1 As Were the Days of Noah, the Days of Lot (Matt. 24:37-46; Luke 17: 26-30) And [just] as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of Man; people ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, right up to the day when Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. So also as it was in the days of Lot. [People] ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heave and destroyed [them] all. That is the way it will be on the day that the Son of Man is revealed (Luke 17: 26-30). What does the days of Noah and the days of Lot exactly mean? Those days were defined by their increasing wickedness and God s judgment that came upon them. The accounts of Noah s days are described in Genesis chapter six. It reads, When men began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to

2 them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose. Then the Lord said, My spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years. There were giants on the earth in those days and also afterward- when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually, and the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart. So the Lord said I will destroy, blot out, and wipe away mankind, whom I have created from the face of the ground- not only man, [But] the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air- for it grieves Me and makes Me regretful that I have made them (vs. 1-7). When YAHSHUA correlated the days of Noah to the day of His coming, He was talking about the same ripening condition for judgment Noah s day was found in just before it happened. Genesis 6:11-13 gives this account: The earth was depraved and putrid in God s sight, and the land was filled with violence and God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction. God said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will destroy them and the land. The days of Noah precedes the coming of our Lord to fetch His bride and His judgments upon the earth. Days of Noah is the sign of the end times. Life today resembles that of the days of Noah. How does one imply it specifically? Enoch, who lived before the great flood, was a righteous man. Before his translation he wrote the book of Enoch. There we find prophetic events of days of Noah in chapter six of Genesis concerning the sons of God who intermarried with human women. He said that these angels were the second rebellion of fallen angels. There were two separate groups: (1) Satan and the third of the angels (2) Samyasa and the 200 watchers, who decided to come down to earth to procreate hybrids, namely the Nephilim. These angels disclosed knowledge and technology to their wives, sons and daughters the Nephilim. They also taught them witchcrafts, sorcery, magic, divination, astrology, knowledge of plants (drugs), swords, shields, breast plates, occult knowledge and they taught them genetic manipulation, to provoke God. So, how do we imply specifically those days with

3 today s? For one thing, among many others, the genetic manipulations of God s creation of foods, animals of all kinds, including birds, interfering with God s purpose in creating them. much more is going on that resembles the days of Noah on its influence of demonic activities, including entities that abduct people to create hybrids. According to biology, a hybrid is a thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture; it is a cross, cross-breed, mixed breed, half-breed; half-blood. In the beginning of times, when God created the heavens, the earth and all which is in it, including the creation of man, He created each after their kind. We read the accounts of God s creation of plants, animals in Genesis 1: 11-12,25-28, 31: Then God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them on the earth; and it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good; and God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them And God saw all that He had made and behold, it was very good. But in the days of Noah, the fallen angels interfered with God s creation of man when they mingle their DNA with that of humans to produce as a result, giants called Nephilim. God created man in His own image, - male and female He created. But that cannot be said of those giants; for their nature is irredeemable. Their end will be eternal condemnation. These are the days of Noah in every aspect of the meaning. We live in a time of violence, when human life is degraded to nothing, only to the slash of their throats, to the burning of their body. We witness the ultimate corruption of wrong doing; the human life waits on the line to be sacrificed for whatever reason. We live as though there is no fear of God. We live among scoffers who walk to their lusts, as Peter has said. These are perilous times of great stress and trouble, for people are lovers of self and self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters, they are abusive, disobedient, ungrateful, unholy and

profane, they are without natural affection, relentless, slanders, intemperate and loose in morals, and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce haters of good, they are lovers treacherous, rash inflated

4 profane, they are without natural affection, relentless, slanders, intemperate and loose in morals, and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce haters of good, they are lovers treacherous, rash inflated with self-conceit, they are lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God, etc. these were words that the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy many years ago describing today s generation. These are the days of Noah preceding the coming of our Lord. YAHSHUA also correlated this day to the day of Lot before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra. Roughly four hundred years after the flood, God had to send judgment again upon the earth, specifically on Sodom and Gomorra. What was the sin that caused God to incur His wrath on those people? They were people of increasing wickedness and godlessness and immorality. God s wrath fell on them for their sins in general and specifically for their homosexuality. The people of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord (Gen. 13:13). In those days everyone did as their carnal pleasures led them. There was no fear of God. But before God destroyed the city, He revealed His plan to

5 Abraham. He said to Abraham, Because the shriek [of the sins] of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is exceedingly grievous, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether as is the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know. (Gen. 18: 21). God in His mercy will always let people know, specifically His servant, of His intent to judge a nation. So He did here to Abraham, who pleaded for Lot and His family. The angels did not do anything against the city, until Lot and his family had fled it. The angels told Lot, make haste and take refuge there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there then the Lord rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of the heavens. He overthrew, destroyed, and ended those cities, and all the valley and all the inhabitants of the cities and what grew on the ground (Gen. 19: 22,24-25). Only Lot and his family were saved from God s judgment. These are the days of Lot, when increasing wickedness and godlessness are prevailing. These are the conditions which will prevail before the coming of the Lord and His judgments. The primary sin of Sodom and Gomorra was homosexuality. In the book of Leviticus God gives warnings concerning the practice of homosexuality. He said, You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination; if there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman both of them have committed a detestable act. They shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them (Lev. 18:22; 20:13). Paul had this to say: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness for even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened therefore god gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity so that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather that the Creator Who is blessed forever amen. For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper (Rom. 1: 18, 21,23-27).

6 These are undeniably the Days of Noah and Days of Lot. These are the days which precede the sovereign judgment of God. We have been warned about the coming judgment. The Lord YAHSHUA said that in that day, one will be taken, the other will be left. That day is referred to the rapture or the taking away of His bride from the coming destruction. Are you sure, you will be taken with the bride?
