HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL
PASS AWAY
JESUS CHRIST emphasized
and give assurance that his
words have in them a life of
truths embodied that as
predicted, shall not be vain
and empty and
unaccomplished , shall
certainly be fulfilled ,, you
may sooner expect to see
the heaven and earth pass
away and return to nothing,
than my word fail, JESUS
claims that the words is
eternal ISAIAH 40:8 which
belong to the word of GOD
CHRIST was definite about
what he had said “Heaven
and Earth will pass away”
HE said there are going to
be done away with, the key
expectation is the LORD
return and his coming is
near,
BUT OF THAT DAY AND
HOUR KNOW NO MAN
This verse speaks of no
body , man is naturally
excluded from the
knowledge and not even
revealed to the angels in
heaven, is only the FATHER
knowing the time of
CHRIST’S return, in the eyes
of men, it has been a long
time since JESUS CHRIST
spoke this words, therefore,
men assume that the
second coming is a fable,
GOD knows it will happen.
BUT AS THE DAYS OF NOAH
The coming of the LORD
will be sudden, unexpected
to the world of unbelievers
JESUS said that his second
coming will find equivalent
in Noah days, he will come
when the world is living just
as it was living in Noah’s
days:
Living carnal lives, eating,
drinking, marrying, living
worldly and lustfully , the
practice of the men that
lived in Noah days by
refusing to heed to Noah’s
message of righteousness
and coming judgment, the
same practice will be
associated with last days
will surprise men will be
occupied in their pleasures
and their business, will
surprised expect those
who: “watched” especially
citing this example , shows
that the warning was not
heeded during Noah’s days
GENESIS 6:9 Noah walked
with GOD
So shall also the coming of
the SON of Man be; they
will be unaware about it

|
MATTHEW 24:38
|
38)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
|
FOR AS IN THE DAYS THAT
WERE BEFORE THE FLOOD
The LORD JESUS described
before the day of the flood
in Noah’s days ,the reckless
way in which men went on
their usual course, pursued
their pleasures and
vacations, with the
destruction hanging over
them, inspite of the
warning given, they ate
gluttonously, greedily like
animals , they drank
excessively , lust for more
and more, extravagant by
the pleasure of the flesh
and of the world and lustful
for more and more.
They were eating and
drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage ; not that
these action of life were
criminal in themselves, but
they refused to focus on
the kingdom of GOD and its
righteousness, and are not
concerned about the
kingdom of GOD, but on
worldliness and lust, just
like Noah gave warning,
when the earth was
destroyed the first time, it
was because the earth was
corrupted and full of
violence GENESIS 6:11-12
UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOAH
ENTERED INTO THE ARK
While Noah was building
Though they had watched
Noah building the ark, and
heard him preached
righteousness for many
years, they took no heed,
he preached the
righteousness of GOD and
the coming judgment, the
people had the testimony of
Noah’s life and his belief in
GOD’S word as a warning
that man is responsible to
live righteously and that
judgment is coming, they
saw Noah building the ark,
they saw the ark sitting
there, yet they rejected the
message of Noah, they went
on living in worldliness and
pleasure in their eating,
drinking, giving in marriage
and lusting after pleasures
of the world, they did it
until the very day “ Noah
and his family entered into
the ark, the vessel which
GOD directed him to make,
for the saving of himself and
family, now the men of that
generation persisted in their
wicked course of living
notwithstanding the
warning, the one GOD had
given them by Noah, of the
flood that would come upon
them, and all the while the
ark was being built, even to
the very day that Noah and
his family, by the order of
GOD went into the ark, then
suddenly , unexpectedly ,
the world was disarray.
|
|
MATTHEW 24:39
|
39)And knew not until the
flood came, and took them
all away; so shall also the
coming of the SON of man
be
|
AND KNEW NOT UNTIL THE
FLOOD CAME AND TOOK
THEM ALL AWAY
They knew not- that is, they
knew not the exact time
until it came upon them,
that is, they did not give
heed to what Noah was
saying to them about the
flood and the coming
judgment, they slighted and
despised his warning; they
did not believe, that what
he said of the flood was
“ they knew not”
they knew nothing because
they were immersed in
sensual living are stuck and
enslaved with the pleasures
of life, morality became
dull, hardened and
insensitive , they become,
more craving, more selfish,
More worldly, hope
becomes more materialistic
and death the final
True, they had the notice of
it, but they would not
believe it, and so therefore
GOD gave them up to
judicial blindness and
hardness of heart, until it
came upon them at once
and took them all away; the
whole world of the ungodly,
every man, woman, and
child, except eight persons
only; Noah and his wife, and
his three sons and their
wives: for the flood was
universal, and reached to all
the inhabitants of the
world, who all perished in it,
excepting the eight(8)
persons
GENESIS 7:1-24
They did not believe the
fact the message of Noah
there were ignorant about
the truth, they did not know
the word of GOD, they
secured themselves in the
world, living materialistic
lives, eating, drinking
It must be noted that the
only believer of Noah’s day,
were Noah himself and his
family, they were not
caught unaware, it was to
the unbelieving world that
the day came unexpectedly
SO ALSO THE COMING OF
THE SON OF MAN BE
That JESUS CHRIST’S
coming will be sudden, he
will come just as he came in
Noah’s day: at a shocking
time, just as they knew
nothing about it, busy with
worldly pleasure, craving
for more and more of
worldly pleasures, they shall
not know, the precise time,
until he comes, and then
they will be found engaged
in the ordinary business of
life unconcerned ,Like Noah
his family was left and not
destroyed
When CHRIST comes, he
will come when people are
living just as they were
living in the days of Noah:
There are many genuine
believers, we should be
prepared for HIS coming,
CHRIST sudden coming
should not catch us
unexpected; we must not
allow ourselves, to be so
immersed in worldliness
that we forgets eternity

