7 Đặc điểm Của Thời Nô-ê | Muối Của đất;

Trong Matthew 24:37, Jesus talked about His coming and the end of the world. Chúa Giêsu đã nói, trong số những người khác, cái đóthe days would be as in the days of Noah. What was Jesus referring to? Kinh thánh nói gì về những ngày của Nô -ê? We know from the Bible that in the days of Noah the wickedness of the people was great upon the earth. We also know that Noah was a righteous preacher and built an ark in obedience to God to save himself, gia đình anh ấy, and many animals from the flood God brought upon the earth. But what are the other characteristics of the days of Noah in the Bible that we also see today?

Vào thời Nô-ê, sin was great

Và Thiên Chúa thấy rằng sự gian ác của con người rất lớn trên trái đất, và rằng mọi tưởng tượng của những suy nghĩ trong lòng anh ta liên tục chỉ là xấu xa. Và nó ăn năn Chúa đã tạo nên con người trên trái đất, and it grieved Him at His heart And the Lord said, Ta sẽ tiêu diệt loài người mà Ta đã tạo ra khỏi mặt đất; cả hai người đàn ông, và con thú, và thứ đáng sợ, và những con chim trời; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Nhưng Nô-ê được ơn trước mặt Chúa (Sáng Thế Ký 6:5-8)

Vào thời Nô-ê, the wickedness of the people was so great that it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth.

No one was righteous and no one walked with God, Ngoại trừ Nô -ê.

In the rest of humanity, evil reigned. The imaginations of the thoughts of the hearts of people were only evil. Vì thế, the people were wicked and walked in iniquity and did everything that was evil in the eyes of God.

The sin was so great that God had no other choice than to destroy man from the earth.

Và thế là, because of people’s choices and behavior, they brought mischief upon themselves.

Vào thời Nô-ê, the earth was corrupt

Trái đất cũng bại hoại trước mặt Chúa, và trái đất tràn ngập bạo lực. Và Chúa nhìn xuống trái đất, Và, hãy chứng kiến, nó đã bị hỏng; vì tất cả xác thịt đã làm hỏng con đường của anh ta trên trái đất (Sáng Thế Ký 6:11-12)

KHÔNG, there was no global warming in the days of Noah. Vì thế, the state of the earth; the corruption of the earth and the flood, were not caused by global warming.

But the corruption of the earth had a spiritual cause, cụ thể là, the sin of humanity.

The sin of people was so great that the earth was filled with violence and was corrupt.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: Nhưng My salvation shall be for ever, Và My righteousness shall not be abolished (Ê-sai 51:6)

Hôm nay, we see the same thing happening as in the days of Noah. The state of the earth is also pretty bad.

We are all witnesses of the corrupt state of the earth. We see that the earth waxes old like a garment, as written in the prophecy above.

Natural scientists may give all kinds of natural causes for the corrupt state of the earth, but the real cause is spiritual.

Since the Bible (Lời của Đức Chúa Trời) is the truth, the real cause of the corrupt state of the earth is a spiritual cause, cụ thể là, the sin and unrighteousness of people, just like in the days of Noah.

Trái đất than khóc và chờ đợi sự hiện diện của các con cái Thiên Chúa (Điều này áp dụng cho cả nam và nữ). But where are the con trai của Chúa?

Vào thời Nô-ê, the sons of God became unfaithful to God

Và nó đã xảy ra, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Và Chúa đã phán, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown (Sáng Thế Ký 6:1-4)

The sons of God belonged to God and had the Spirit of God. Because God said, after the sons of God took the fair daughters of men, that His Spirit would no longer abide and strive with man (from a moral point of view), since the sons of God misbehaved.

The sons of God didn’t stay faithful to God and His will. But the sons of God became unfaithful to God. They exchanged their position and service to fulfill their carnal lusts and desires with the fair women. These fair women were most likely born of the seed of Cain.

And just like the sons of God misbehaved themselves in the days of Noah and became unfaithful to God and His will and were led by their senses and the beauty (the appearance) của (pagan) women, and took many women to satisfy their carnal lusts and desires and exchanged the Spirit for the flesh, the same takes place today.

The unfaithful sons of God today

As in the days of Noah, many sons of God today are carnal instead of spiritual. They’re led by their carnal senses, ham muốn, và mong muốn, instead of being led by the Spirit and staying faithful to Jesus Christ, Lời.

Their eyes are not focused upon Jesus Christ and doing His will and eternity. But their eyes are focused upon themselves, their will, women (and even men and children), and to satisfy their carnal lusts and desires.

