Reading: Genesis: 6:5-6 & 7:1,15,16
Matthew: 24:36-42
Hebrews 11:6-7
2 Peter 3:1-13
Noah was a righteous man in a generation that had abandoned God. God told Noah to build an ark, which he did, and God judged the world through a flood. Noah and his family were saved because they believed God and entered the ark.
Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah when people would be enjoying the pleasures of the world and leaving God out of their lives. The Lord Jesus is coming again in judgement upon those who do not believe in Him.
To please God we need faith, just like Noah who built an ark in preparation for the flood. Noah had not yet seen the coming flood but he through faith believed what God said.
In the last days the Bible predicts that many will question the coming again of the Lord Jesus, saying where is He? The reason why God is delaying His coming is that he is long-suffering and not willing that any should perish but that all should repent and believe in Jesus.
