"In the Days of Noah and Lot"
Main reference: Mt 24:37-39, Lk 17:26-30
What is the day of Jesus’ Second Coming which is like the days of Noah and Lot?
Noah is the 9th generation descendant of Adam. That era was a period when all mankind were destroyed by the flood, but only 8 people —Noah and his three sons together with their wives—were saved (Gn 6:13-22, 7:11-24, 1 Pt 3:20). Lot is the 11th generation descendant of Noah and the nephew of Abraham who is the 10th generation descendant of Noah. In the days of Lot, a city was destroyed by fire and only 3 people—who are Lot and his family—were saved (Rv 19).
It was the generation of Adam who were destroyed in the days of Noah (Gn 6 and 7) because of their sin; and also, it was sin that led to destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Rv 18, Rv 19).
Jesus doubted that he would find faith on earth when he comes (at the Second Coming) (Lk 18:8). Apostle Paul said the Lord would come after the sequence of events of betrayal and destruction. (1 Thes 2:1-4) In Mt 24:29-31, the Lord will come after the temple of Jerusalem is destroyed, as if the sun, moon and stars of heaven are darkened and fall down to the earth. And as written in Rv 13, the saints of God’s tabernacle will be destroyed by the group of the dragon, receive the mark of the beast of the dragon, and worship them. These are the events of Jesus’s Second Coming, which is the end of Spiritual Israel which has existed since the time of Jesus’ First Coming. He has warned us that there will be an event like the days of Noah (Mt 24:37-39, Lk 17:26-30).
Jesus who came as the light (Jn 12:46) said that it is day when he is in the world; however the night will come when Jesus leaves. (Jn 9:4) After Jesus left, the Catholic Church was established in the name of Jesus. However, its corruption caused the Protestants to appear. Not only that, hundreds of religious groups have appeared in this world claiming to believe in God. It is said approximately 80% of ongoing wars in the world are caused by religious conflict between these religious groups.
Can it be said the world is less sinful today than in the days of Noah and Lot? In the days of Noah, all people were destroyed. And in the days of Lot, an entire city was destroyed. If we look upon the world today, there are more than enough weapons to destroy the two mentioned above. However, can it be said that believers or nonbelievers are more righteous than the people in the days of Noah and Lot? They seem to be more sinful and less faithful than those who lived in the days of Noah and Lot. Isn’t it a reality that both the world of religion and politics see evil as righteous and righteous as evil? Because many religious leaders are politically involved, and many politicians are religious as well, they won't believe nor be afraid even if God and Jesus come. This is the reality. When all nations of the world believe in the truth except Korea, Korea like the city of the days of Lot will only be destroyed. Who will they blame? It will be a mistake for those who have chosen evil, not believing in the righteous.
In the days of Noah and Lot, the price that people paid for not listening to the word was destruction. If God, Jesus and the kingdom of heaven come to Korea, Korea will be God’s kingdom of heaven. However, if the people of Korea do not receive this fact, the kingdom of God will be taken away from them and be given to another country with faith just as it is recorded in Matthew 21:33-43. This is attributable to the sins of unrighteous of religious leaders and politicians.
Korea still indulges in persecution and mockery as in the days of Noah and Lot.
If people only loved power and money without knowing the meaning of the Bible and God’s will, they would be distanced from God. The New Testament of the Bible is fulfilled according to the promises. At the time of judgment, people will be judged according to what they had done as recorded in the Bible (Rv 20:12).
