Take your Bibles now and turn
with me to Genesis chapter 6. I want us to look tonight primarily
at these first four verses of Scripture. And it came to pass when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were
born unto them, But the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair, and they took them wives of all which
they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit
shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh. Yet his days shall be an hundred
and twenty years. There were giants in the earth
in those days and also after that when the sons of God came
in unto the daughters of men and they bared children to them,
the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Now I want us to look tonight
at these first four verses with this subject in mind, the days
before the flood. This is a brief description of
the days before the flood. This is what God's telling us
about here. These are the times he's describing. Now, you might ask yourself,
why consider such an ancient text? Why? What difference does
it make, what happened before the flood? What difference does
it make with what happened after ten generations from Adam? Well,
turn with me to Matthew chapter 24. Why should we dig into something
that happened so many thousands of years ago? Well, I believe
several reasons. First of all, because there is
a line drawn from our day and from our time to that time in
the Scriptures. Look here in Matthew chapter
24 beginning with verse 37. But as the days of Noah were,
So shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." Whatever was
taking place in that day is going to be taking place in that day
just before the coming of the Lord. That is what he is saying
here. For as in the days that were before the flood, they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until
the day that Noah 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. He takes that pencil, he draws
that line, and he says, as it was then, it will be here. So I see a line drawn. And then
secondly, why look at this ancient text? Because God has preserved
it in His Word. You know, folks, I've heard men
talk about things. They used to tell me in the little
church I used to go to before I knew anything at all about
the Gospel or knew the truth, they used to tell me that the
revealed things, they were for you, but there's something secret
in the Word of God that's not for us, like predestination and
anything that they didn't know anything about was a secret thing
and you weren't to study it or know anything about it. But Paul
tells young Timothy in 2 Timothy chapter 3, he said all Scripture
is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. All of it. Nothing in here that's not profitable
to you. Now, it can't be a profit to
you until you understand it. But it's put in there for your
profit. It's by inspiration of God, and
it's profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness that the man of God, nobody else,
is not going to do that unbeliever He can read that book and memorize
that book and quote that book, but it won't be of any profit
to him. But the man of God might be thoroughly furnished unto
all good works. He's going to see it. It's his
inheritance. It's his bread God prepared for
him. He's going to open it and eat
it and digest it and rejoice in it and understand it. So I
see a line connecting our day to their day, and I see it as
preserved for my benefit in the Word of God. And then thirdly,
I'm plainly told that we are, just like that antediluvian world,
headed for a sure and certain doom. This world is headed for
judgment. It's headed for judgment. Now,
look with me over in 2 Peter 3. This is an interesting chapter.
Peter talks a lot about Noah. He talks about him in his first
epistle. He has a lot to say about Noah.
But this is what I want you to see here in 2 Peter, and I'm
going to read the whole chapter for you. He says in 2 Peter 3, verse 1,
this second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you, in both
which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance, that you
may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy
prophets. That is, Old Testament scriptures.
And of the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and
Savior, that's the New Testament scriptures. That's these epistles
like I'm reading from. Verse 3, knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days. That's what we're
talking about, the last days. Scoffers walking after their
own lust and saying, where's the promise of his coming? For
since the Fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of creation." That's what they say. Where is
this coming? Where is it at? Why should I
worry? Nothing's happening. I don't
see anything happening. I don't see any big signs of
judgment. I don't see the sky falling. Where's the problem? What's the urgency? Now listen,
verse 5, for this, they are willingly ignorant of. that by the word
of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of
the water and in the water, whereby the world that then was being
overflowed with water perished. They were ignorant of the God
who could and did destroy the world." That's what Peter's saying.
You're willingly ignorant of this. It's written, it's preserved,
It's right here. It's a matter of historical fact
written and preserved by the prophets and kept for you to
read. Ignorant of the God who could
and did destroy the world. You're ignorant of why he did
it. And you're ignorant about what that destruction has to
do with us. He said you're ignorant. This
is what you're willingly ignorant of or you wouldn't talk that
way. But the heavens and the earth which are now by the same
word are kept in store, reserved under fire against the day of
judgment and prediction of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant
of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as a day. Time has no bearing on
God. The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count slackness. That is what they
are saying. Where is the Lord? Where is His
coming? Where is all this stuff? Peter said, just don't get excited.
