SOME FACTS ABOUT NOAH, THE TENTH GENERATION OF MAN!
Genesis 5 - Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.
Genesis 6:5-8 - And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me (I repent) that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Hebrews 11:6-7 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 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.
LIKE NOAH, LOT FOUND GRACE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD!
Genesis 19:18-19 - And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: behold now, Your servant has found grace in Your sight, and You have magnified Your mercy, which You have shown unto me in saving my life . . . .
2 Peter 2:4-9 - For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds); the Lord knows how (by grace) to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
[Note: The Bible says that the righteousness of man is nothing but filth (Isa. 64:6), and that there is none righteous, not even one single person (Rom. 3:10)! So then, how is it that the Word calls Noah and Lot righteous? The answer is that they had faith in God, and by grace (unmerited favor), God counted it to them for righteousness, just as He did Abraham (Rom. 4:3; Gal. 3:6; Jam. 2:23)!
NOAH AND LOT ARE EXAMPLES OF GOD REMOVING BELIEVERS
BEFORE HE POURS OUT HIS JUST WRATH UPON THE WICKED!
Luke 17:26-30 - And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
PASSAGES THAT SHOW THE CHURCH (BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS) WILL BE REMOVED PRIOR TO THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION,
A.K.A. DANIEL'S SEVENTIETH WEEK (DAN. 9:24-27)
AND THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE (JER. 30:7)!
John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:49-54;
1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:9;
and Revelation 3:10; 4:1!
THIS WORLD IS DESCRIBED IN ROMANS 1:18-32 AND 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5!
IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT CHRIST IS COMING FOR US VERY SOON!