MATTHEW 24:40-41
|
40) Then shall two be in the
field; the one shall be taken,
and the other left
41)Two women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken, and the
other left
|
THEN SHALL TWO BE IN
THE FIELD THE ONE SHALL
BE TAKEN
The second coming of
JESUS CHRIST is the time of
separation and judgment,
on that day not even
believers will be aware, they
will still go about their daily
affairs, their occupation as
usual , that day when
CHRIST comes, there will be
separation from those
nearest to us, working
together at their ordinary
agricultural occupations,
from those right by our side,
the believer will be taken by
the LORD into CHRIST
fellowship; “Taken” means
separation from
companions, the destiny of
two classes named the good
taken and the evil left there
will be no escape for the
unbeliever , who will be
mourners , left behind to
face the storm of judgment
Two women were busy
grinding in the mill, these
are the work which a
woman is to do for her
husband, she must grind,
and bake and wash and boil
and make bed, women
grinding together at the
same mill, one shall be
taken and the other left, the
calamity would be sudden,
and would come upon them
before they were aware
The basis of separation and
judgment is to belief, in
Noah’s day no one believed
the Message of
righteousness, only the man
who believes the message
of righteousness and
adheres to it will be taken
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21
MATTHEW 24:13

|
MATTHEW 24:42-43
|
42)Watch therefore; for ye
know not what hour your
LORD doth come.
|
WATCH THEREFORE FOR YE
KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR
YOUR LORD DOTH COME
JESUS CHRIST warning that
believers must always be
ready, indicating a constant
vigil at the present, the
reason of this watch today
is that the believers do not
know when the LORD will
come for them to be with
CHRIST
JOHN 14:39
JESUS said, the end will be
sudden, the final separation
will be completed; be ye
therefore always prepared,
the believer has to watch
against many things- his
own evil hearts, temptation,
the world and its pleasures
and most importantly , must
watch and be always
looking for the coming of
CHRIST: for whether he be
regarded as redeemer ,
Deliverer or Judge, he will
come as a thief in the night,
he will come suddenly
immediate and quickly.
The believers duty is to be
watchful and sleepless: to
be vigilant, it also includes
the ideas of being
motivated , of keeping ones
mind upon a thing, watching
being also alert at the right
time, it is the night that a
person really needs to stay
awake to watch for the thief
1 THESSALONIANS 5:4-5
The believer is to watch
and stay ready for the
LORD’S returns, he does not
know the exact hour of our
LORD return, therefore, he
is to watch and stay ready
at all times, he should be
ready and his eyes open
always and watching for
the signs of CHRIST return:
v The believer watches
about his duty to GOD,
he is to serve faithfully
and his heart towards
heaven
v The believer watches
his attitude and
behavior, he stays his
mind upon on CHRIST’S
return and walk soberly
and godly among others
CHRIST second coming will
be swift and sudden, there
will be no opportunity for
last-minute repentance or
bargaining , the choice we
already will determine our
eternal destiny, to watch is
to maintain active,
energetic, single-minded
obedience to the LORD
JESUS CHRIST

MATTHEW 24:43-44
|
43)But know this, that if
the good man of the house
had known in what watch
the thief would come, he
would have watched, and
would not have suffered his
house to be broken up
44)There be ye also ready;
for in such an hour as ye
think not the son of man
cometh
|
IF THE GOOD MAN OF THE
HOUSE HAD KNOW IN
WHAT WATCH THE THIEF
WOULD COME
If a man knew the hour, or
about the hours when a
robber would come, he
would be ready for him, so
you know not the exact
hour, when the son of man
will come, he will come
suddenly, as a thief comes,
without giving previous
notice
THIEF- A robber, a thief,