Don't get excited. The Lord is not slack concerning
His purpose, His promise, as some men count slackness. But
He is longsuffering to us for it. That is why He is waiting.
He has a people, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will
come. as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with
a fervent heat, and the earth also, and the works therein shall
be burned up. Seeing then that all these things
shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in
all holy conversation and godliness? Looking for, and hastening unto
the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with
a fervent heat. Nevertheless, according to his
promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth
righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found
of him in peace without spot and blameless, and account that
the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation." You look at this
longsuffering a little different than the world does. You look
at this long-suffering a lot different than what these scoffers
are saying about it. We look at that long-suffering
and he said, and you count it salvation. You count it salvation. Even as our beloved brother Paul,
also according to the wisdom given him, hath written unto
you. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing that ye know these things before,
beware, lest ye also, now listen, Lest ye also," now he's going
to draw a circle around them, these scoffers, and he's going
to take it right back to the days of Noah. Now watch this,
"...lest ye also, being led away with the air of the wicked, fall
from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace and in knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both
now and forever." As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it
also be in the coming of the Son of Man." Describing these
things. It was a day of compromise. Look
back here to Genesis chapter 6. A day of compromise. Look at verses 1 and 2. And I'm
just going to give you a brief commentary of these verses as
we go. I don't have a particular subject other than I want you
to see what these days were and how those days apply to our days. This is what I want you to see.
I think this is so important. And it came to pass when man
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were
born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair, and they took them wives of all which
they chose. This is not talking about every,
he's not talking about the general population of the world. What
he's saying here is that as the world began to fill up full of
people, that's not what he's saying. What he's saying here,
he's defining here and giving you a genealogy of believers. This book is preserved to talk
to you about the sacrifice of Christ. about that lineage, about
that promise, about that redemption, about the things of the children
of God, their inheritance and so on. He could care less about
the population of this world. He's talking about believers
here. And what he's telling you is that when these unbelievers
begin to multiply and fill the world up, and the believers begin
to diminish and begin to just be a little band here and a little
band there, just like it is in our day. He's describing then,
in these words, exactly what we're seeing in our day. You
can't go downtown and find another Grace Church. You can't hardly
go in Arkansas and find another Grace Church. And if you head
out west, you're in trouble. You're not going to find anything
until you hit water. Just a little band here, and
a little band there, and a little group here, and a little group
there. When these men began to multiply, where did they come
from? Well, they're sons of Cain. They're
his descendants. Were they mixed with these other
families? You bet. You bet. No doubt in
my mind. Seth had children that went over
and married him with the family of Cain. And right on down the
line, every one of them had daughters and sons that went over here
and intermarried in with these people and were taken away from
the gospel, taken away from the things of God just as Cain did
when he left the first time. Went over there in the land of
Nod, in that land with no sacrifice, in that land with no truth, no
presence of God, and passed that junk down to their children and
their children's children until they began to multiply and fill
up the earth. with their ignorance and darkness
and religious hypocrisy and just filled it up. And then here are these believers over
here, these sons, sons of these men that he gives us the genealogy
of here. And they are looking around and
to find a wife. Where are you going to find a wife? You are
a believer in this church. Where are you going to find a
wife? Well, you're going to be hard pressed to find one here.
Where are you going to go? You're going to have to go to
Houston. You're going to have to go to Danville. You're going to have
to go to wherever. You're going to have to go to
Michigan or somewhere. You're going to have to go somewhere
where somebody is preaching the things of God and sit there until
God joins you with a wife. Now, that's the situation these
men were in. Meanwhile, at work, in the field,
in the brickyard, whatever it was that they worked at. They
looked around and here's these daughters of men. And they're
not like these believing daughters. These believing daughters are
conservative and modest and reserved and they're not like these unbelieving
daughters. These unbelievers have daughters
and they don't dress like that. They dress enticing. They dress
to excite men's passions and lusts. They go to the parties. They go to picture shows. They
go to the dances. They flirt where a conservative
woman might hold her peace and not say, these girls, they flirt. They talk. They're not like these
believing women. And they look on them and they
lust after them. And they're excited by them.
