The judgment in Noah’s day
Remember the song, “Room at the fountain.” |
Genesis 6:1-16
Genesis 7:1-16 |
According to 2nd Peter 3:8, “But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” With this in mind you could see that Adam actually lived for almost one thousand years which is almost one day with the Lord.
Adam begat sons and daughters and his family multiplied. Also Cain begat sons and daughters too. And men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them; that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. They never consulted with God about choosing a wife or mixing up in marriage. Some preachers believe the sons of God mentioned here were Adam’s children, others think they were angels who were watching the earth. Still some think the daughters of men were married to these angelic persons. Yet some think the children of Adam intermarried or mingled with the seed of Cain. Whichever way you look at it these people or persons were contrary to God in their dealings and relationships. And the results were the gaints were born in the land and wickedness and violence and godlessness corrupted the earth. And in Genesis 6:5, “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” And God said, “My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he is flesh.” |
Genesis 7:17-24
Genesis 8:1-22 Genesis 9:1-17 |
In the midst of this wickedness on the earth, which God said was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. In Genesis 6:6, it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. For Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. The earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon earth.God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis, 7:10-23,”And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth., – And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights; All in whose nostril was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land died; except Noahs’. |
Genesis 6: 3, “And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.”
Genesis 9:13, “I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” |
Day 2
2nd Peter 2:6, “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly.”

The judgment in Lot’s day
Remember the song, “Trust and Obey.” |
Genesis 13:1-18
Genesis 18:20- 33 Matt.10:5-15 |
Lot was Abraham’s nephew, and when God called Abraham; he took his nephew along, (filial relationship). And with time both Abraham and Lot prospered and enlarged. In their blessings there was discord and they had to separate, and Abraham asked Lot to choose from the land before them. He said to Lot, if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Lot chose first, he lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere even as the garden of the Lord. Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other; as he pitched his tent towards Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. |
Genesis 19:1-38
2nd Peter 2:4-10
|
God showed restraint in the judgment of Lot’s days in Sodom. God visited Abraham in the form of a man (Jesus the Christ) and his two friends (angels), and while there he discussed the cry of Sodom and that He was going to visit and destroy the cities.
Abraham did intercede for his nephew and his household. He knew his nephew and his household worshiped with him in the past and knew some truths about God. Like today many of us hop on the fact that we have preached to our family members close and far. But the case of Lot showed how an environment of godlessness can corrupt a person’s faith, to disobey God’s instructions like Lot’s wife and his other children and inlaws taken by the lifestyle in Sodom and Gomorrah. God sent fire and hail and brimstone to destroy these cities and the inhabitants of it. And Lot’s wife disobeyed God’s instruction not to look back, but she did and was changed into a pillar of salt. God means business and that was a test run for the great tribulation judgment for those who are left behind to face. Don’t take the mark of the beast or worship his image. |
Genesis 19:24, “Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.”
Genesis 19:26, “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” |
Day 3
Rev. 14:9-10, “If any man worship the beast and his image and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand; Tha same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.”

The judgment in the antichrist’s day
Remember the song, “The fight is On.” |
Rev. 16:1-16
Rev. 11:3-12 Rev. 13:1-18 |
When God begins to bring his judgment on the unjust after the translation, it will be massive in that the two prophets from Jerusalem, the different angels on assignment and the voice out of the temple of God in heaven will bear down on the earth with diverse plagues. What chances are there for those left behind.
There will be drought, famine, diseases, serious hunger and thirst. But there will be no mercy especially if the antichrist persuades you to take his mark, or worship his image, or take the number of his name. Remember that no man may buy or sell without the antichrist identity associated with the mark 666. Satan will deceive many as Jesus Christ warned in Matt. 24:4-13. Today is the day of salvation, make your calling and election sure. Make your escape from all these solid by anchoring in Jesus Christ while the door is still open. For soon it will be shut. If you have secured yourself, what about your family members, friends and even your enemies; do you wish any one such evil on the earth. Warn them like the Lord and the prophets did in their days while judgment is still on the way. |
Rev. 19:1-21
Rev. 9:1-12 Ezekiel 38:19-23 |
We are talking about God’s wrath, who can stand. All the four elements of water, fire, wind storms, earthquakes and volcanic activities all come upon the people of the earth, without relenting. Why are all these occurring? Because people scorned the love of God to the whole world, in the person of Jesus Christ. God of love becomes God of judgment. It will be scary to keep it mild
Think and study Matt 24:21. This thing that is coming has never happened before and will never happen again. Why would you let yourself or your loved ones go through it and be lost. When you hear people say my loved ones, it is laughable, except you all are covered and are in the Lord Jesus Christ, through the blood of atonement by God himself is the person of Jesus Christ, the only sure place from the great tribulation. |
Rev. 19:20, “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
Rev. 16:2, “And there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worship his image.” |
Day 4
Hebrews 11:7, “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 which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

