“And as it was in the days of
Noe so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of
man….Likewise also as it was
in the days of Lot.”
Luke 17:26 &28
Our time is like the time of
Noah and the time of Lot.
Violence and Sodomy have
filled the land.
This is not our opinion. We
do not speak our opinion
We speak only those things
that are clear and plainly
written in the bible.
s s
Here we see clearly life or death, good or
evil. We exhort you to choose the good,
to choose life.
There is no hidden mystery here or obscure word of prophecy understood
only by a few.
It is not a matter of our
interpretation either.

II Timothy 3:1-4, “This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;”

#2The world
appears to have
forgotten God.
Many say he
does not exist.
They have
forgotten the
power of God
even in the face
of the daily
evidence all
around us.
#1They make light of the things that he has told us.
the churches of the world they do not speak of his commandments.
They act like God is not a judge.
That he is impotent when it comes to his will.
That he will only do occasional acts of good but has no power to punish or destroy the wicked.

s
They show irreverence and
contempt to the word of
God. Because of the
hypocrisy of the religious
leaders, the media makes
anyone who openly speaks
of the bible; especially
when it comes to any public
policy seem like a fool, a
crazy person, a bigot or a
zealot.
Often times those who do publicly speak of the bible are actually fools, crazy, bigots or zealots. Because
of this many people change their opinions. Who wants to agree with a fool, or a
bigot? Let’s be open minded and accept the changes of
society, they feel.
ss
God does not change. Though wicked men throughout history have used the word of God as an excuse to do evil,
the word of God remains true. Let God be true and all men liars. God does not change. He said “For I am the Lord, I change not.”
s
God is a righteous
judge.
He does not love
everybody and he will
not excuse the guilty.
When he comes again
he will come to judge
this world.

“For the Lord hath a controversy with
the inhabitants of the land, because
there is no truth, nor mercy, nor
knowledge of God in the land. By
swearing and lying and killing, and
stealing, and committing adultery, they
break out and blood toucheth blood.
Therefore shall the land mourn….”
Hosea 4: 1-3
God told us in the beginning, “Thou shalt not kill”. Christ told us that if we are angry with our brother without a cause we are a
murderer. He told us to love one another. When Christ came he healed the sick, he fed the hungry, he opened the eyes of the blind, and he
taught the gospel.
The Days of Noah s
s
s
s
The leaders of the world take food from the mouths of the poor, and
the elderly. Health care is not available to all people. People die from a
lack of their basic necessities. The rich steal money from the people in hidden ways. They don’t even know what is happening to them. When
you take away a person’s living you are taking away his life.
The poor are forsaken
s
s
s
s
s
Jobs are taken away so that the rich can
make more money. This country is steeped
with innocent blood. Remember the blood
of all of the slaves. Often times the guilty
go unpunished. The innocent blood cries
out to God just like the blood of Abel.
II Esdras 15:8, “behold the innocent and
righteous blood crieth unto me and the
souls of the just complain continually.”
Children kill parents, parents kill and
abuse children.
Genocide is alive and well in this world, ethnic
cleansings continue. Guns are everywhere. Life has little
value. Money is god.
In other nations, the abuse of women is a sick custom. a tradition that they defend. They kill baby girls at birth
just because they are not boys.
People are not safe from their closest relatives. People
are killed in gang violence. Children are killed in school
by mad gunmen and cruel hazing.

The scripture says that covetousness
is idolatry. The world is full of
idolatry. And everyone continues to
eat and drink and make merry just like
in the days of Noah before the flood.
“But evil men and seducers shall wax
worse and deceiving and being
deceived.”
II Timothy 3:13
s
Wickedness has polluted the earth
and God will come in vengeance. “For
the indignation of the Lord is upon
all nations, and his fury upon all
their armies: he hath utterly
destroyed them, he hath delivered
them to the slaughter.”
Isaiah 34: 2
#2In the
beginning God
created male
and female.
“So God created
man in his
image, in the
image of God
created he him;
male and female
created he
them.”
(Genesis 1:27)
#1
He told them to be fruitful and multiply.
Because of envy of the devil sin came into the world.
God told us “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
The sin of adultery was what the devil used to fight against the will of God.
The devil did not just invent one type of sin, he invented multiple ways to break each of the 10 commandments.