And so they say, well, it's not going to hurt anything if I marry
her. I'll just bring her back to our church and Saturday she'll
learn the truth. But that ain't what happened.
They married these women and these women pulled them away,
pulled their hearts away from God. I'm going to show you something. Turn with me to Exodus chapter
34. I'm going to show you how I arrived at that conclusion. This is taught all the way through
the Word of God. Look here in Exodus 34, verse 15. Now, he's warning them. He's
warning them about these nations here in Canaan. And listen to
what he says, "...lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land, and they go a-whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice
unto their gods. And one called thee, and thou
eat his sacrifice. And thou takest their daughters
unto thy sons, And their daughters go a-whoring after their gods,
and make thy sons go a-whoring after their gods. Now, that's
what's going to happen. Now, I'm going to give you a
big shot. Turn with me to 1 Kings 11. Now, this is a man who wrote a lot of scripture. This is a prophet of God. This
is what it says. But King Solomon, verse 1, 1
Kings chapter 11. But King Solomon loved many strange
women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites,
Amorites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites. of the nations
concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel,
Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you.
For surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.
Solomon claimed unto these in love, and he had seven hundred
wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wife
turned away his heart." And you finish that chapter out, and
I'm telling you, it's something to read. It's something to read. This man of God, wise man, more
wise than any other man, here he is, God's prophet, and he's
going up and building groves to these idols, and he's falling
down before them and offering sacrifice to these strange gods.
Why? Because he didn't listen to God.
And he went off and intermingled with these unbelieving women. And they drawed him away. They
drawed away his heart after their gods. And that's what was going
on before the flood. That's what was taking place
down here before this flood. This world was left to themselves,
to their own evil imaginations, to their own reasoning and understanding
about God and spiritual matters. And God very clearly drawed a
line of revelation and godly presence at the altar of Abel.
And then with his brother Seth and Enos, he went a little further
and he gathered these men into groups and they began to call
on him as a specific God. They began to call on his name. You read that down at the end
of chapter 4. And then on down, he confirmed his ministry with
strong preaching through Enoch. You can read about his ministry
over in the book of Jude. Strong preaching through the
book of Enoch. He rebuked them, these ungodly
men with their ungodly accusations and ungodly lives and ungodly
habits. He rebuked them sharply. And
God confirmed his love for him and his interest in him and him
as his witness in this earth and took him home to glory to
be with him. He took him home. It was understood by these and
confirmed through Enoch and on down through these faithful men
stood and preached the gospel to this world. Jude declares
plainly the way of Cain and the ministry of Enoch, and he declares
plainly how men influenced and carried away from that gospel
altar. They were carried away by all
different kinds of means. But one of the main means was
this, that they intermingled and married and had covenants
and fellowship. And when he says covenants, he
is talking about contracts. Do you know in 2 Corinthians
chapter 6 that Paul forbids us to have contracts with worldly
men? It's ungodly. And it's going
to end in disaster. I don't care who you are. I don't
care what the reason is. You're a believer and you go
out here and you say, well, let's start us up a business. And you
go put your arm around him and you go into business. You love
God and this man don't know God. You walk by a certain rules and
regulations and commandments of God and a set pattern before
you, and you love God, this man don't. And you're not going to
get along. You're going to butt heads. And
you go marry this woman, and this woman don't believe what
you believe. Now, I'm not talking about unbelievers who the Lord
saves one and passes by the other. I'm not talking about that. I'm
not even talking about a young believer somewhere in a little
group of men who didn't know anybody and went out and married
one. I'm talking about believers who know better saying, well,
it'll be alright, I'll go do it anyway. Huh? That's what I'm
talking about. It's forbidden. And I'm telling
you it's going to wind up in disaster. I couldn't tell you
how many times and how many examples I could tell you tonight of men
whose lives have just been ruined, just ruined by it. To covenant in any way with unbelieving
world's trouble. And it's troubled because of
their influence and their power. Now, here's something else I
