Noah was called to preach repentence toward GOD to all the people he lived around for decades....
They had plenty of warning and had ANY of them repented of their evil and sin and trusted GOD as Noah and his entre family had, they also would have been spared.. But it was not just the people who lived around and near Noah. The BIble clerly states that GOD looked upon all the people of the earth and there was found NONE that had trusted in HIM and all they did was evil daily...
Sounds a lot like the day and times we live in.. There are few today who are led by the Holy Spirit and live in peace with GOD. You can tell by the words and actions of people, listen to their speech patterns and discover that at no time do they ever stop to actually praise HIM, except when a t.v. camera is on them. Their deeds and actions are what GOD sees and HE alone knows their inner hearts. One cannot do what many are doing and proposing exceopt evil resides in them..
Just like in the days of Noah..
DARKNESS does not like LIGHT. AWhen you turn on a light, rats, bugs, other things scurry away to cover to hide... So are sinful people who are at ENMITY with God.. HIS LIGHT exposes the darkness and there are many pretenders who give lip service to having some kind of relationship with HIM but their words, deeds, actions demonstrate that it is all a lie..
God KNOWS who has given their heart to HIM.. Their names are recorded in several BOOKS in Heaven.. If they are not found in the Books of LIFE AND The Lamb's Book of life, they are not one of HIS own.. And they will be left behind when the rapture takes place. WHEN, not "IF".
I beg everyone to make sure that you and your loved ones are not left behind.. It will be awful and eternity will be beyond horror...DO NOT MISS Heaven because of pride and unbelief....
