Understanding the Times We Live in Part 3

Understanding the times we live in Part 3

The Days of Noah

Jesus said this about the days and times of Noah, ”As was in Days of Noah. So shall it be end of Age”.

Luke 17:26

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Jesus contrasts the days of Noah to this day

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.

Enoch saw something coming upon the earth which caused a change in His relationship with God. The bible tells us that after Methuselah Enoch’s son was born, Enoch began to walk with the Lord, why was this? Enoch saw a great disaster coming upon the earth he also saw all the way through to the second coming of Jesus, 

Jude 1:14	And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15	To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Enoch was given insight into what was coming; he also had the timing of at least one of these events, namely the flood. He named his son Methuselah, now the meaning of this name is interesting.

The Name Methusael is found in Genesis 4:18 and means death or the grave The Name Methuselah is derivative of the Name Methusael however the name Methuselah has an added meaning which is “man of the dart or arrow” In the book of Enoch we have recorded regarding Enoch’s son this statement, “when the arrow falls to the ground it will come. Enoch was referring to the death of His son Methuselah. When Methuselah dies the flood will come.  When Enoch was sixty five years old Methuselah was born (Genesis 5:25) and Methuselah live for nine hundred and sixty nine years. The bible tells us that Noah was six hundred years of age when the flood came (Genesis 7:6) which was the year that Methuselah died, the arrow fell to the ground. So we see that Enoch saw the flood coming and began to walk with God. Often it seems we need to be motivated in order the walk seriously with God, and if we are not motivated to walk with God by the days we now living in, something is wrong. As it was in the days of Noah, this prophesy is now being fulfilled our present time.

Complacency was the issue

Matthew 24:38	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,
39	And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The people continued on as if it was business as usual, they believed their world would continue as it always had, their attitude proved to be fatal. It is no different in the church today. God is saying prepare an ark treacherous times are on our doorstep. It is interesting that Noah only had 7 days Notice that the rain was coming (Genesis 7:4). We have a very short time now before the rain comes. First the latter rain will be poured out upon the earth; this is a spiritual rain that will bring in the end-time harvest then the rain of Judgment will fall. The way now is being prepared for the rise of the Anti-Christ, the world we live is changing very quickly it is time to build an ark an ark of safety. Like Enoch we need to begin to walk with God like never before, we must find our way into the secret place of the Most High abiding under the shadow of the almighty. We need to be able to know and discern the voice of the Lord and to obey His voice; part of our preparation is to insure that we can hear His voice. Lot escaped the judgment of Sodom because he heeded the warning. His wife who was so attached to the culture of the city hesitated and died. We need to get out of debt and so arrange our lives that we can become flexible moving in God at anytime.

Noah prepared before it happened

Hebrews 4:7

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Great devastating economic problems will be sweeping the Nation in waves, we have just began to experience this, many countries and societies will begin to collapse and like the passengers on the Titanic people will scramble to higher parts of the ship BUT WHOLE SHIP WILL GO DOWN

Build your life upon a rock

Matthew 7:24	Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25	And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26	And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27	And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great

Just recently on February 17^th 2009 the G7 Nations signed over their national sovereignty to The New World Order in Denver with America at the lead.
On April 2nd in London the balance of the G20 nations signed over with Gordon Brown, Rockefeller and one of the Rothschild clan.

These events are the some of the most important in human history but few know much about it or care.  This, in effect, shifts the power and a governmental control to a group of Globalist’s who have the power to collapse the world’s economy and cause mass starvation riots. The New World Order will offer to take control and bring order in the form of a one world government with a cashless currency using a card and 99.999% of everyone is on their database. The cards are already being printed in Canada. This would be a trial run for a chip to be inserted under the skin a small mark as described in Revelation 13:16.

Revelation 13:16	And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17	And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Our world in undergoing a shift in power and control unprecedented in world history.

We need to lay aside those things which are unimportant streamlining our lives and make the years we have left count for the Kingdom of God. In the midst of this encroaching darkness we will see the greatest spiritual harvest the world has ever seen.

Matthew 13:39

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

This coming time of great trouble will remove the tares from the church, and refining, purifying the bride.

Luke 21:28	And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Hebrews 11:7a	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;
