Observations

     

Biblical descriptions of the Ante-Diluvians

Gen 6:1 …increase in number…Gen 6:2  …daughters  were beautiful…Gen 6:3  …Spirit contends with man…Gen 6:4  …The Nephilim … children of sons of God and daughters of men…heroes of old, men of renown…Gen 6:5  …great  wickedness, every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time…2 Pet 2:5  …ungodly people, but Noah a preacher of righteousness…1 Pet 3:20 …disobeyed when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built…Luke 17:27  People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark.Luke 17:28  "It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. Mat 24:38  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; Mat 24:39  and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. (NIV) Go to Top

Parallel to the Last days…

Mat 24:37 "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." (NIV)

2 Pet 3:3-6  First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.  By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. (NIV)

2 Tim 3:2-8  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power.  They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth….men who oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, rejected from the faith. (NIV)

James 5:3  You have hoarded wealth in the last days.  (NIV)   Go to Top
