When do you think this would take place?
When all hope is gone.
When there is no faith left in the land.
When the world has turned it's back on God and forgotten him.
It's sooner than we think.
But I don't feel despair because I believe in God's promises.
There was the world before the flood, the present age, and that which was to come.
I believe we are in that which was to come but haven't seen it manifested yet.
The spirit is strong but the flesh is weak.
Perhaps Noah would of felt despair watching the world disappear around him.
But he believed in God's promise.
And a new world began.
Joshua gave the people options of whom they would follow and worship:
Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD.
Because the Lord is past/present/future always.
But man is temporal and carnal and have power for a space of time.
The Lord is eternal without restriction of space and time.
But they had a choice.. Will you follow Adam and Enoch, and Methuselah, and Noah?
Will you follow the laws of the land your in at this present time?
Or will you follow the Lord knowing that he has much better things in store than what is behind or standing in the present.
We are always seeking higher ground. Always seeking another country, another home.
But somehow, we're still here. And I believe that's the way it's supposed to be.
God made this earth for man. The earth is our inheritance. God made it so it would provide everything man needed for both survival and praise.
When?
When the good Lord decides to send the rain.
Noah knew a storm was coming. He was given plenty of warning.
But that day and hour it began to rain, he knew not until the first drop fell.
drip.. drip.. drip... FLOOD
We see the signs, we know the times. All we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
I know God will see us through..
if we have faith.
that was a good question

Hugs
Maybe someday we will know the answer