means one who takes goods
without doing violence,
secretly, silently.
IF HE HAD KNOWN
If the good man,
householder or master of
the family, we would have
known in what watch the
thief would come; , he
would have being warned of
the coming of CHRIST, he
would have watched,
implied that the good man
may have made all secured
as far as bolts and bars were
concerned, but he did not
keep awake.
The owner lived without
watchfulness:
The owner knew that the
thief was coming, he just
did not know what time he
was to come, he tries to
protect his house; he has
bolted the door and closed
the windows, he simply did
not watch long enough, he
simply failed to stay awake
long enough, to keep his
mind alert long enough, to
look and listen to the
noise(signs) long enough, to
keep active long enough
and to stand guard long
enough.
The thief came while the
owner was asleep, the
owner cease watching, and
the thief broke into his
house, taking most precious
items, the owner suffered
deserter,
JESUS CHRIST states
clearly, that constant watch,
means diligently living a life
of righteousness, looking for
his return
The owner’s house can
represent a man’s life, every
man is responsible for
taking care of his life, we
must keep our House(life)
by watching and being
ready for his return, he may
return any moment.

LUKE 17:28-29

28)Likewise also as it was in
the days of Lot; they did eat,
they drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted,
they builded
29)But the same day that
Lot went out of Sodom it
rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed
them all
|
LIKEWISE ALSO IT WAS IN
THE DAYS OF LOT
Likewise also as it was in
the days of Lot, when he
lived in Sodom, and before
the time of the destruction
of that city, they did eat,
they did drink, this is to be
understood of the
inhabitants of Sodom:
|
|
30)Even thus shall it be in
the day when the son of
man is revealed
|
EZEKIEL 16:49
49)Behold, this was the
iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
pride, fulness of bread, and
abundance of idealness was
in her and in her daughters,
neither did she strengthen,
neither did she strengthen
the hand of the poor and
needy
GENESIS 13:10
10)And Lot lifted up his
eyes, and beheld all the
plain of Jordan, that it was
well watered every, where,
before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah, even
as the garden of the LORD,
like the land of Egypt, as
thou comest unto Zoar
The inhabitants of Sodom
did eat, they drank, they
bought, they sold; they
traded among themselves,
and with other neighbors,
they planted, vineyards, and
fruit trees, living in very
fruitful soul, they built
houses for themselves ,
men were preoccupied
with normal affairs daily
such as: eating, drinking,
selling, buying, planting,
building, marrying, they
were going about their
normal life’s without giving
attention to GOD or the
warning of the coming
judgment.
They were not concerned
about the kingdom of GOD
and its righteousness, they
more concerned about their
pleasure, sensual and
lustful life, the people of Lot
days did not prepare , they
went right on with their
normal living focusing their
minds upon, the world and
the things , the flesh and its
pleasures, they were caught
unaware, unexpectedly,
suddenly then the Fire and
sulfur rained down from
heaven and destroyed them
all
GENESIS 19:24
24)Then the LORD rained
upon Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone and
fire from the LORD out of
heaven
GOD took care of Lot, who
really believed his warning
and prepared, GOD save
him from the coming
judgment, when the son of
man returns, the present
world will be the same as it
was in the days of LOT:
v Men will be going about
their worldly routines
day-to-day affairs
v Men will not believe
GOD warnings of living
righteously and heaven
focus
v Men will be caught
unaware, unexpectedly,
suddenly when CHRIST
will appear and men will
be judged
True believers who have
really prepared themselves
will be saved and delivered

