Luke 17:-26-30 # 7 PROPHCEY 8-6-11
Today if the Lord be willing we’ll continue with our subject of Prophecies. Listen as I read today’s text found in:
Luke 17:-26-30 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all ------
Likewise also {same as} as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Here in our text the Lord Jesus gives details about what the conditions in the world would be like just before He returns.
It will be as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. And let me say that we don’t have to have some kind of masters degree in theology to understand that we’re now in these days, with each passing day becoming worse and worse as we see the sodomites holding many political positions in our government that Obama has installed.
• The Lord highlights two major signs of the end here in our text:
He will come suddenly when people do not expect Him to return. Most people will be going about their normal activities, unaware of the times, -- when He returns, society will be degenerate and wicked just as it was before the Flood and before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Genesis 6:5-8 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD
=====================================================================
• I want to change our thought direction here just long enough to say something about these
words we read in Gen.6:6 to do with God repenting, and this is from Brother Wayne Jackson that I discovered while putting this together, he says---There are several figures of speech in the Bible that accommodate the human level of understanding.
One is to do with (the form of man), that is where physical features are ascribed to God, such as, the eyes of the Lord (1 Pet. 3:12), Jehovah’s arm (Jn. 12:38), etc. These depict God’s watchfulness and his power to you and me so we can understand it better.
There is another figure called (mans feeling), whereby human emotions are sometimes attributed to God. To say, that God “repented,” or that he was “grieved,” is only a symbolic way of asserting that man’s conduct did not meet the divine standard. This language portrays from a human perspective, God’s displeasure at mans rebellion in Gen.6:
• Brother Wayne Jackson continues to say:
First, let us demonstrate what the passage cannot mean. It does not mean that God created the human family, expecting that it would remain loyal to him, but that, eventually, humanity strayed. The Lord was then disappointed, and so regretted he had made us. That cannot be the meaning for the following reasons.
1. God is omniscient; that means he knows everything. “Great is our Lord, and mighty in
power; his understanding is infinite” (Psa. 147:5). If the Lord’s understanding is infinite, he must have known, before he created man that he would fall.
This is further evidenced by the fact that the plan of salvation was purposed before humanity was created. Paul affirms that God “chose us in [Christ] before the foundation of the world,” and that our redemption was “through [Jesus’] blood” (Eph. 1:4,7; cf. 1 Pet. 1:2; Rev. 13:8).
Since the sacrifice for human sin was provisioned even before the world was created, it necessarily follows that our Creator knew we would transgress long before Adam and Eve were placed in Eden.
God would no longer be longsuffering with such widespread wickedness.
Repented does not imply that God made a mistake in His dealings with men, but rather indicates a change in divine direction resulting from the actions of man.
=====================================================================
Now then let’s get back to our text in Luke 17:26-30
Luke 17:-26-30 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all ------
Likewise also {same as} as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
• The Lord highlights two major signs of the end here in our text:
He will come suddenly when people do not expect Him to return. Most people will be going about their normal activities, unaware of the times, -- when He returns, society will be degenerate and wicked just as it was before the Flood and before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Homosexuals now feel greatly empowered with an openly supportive President in the White House.
It seems obvious to me that God is with drawing His hand of blessings from this nation, and not only do we have the homosexuals openly revealing their sins but we have an administration in power now that has given a cold shoulder to Israel, what can any society expect God to do? He told Abraham in Gen.12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee,--
-----------------------------------------
Listen I want to read to you a news letter that I’ve recently received from “THE PROPHETIC OBSERVER” from Brother Noah Hutchins of SouthWest Radio Church out of Oklahoma, this is to do with Obama and his homosexual agenda, and let me say before I begin reading that I’m reading you this to show all of us what hour we’re in on God’s prophet calendar, I think you’ll have to say that we are certainly close to the rapture of the church.
“QUOTE”
“One of the first official acts of Barack Obama upon becoming president of the united states was to issue a proclamation designating June, the traditional month of brides, as LGBT (or homosexual) Month. According to Obama this was done to honor this minority segment of the U.S. population 1.7 percent) as this nation’s most important citizens.
