The Days of Noah :: By Sean Gooding

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Sean Gooding

Genesis 6:1-8 & Matthew 24: 37-39

“Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, ‘My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.’ 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 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. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”

Matthew 24:37-39, “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

I am reading a book right now… well, trying to read a book called Fallen. It is a Ph.D. thesis concerning the ‘sons of God’ mentioned in Genesis 6.

If you have been around preachers for any period of time and the topic of Genesis 6 and the ‘sons of God’ come up, there are basically two camps. There is the camp that calls the ‘sons of God’ the sons of Seth, and they are not supernatural beings that have copulated with human women. These are human men with human women, and they produced giants. I lean with the second camp that the ‘sons of God’ are, in fact, fallen angels that have been able to have relations with human women, and they produced giants.

There are some who avoid this topic; they claim not to be smart enough or that it does not matter. But it does. Jesus makes it a point to remind us that the coming of the Son of Man will be marked by the fact that the world at that time will mimic the days of Noah.

There are two parts to the situation described in Genesis 6; the second is the level of evil, an evil so great that it made God feel ‘sorry’ for making Man. Go back to Genesis 2 and see that Man was the crowning glory of God’s creation, and here we are not, and God hates that He has made Man. The first part seems to be the catalyst for this level of evil. The ‘sons of God’ saw that human women were beautiful and married them, had kids, and these kids were giants. There was a genetic melding between the spiritual and the flesh that resulted in giants.

I have been researching this for a while, and I do not claim to know it all. But I am on the supernatural side of the equation because of the way that God lays out the verses in Genesis 6. Many would have us read these verses as two separate and unconnected events – the union between angels and women and the level of evil in the world. But God puts them as a hand-in-hand event.

Jesus reiterates in Matthew that the time when the Son of Man returns will be like the days of Noah. No one will argue about the level of evil in the world. We, the children of God, are like Lot in Sodom, vexed by the level of evil around us. Every day, we are astonished by the ever-expanding level of evil around us. From the rise of homosexual perversions, the determined efforts to make sexual relationships between adults and minors legal, the rise in things like theft and murder, the sheer level of corruption we see in our governments, and sadly, the scandals that continue to rock the ‘church’ world.

Evil is rampant, front and center, and no longer hiding in the shadows. There is a level of evil that transcends human ability, and it is clear that there appears to be supernatural powers behind this evil. We can look back at Genesis 6 and see that one of the signs of the end will be the interference of the evil supernatural into the lives of humans. There will be more and more contact between the fallen angels and the men/women of the earth as we get closer and closer to Jesus’ return.

Now, I am still researching this, and I cannot say definitively that fallen angels will once again have access to human women for sexual relations. However, it is clear that genetic manipulations will become more and more prevalent. One of the things that God points out in Genesis 6:9, we see this statement from God:

“This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generation. Noah walked with God.”

We like to jump to the ‘spiritual’ summary and miss the physical one in this verse. As it has been said, some of us are so heavenly-minded that we are no earthly good. Notice that phrase ‘perfect in his generations.’ God describes this of Noah in the same line as the fact that he was a ‘just man.’ So not only was Noah a godly man, he was GENETICALLY pure. His human DNA was not corrupted all the way back to Adam. This was important because the Messiah had to come directly from Adam (see the genealogy in Luke) so He could redeem us. God killed the whole human race except for Noah and his family to preserve the perfect human genealogy.

Now, it would appear that one or more of Noah’s daughters-in-law had ‘affected’ DNA because even after the flood, there were giants. The nation of Israel encountered giants in the wilderness journey, and they conquered the promised land. We are all familiar with David and Goliath and the fact that Goliath had 4 brothers who were also giants. There has been the discovery of giant skeletons and large tools that only have been used by giants all over the world.

Lately, there has been news article after article about previous encounters with ‘alien crafts’ from pilots both in the military and commercial fields. My suspicion is that the world is being prepped for the unveiling of current supernatural inference in mankind.

As it was in the days of Noah covers both the spiritual and sinful events of Genesis 6. Mankind is sinful, but it appears that we are able to attain an even greater level of evil when we pair our efforts with the fallen supernatural beings. Jesus is coming soon; this means that the level of evil will keep getting worse and worse; woe are we as we see it and await our Lord.

God bless you,

All Praise To The Father :: By Dennis Huebshman

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

Psalm 68:4; “Sing to God; Sing praises to His name; lift up a song to Him who rides through the deserts; His name is the Lord; Exult before Him.” Romans 16:27; “to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ, Amen.” (ESV – all emphasis is mine)

Romans 11:36; “for from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever, Amen.” Galatians 1:3-5; “Grace to you and peace from our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever, Amen.”

Philippians 4:20; “To our God and Father be glory forever and ever, Amen.”

Then 2 Timothy 4:18; “The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and bring me safely into His Heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever, Amen.”

God’s word is absolutely filled with messages of well-deserved praise for Him, our Savior Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. There is nothing that takes place in this world that surprises our Holy Trinity. We have been given insight as to what would be taking place right up to the tribulation/wrath, and from there to the end of the existence of this present sin-filled earth. All events today are in Bible Prophecy and right up to date.

