The Riddle of Noah and Lot

Matthew 24:37: ''But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.'' To get a look at that distant, future, generation who would witness the return of Christ, Jesus tells us to look to that distant, past generation who witnessed the Great Flood.

The story of the days of ‘Noe’ or, Noah, begins with Genesis Chapter Six in which the 'sons of God' took wives from the 'daughters of men' (6:2).

First, the 'sons of God' - those are us, right? Wrong.

When the 70 Jewish scholars that worked on the Septuagint (a translation of the Old Testament Hebrew scriptures into Greek 300 years before Christ) translated the term ‘sons of God’ in Gen 6:2, they used ‘Angels of God’.

Some like to quote Matt 22:30 to prove that angels cannot marry or procreate, but Jesus was addressing the ‘angels in heaven’. Genesis 6 speaks not of the obedient angels in Heaven, but of FALLEN angels.

Furthermore, anytime angels are seen by humans they are seen as male (Gen 18:1-19:22, Mark 16:5-7, Luke 24:4-7, Acts 1:10-11) and in the Genesis 18:1-19:22 passage we even see (unfortunately) that the ungodly men of Sodom ‘desired’ the angels for themselves!

John 1:12 says that;

"as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."

While we, (the Church) have BECOME the 'sons of God' by the Power of Christ, Jesus said to look to the 'times of Noah'.

Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 2:6, 2:1, and Job 38:7 are the only Old Testament (pre-Jesus and pre-Church) references to the 'sons of God' and in every case, it refers to 'angels' -- without exception.

There are references to the 'sons of God' in Romans, Philippians and 1st John as consisting of the Church, the power to BECOME the 'sons of God' is unique to the Church Age, and was unknown in Noah's day.

The 'daughters of men' means exactly that -- the daughters of men. Making 'wives' of them is not figurative, either, as Genesis 6:4 says 'they bare children to them' that the Bible says later became the 'mighty men which were of old'.

In Genesis chapter 2, God promises a Redeemer who would be the 'seed of a woman'. Clearly, if Satan could pollute the human bloodline, he could break God's prophecy. Note that 6:8-9 say that Noah 'found grace in the eyes of the Lord' and that he was a 'just man and perfect in his GENERATIONS'.

God chose Noah out of His grace, Noah was not necessarily good or deserving, rather merely 'a just man' BUT he was 'PERFECT in his generations' -- untainted by the polluted bloodline of the angelic intermarriage.

Since Scripture doesn't say such angelic intermarriage takes place in the last days, most folks see Jesus' comment about Noah as prefiguring the Rapture.

That's true, but there's lots more there than that. Genesis Chapter 6 describes the most direct and unfettered contact between human beings in general and the spirit world recorded in the entire Bible -- apart from those recorded in the Revelation during the Tribulation Period.

Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah . .”

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (6:5)

It can be argued that television is imagination in a box. There, we vicariously live out all our dreams and fantasies. Somewhere on the cable dial, there is something for the imagination of everybody's heart. .

So take a look at what is the imagination of the thoughts of THIS generation's heart. Porno, 'slasher' movies, Madonna, Brittany Spears, demon movies, movies about Satan -- THAT'S the 'imagination of our hearts' continually.

Popular culture today is full of the use of spirit guides, alien encounters, and open satanic worship. It will continue and it will increase.

If you have read anything of those who are allegedly in contact with the ‘aliens’ and ‘spirit guides’ you will notice the same claims coming through that these beings are going to show themselves physically to those on earth soon.

A similar, but seldom noted parallel is the unholy offspring of Genesis 6 and DNA and cloning research.

The corruption of the human race was the main reason for the Flood and we are in the process of corrupting it again.

In Luke 17:28, Jesus says of the last days; "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot."

The inhabitants of Sodom wanted Lot to turn the angels over to them (Genesis 18:-19:22). The thought behind this is that the men of Sodom thought that sexual union was possible. 2 Pet 2:4-5 and Jude 6-7 also throw some light onto this passage.

Jude tells us that the angels abandoned their proper abode and then contrasts their actions with that of Sodom and Gomorrah, who ‘in the same manner’ went after strange flesh.

The term ‘strange flesh’ means to go after an unnatural sexual union. For the men of Sodom it was homosexuality, but for these fallen angels it was inter-marrying with human women.

In any case, the parallel between Sodom and this generation's moral code is self-evident. You don't need me to prove that.

Jesus also said that in the last days the signs and wonders performed would be so great that ‘even the elect would be deceived if it were possible.’

The Bible warns,

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?" (2 Peter 3:3-4)

Peter also uses the example of the Flood and the times of Noah to illustrate the importance of understanding the times in which we live.

It is not a stretch to argue that the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians could be tied to the emergence of an alien spaceship or direct visible contact with aliens (which in reality are demonic encounters).

Maybe it sounds nutty, but it does tie in with the days of Noah, and Hollywood has certainly been getting people used to the idea in the last decade or two.

The Hale-Bopp cult was convinced enough to die for it.

It would also be a ‘powerful delusion’ strong enough to shake people’s belief to the core. Except that Jesus reminds us that all these things have been prophesied before they happen so that your hope will be firmly rooted in the truth of God’s word.

While other Christians scoff, argue that the Church has replaced Israel in God's Plan, that they've been hearing 'for ages' that the Lord is coming back, or that prophecy was all fulfilled back in AD 70, keep this thought in mind.

God has chosen a few out of this generation to be the watchmen on the wall.

Peter tells us, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts." (2 Peter 1:19)

Keep the faith. The King IS coming.

"Behold, I have told you before." (Matthew 24:25)

When the 70 Jewish scholars that worked on the Septuagint (a translation of the
Old Testament Hebrew scriptures into Greek 300 years before Christ) translated
the term ‘sons of God’ in Gen 6:2, they used ‘Angels of God’.

Then sometime between the Spetuagint and the KJ Bible 'Angels of God' became 'sons of men'?

I suspect the KJV translators thought it too 'weird' otherwise...failing to take scripture literally.
