WHAT ARE YOUR EXCUSES
--There Shall Come In The Last Days Scoffers
--When Noah proclaimed the solemn message, yet an hundred and twenty years the judgments of GOD in a flood of water should destroy the world and its inhabitants, men would not receive it, so it is at the present time.
--Those who warn the transgressors of law to repent and turn to their allegiance for the Lawgiver is coming to punish the disobedient, will plead and entreat and warn the majority in vain.
--Peter describes the attitude of the world in reference to the last message 2Pet.3:3-11)
--The men of Noah's time, in their philosophy and worldly wisdom, thought GOD could not destroy the world with a flood, for the waters of the ocean could not be sufficient for this.
--But GOD made the philosophy and science of men foolishness when the time had fully come to execute his word.
--The inspired pen describes the earth as standing out of the water and in
the water.
--GOD had his weapons concealed in the bowels of the earth to compass her destruction.
--And when the great men and the wise men had reasoned before the world of the impossibility of its destruction by water, and the fears of the people were quieted, and all regarded Noah's prophecy as the veriest delusion, and looked upon Noah as a crazy fanatic, GOD'S time had come.
--He hid Noah and his family in the ark, and the rain began to descend, slowly at first; the jeers and scoffings did not cease for a time, but soon the waters from heaven united with the waters of the great deep; the waters under the earth burst through the earth's surface, and the windows of heaven were opened, and man with all his philosophy and so called science, finds that he had not been able in his worldly wisdom to comprehend GOD.
--He found too late that his wisdom was foolishness; that the Lawgiver is greater than the laws of nature.
--The hand of OMNIPOTENCE is at no loss for ways and means to accomplish HIS purposes.
--HE could reach into the bowels of the earth and call forth his weapons, waters there concealed, to aid in the destruction of the corrupt inhabitants of the old world.
--But let us all bear in mind that those who perished in that awful judgment had an offer of escape.
--The faithful Noah had spoken to them the WORDS of GOD, assuring them if they would repent of their sins and believe the testimony of warning they might find a shelter in the ark and be saved from the destructive storm that was soon coming.
--As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
--Water will never destroy the earth again, but the weapons of GOD are concealed in the bowels of the earth which HE will draw forth to unite with the fire from heaven to accomplish his purpose in the destruction of all those who would not receive the message of warning and purify their souls in obeying the truth and being obedient to the laws of GOD.
--The voice of warning is now being heard inviting the people to escape and find refuge, not in the ark but in JESUS CHRIST.
--How will the warning be treated?
◆◇CHRIST tells us just as it was received in the days of Noah.
--Thousands will deride the message of mercy and salvation, and turn aside, one to his merchandise, another to his farm, and give little or no attention to these things.
--They will be occupied with eating, drinking, and dressing, planting and building as in the days of Noah, as though no sound of alarm had ever saluted their ears.