want you to see over here in Genesis chapter 6. He said in verse 4, there were
giants in the earth in those days. And now watch. And he connects that. And he
said, And also after that, when the sons of God came in unto
the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, The same
became mighty men which were of old men of renown. Now, I
don't believe when he's talking about giants here that he's necessarily
talking about giants of stature like the sons of Anak. Now, we
know that there was giants in the land. Goliath was a giant. Sons of Anak were giants. Possibly
these men were giants. But the fact of their stature
is not what he's pointing out here. These men of stature, these
giants, were no doubt intimidating, conquering men who went out by
force and took authority and made their fortunes among men
through intimidation, the same way they do today. But what he
is talking about more than anything here is that these men being
established in power and political influence. You see, you don't
read anything at all in the Scriptures about any of the sons of Seth
Or any of these other sons doing anything, do you? Look back here. Here's something I skipped the
other day when I was talking to you in Genesis chapter 4.
Look back here. It says in verse 18, and on to
Enoch. Now, this is the son of Cain.
We're not talking about the same Enoch that was translated. This
is Cain's Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad,
and Irad begat Mahugiel, and Mahugiel begat Methuselah, and
Methuselah begat Lamech, and Lamech took unto him two wives.
The name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was
Zilah. And Ada bared Jubal. He was the father of such as
dwell in tents, and such as had cattle. He was a farmer. He was
a cattle baron, you might say. He went out and he had no competition. He was the first one. He was
the father of it. He had cattle. And he made his fortune with
it. And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all
such as handled the harp and the organ. And Zilah, she also
bared Tubal Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and
iron, and so on. And so here's what the Lord's
telling us here, that these men, godly men, Godly sons, people
who know God, they're not out here to make a name for themselves.
They're not interested in going out here and being a Sam Walton. They're not interested in going
out here and making millions and millions of dollars. They
go and they do what the Lord ordered them to do in the garden.
They work with their hands, and they go out and they make a living.
Some of them are brilliant men. Some of them are. Some of them
are businessmen, but very few. The Lord said, look at your calling.
There are not many noble, not many mighty are called. They're
mostly just common working people. And they go out here and they're
not interested in making a fortune. That's why there's not many of
them that have all these degrees and things. They know what's
going on. They know the Lord's going to
burn this world up and everything in it. They're not interested
in it. They go out here and they work with their hands and they
work through their lives and they sacrifice and worship God
and wait for His promise. That's what to do. But not these
men of the world. These men of the world are inventive,
creative. They're out to make a fortune.
They're out to make business. They're out to make a name for
themselves. And these men had potential, and they had power,
and they had influence, and they had all this. So these sons of
God were not only lusting after the women in a physical sense,
but hey, his daddy's mayor. His daddy's the king. His daddy
runs the plant. He owns the farm. His daddy's
got money and influence. So I get a twofer. I get what
I want and what I desire, and this woman at the same time,
I get all the influence and I get all this too. I get all these
things. You see where he's going with
this thing? He's talking that these men were drawn away by
their lust not only for women, but their lust for power and
their lust for all these other things, success and influence
and all these things. Their love for the world was
drawing them away. And what do you see today? I'm drawing you a picture of
this day and that day. And that's exactly what was going
on. Exactly what was going on. And the Scripture, it's full
of warnings, full of warnings, full of warnings. I could just
take you through so many of them that talk about it. The days before the flood were
days of compromise. Godly men taking to themselves
ungodly women. Being as I read to you a while
ago over in 2 Peter 3, 17, it says they were led away. with
the air of the wicked. And then these giants, these
giants of men, whether they were captains of industry or men of
wealth or men of stature and of wealth, I don't know. It doesn't
really make any difference, does it? A fella I used to work for,
he's a big man, intimidating man, but he's also a wealthy
man and an influential man. So maybe that's what he's describing
to us here. I don't know. But I do know this. Men lusted after it. They wanted
it. They desired it. They saw some potential to it.
