A Closer Look At The Rapture

with little success. Much of the world lives in constant fear,
while the rest of it is either in ignorance of world events or is
trying to forget by means of pleasure, frantic activity or
drugs. The outlook certainly is dark to say the least, from the
viewpoint of the natural man.
In the midst of all this, where is God? What is He doing
about the situation? Thanks be to God, He is right on time
with His program of deliverance. Nothing has gotten out of
hand for Him. Everything is moving right along on schedule.
For you see, God is preparing a vessel of deliverance for His
people, and a means of judgment for His enemies. Exactly as
He did in the days of Noah. Jesus spoke some powerful
words in Matthew chapter 24 concerning the last days and
the time of His return. Let's read Matt. 24:36-39...
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only. BUT AS THE DAYS OF
NO'E WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF
MAN BE. For as in the days that were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that No'e entered into the ark, And knew not
UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME, AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
Look at this scripture closely. Jesus is saying the last days
will bear a marked similarity to the days in which Noah lived.
All most folks think about is that back then they were eating
and drinking and getting married. Well, that was going on
long before Noah's day and has been going on ever since.
Some think that as it was in Noah's day, some were taken
and some were left, and they want to be taken. You'd better
hope not, for it was not righteous Noah and his sons that
were taken. They were left behind to inherit the new earth.
It was the wicked who were "taken away". Most of our bookfed
theologians who have no divine revelation on the Word
are teaching the people to pray that they will be "taken when
Jesus comes". Take another look at Matthew 24.
The thing that interests me about Noah's day is not what the
wicked were doing, but WHAT WAS GOD DOING? He was not
idle. In the days just before the flood, God was busy
