge tsunami was going to hit California. In my dream everyone is trying to run to higher ground to prevent from drowning. The dreams are terrifying, and I think in the back of my mind I have been asking God for a long time, "What did that dream mean? Was it prophetic or my own fears manifested in my dream? Was it simply from seeing a movie about a tsunami?"
And then just two days ago what happened in New York with Hurricane Sandy, and I was thinking, it's only a matter of time.
It does not have to be an actual tsunami that hits California or the states. The dream could be figurative and it could mean we will be destroyed by fire instead meaning via an atom bomb that I'm sure a middle eastern country would love to drop on us.
It is only a matter of time.
I texted a friend about my tsunami dreams and she said she knows SEVERAL people who have been having tsunami dreams lately.
What does this mean?
In the Bible God gave dreams to kings and prophets. The dreams always meant something.
Joel 2 says:
The Day of the Lord
28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream DREAMS,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved."
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream DREAMS,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved."
So please call on the name of the Lord, because it is only going to get worse from here.
Here is what Jesus and Paul say.
Mt. 24 "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."
Jesus will come suddenly.
1 Thess. 5 "Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."
"Peace and safety," we say that all the time. How could we possibly be in the last days because everything is so peaceful and safe right? Well, who knows. Time will tell.
God be with us all!