How Noah escaped judgment
Remember the song, “My Faith looks up to thee.” |
Genesis 6:14-22 | God was displeased with the people on the face of the earth in the days of Noah. But it did not start there. Noah’s days were the climax of man’s wickedness and violence of that generation. Examine Genesis 4:25-26; after Cain killed Abel, Eve had Seth. And no mention was made about men including Adam’s environment calling upon God. Maybe it was private but not a public declaration.
But when Seth had his own son Enos after a hundred and five years of age; the Bible declared that then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. God was preserving a remnant for himself. But things got worse and eventually God found a man perfect in Noah, ( Genesis 6:9). God also found some creatures that he judged worthy of joining Noah in the ark; The equivalent of the Lamb’s Book of Life. To enter the final ark of escape in the coming great tribulation, your name must be in the Lamb’s Book of Life from the beginning or the foundation of the world. Noah and his company escaped judgment because of the mercy of Go on righteous Noah. He believed the word of God as demonstrated by his faith in obeying God and building the ark, his family believed him. They were all tested by the ark. By how long it took to build the ark, by how can all these creature be found and chosen and brought to obey Noah and by the fact that it had never rained and this massive structure was on the ground and not on the river; also the must have contended with scoffers and mockers and even self doubt. But they passed the test by faith, and the ark sailed to safety and rested finally on mount Ararat in present day Turkey. |
Luke 21:7-36 | Jesus said in John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.”
Since the time of John the Baptist, until Jesus arrived, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force, (Matt. 11:12.). Jesus Christ is the door into the ark of salvation and safety, just as Noah entered the ark and his family and the creature approved by God and God shut the door. Have you truly found the door and have you entered the ark of salvation and safety? That is the only way to escape the coming tribulation judgment. Pray to be found faithful like righteous Noah. He was taken as righteous because he believed the word of God about the flood judgment. Today do you believe the coming fiery judgment? |
Genesis 7:1, “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.”
2nd Peter 2::5, “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” |
Day 5
2nd Peter 7-8, “And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: For that righteous man dwelling among them, seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.”

How Lot escaped judgment
Remember the song, “Standing on the Promises.” |
Genesis 18:17-33
Genesis 19:1-16 |
Lot’s deliverance started with the intercession of Abraham. When God told Abraham what was happening in Sodom and the judgment that was coming to it. He remembered his nephew and his family and the stories they were told about Uncle Noah; that when God says a thing He does it.
Abraham prayed to the Lord for mercy face to face, but the situation of Sodom was so bad that the Lord said to Abraham, you are talking about sparing Sodom for fifty righteous: if I find ten I will not destroy it. Abraham must have been very weary. His nephew had a large family including servants that it became necessary to separate and have more resources. Abraham, a man of faith must have brought up his nephew and all his household in the ways of the Lord. But Sodom had a great attraction for them, except vexed Lot, God had to come in person with two other men or angels or Moses and Elijah (remember mount transfiguration) It took the two men using supernatural display of power to hold unto Lot, his wife and two daughters and forcefully pull them out of Judgment in the presence of the Lord, with instruction not to look back, but not all obeyed the command, so only three obeyed and were saved. How many will be saved in your household? |
2nd Peter 2:6-22
Genesis 19:17-28 |
When you escape sin, do not leave a forwarding address, for future contact. Whatever sin that so easily besets you when you are delivered by the power of Christ Jesus, never go back like a pig or a dog to their past; it makes you allow the pig or dog spirit to get back into your life.
Obedience and faith in the Word of God helps save any one who will believe the promises of God. In Genesis 19:18-22, Lot called Him Lord (only by the Holy Ghost). Then Lot said to the Lord, behold now thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown unto me in saving my live – – let me escape to this small city that is near instead of the mountains and my soul shall live. “And the Lord accepted Lot’s plea concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.” God is merciful to those that seek him. Seek him early so that He may be found and save you. |
2nd Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”
Genesis 19:17, “That He said, “Escape for thy life; look no behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.”
Luke 17:32, “Remember Lot’s wife.” |
Day 6
Psalm 119:49, “Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.”

