"And they that
went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and
the Lord shut him in" - (Genesis 7:16).
The Scriptures show
that when God appoints a time of great judgment, He prepares a door of
deliverance for the minority who repent and seek Him.
In the days of
Noah, there were only eight who had the faith to believe God's revelation of a
coming catastrophe.
No doubt the
fateful day dawned as had many before it.
But it was to be an
historic day, for "the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark" (Genesis 7:1).
Matthew 24 draws a
parallel between the judgment of Noah's day and the impending Second Coming of
Christ: "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (verses 38-39).
We live in a day
when the door is still open.
Revelation 3:8
records, "I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut
it."
In John 10:7, "Jesus
unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door. . . ."
But the day will
come when God Himself will divinely shut that door (Revelation 3:7).
Let us be ready and
waiting lest today should be the eventful day.
The Bible tells how
some will, once again, be unprepared.
"When once the
master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to
stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and
he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are" (Luke 13:25).
The
Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word
can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to
how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has
planned for us.
After
50 years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the
context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists
to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history,
and then to educate the public both formally and informally through
professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the
country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
