Scripture Reading:
Matthew 24:37-42
In Matthew 24:37-42, we
are told that conditions on the earth prior to the Lord's coming will
be similar to those inNoah's day. The record in Genesis 6:5-7 states
that "the thoughts of men's hearts were only evil continually"
and "God repented that He had made man." An honest
appraisal of present day morals must conclude that we are fast
heading in the same direction.
To the Lord's people,
however, it is a comforting thought that when evil has reached it's
zenith, God always calls a halt. It was so in Noah's day. While the
multitude of people were "eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage," completely indifferent to their eternal
welfare, suddenly the flood came and "took them all away."
Only Noah and his family were spared because they had entered the
ark. Those who were "taken" died in the flood.
"So shall the coming
of the Son of Man be" said the Lord Jesus Christ." Then
shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and
the other left."Taken where? Not to Heaven, as is sometimes
taught, but into udgment. The one who is left will go into the
millennial kingdom which Christ will have come to establish.
To God's people in this
age, the Apostle Paul, by revelation, tells of a secret coming of
Christ (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51, 52). Then,
instead of being "taken away," members of the Body of
Christ will be "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air and
"so shall we ever be with the Lord." How wonderful to haw
this blessed hope of being "caught up" and not "taken
away"! It can be yours in Christ.