Taking a close look at today’s events and then looking at God’s Holy Word, we see a covenant that He made with Abraham that is still in effect today. Genesis 12:1-3; “Now the Lord said to Abram, go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him that dishonors you, I will curse; and in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Please note that when God says, “I will,” that is His solemn promise that He will keep forever.

This covenant had no timeline attached to it. As given in 2 Peter 3:8, “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Through Abraham’s bloodline, our Lord and Savior came to this earth for the purpose of providing a perfect sacrifice for God’s chosen people. Following through on God’s covenant that “all the families of the earth shall be blessed,” Jesus Himself stated in John 10:16, “And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be one flock, one Shepherd.”

The Father has kept His covenant, and in more than one place in Scripture, it states, “All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” This means that every living, breathing soul on this earth who truly receives and accepts the Savior as their Messiah is a part of His precious flock.

The sad part is more will reject the Savior than will accept Him. Jesus said this would be so in Matthew 7:13-14 when He talked about the road to destruction versus the pathway to eternal life. Even though the Jews are the chosen people, they must still receive and accept Jesus as their Savior or be lost forever. It is estimated that of the over 15 million Jewish people worldwide, only about 2% to 3% are Messianic, or have the Savior in their hearts. Yet it is obvious that on the Father’s part, His covenant still stands.

In Zechariah 13:8, we read, “In the whole land, declares the Lord, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one-third shall be left.” Looking at Philippians 2:9-11, the time is coming that all will believe, even those who are lost, that Jesus is the one true Savior; “Therefore, God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father.”

That will include even the most evil and wicked presence that has ever lived – Satan. He and all of his demons will be included in that “All.”

We are seeing events take place in this world today that are signaling the Rapture is just around the corner. We cannot predict the day or hour, but our Lord Himself told us that when all the signs are here, He is very near (Luke 21:28).

During the tribulation/wrath, the words of Zechariah above will become obvious. In Lamentations 3:46-50, 55-57, we can just about see and feel how the people will call out to the Lord in despair. “All our enemies open their mouths against us; panic and pitfall have come upon us; devastation and destruction; my eyes flow a river of tears because of the destruction of the daughters of my people. My eyes will flow without ceasing, with respite, until the Lord from Heaven looks down and sees.”

“I called on Your name Oh Lord, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea; do not close Your ear to my cry for help. You came near when I called on You, You said, ‘Do Not Fear.'”

Israel is the only nation on this earth that was just about taken out of existence in AD70, and after almost 2000 years, became a sovereign nation once again. In between that time, the land was almost uninhabitable, as was written about by Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, in 1867.

When Israel declared on May 14, 1948, that they were once again a sovereign nation, two things happened almost immediately. First, Harry S. Truman recognized their sovereign status and was the first national leader to welcome them. Second, the Arab nations around them immediately went into “attack” mode in an attempt to eliminate them once and for all. With limited resources, the tiny nation survived the attack and began a pattern of growth that could only be described as “God-Inspired.”

Since then, Israel has been attacked several times by numerous neighboring countries, but thus far, have always come out successful. Their desert lands have become fertile for growing crops to the point that they even export their overabundance to other countries. There have been deposits of natural gas and oil discovered within their boundaries, and they export them as well. This directly affects Russia’s economy, and the Arab nations are still jealous of them.

It should be evident that this nation about the size of New Jersey has received Divine help. They realize that if they were ever to be conquered by the other nations, they would not just be defeated; they would be eliminated altogether. They have suffered pain and setbacks, yet they are still a force to be reckoned with.

All praise and glory must be given to the Father for the Jewish success story. One thing about His chosen people is that they are willing to share their land with anyone who would be willing to live peacefully with them. Again, this follows the concept that Jesus told about where there would be “one flock; one Shepherd.”

The tribulation will definitely be extremely hard on the Jewish people, as Zechariah told us. However, at the end of that time, when Jesus comes to this earth for His Millennial reign, they will have the opportunity to be at peace once again, and this time with Yeshua ruling them from Jerusalem.

To avoid the coming wrath, all who are true believers and have received and accepted Jesus as their Savior will not be here for the tribulation/wrath. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 about the Rapture that will keep us from that horrible time. However, we must call on Jesus to be our Savior before that takes place. The dead in Christ will rise first, and then those believers who are still alive will rise up next to meet the Savior in the air. This is for everyone, Jew or Gentile, worldwide.

All who do not have Jesus when they take their last breath here will be scheduled for the Revelation 20:11-15 White Throne Judgment. This includes all who went against the will of God before Calvary, and all who rejected Jesus from Calvary to the end of the Millennium. No one wins at that Judgment. There will be no forgiveness, no pardons, no limited sentences, and even Satan will be cast into the lake of fire forever.

There are no other options, and it is totally each individual’s choice where they will spend eternity. It will be eternal life with Jesus in Heaven or eternal punishment with Satan and his demons in hell. This will be the most important decision you can ever make. All who truly choose the Son of the Living God will not be turned away. At the same time, God will not force anyone to choose Jesus.

For any who have never read God’s word – the Bible – I would suggest reading the book of John first, then Romans. After that, Matthew through Revelation, and afterward, Genesis through Revelation. Just get a true translation that you can understand, such as the New American Standard or the English Standard Version.

There is a great chance that the Rapture will take place before you finish the whole book, but you will be ready to be with Jesus. We hope to see you with us at the feet of our Beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen!

Come, Lord Jesus!
