They Knew Nothing About What Would Happen UNTIL!!!

Matt. 24:37-39 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

This is not doom and gloom preaching, This is what Jesus taught…..As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the Lord comes back. And the Lord says are you ready for the Wedding Feast, will you come in with the right garments on, have they been cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb. Will your lamps be filled with oil or will you have to say to the Master, “oh, wait I must go and buy oil, but it is the midnight hour, it’s too late.
MT 25:10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
MT 25:11 "Later the others also came. `Sir! Sir!' they said. `Open the door for us!'
MT 25:12 "But he replied, `I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
MT 25:13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

And the Lord says, come and drink of the water that I will give you, and you will never thirst again. Do not wait until the midnight hour, awake you that are asleep and know that the hour will come that is spoken of in My word says the Lord, though I have tarried, no man knows the hour, are you ready for that hour, are you ready to face that day says the Lord. I have given to you all that you need, you have nothing to purchase, I have given you freely My own life that you may be saved.

Come now and do not wait until the door is closed and think that you will get in at the stroke of Midnight says the Lord, I am calling you now says the Lord, look around and see the signs of the times and grow not weary in well doing, come and let us reason together. You are my beloved children and I am not willing that one would perish says the Lord. I call forth the wayward ones, the prodigals, the hungry, the poor, I call my children to come boldly into My presence, let me renew your heart, cleanse your heart, heal your wounds, and give to you the abundant life I have promised you says the Lord. Come now, come to the river, the cleansing river says the Lord, let me fill you with My joy, hope and peace says the Lord, not one will be lacking that comes to Me says the Lord, for greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends, and I call you friends. Amen.
