Noah's days

Assimulation was not the way of living for Noah as was evident in Genesis 6:8 whereas Scripture said, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of Elohim". The hebrew word for grace (chanan), in this passage indicates, "favor or good will", obviously Noah's walk was pleasing to Elohim, as the rest of the people were not, also indicated in Scriptures preceding verse 8. "wickedness, evil, and violence were characteristic of the people in those days.

In the New testament, these verses indicate similar times when Messiah will return.
Matt 24:37-39 "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be."

Notice that the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, not man’s sight. Men don’t recognize their own corruption because they reject God’s standards and set their own standards. God’s standards are perfect and unchanging but men are always changing their standards to fit their desires, to fulfill the lust of their flesh.

If our forefather's could see their country today, they would be appalled at what we allow and what we do not allow. This country has assimulated and currently is assimulating into the "World", which includes their ideas, which are contrary to Scripture.

As believers in the Faith, we cannot assimulate into the "World" and it's standards as Elohim will once again visit us, as in the days of Noah, with vengance and fury.

We must walk as Noah walked, as he demonstrated obedience in what He heard. I remember tht old hymn years ago in church, "Trust and Obey for there's no other way..." Also the words, "Hear and Obey" are linked together by (and)...otherwise it is of no benefit for the one who only hears. Actually, the word "Hear" in the Hebrew, means to "obey". That makes more sense when the verse, "He that hath an ear, let him hear" (obey)....food for thought.