And so they let down their guard on these things of God. And they
laid aside the instruction of these faithful fathers that had
taught them the truth. And they just laid those things
aside. And they said, well, I want to do this worse than I want
to listen to him. So they went this direction. Now, you can take these things.
These are all natural things that I'm telling you here in
the Scripture. And we're warned against these things in the natural
sense. But you apply them to the spiritual. That's what we
see in religion. That's what man sees in religion.
He sees the same thing. He sees what his heart desires.
He sees potential. He sees influence. He sees all
these things. And as these men begin to understand
those things, Satan just stirs the pot. He knows exactly how
to make his stew, and he knows exactly what it is that you love
to taste. He knows what your appetite is,
what the appetite is for the flesh, and he makes his stew,
and he serves it up, and we drink it down. And men just go a-whoring
after these gods, and then these churches, and then these things.
They go away to God's people, not souls. Enoch prophesied of these men,
these rich, influential men. He prophesied of it over in the
book of Jude in verse 16. He said, They walked after their
own lust, and their mouth speaking great swelling words, having
men's persons in admiration because of advantage. Now, he's not talking
about our day. He's talking about his day. These
were the days that led up to the flood. You see what I'm saying? But I'm giving you a picture
of our day. This is a picture of our day. As it was in the
days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man. They were eating, drinking, marrying,
giving in marriage, taking up with the business of life and
family and jobs and going after bigger and better things, bigger
house, better house, more success, more this and better that. I'll
tell you what our Lord called it. He called it covetousness,
which is idolatry. That's what he said. It's idolatry. That's all it is. Ignorance. Ignorance. They ignored the testimony
of God. They ignored the assembling of
themselves together. They ignored the ways they'd
been taught. It was an age of compromise. That's what I want you to see.
These men were gathering together in groups, worshiping God. And
they didn't see anything wrong with moving over here to Nod. Just four hours, I can come back
and visit. Y'all have homecoming, we'll
be there. Easter Sunday, we'll be there. And Christmas Sunday,
we'll be there. Mother's Day, we'll show up.
We don't have to be there every week. We don't have to come out
on Wednesday night. We don't have to worship God
every time the doors open. It'll be alright. Be alright. You're just old fashioned. These
are new times. These are new days. I'm going
over here and marry this woman and we'll be back from time to
time to visit." And it said they kept right on
doing that until the day Noah entered into the ark and didn't
know. Didn't know. That's what our
Lord said. They didn't know. And God shut them in. He shut
that door. First, second, third story. He closed them in. And
the rain began to come down. And the thunder and the lightning
and the great springs from the deep opened up. And the water
began to come. And then, then they began to
beat on the earth. What was it you was telling me?
I'm so sorry. Open the door. Open the door.
Door ain't going to open. Door ain't going to open. Look
back here in Genesis chapter 6. Now watch this, he said, And
the Lord said, verse 3, My spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he is also flesh. Yet his days shall be a hundred
and twenty years. He is not giving you the life
expectancy of men. What he is saying in that verse
is one hundred and twenty years from this announcement, I am
going to open the sky up and I am going to open the great
springs of the deep up and this world is going to be no more.
I am going to put it under water. I'm going to kill every living
thing that's not in that ark. His days is going to be 120 years. And for 120 years, Noah preached
the gospel to those men and women by himself. There was not another
man mentioned in this chapter except Noah. Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord. Now that's how little these groups
have become. And that's the danger when we
let down these things of God and ignore these commandments
of God and ignore the ways of God and go off on our own. Here's
what it results in. One man finding grace in the
eyes of the Lord. Everybody else was in the land
of God. Everybody. And Noah had three children,
Shem, Ham, and Jephthah. And I'm telling you, from the
time they were babies, that man preached to them. With all his
heart, he preached to them. And they married believing daughters.
