As it was in the days of Noah, so it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking and buying and selling, growing crops and building. But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, Master YHWH rained down fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all of them. Thus it will be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Both scenarios are examples of people who are disobedient or rebellious, putting themselves first and God as an afterthought, if they thought about Him at all. They mocked or ignored the ones preparing to be saved from destruction. Today we are called 'conspiracy theorists' or 'bible thumpers' and are mocked or ignored as we continue to study Scriptures and learn how to prepare for those end time events. Back in the days of Noah as in the days of Lot many did not have faith in the Creator and lived life the way they saw fit, sort of the 'Live and let live' mindset many have today. And who can ignore the perverted sexual lifestyles promoted in today's world?
Jude 1:6
And the Messengers (aka Watchers, those angels whose offspring were the Nephilim) that did not keep their first estate but left their station, He has reserved in chains unknown, under darkness to the judgment of the great day. And in like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities which followed sexual sin and went after strange flesh, are also placed beneath eternal fire, being doomed to judgment.
In
today's world the majority of people live out each day to the best of
their abilities: eating, drinking, getting married, raising families,
providing for their wants and needs, content to 'live and let live'
while turning a blind eye to the evil that has continued to surface
throughout the years until 'evil' is now considered good and 'good' is
called evil; 'good' is called hate speech and homophobia. The next step
Y'shua tells us about is that we will be hated because of him, because
of our faith in God the Father, Yahweh our Creator. This is exactly
what is happening as if we were the ones building an ark while spreading
the Word about the Good News of the Kingdom to come, informing people
about choosing the way of salvation. The analogy for us today, however,
is that we have been invited to the wedding feast and if we are not
prepared to enter, if our lamps are not full of oil and we run off to
buy some more, the door to the banquet hall will be shut and locked - it
will then be too late to enter, too late to be saved.
In Deuteronomy 32 Moses predicts what will happen speaking poetically when he said:
"Ah! The vine for them is from Sodom, from the vineyards of Gomorrah;
the grapes for them are poison, their clusters a bitter growth."
Yahweh says He is saving it up to be His recompense and vengeance at the
time "their foot falters". Their day of disaster will come as destiny
rushes upon them. This is pointing towards the end of the world as we
know it. Just as He brought an end to creation with The Flood when man's
thoughts were on evil continuously, just as He brought an end to Sodom
and Gomorrah because of their arrogance and wicked ways, He will bring
an end to this world that we know for those same reasons. Likewise, as
He saved the righteous and faithful from The Flood and as He saved Lot
from destruction, so do we have the opportunity to be saved from death
eternal.
Compare today with the writings of Ezekiel in Chapter
16 for example. There are people in these modern times who are arrogant,
who have plenty to eat and live without worry or concern, but they do
not support the poor or needy; in their haughtiness they commit
abominations in the eyes of our Creator. Then there are those whose
ungodly behavior makes those people appear righteous by comparison.
There will be a day of reckoning for us all. Lets remember we can
choose to be in His Everlasting Covenant and He will forgive and forget
the follies of our youth. For us today it is by acting in obedience to
our Creator's Instructions and having the testimony of His Son, Y'shua
the Anointed One that we find salvation.
Today's puzzle pieces: artificial intelligence, genetic modification and extreme sexual immortality. In Noah's day the Nephilim were the offspring of angels and human women = genetically modified beings which were not created by our Father. These genetic freaks were a big part of why Yahweh became so angry and cleaned the slate for His great reset.
