But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Matthew 24:37 

•  The end time wickedness

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

 and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, 

and He was grieved in His heart. 

Genesis 6:5-6 

 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined,

 but the wicked shall do wickedly;
and none of the wicked shall understand, 
but the wise shall understand. 
Daniel 12:10 

The LORD sees the wickedness of man that is great in the earth and is grieved in His heart. 

 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days,

 walking according to their own lusts, and saying,

 "Where is the promise of His coming?

For since the fathers fell asleep, 

all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.

" For this they willfully forget: 

that by the word of God the heavens were of old,

 and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

by which the world that then existed perished, 

being flooded with water.

But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, 

are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 

2 Peter 3:3-7

• The End has come

And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, 

for the earth is filled with violence through them; 

and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 

Genesis 6:13 

In schools end-of-term or end-of-year examinations are held to determine who is fit to progress to the higher class and who is not. It is a point of separation.

The end of the current season is near and there is going to be a new season.

The next season in GOD'S agenda, a season of separation.
It is the LORD Who determines who is chosen and who is not.
Some are picked to be close to Him and the others are cast out.

Children who desire to progress higher, prepare diligently for the exam.
If we desire to be closer to the LORD JESUS in the next season, we need to prepare ourselves diligently.

But the end of all things is at hand; 

therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 

1 Peter 4:7 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• The Flood

 And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, 

to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; 

everything that is on the earth shall die. 

Genesis 6:17

The pangs of death surrounded me, 
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Psalm 18:4 

So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, 
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
 When the enemy comes in like a flood,
 The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. 
Isaiah 59:19

The sea of worldliness will cover the earth like a flood. This is caused by the evil one.

 So the serpent spewed water

 out of his mouth like a flood after the woman,

 that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 

But the earth helped the woman,

 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood

 which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 
Revelation 12:15-16 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• In the World; Not of the World.

 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, 

and I come to You. Holy Father, 

keep through Your name those whom You have given Me,

 that they may be one as We are.
John 17:11 

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 
John 17:16

In this world we are surrounded by the water of worldliness.
If we allow this water to enter into us by allowing the systems of the world to influence us, we will drown and die spiritually.

Unlike the fish which live comfortably in the water, people who swim need to frequently bring their head above the water to breathe air, to keep alive.
Similarly we have to be constantly breathing the Holy Spirit through prayer to keep ourselves  spiritually alive  in the world.

 pray without ceasing, 
1 Thessalonians 5:17

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• The Fire

 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,

 in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise,

 and the elements will melt with fervent heat; 

both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved,

 what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, 

because of which the heavens will be dissolved,being on fire,

 and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 

Nevertheless we, according to His promise,

look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, 

be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 
2 Peter 3:10-14

The test all of us have to face is the test of our faith.

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, 

And He who formed you, O Israel:

 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; 

I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; 

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. 

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

 Nor shall the flame scorch you. 

For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; 

I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 
Isaiah 43:1-3 

that the genuineness of your faith, 
being much more precious than gold that perishes, 
though it is tested by fire, 
may be found to praise, honor, and glory 
at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 
whom having not seen you love. 
Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, 
you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls. 
1 Peter 1:7-9 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Period of Grace

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 
Genesis 6:8 

 Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark,

 you and all your household, 
because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, 
a male and his female; 
two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 
also seven each of birds of the air, male and female,
to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.
For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth
forty days and forty nights,
and I will destroy from the face of the eart
 all living things that I have made.
And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. 
Genesis 7:1-5 

 And it came to pass after seven days
that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 
Genesis 7:10 

This is now the period of grace.
Because of the grace of GOD we have been given extra time to prepare for the time of separation.

 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing,

 that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day. 

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,

 as some count slackness, 

but is longsuffering toward us, 

not willing that any should perish 

but that all should come to repentance. 
2 Peter 3:8-9 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Watch and Pray

 Watch therefore, 

for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 
Matthew 24:42 

We need to be watching the current situations relating to Bible prophecies and be praying and interceding for grace as we have found grace in GOD'S eyes.

 But the end of all things is at hand;

 therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

And above all things

 have fervent love for one another,

 for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
1 Peter 4:7-8

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• The Ark

 "Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; 

make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 

And this is how you shall make it: 

The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, 

its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

 You shall make a window for the ark, 

and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; 

and set the door of the ark in its side. 
You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
Genesis 6:14-16 

We need to make the ark in obedience to the LORD.
JESUS is the Ark!

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,

 and immediately blood and water came out. 

John 19:34

 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, 

the seventeenth day of the month, 

on the mountains of Ararat. 
Genesis 8:4 

 For he who has entered His rest 
has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. 
Hebrews 4:10

 "Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; 

make rooms in the ark, 
and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 
Genesis 6:14 

Pitch made the ark waterproof. 
JESUS covering us in and out will make us 'waterproof' while we are in the water of worldliness.

I am the vine, you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;
 for without Me you can do nothing. 
John 15:5

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Drown in the Flood

 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, 

and the mountains were covered. 

And all flesh died that moved on the earth: 

birds and cattle and beasts 

and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, 

and every man. 

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life,

 all that was on the dry land, died.

So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground:

 both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. 

They were destroyed from the earth. 

Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive. 

And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 7:20-24 

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 
For we brought nothing into this world, 
and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 
And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, 
and into many foolish and harmful lusts 
which drown men in destruction and perdition. 
1 Timothy 6:6-9

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world.
And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
Who is he who overcomes the world, 
but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 
1 John 5:4-5

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Overcome the Flood

 Now the flood was on the earth forty days. 

The waters increased and lifted up the ark,

 and it rose high above the earth.

The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, 

and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. 
Genesis 7:17-18

These things I have spoken to you, 

that in Me you may have peace.

 In the world you will have tribulation; 

but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." 

John 16:33 

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them,
 I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 
and the rain descended, the floods came, 
and the winds blew and beat on that house;

and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine,
 and does not do them, 
will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 
and the rain descended, the floods came, 
and the winds blew and beat on that house; 
and it fell. And great was its fall." 
Matthew 7:24-27 

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, 

but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, 

to be reserved for judgment; 
and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, 
one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, 
bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;

then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations
 and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 
2 Peter 2:4-5, 9

There is therefore now no condemnation 
to those who are in Christ Jesus, 
who do not walk according to the flesh, 
but according to the Spirit. 
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
has made me free from the law of sin and death.   
Romans 8:1-2 

For to be carnally minded is death,
 but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; 
for it is not subject to the law of God, 
nor indeed can be. 
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
 if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, 
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 
He who raised Christ from the dead 
will also give life to your mortal bodies 
through His Spirit who dwells in you. 
Romans 8:6-11 

But those who wait on the Lord 

Shall renew their strength; 

They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 

They shall run and not be weary,

 They shall walk and not faint. 

Isaiah 40:31 

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, 

concerning those who have fallen asleep,

 lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 

even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,

 that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord 

will by no means precede those who are asleep. 

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, 

with the voice of an archangel, 

and with the trumpet of God. 

And the dead in Christ will rise first. 

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together 

with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 

And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 

 "Let not your heart be troubled; 

you believe in God, believe also in Me. 

In My Father's house are many mansions;

if it were not so, I would have told you.

 I go to prepare a place for you. 

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

 I will come again and receive you to Myself; 

that where I am, there you may be also. 
John 14:1-3 

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, 
and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, 
descending out of heaven from God, 
Revelation 21:10 

He who testifies to these things says,

 "Surely I am coming quickly." 
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! 
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.   
Revelation 22:20-21
