“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 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; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. " Matthew 24:37-39

Life went on as usual. For 120 years the work and message of Noah brought ridicule but no repentance. Busy lives, filled with activity; daily routines with schedules and deadlines. With little concern for their soul they lived day by day without a thought for their tomorrow.

Warnings came, but none believed.

And so it is today for those who refuse to heed the warning. In their wildest imagination, none can conceive the enormity of what lies ahead.

Then one day, without further notice or announcement, Noah and his family went inside the ark - the animals had come and The Lord Himself had closed the door.

Suddenly, a streak of light streamed forth from the sky, calamitous heaves rocked the Earth, the seas and the oceans roared. In rapid succession came sonic booms and catastrophic crashes, the rumble of a great earthquake could be heard from deep within the Earth. The ground began to rise and fall, pitch and roll, the air filled with hot moist vapor. The sound of explosions were heard, fiery meteors and asteroids impacted the Earth and the fountains of the deep broke apart.

The ark, undisturbed and motionless, was illumined by sheets of lightning. The giant boat stood as a monument to HIS Truth.

Jesus [The Ark] makes it quite clear: “As it was in the days before the flood, so shall it also be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

Torrents of water converged on the hillside, crowds gathered and the foolish were swept to their deaths.

Noah and his family did not escape the flood, but they did escape destruction because of their faith.

“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” Matthew 24:44

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” Matthew 25:13