The Days of lot s
Sodomy is a sin that opposes the 7th commandment.
Sodomy is any type of defiant behavior of an intimate nature. God told the children of Israel that these behaviors were abominations.
s
Leviticus 18:22, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lies with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.”
s
s
What is an abomination? It is something detestable or disgusting.
Sodomy is a very detestable sin. Sodomy is not a new thing. What is new is how it is accepted these days.
s
s
#2We are being
force fed the
acceptance of
these behaviors
by the media
and now by the
government.
If anyone speaks
publicly against
it they are
called bigots
or fools.
#1They may lose jobs, money, or endorsements.
Policy is changed whenever the dollar is called into question.
So who or what is the god of this country and this world?
ss
The Days of lot s
s
s
#2We have learned
to smile and keep
our opinions to
ourselves.
The young people
more and more
accept this
behavior.
So many of the
people they
admire are
paraded in front
of them as being
of this
persuasion.
#1Its ok, it’s cool.
Many of them will try anything once to fit in.
Besides they teach acceptance in the schools.

They compare it to the civil rights era. Many people cannot tell the difference between the color of someone’s skin and this behavior. God created people of different nations, with all different skin tones
and hair texture, but he did not create this. He did not create people who
desire to steal, or kill or to do any other type of sin.

Society’s opinion has changed. At first
sodomy was against the law, then they said
those who practiced it had a mental
illness, next they said no, it’s not a
sickness, it’s a lifestyle. But now no,
because if it’s a lifestyle, a choice, you can
choose to behave differently, now they say
people are born that way. Society’s opinion
on sodomy has changed many times. The
laws of the land have changed legalizing
the abominable thing.
s
The law of man or the changing mores of
society does not justify this in the eyes of
God because God does not change. How
did this come about and become so
entrenched? Let us see what Paul says in
Romans 1:22-32. It begins with the sin of
idolatry. It is from idolatry that all sins
emerge. When you worship idols you are
worshipping Satan. Those who worship
Satan obey Satan.
In our day idolatry is hid under the cloak of covetousness. The politically correct word for covetousness is often called ambition or success.
People may proclaim to be Christian or may worship God with their mouths but as it is written, their hearts are far from him.
s

s
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and serve the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
s
s
Let us pause here to reflect that the creature is anything that is made by God as well as any use that man has for it, like cars, houses, money or anything that they can
get with it. In other words this is also covetousness and the love of money. Let us continue to read.
The Days of Lots

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile
(morally despicable or repugnant) affections: For
even their women did change the natural use into
that which is against nature: And likewise also the
men leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in
themselves that recompence of their error which
was meet And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate (worthless, evil, condemned) mind, to
do those things which are not convenient.”
In other words,
stopping here, God
allowed their
minds to be taken
control by this
spirit because they
continued to sin
and would not
repent. Let us
continue..
s s
And here Apostle Paul concludes all who are
entrenched in sin.
s
s
“Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents, Without
understanding, covenant breakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who
knowing the judgment of God that they which
commit such things are worthy of death, not
only do the same, but have pleasure in them that
do them.”
#2Therefore let us
not be deceived.
Christ said to do
unto others as we
would have them
do unto us,
to do good to the
good as well
coworkers or
loved ones.
And we must not
accept wicked
behavior even by
friends or family,
coworkers or
loved ones.
#1God did not tell us to treat them badly or to punish them.
We must walk as Christ walked.
We know that God is coming to judge this earth.
It says so over and over again in the bible.
ss
The Days of lot s
Let us be warned.
Obey God and keep his commandments.
Do not be deceived because people are nice or appear good or kind.
We must be righteous.
We know the truth.