How the saints escaped judgment
Remember the song, “I’ll meet you in the morning.” |
Rev. 13;8-9
John 3:1-18 Mark 16:16 Acts 2:36-39 1st Thess. 4:13-18 |
Here the judgments considered are apocalyptic or near to it.
The saints of old starting with Enoch, escaped judgment because it is recorded that he by faith was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God, (Heb.11:5, Gen. 5:24). He knew that the flood was coming and prophetically called his son Methuselah; meaning in the year of the flood or when Methuselah dies that would be a sign that the flood of judgment of Noah, his grandson will come to pass. So by translation Enoch was gone before the Flood.
Noah also escaped the judgment of the flood by faith, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear (obedience), prepared an ark to the saving of his house: by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Abraham walked with God and only saw Sodom from afar and judgment engulfed it and the surrounding cities. Lot was saved as by fire, pulling him out of judgment by God’s physical angelic intervention because Abraham interceded. |
1st Peter 1:1-25
Rev. 12:11-17 Rev. 20:1-15 1st John 3:1-3 |
The righteous dead that were in the same vicinity with hell below as Paradise and hell were beneath the earth; were delivered from beneath and taken up on high to the heavens when Jesus died on the Cross and rose the third day. In those 3 days he preached to spirits in prison (Study 1st Peter 3:18-22; Psalm 68:18 and Ephesians 4:10)
That is why in Rev. 1: 18, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” The translation of the elect in 1st Thess. 4:13-18, is the surest way of escaping judgment of God. But you must be saved first, and your name must be in the Lambs book of life from the beginning. Others will go through the great tribulation and many killed and martyred for Christ. They overcame the beast by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.. |
Psalm 50:5-6, “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.”
Zechariah 8:16-17, “These are the things that ye shall do; Speak every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. And none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.” |
Day 7
Hebrews 11:13-14, “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.” Verse 39-40, “And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”

Some people are a sign and mercy of God; Adam, Methuselah; Noah and the translation saints.
Remember the song, “Draw me nearer.” |
Genesis 1:26-31;
Genesis 2:7-25; Genesis 3:1-24 Genesis 5:24 1st Corinth. 15:50-58 |
God showed mercy on Adam and took him before the judgment of the flood, if you calculate his years. Also God told Adam saying, you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. For in the day you eat of it ye shall surely die.
He died spiritually, immediately but his physical life continued till he was 960 years. Yet, remember 2nd Peter 3:8, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So you can see that Adam died the same day that he sinned; even though he lived for 960 years, it was still within one day. Also the flood of Noah occurred within one day from the creation of Adam on record. Both Enoch, Noah, Lot and Elijah are all signs to this last generation, because Jesus Christ while on earth referenced them. He said like in the days of Naoh and like in the days of Lot; the prophecies are upon this generation. Are you ready? |
Genesis 5:1-5;
Genesis 5: 8-32 2 Kings 2:8-14. Acts 1:1-11 1st Thess. 4:13-18 |
Methuselah, as the meaning of his name was, “the year of the flood”, was noteworthy. God told Enoch about the flood and got him to name his son Methusalah which also was a clear warning and the mercy of God. God was saying the year Methuselah dies the flood that will judge the world would come.
If you were looking for a sign before you repent God gave them the year but how many believed, repented and were converted. The same is happening today with all the biblical signs given, yet man is bent on going against God. What else can God do? God took Adam and Eve out before the flood, also Methuselah was the sign, by the meaning of his name. Also Noah and his household were preserved in the ark, during the flood. |
Genesis 5:1, “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.”
Genesis 6::5, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 5:13, “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.” |
