Just as it was in the days of Noah

will be repeated/and is happening again

in the life time of

us 21st. century flesh and blood human beings.
as "Mystery Babylon" is being built.

"But as the days of Noe [Noah] were so shall also the

coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37, 37)

That it what this study is all about!

What was happening in the days of Noah?

And what we need to know about it?

We need to know this because Jesus just told

us it is going to happen again at His coming.

Caution to students of God's Word - Please remember two things when using our American Wisdom Series studies:
#1. Our commentary is not God's Word. It is only our interpretation or understanding of "His Word" and even though we try our best to be accurate we may or may not be correct. #2. The King James translation, or any other translation, of the original Hebrew text has some words which were given different translations at different places probably because of the interpreters preconceived ideas of what they think God meant to say. For example: According to the notes in the "Dake's Annotated Reference Bible" the Hebrew word hayah in the KJV is Trans. (became) 67 times, (becamest or came to pass) 505 times, (become) 66 times, and (come to pass) 131 times, but for some reason in Genesis 1:2 it is translated (was)! That sure changes the way a person perceives the original creation of the earth, doesn't it? Gen. 1:2 And the earth was (became) without form, ... Having said that, let us continue with our "studies". These studies contain knowledge, we believe, you must have to fully and accurately unlock and understand the Word of God.
May the Holy Spirit be your only guiding light. Sincerely, John Rhine
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:13-14
[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Matthew 23 ended with our Lord telling his disciple’s about His second coming. These twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ were with him for the past three years, and Jesus told them that He came into the World for the purpose of being crucified. Jesus told these Apostles "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate." Then as that chapter ended, Jesus said in Matthew 23:39 ; "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." Jesus was speaking here of His second advent, when He returns to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords, which is and will be at the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet, as revealed to apostle John, just as Jesus spoke to him about the day of the Lord in the book of Revelation.

Jesus was with his disciples in the Temple during that time of the Passover feast in Jerusalem when He and His disciples departed out of the Temple, and went out on a hillside overlooking the awesome structure of the Temple. Then Jesus started telling them in Matthew 24 all of the things that would come to pass just before His return at the seventh trump. These are the things that we ought to be looking for in our day. The key of understanding is, knowing all the things that will happen just before the glorious day of the Lord's return.

At the top of the warning list given to His disciples was, "Take heed that no man deceive you. For Many shall come in My name, saying; `I am Christ;' and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:4, 5)

How can you really know and make sure that you are not being deceived?

By verifying what people are saying with the written word of God; your Holy Bible.

Deception will be the foremost thing to guard against in these latter days, with all the signs and seals that are taking place all around us, those that are sealed with the truth of the entire Bible, God's Word in their minds simply will not be deceived.

We can be sure of one thing because this warning came from the lips of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven but My Father only."

Then Jesus continued;

"But as the days of Noe [Noah] were so

shall also the coming of the Son of Man

be." (Matthew 24:37, 37)

That it what this study is all about!

We must understand that the things that are going on around us today is what was going on in the days of Noah. Those things that were happening then will be common in our day, in this generation of "the parable of the Fig Tree". Jesus warned us in the 32nd verse, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branches yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh." Remember that the entire subject of the twenty forth chapter of Matthew is the event that will take place just before the return of our Lord, and the parable of the fig tree was one of those things to watch for.

Mark 13:28, 29; "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when her branches is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near," [28] "So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh even at the doors." [29]

There is no disagreement that this tender fig tree is that nation of the Jews called

Israel

of today. This tender fig tree was established by the decree of the Belfour Agreement on May 15, 1948. That is when this tender fig tree nation came into being. That was the start of the final generation of this earth age of flesh man living on this earth.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:34, 35; "Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." [34] "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." [35]

For the past seventy plus years each of us have watched this nation grow its leaves to shade the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ from the World, yet not one piece of fruit leading the souls of this world to the one true Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, "the Messiah, the anointed one"

Leaves on a tree shade those under it from the life giving sun, the truth from the word.

The fruit of the fig tree gives life, and the life spoken of here is eternal life in Jesus Christ., but this tiny fig tree nation, that the world calls Israel today, bears no fruit.

God has given us His eternal plan for all times, the eternity in his Word and that plan is written down so we can

Jesus warned us in Revelation 9:4 that when those "scorpions". in reference to the fallen angels arrival here on earth; "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

Knowing the time you are living in, and those things and events that are to take place within that generation is all part of that seal of God that must be in your mind before the coming of Satan and his fallen angels.

Once they have arrived, those without the seal of the truths of all of God's Word will be given over to them.

Revelation 9:5 "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

When a scorpion strikes a man, and the venom hits the central nervous system, the man is rendered helpless against the scorpion.

Revelation 9:5 "And it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

The time that Satan and his one world system will rule is for five months.

So how is "the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man?" The first thing to understand is that because a scorpion has no stomach, its digestive process is outside its own body. It grabs hold of the subject, paralysis it, and vomits its digestive juices on the subject. While the subject lies helpless, the juices dissolve the subject's body and then the scorpion sucks that food back into itself. The person "man" that has been struck lies helpless through the entire process, unable to think or defend himself.

