JESUS COMPARED HIS COMING TO THE DAYS OF NOAH, NOAH PREACHED FOR 120 YEARS, GOD ASKED HIM TO MAKE AN ARK TO SAVE PEOPLE FROM JUDGMENT, THE FLOOD. BUT MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T BELIEVE, UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME, HOW MANY PEOPLE SURVIVED THE FLOOD? 8 PEOPLE NOAH AND HIS FAMILY, THE JUDGMENT IN THE FORM OF A FLOOD TOOK THEM, THERE WAS NO MORE CHANCE OF SALVATION AFTER HE CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE ARK.

IF JESUS COMPARED HIS COMING TO THE TIME OF THE FLOOD, ALSO THOSE WHO DIDN'T GO UP WITH JESUS AT HIS COMING WERE DEAD, THERE WILL BE NO SECOND CHANCE.

I WILL HIGHLIGHT SOME VERSES FROM THE BIBLICAL TEXT THAT CLARIFY FOR US THIS CONCEPT THAT ON THE RETURN OF JESUS COMPARED TO THE ANTI-DILUVIAN THERE WILL BE NO 7 YEARS OF CHANCE. COMPARING TO THE FLOOD THOSE WHO REMAINED ON EARTH OR THE WICKED REMAINED DEAD...

2 Peter:3

3. KNOWING this first, that in the LAST DAYS SCORPERS will come, according to their own LUSTS,

4. And saying: WHERE is the PROMISE of his COMING? because since the fathers fell asleep, all things REMAIN as they have been since the BEGINNING of CREATION.

5. They willfully ignore this, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth, which was taken out of the water, and stands in the midst of the water.

6. BY WHICH THINGS did the WORLD then PERISH, COVERED with the WATERS of the FLOOD,

7. BUT THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH WHICH NOW EXIST BY THE SAME WORD ARE RESERVED AS A TREASURY, AND KEPT THEMSELVES FOR FIRE, UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, AND PERDITION OF WICKED MEN.

9. THE LORD DOES NOT DELAY his promise, EVEN though some consider it LATE; but he is LONG-STOPPING toward us, not wanting SOME to PERFECT, but that ALL should REPENT.

10. BUT the DAY of the LORD WILL COME like a THIEF in the NIGHT; in which the HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY with a GREAT ROUND, and the elements, BURNING, SHALL SHADE, and the EARTH, and the works that are therein, SHALL BURN.

12. Waiting, and hastening for the COMING of the DAY of GOD, IN WHICH THE HEAVENS, in FIRE, SHALL DISFAVE, and the ELEMENTS, BURNING, SHALL MERE?

13. BUT WE, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK FORWARD TO new HEAVENS and a new EARTH, where RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS.

14. Therefore, beloved, AS YOU AWAIT these THINGS, SEEK THAT YOU MAY BE FOUND IMMACULATED AND IRREPRESSIBLE IN PEACE.

THE QUESTION TO REFLECT ON IS, WHO WILL STAY ALIVE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS? FOLLOWING WHAT JESUS SAID, NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WERE SAVED, THOSE WHO STAYED OUTSIDE THE ARK DROWNED. THE PARALLEL THAT JESUS MADE TELLS US THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT GO UP WITH JESUS WILL BURN TO DEATH.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS JESUS IS LONG-SLOWING HE IS WAITING FOR YOU BECAUSE HE WAS COMING SO THAT YOU AND I WON'T PERISH, GOD IS LOVE BUT DON'T WAIT FOR A SECOND CHANCE IT DOESN'T EXIST AFTER JESUS' RETURN, IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE TODAY DON'T GET HARDENED THE HEART!
