“…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. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE MADE THEM.” But NOAH FOUND GRACE in the eyes of the LORD.” (Genesis 6:5-8)
We know that God instructed Noah to build the boat 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. (Genesis 6:15) We get worried that the measurements might not be just right, Earendel, a new star recently discovered, is 28 billion light-years away. As soon as God spoke it into existence it could be seen – how could that be? God can do anything, anytime, anyway that He desires to.
Jesus says, “…as the days of Noah were, SO ALSO WILL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39)
For sometime all the signs have been going but the end cannot happen until Joel 3:1-2 happens, “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I BRING BACK the captives of JUDAH AND JERUSALEM (It happened May 14th 1948), I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.” (Joel 3:1-2) There are approximately 15.2 million Jews worldwide (and rising). With more than 6.9 million Jewish citizens (2021 estimate), in the United States. Remember, Jesus said “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation (the generation we are living in) will BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY till ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE.” (Matthew 24:34)
