Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened (Matthew 24:32-34

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? (Matthew 24:35-45).

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' (Mark 13:33-37)

What do you see around us that reminds you of the days of Noah?

Gen 6:13 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.

Hbr 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 the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Is violence "filling" the earth?

WILL THE RIGHTOUS BE TAKEN THROUGH THE TRIBULATION AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, OR WILL THE RIGHTOUS BE TAKEN UP BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

Are these things "filling" the earth?

No respect for life
drive by shootings
mothers killing their own infant children
parents killing their children
children killing parents
no real accountability, itâ??s lawlessness
people being married and divorced multiple times
people doing what was right in their own eyes
abortion
terrorism
rape
robbery
assault
mass murder
suicides
torture
kill homeless for entertainment
corruption
etc............

Prov 4:17-19 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.â??

Prov 21:7 â??The violence of the wicked will destroy them, because they refuse to do justice.â??

Psalms 11:5, â??The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.â??

Did Noah go through what the wicked endured?

NOPE. HE WAS PROTECTED BY OBEYING THE WORD HE HEARD FROM THE LORD.

Anymore questions?

IS FAITH IN JESUS THE NEXT ARK?

SO THERE WILL BE A PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE?

WILL THE GREAT TRIBULATION START BEFORE THE YEAR 2100 CONSIDERING THAT THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS AWAY?

We are not appointed to wrath. We will be covered by Jesus. Think of the time lambs blood was put on the doorways to protect Israel when God had the plagues go through the land in Egypt. In both ofthese situations, the flood and the plagues, they was here but they were protected. I think that is why some people think we will go through tribulation. If that is so we will be protected.

However people say the bible does not mention anything about rapture. If one was to get that technical, it doesn't say anything about smoking or other things specifically either, yet we know smoking would fall under not being profitable for someone to do.

"For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

"Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we all shall be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye..." 1 Corinthians 15:51

Jesus is coming back to get his bride. In the old days, a man went out bought land and built his future bride a house. When everything was ready, he went back to where she was a took her home. He did not go back and say, I just came back to let you know the house is ready but you have to hang out here for a couple years with all the violence going on around all these women who did not want to marry me.

Ed Hindson made reference to scripture in Revelation which supports the Rapture. It settled things once and for all for me about the Rapture. I will try to find it again.

I do not know the generation. Some think it is 120 years after God brought Israel back in 1948. Not even the angels know when, just God knows.

Here they are. It is speaking about the bride,the Lamb's wife. We know the Lamb means Jesus and the bride is His church. Shecan not descend out of heaven unless she was raptured up before that.

Rev 21:9 ¶ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

WOW. YOU ARE GOOD. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOUR.

Praise the Lord, His word has satisfied you.

Who knows when the rapture will occur. Jesus says that even He doesn't know - it's up to the Father. My opinion is that it's more productive to concentrate on being a good GzusThug, a good father to your little boy. There are so many interpretations of prophecy. Just look for the rapture, prepare for it, make sure your son goes with you to Heaven.