LUKE 17:31
|
31)In that day, he which
shall be upon the housetop,
and his stuff in the house,
let him not come down to
take it away; and he that is
in the field, let him likewise
not return back
|
IN THAT DAY HE WHICH
SHALL BE UPON THE HOUSE
TOP
The coming of the LORD
when he will appears with
power and great glory,
there will be no time to
shape any new way of life,
the day will be a day of
urgency for all men, there
verse are applied by some
to the destruction of
Jerusalem and the stuff, in
the house, or his vessels, his
goods and furniture, or
utensils, and instrument of
trade and business, let him
not come down, from the
top of the house to take it
away; and he that is in the
field; at work not return
back at home.
On that day of CHRIST
return man must act
quickly, not wasting time,
when the LORD’S return to
judge the world, sinners will
be found, who bare marked
for eternal ruin they shall be
found by the judgment of
GOD,
believers are to be
prepared and act, we must
pay careful attention that
neither distrust nor
enticements of this world,
nor any consideration of
friendship hinder us from
making heaven
|
|
LUKE 17:32
|
32)Remember Lot’s wife
33) whosoever shall seek to
save his life shall lose it; and
whosoever shall lose his life
shall preserve it
|
REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE
Lot wife looked back, she
fled more slowly than her
husband; so not reaching
Zoar, she involved herself in
that calamity of which the
angel had warned her, she
become stiff neck not
believing what the angel
had said, or moved with the
miserable condition of the
place, or as reluctant to
leave her estate and goods,
in disobedience to the
commandment of GOD and
perish by death ,nearly the
same that befell the people
of Sodom; she delayed for
the extreme of the
miraculous and fearful
shower of fire and
brimstone ,that rained from
heaven on Sodom snatched
on the shameful woman,
and deprived her of life, and
suddenly burnt , covered
over her, discolored, struck
and utterly changed the
state of her body; so that
she, who had to run as she
ought, stopped altogether
still, standing upright as a
pillar of salt.
GOD turned her into a pillar
of salt, it is shocking caution
against unbelief,
disobedience, worldly
mindedness, content of
GOD’S warning and keeping
a love for the forbidden and
wicked persons,
GENESIS 16:26
The believers by this
instance, are warned not to
look back or turn back on
him, in seeking his kingdom
and it’s righteousness, in
time of distress and
persecution; since such are
not fit for the kingdom of
GOD; and in these GOD has
no delight and pleasure,
Lot’s wife came close to
being saved; she had
prepared, she was faithful
to her husband, listening to
his spiritual warnings,
walking with him through
the sinful city(world)but she
walking behind her
husband, not by the side;
therefore, she was able to
look back upon her carnal
experiences in the world of
Sodom, when she did, she
perish with the world
WHOSOEVER SHALL SEEK
TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Believers are warned not
try to save our lives for this
worldly pleasure and its
ways, we must not do as
Lot’s wife and the people in
the days of Noah, we must
loose our life for CHRIST and
his coming kingdom
|
|
LUKE 21:34-35
|
34)And take heed to
yourselves, lest at any time
your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of
the this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares
35)For as a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell
on the face of the earth
|
AND TAKE HEED TO
YOURSELVES LEST AT ANY
TIME
The believers are warned to
take heed to their selves ;
to their souls and bodies; to
their lives and
conversations; be upon your
watch and guard your
heart, that you be not
overpowered by
temptations, nor betrayed
by your own corruption, and
we cannot be safe, if we are
carnal, we must continually
expecting these things, do
not forget them, and do not
be secured and satisfied
with this life and the good
things which it provides , do
not fashion yourselves to be
drawn to the fashion of this
world; to be conformed to
their customs; the passions
or cares of earth surely
would hinder them from
living the brave, pure life
worthy of his servant
OVERCHARGED -be made
heavy.
As is the case with those
who have eaten and
drunken too much
SURFEITING -excessive
eating and drinking, so as to
oppress the body; merely
indulgence in food and drink
DRUNKENNESS- intoxication
in drinking
And cares of this life; food
and clothing, what you shall
eat or drink, or what we
shall be clothed, all such
anxious and worldly cares,
for there is such are the
nations of the world seek
after, and so that day come
upon you unawares.
The day of the return of
the LORD demands taking
care, give attention, to
focus one’s mind, to guard,
to beware, to take care,
believers are to be careful,
that is to guard their life,
not to be engaged in
worldliness, his heart is not
to , be weighed down,
heavy, burdened,
overcharged, overloaded ,
filled up, indulged;
worldliness:
Indulges in lust, the appetite
of the flesh, which weakens
a person moral restrains.
It allows craving for more
and more of things of the
world and focuses his mined
and heart, he desires far
more than what he needs
food and delicacies, clothes
and the latest styles, house,
cars, vehicles, planes, free
time and recreation, money
and wealth, fame and
position
The believer can be
focusing upon the things of
the world so much that he is
caught unaware, snared and
entrapped in the end time,
the day of the LORD’S
return, can catch him
unexpectedly and
unprepared and he is
doomed, that day, the end
time is going to catch the
whole world unprepared,
the terrible events and the
calamities of the end time
are going to fall upon the
earth and entrap all, and all
who dwells upon the earth
shall be caught in the
disastrous events of
destruction, and wreckage ,
distress,, misery,
misfortune, and loss,
suffering and affliction,
believers are warned to be
on their guard is going to
be great tribulation
Believers are to be Spiritual
faithful, which is critical in
light of JESUS teachings that
he will return for the faithful
believer at on unexpected
time