So notice first that those with the seal of the truth in their mind from verse four are not affected by Satan and his realm, and the sealing must be prior to the coming of Satan. The truth in a person's mind of the Word is the the protective barrier from the poison of that scorpion Satan's deceptions. Once Satan has arrived, then God turns, or gives the men, women and children over to Satan, and this torment comes upon them. Their ignorance of the truth from the Word is their protective barrier, for this act of following Satan in ignorance, not knowing who Satan is, will allow them the right to under go the teaching and instruction of the Millennium age of Christ's kingdom here on earth. So why can't they get the word at that late time when Satan is on earth? Amos 8:11 tells us that; "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread , nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." The Spirit of our heavenly Father Himself will close their minds to the truth, and turn them over to Satan.

Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

So this is how Satan and his angels will react when they come to this earth. Sure, men will seek the truth but they will not find it. When you have God's Word in your mind and soul, you will not be turned to mush at the striking of Satan's deception. Satan's time of rule will happen for a five months period, and it shall happen in our generation, just as it is written in His Word. So when Jesus gives you power over all your enemies, and if you have faith strong enough to believe, you have nothing to fear today. You will be in charge and in control over anything that will come against you, and be a strong Christian for Almighty God.

The Apostle Paul warned us in Ephesians 6:10, 11; "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." [10] "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." [11]

You put on armor to give yourself protection when a battle is to be fought. And the battle that is spoken of here is that time in the near future when Satan and his fallen angels will be here on earth trying to deceive all the people living here in their flesh and blood bodies. He will be presenting himself as the one true Christ, when in fact he is the fake, the antichrist, or better said; "instead of Christ".

Paul told us exactly what that battle will be about in Ephesians 6:12 , 13; "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." [12] "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." [13]

Satan is supernatural, and his angels are supernatural just as he is. They will come into our realm or dimension that human beings exist in in this present 21st century earth age, and they will have their supernatural powers to do what they will do to get you to believe that they are God, and his angels. The armor that God has told you to put on is the entire Word of God, from Genesis to Revelation. God's Word is the only warning that will keep you informed as to what the entire plan of God is, so that when our generation faces the presence of those from that darkness and spiritual wickedness, we will see those things for what they are, and where they came from. God is telling you this is going to happen, and it will happen exactly as He told you it would. This is why the "Whole armour of God" is necessary; it is the only thing that will allow you "be able to withstand in the evil day" against Satan.

Satan, spiritually, through his grandkids, the Kenites (the Bible calls them serpents), is creating a famine for seeing and hearing the true "Word of God"; even now prior to these fallen angels (the Bible calls them scorpions) and Satan arriving here on earth in person. His Kenite grandkids are corrupting our newer version Bibles through their control of our so-call Christian publishing houses. And with their control of what the seminaries teach; and therefore what comes from the pulpit of most Christian churches, plus their control of the media, most Christians don't even realize they are being deceived.

Satan will use the Scripture to deceive those in our generation that just don't care to take the time to read and study all of the Scripture of God. They say that we are living in New Testament times, and the Old Testament just doesn't matter, and if that is your attitude, you will be deceived. The Old Testament gives us the examples and warnings as how it shall be in these end times. It gives us stories of events that men of God faced in the distant past, and relates them as warning for those of us living in this time of the end. Paul said after reviewing many of the events of the Old Testament, in I Corinthians10:11 , 12 "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." [11] "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." [12]

When you rely on some tradition or thought that has been peddled down through the years, you are placing your eternal life on a hear-say, and not on the Scriptures. When our Lord taught, He would continually ask; "Haven't you read?"; or say "It is written..." and then go to the writings of a prophet such as Moses, or Daniel or another Old Testament Prophets of God, to give His example. Yet many Christians today would sooner chase after stories of "apples", rather than understand what really happened in the Garden of Eden, when Eve had her two sons. They would rather chase after pie in the sky promises, such as the rapture doctrine, and close their mind to the truth, then read in Ezekiel 13:18-21, what God thinks of those that lead the souls of His people into these fairy tales. "Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; "Behold, I am against your pillows [your coverings; traditions], wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly..."

The Christian world today is in a mode of questioning why they should try to see the truth and put the time in to study all the Scriptures, when they can have the Kenites do their thinking for them. [Most professing Christians don't even know who the Kenites are, or that they are setting the agenda for most of what they are taught in their church; nor do they seem to care!] Thus you have entire ministries and denominations allowing these sons of Satan [the Kenites] to set their agenda for them. Is it any wonder that our nation is turning away from the laws and Commandments of God, as has happened over the past few decades.

God has set up examples that are recorded in the Old Testament that are exact copies of what we are facing today in our daily lives, and He expects those of His elect to read and prepare for the events that are in his eternal plan.

It is written down for you to read and understand, and seal away in your mind for those things that are going to come against our generation in these end times!

Expect these things to happen, just as God told Jeremiah to tell the House of Judah to expect to go into the captivity under Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians.

This study is all about the preparation we must have in our minds. We will use only the Scriptures for this study, where we can learn how it was in the days of Noah that our Lord warned us about.
