Good morning to you Hope you are having a great week. It was sure good to get some much needed rain! GOD is so good to us! I can’t help but think about the times our world is in now. The people in the days of Noah were blind. Jesus described the sign of the days of Noah in Matthew 24:37-37: But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. This wasn’t a human population innocently multiplying and filling the earth as God had commanded. Instead, “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. In other words, the world was ignoring God and living only for themselves. So why did Jesus use such innocent sounding words to describe the day of Noah—eating, drinking, marrying? Because it’s a sign-an illustration of mankind’s total absorption in their own affairs, their own pleasures, their self-centeredness.
