How many enter into the ark today so that they would be saved from this evil age, this evil generation? Similarly today, there are millions who are saved from eternal perdition, and they will not be in the lake of fire for eternity, but how many are working out their own salvation (Phil. In the days of Noah, there must have been more than eight people who sought after God and walked with God, but only Noah and his family entered into the ark to be saved from that crooked and perverted age. We desire not only to escape the great tribulation but even more, to overcome the stupefying effect of man’s living today and end this age so that the Lord may bring in His sweet and wonderful kingdom on the earth! Cooperating with the Lord to be Saved from this Evil Age and Work out our own Salvation in the Church Life May we aspire to be the overcomers today, those who are raptured when the Lord returns so that we may enjoy His presence and reign with Him for one thousand years. Who cooperates with the Lord today to be saved from this crooked and perverted generation by building the corporate Christ, the church, to be an anti-testimony to the world today and bring in the Lord back? Who cares for God’s need? Who cares for the fact that God wants to end this age and bring in the age of the kingdom? The Lord, however, has a need His need is to end this age. Many times as we walk on the street it is as if people are drugged, stupefied, for each is in his own world, his own bubble, and his own things, pursuing what he wants to gain and doing what he desires.Įven in Christianity, there are “bubbles” or “denominations” with all kinds of particular teachings, and the Body of Christ is divided and split in so many ways. There’s a trend of things in the world, a fashion of the age, and people are swept away in the flood of dissoluteness that includes both good and evil things. We need to be the family of Noah today, those who are not stupefied or drugged by the condition of the living on earth today. People today are eating, drinking, marrying, divorcing, remarrying, and doing all kinds of things, being fully unaware of the coming judgment. People today do exactly what they want and violence fills the earth some take the law into their own hands and do their own justice, others are protesting against the decisions of the government, while still others make more and more money at the cost of the ones who become poorer and poorer. In Luke 17:26-27, the Lord tells us that, even as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man people were eating, drinking, marrying, being given in marriage until the day in which Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. We are not here for this only the Father knows when the Son will return, but we see the signs of His coming, and we want to be prepared for His return so that He may take us as His overcomers. Many believers are wondering when will the Lord return and what are the signs of His coming some go even further to study the signs and try to make predictions on the day and year of His return. For us to be saved from this crooked and perverse generation, we need to build up the corporate Christ, the church, as the ark for our salvation and the salvation of those under our care in the church life we’re building up the church as our salvation from this evil age.