LUKE 21:36
|
36)Watch ye therefore, and
pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall
come to pass, and to stand
before the SON of man
|
WATCH YE AND PRAY
ALWAYS THAT YOU MAY BE
ACCOUNTED WORTHY
Watch against every sin,
snare, and temptation,
watch against particularly
surfeiting, drunkenness and
worldly cares: pray
continuously for the great
supply of grace, that we
may be counted worthy,
through the grace and
goodness of GOD, to escape
all things that shall come
and to stand before the SON
of man: with confidence.
Believers duty demands
watching and praying
always, which is to be
sleepless, awake, on guard,
which is living in the spirit of
prayer:
Every follower of CHRIST
must be on the watch
against sin and pray that
their love for CHRIST will
not weaken, in order that
they might receive strength
to continue in faith and
righteousness in JESUS
CHRIST
watch and pray always,
watch and pray on all
occasion and on everything
only by such continue
prayer will we able to
escape all the terrible things
coming upon the world.
Watching and prayer cause
GOD to count the believer
worthy, the man who watch
and pray for the LORD’S
return believes in the LORD,
and GOD takes the man’s
belief and count it worthy
and his is able to escape
the presence of the coming
judgment, to escape the
suffering of the judgment,
and the believer will not
have the fear or
apprehension to face the
SON of Man, he will stand
before the LORD, justified
and ready to be
transformed in the glory of
his personal appearing

