The Days of Noah

Jesus said that it will be at His coming the way it was in the days of Noah. So, the question is, “What was it like in the days of Noah?”

Here are some passages from Scripture which give you an indication:

Genesis 6:5 (NAS): 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 6:6 (NAS): 6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

Genesis 6:10–13 (NAS): 10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

Does that help? The earth was filled with violence, wickedness dominated man’s heart, motives and thoughts were evil all the time, and man’s ways were grieving to their Creator and He was sorry for every making man.

That is the way it will be on the earth before Jesus returns. Our current state of world affairs definitely supports that condition. What is worse, man rejoices in its corruption.

Can you imagine the sadness and sorry that God has for creating man? In the church, even, man is growing in corruption. The result of this kind of corruption and evil is judgment. When Jesus returns, His judgment will be swift, sudden, timely, and consummate.

This is why we need to call to the world to repent because Jesus’ time is near and man’s day is coming to a close.