And he preached to them. And he kept right on preaching.
And Noah and his wife and his three sons and their three wives
is all that God saved on this earth. And it tells us over in
Hebrews 11 that they were saved because Noah moved with fear
and built that ark to the saving of his house. He did what God
commanded him to do, and he did it faithfully. And he did it
according to God's ways, and God's time, and for God's purpose. And he preached to those people,
and preached to them, and preached to them, until God showed them
up in that ark. You think of that. One man. Sometimes
I feel like that when I'm in Arkansas. One man. Everybody
else jumping up and down saying, that can't be, that can't be.
Look over here in the land of Nod. Look at Duke Cathedral.
We got a cathedral on this corner and that corner. Here's the First
Methodist Church down here. There's all kinds of churches.
You're not the only church. No, but this is the only one
where God meets. How'd I know that? Because when
the day come, God opened the door and they went in. That's
how I know. It wasn't anybody else. It wasn't anybody else.
Just these, just these. Oh, God looked on man, man whom
he had created upright and holy, created in his image, created
to rule and to be heir of all things, created wise and noble
and dignified. And he looked at him, and every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And God said it repented him
that he ever made man. What a state! Got some theologians in here,
you might want to try to deal with that. It repented him that
he ever made man. It said it grieved him in his
heart. I tell you, I don't think we
have an inkling, not even an inkling, of what it is to be
hated of God. To be a grievance in the heart
of God. The infinite heart of God, that
God that's infinite in love and mercy and grace, but that heart
that's infinite in justice and righteousness and holiness. And
in pure holiness and pure justice and pure righteousness, He was
grieved in His heart at man. And He said, I'll wipe him out.
There's not going to be anybody left. I wonder if we believe
that. Do we believe that? Do you believe
there's a judgment coming? I tell you, when God got a hold
of Noah and He said, 120 years, the sky is going to open up and
ain't nobody going to be breathing. Whoever enters this ark is going
to be saved and the rest of them are going to be dead. I'm going
to sweep them all right into judgment. Do we believe that? Well, Peter said, we're living
in those days. And how much more now, 2,000 years after Peter?
How much now? How much closer now are we? I've
just described those days to you. These days in which we live. Do we live believing that God
could come? He could come tonight. He could
come tomorrow morning. You could open your eyes and
be in glory tomorrow morning. Do we live that way? When I get up in the morning,
do I plan my days that way? Do I study this book that way?
Do I pray that way? Judgment's coming. The Apostle Paul said he has
appointed a day in which he'll judge this world in righteousness
by that man. Do I believe that? Then how close
am I to it? Well, I tell you this, even if
he don't come in our lifetime, we're going to die. It's appointed
unto man once to die, and after that, the judgment. So whether
he comes or whether we die, neither one is very far away, is it?
Huh? I'll tell you, we better... I believe God's laid this on
my heart for myself and for you, to show us something about the
earnestness in which we ought to live out our lives, expecting
Expecting him to show up. Looking for him. That's what
Paul said. He's looking for him. Looking
for his return. Longing to be with him. Longing
for him to come. And I look at my children, and
I look at my neighbors, and I look at my friends, and I look at
people I used to work with and think about. And every name Winston
was telling me this past week, these names come up, and he thinks
about them. These names, people you went
to school with, people you see on the street recognizing the
car that goes by. These people ready to meet y'all? What am I doing about it? Am
I saying, can't I just go to one and say, look, you know,
we meet over here on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. Won't
you come here? All they do say no. Huh? Do I care enough about him just
to ask him to come? What am I doing with my children?
Do I even mention the Lord to them? Am I ashamed to mention
Him to them? Am I scared to mention Him? I'm
scared they're going to run off and not speak to me no more.
God's going to burn them up. Judgement's coming. No one knew
that. He preached. That man preached
with his heart for 120 years. He preached and cried. And God spared his three children,
spared his wife, and spared their wives. Judgment is coming. As it was
in the days before the flood, so shall it be in the coming
of the Son of Man.