GENESIS 7:1
|
1)And the LORD said unto
Noah, come thou and all thy
house into the ark ;for thee
have I seen righteous before
me in this generation
|
AND THE LORD SAID TO
NOAH COME INTO THE ARK
Then the LORD said to
Noah come into the ark,
you with all your house
hold, for you alone I have
seen as righteous, doing
what is right before me in
this generation, this was a
great character of Noah;
that he was a righteous
person, righteousness of
faith, he was a preacher of
and this was before GOD, in
the sight of GOD, known
and acknowledged as
righteous, Noah was a rare
instance of this character;
there was none besides him
in that wicked generation,
so he was very conspicuous
and remarkable; and it was
wonderful grace to him,
that he should have this
blessing to be righteous in
an age so badly corrupt,
which was the cause of his
being saved, for whoever
are justified shall be saved
eternally .
ROMANS 8:30
ISAIAH 3:10
The family consists of only
eight persons namely Noah
and his three sons, and their
four wives . Noah did not go
into the ark till GOD bade,
though he knew it was his
place of protection, but he
need GOD guidance in
every step he takes, the
divine observance of Noah’s
faithfulness, indicating , not
only spare of Noah’s godly
life, but its exceptional
character involving and
opposition sentence of
condemnation against his
contemporaries
GENESIS 6:18
GOD invited Noah to enter
the ark because he is
righteous before GOD, Noah
believed GOD, believed
what GOD said and did what
GOD said, believing and
obeying GOD always
pleases GOD, Noah pleased
GOD; therefore GOD
wanted to save Noah, GOD
saved Noah to look after
him, for GOD wanted to use
HIS great purpose for Earth,
this is reason Noah was
saved to carry the human
race.
GOD told Noah that his
whole family was to enter
the ark, which eased the
heart of Noah,
righteousness is an absolute
essential for a person to
enter GOD’S presence, GOD
will not allow unrighteous
person to enter and live in
the safety of HIS presence,
a person must approach
GOD through the
righteousness of JESUS
CHRIST, to be accepted to
GOD, a person must
become righteous in JESUS
CHRIST to be invited to
enter the ark of GOD’S
security from the judgment
to come

7)By faith Noah, being
warned of GOD of things
not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to the
saving of his house; by the
which he condemned the
world, and became heir of
the righteousness which is
by faith
|
BY FAITH NOAH BEING
WARNED OF GOD OF
THING S NOT SEEN
Everything which Noah did
in reference to the warning
from GOD, was done in
virtue of simple faith or
belief of what GOD said, it
was not because he could
show from the course of
events that things were
inclining to such a
catastrophe; or because
such event had occurred
before, interpreting it if it
will probably happen again
or it may be common belief
of man, and it was easy to
fall into this himself
But it was simply because
GOD had informed him of it,
and he put unwavering faith
on the truth of the divine
declaration
GENESIS 6:13-14
13)And GOD said unto
Noah, the end of all flesh is
come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence
through them; and, behold,
I will destroy them with the
earth

