Genesis 6:11-12 NKJV
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
You can't open the news without being confronted with some violence or corruption. It's increasing day on day.
Violence in our movies and computer games, corruption in our politics, judiciary and police.
How do you think God views it?
In Noah's day it was like it and God decided "enough is enough"!
So, we do well to recall Jesus' warning:
Matthew 24:37 NKJV
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Only Noah gave any thought to God, but most carelessly thought only evil all the time.
They were unprepared and caught unawares when the flood came.
How many couldn't care less about Jesus' offer of Salvation, brandishing their atheism as a badge of honour?
How many stand on the brink of destruction without any thought of eternity?
A careless, callous world is ripe for judgement.
We need to be awake and alert to the signs of the times - as in Matthew 24:
Matthew 24:38-39 NKJV
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, [39] and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
