For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Rms. 15:4)
God found favour with Noah at a time when man's wickedness had hit an all time high. It had become great and every inclination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil all the time." (Gen. 6:5b) God resolved therefore to wipe out humanity and all living things from off the face of the earth.
He gave clear instructions to Noah to build a boat with specific dimensions. The people had never seen a boat before so Noah became a laughing-stock whilst they continued business as usual.
At the appropriate time when all the animals had been assembled along with seven other members of Noah's family and had entered the ark, God shut the door and sent down rain for 40 days and nights. Only those who were in the boat survived.
Noah had sounded the warning but no one was interested. They continued living in sin until disaster engulfed them. It is not any different today as it was then.
Who are you listening to? Do not look down on God's messenger (Noah, John the Baptist) because of how they are packaged, but listen to the content of the messages being transmitted. It could save your life. (ggn131122)