gopher, wood; rooms shalt
thou make in the ark pitch
it within and without with
pitch, and shall
One thing not seen yet, of
the flood which was yet
future event, by faith he
rejected the wicked world
around him by setting a
good example he shows the
guilt and foolishness of their
live by the contrast between
his conduct; and their
wickedness .
Moved with fear: not with
fear of his own damnation :
nor with a distrust of
salvation of himself and his
family in the ark; but with
an awful sense of the
judgment of GOD, upon the
wicked and from whom he
received the message to
prepared an ark for saving
of his house, immediately,
and without delay, he set
about the building of the
ark, and made it exactly
according to the Patten
which was given him; and
his the end was to secure
family, himself and his wife,
his three sons and wives,
from the flood, which he
believed would shortly
come upon the world,
according to the word of
GOD.
And in this his faith was
seen; it is the will of GOD to
save them; and that as GOD
saved Noah and his family in
the water, so he can, and
does, save his people in
afflictions, by which he
condemned the world; the
inhabitants of the world,
the world of the ungodly; as
preacher, he declared that
they would be condemned.
The sinner is condemned
not only by preaching but
his obedience and became
heir of the righteousness
by faith, it was faith or
confidence in GOD, which
was ground of his
justification
Compare Noah’s
righteousness
EZEKIEL 14:14
14)Though these three men,
Noah Daniel and Job, were
in it, they should deliver but
their own souls by their
righteousness, saith the
LORD GOD
Noah’s reward was
threefold, Noah family was
saved, Noah believed GOD’S
warning about the coming
judgment, GOD saved him
but every one around Noah
died, to be separated from
GOD forever, because they
refuse to heed to the
warning of GOD; the world
was condemned that is
Noah’s faith was vindicated,
the world had mock and
ridiculed Noah’s faith and
belief in GOD’S warning of
judgment, GOD judged the
world . left only eight (8)
persons from all the world ,
believers should be on their
guard.

20)Which some time were
disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of GOD waited
in the days of Noah, while
the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is eight
souls were saved by water
|
WHICH SOME TIME WERE
DISOBEDIENT WHEN ONCE
Noah a preacher, a crier or
herald of righteousness ,was
preparing the ark, in to
which eight(8)souls were
saved from the flood, the
water did not save them
but the Ark , they were
saved from death and dying
in the flood, it was not
water that saved the eight
persons but the Ark that
saved them, so baptism in
water does not save one
from lustfulness and
worldliness , from moral
craving of the flesh,
and proclaimed the
destruction of the world by
a flood, that from the dread
of that impending judgment
of GOD they might be
brought to repentance, his
preaching was attended
with little or no success, by
long suffering of GOD in HIS
patience waited in the days
of Noah,.
While the ark was in
preparation GOD continued
to wait one hundred and
twenty years of grace was
given by GOD if they will
repent ,until the end of his
waiting came in their death
by the flood
It shows the only good
answer is of a good moral ,
toward GOD, one has been
made clean by Faith in the
death, resurrection
ascension of JESUS CHRIST,
water baptism does not
save any body but it is the
ark that saved them from
drowning .

4)For if GOD spared not the
angels that sinned, but cast
them down to Hell, and
delivered them into chains
of darkness, to be revered
unto judgment
5)And spared not the old
world, but saved Noah the
eight person, a preacher of
righteousness, bringing in
the flood upon the world of
the ungodly
|
FOR IF GOD SPEARED NOT
THE ANGELS THAT SINNED
GOD speared not, the
angels, that sinned , the
fallen angels that rebelled
with Lucifer, it does not say
here what sin they
committed causing them to
be confined to HELL but
JUDE 6-7 and GENESIS 6:1-4
tell us that they committed
fornication living with the
daughters of men, these
angels committed sin,
contrary to their own
nature who are Spirits
created by GOD as such
were good, there first estate
they left was pure and holy,
as well as high and
honorable, they were first in
the truth, and along the
morning stars and were
angel of light and that
whereas before was the
highest among the
creatures, now is the lowest
of the place, that whereas
they were before the throne
of GOD with the rest of the
angels, now in rebellion,
and draw a large number
with him into it, , which is
called Beelzebub,, the
prince of the air,, Satan, as
their head, while the other
who rebelled , they are
now cast down into a lower
place to Hell, the point is
that Angel were sent to hell
and chained with darkness,
and GOD is holding them for
eternal judgments, if GOD
judge such glorious being as
lucifer and the angles, how
much more will he judge
men, especially if they teach
false doctrines and mislead
people.
GOD did not spare the
ancient world, but
preserved Noah with seven
others, a preacher of
righteousness ; of the
righteousness of GOD, in all
his ways and works, a just
man and perfect, who walk
with GOD, the righteous to
the ungodly among whom
he lived, warned them of
the impending danger that
they should turn from their
evil ways and works, lest the
waters of the flood come
upon them, and cut them
off and all their seed
GENESIS 6:9
The world become totally
wicked, wickedness
prevailed in every mind,
heart and life, GOD had to
destroyed the whole world
of the ungodly people and
the false teachers, who
mislead people, GOD did
|

