Luke 17:26
Before the flood of waters came upon the earth it is said that for 120 years the same message was sounded in their ears, warning them to repent lest the wrath of God be manifested in their destruction but the message seemed idle to them and they believed it not. It is said many who knew Noah regarded him as an insane old folk who needed something to do, which is basically the same way the world looked at Mr Miller when he preached the first angels message and many who lived at that time died knowing the truth but having not accepted the truth to transform them and set them free.
Christ declares that there will exist similar unbelief concerning His second coming. As the people of Noah’s day “knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24: 39
We are been given a warning: ” Take heed yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life so that the day may come upon you unawares”, “Watch ye therefore and pray always, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things…”