The full text of the proclamation was carried in June 27, 2009, edition of “Sanfrancisco Pride”
• The reason for dedicating a month to honor homosexuals was-stated in the opening sentence:
LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender] Americans have made and continue to make great and lasting contri-butions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society; LGBT Americans have mobilized the nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic, and played a vital role in broadening the country’s response in the HIV epidemic.
This opening statement regarding the actual role homosexuals have played in U.S. history and the president’s appraisal of their alerting other citizens to the need of solving the AIDS curse on humanity is beyond rational comprehension.
Obama’s narcissistic mindset aims to change the truth into a lie and a lie into the truth. It is a known fact that AIDS was first recognized as a new disease in 1981, when a number of young gay men in New York and Los Angles were diagnosed with symptoms not usually seen in individuals with healthy immune systems. Originally named GRIDS for GAY RELATED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROM, AIDS is mainly transmitted through sexual activity and has already caused the death of hundreds of millions of people world wide.
In his book Real Change, Newt Gengrich shares-that with in three counties in Florida, AIDS victims hit Medicare for over $480 million in just six months. Evidence indicates that AIDS victims are bankrupting Medicare and robbing senior citizens of this insurance for which they have paid through salary deductions.
------
• The president continues in the next section of his homosexual proclamation:
I am proud to be the first president to appoint LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public service.
The fact is that the Senate complained that Obama was appointing "czars" without confirmation. The record also indicates that he has appointed over 150 homosexuals to high government offices with administrative responsibilities. It is difficult to name anyone in the new administration who is not a homosexual
--------
• As to future plans for the homosexual segment of the population, the president continued:
“ My administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world . .. These measures include supporting civil unions . . . ensuring adoption rights, and ending existing "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" policies in a way that strengthens the armed forces and national security.”
Mr. Obama admits, or professes, that he is not just a member of the Democratic Party, but he is also a member of the LGBT Party and that he will work to accomplish all homosexual goals while in office.
======================================================
There’s more but I think that’s enough for all to see that wants to see that our country is in big trouble with God. He said in
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
• What has God said already about such as this, do you think He has changed His mind?
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Paul includes lesbianism in the condemnation:
Romans 1:26 For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature--
1st cor.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, --- shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
When a nation descends into perversions like homosexuality, its decline accelerates, its fibers weaken and it becomes ripe for disaster, either natural or political/militarily.
If the leadership of a nation participates in these perversions, the immorality spreads like a cancer among the people, accelerating the collapse.
And because the leaders are already perverted personally, they make immoral and unwise decisions regarding the nation’s direction and conditions grow worse.
2nd tim.3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
The founding fathers of this nation would turn over in their graves if they only knew what’s going on here now, at one time we were ONE NATION UNDER GOD but that no longer is true, Obama himself said that America is no longer a Christian only nation.
we must get rid of this corrupt administration and pray that God will send revival to our land, now I realize that God puts up kings and takes down kings in order to carry out His last day plans, I only hope and pray that He will allow us to try and straighten out our nation, we have become the arm pit of the world, nations used to look to the United States as a leading and up right nation but it’s swiftly headed in the other direction, who would have ever thought that our nation would end up being the biggest debtor nation in the world?, our politicians through under handed dealings and for filthy lucre has sent our jobs over seas, hardly nothing is made here any longer, name me a few, I’M from South Carolina and this part of the country was at one time called the Textile Center of the world, now most of out textile plants are closed down, the owners could not compete with cheap imported cloth, thanks to our out standing politicians, this nation has made China the rich country that it is today, China, India and other countries are now making our cloth, I’m not belittling any of these countries they did what was right for their country.
And I also think that because of our allowing any and all foreign religions to come into our country and build their Mosque’s and all the other religions that are not of God has caused most of our problems, all this is an insulate too the True and Living Jehovah, and remember that He said that He is a jealous God.
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:--I realize He said that to His chosen people Israel, but we are also Gods children today if we’re saved.
Prov.1:29-31 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
I have a heavy heart because of all this ungodliness we have on ever hand, most of our leaders don’t realize what’s going on it has come so subtly, that’s the way the devil works, just sit tight all is well is his message, we must expose his lies and the agents he has working for him knowingly and unknowingly.