not forgive their sin, nor
provide a savior for them,
but directly, and at once,
notwithstanding the dignity
and excellency of their
nature, in strict justice,
without mercy, inflict due
punishment on them,
wherefore it cannot be
thought that false teachers,
who spread false doctrine,
who don’t abide in the
truth, but deny and oppose
it , should not escape the
vengeance of GOD
GOD knows how to deliver
the godly and hold the
ungodly until the day of
judgment to be punished, if
GOD cut off that wicked
race, and thus showed that
he would punish the quality,
by dreadful sweeping away
the inhabitants of world, he
showed that person could
not sin with impunity, and
that the irredeemably
wicked must perish to
eternal destruction,
believers should not be part
of the generation of the
flood , nor shall they stand
in judgment.
There is no excuse for false
teacher or preaching wrong
doctrine that leads people
astray , the true word of
GOD must be taught and be
preached by true believers
and they are , not to fear
other false preachers and
teachers to shy away from
the glorious gospel for GOD
knows how to meet the
needs of man, and HE
knows how to deliver such
teacher of truth from
obstacle and through every
difficulties, no matter how
great a trial or temptation,
no matter who opposes the
true gospel , GOD knows
how to deliver him,, he
delivered Noah and Lot both
through the most trying
opposition and ungodliness,
all false teachers shall be
judged and doomed for
judgment and eternal
punishment

6)And turning the cites of
Sodom and Gomorrah into
ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making
them an example unto
those that after should live
ungodly
7)And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy
conversation of the wicked
8)For that righteous man
dwelling among them, in
seeing and hearing, vexed
his righteous soul from day
to day with their unlawful
deeds
9)The LORD knoweth how
to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve
the unjust unto the day of
judgment to be punished
|
AND TURNING THE CITES
OF SODOM AND
GOMORRAH INTO ASHES
Condemned them with an
overthrow, GOD destroyed
GOD caused fire and
brimstone, an explosion, a
combustion of fire to fall
upon Sodom and
Gomorrah: the cites were
tuned into ashes and was
made as an example to be
avoided by all those who
live ungodly lives , which
pattern :instance of the
judgment, sure to fall,
sooner or later, on all who
were guilty of like sins,
which to this day go by the
name of “SODOMY” the
reason of the Judgment and
destruction was that the
people were living, filthy,
immoral, lustful and
worldly, the men of Sodom
have no part in the world to
come.
The sin and same of the
people were disturbing the
heart of Lot, there was so
much sin and shame that
Lot heart was distressed to
sees the Law of GOD
violated so much,
exceedingly grieved by the
lustful behavior of the
lawless Sodomites , seeing
their open act of
wickedness, and hearing
their abominable
conversation , the effect ,
which this has had on the
mind of Lot, it was
tormenting his righteous
soul, the sight of
lawlessness deeds and
sound of wicked words
were a daily grief to Lot, he
distress himself, he felt the
guilt and danger of his
neighbor,, and the dishonor
done to GOD .
GOD is able to deliver his
people whenever they are
tempted, such as Noah and
Lot are exposed to by he
grant his presence in them;
he support under them .
AND DELIVERED JUST LOT
Who was a just man, being
justified by righteousness
and having the new man
formed in him, living soberly
and righteously.
To show and make
distinction between the
righteous and wicked; and
that while ungodly , later
be destroyed, the righteous
will be saved ,Lot did not
embrace and delight in the
iniquities of the inhabitants.
The point here is that GOD
did not spare the angels, in
the time of Noah, the
inhabitants and the cite of
Sodom and Gomorrah, he
will not spare any man who
lives ungodly including the
backsliders.