And so many exchange their birthright and position as sons of God for temporary pleasures. They commit adultery, sự gian dâm, and/or engage in marriages with unbelievers because they are blinded by – and focused on the outward appearances and external beauty.

Tuy nhiên, their choices have consequences for their lives, just like Esau. (Đọc thêm: Selling your birthright for temporary pleasures)

Actors of life, who lead double lives

There are Christians who go to church, have a task in the church, and/or are in leadership, trong khi thực tế, they are actors of life. They’re hypocrites who lead double lives behind the scenes.

They have not identified themselves with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They think they are born again, but they are not.

They’ve not laid down their sinful flesh. But their flesh, in which their will and sin reign, is still alive and reigns in their lives.

They don’t follow God’s Word and God’s Spirit. But they’re sense ruled and follow their vain thoughts, cảm xúc, và cảm xúc. They’re led by their carnal lusts and desires, which lead to (tình dục) uncleanness and sins.

In Today’s world, the wickedness and the sins of people are great.

Although many people confess that they believe that God exists and that they long for the return of Jesus Christ and shout and sing about Jesus’s coming, they live as if God doesn’t exist and Jesus will never return.

They do things in secret, which may be hidden from the eyes of carnal people, and they think that God doesn’t see them, but God is omnipotent and sees everything. Nothing is hidden from the Almighty God. He exposes the works and confronts people with their sins by the Holy Spirit.

Why do sinners hate the righteous?

Sinners hate the righteous because the righteous testify that the works of the people who belong to the world (tội nhân) are evil.

Thế giới không thể ghét bạn; but Me it hates, bởi vì tôi làm chứng về điều đó, rằng công việc của nó là xấu xa (John 7:7)

Vì thế, people who live in sin can’t be in the presence of the real sons of God (nam và nữ), who have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus and have the Holy Spirit in them and walk after the Spirit in righteousness. When they are in their presence, they will be confronted with their evil works; tội lỗi của họ. That’s because the Holy Spirit in them confronts them and testifies that their works are evil. As was the case with a.o. Noah and Jesus.

Since the sins and iniquities on earth are so great and even defiled many churches and many sons of God have become unfaithful and left God and His Word (that represents His will), and exchanged the Spirit for the flesh, this behavior of the sons of God is also a sign that we live in the days of Noah

Vào thời Nô-ê, the people didn’t want to listen

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm (1 Ti-mô-thê 1:5-7)

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Thuyết giảng từ; Hãy ngay lập tức trong mùa, không có mùa; reprove, quở trách, hô hào với tất cả sự dài hạn và giáo lý. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2 Ti-mô-thê 4:1-4)

As in the days of Noah, many people didn’t want to listen to the words of God, Hôm nay, many people also don’t want to listen to the words of God. Thay vì, they listen to the knowledge and wisdom of the world and have their own opinion.

They don’t want to listen to people, who speak the truth of God. Vì thế, they make it difficult for them and do everything they can to silence their voices.

Because of the fact that in many churches, the spirit of the world entered and reigns in the lives of many people, những người tự gọi mình là Kitô hữu, these people also don’t want to listen to the infallible words of God, which call them to repentance, Việc loại bỏ tội lỗi, and living a holy life.

Vào thời Nô-ê, the people were too busy with their own lives

Many people are prideful and don’t want to listen to the truth and be corrected. Because of this attitude, many preachers, who belong to the world and stand in the service of man instead of God, adjusted the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to what people want to hear.

The carnal people have gathered these preachers, who are in reality sons of the devil and have the spirit of this world in them and many times live in sin and/or approve people’s sins and speak words that please and strengthen the flesh of people.

These preachers don’t preach the Kingdom of God and don’t call the people to repentance and to live holy lives. Thay vì, they preach lies of the kingdom of darkness and allow people to have licentious lives or lead the people to licentious lives far away from God.

Since they have the spirit of the world, they speak the same (motivational) words as the people, who belong to the world and don’t know God.

They are blind leaders who walk in darkness and are invisible graves, who keep the people in bondage of death and lead them to eternal death. (Đọc thêm: Nhiều mục sư đang dẫn chiên xuống vực thẳm).

Vào thời Nô-ê, the people were too busy with their own lives

Vì như trong những ngày trước trận lụt họ đang ăn và uống, kết hôn và cho đi hôn nhân, Cho đến ngày Noe bước vào hòm, Và không biết cho đến khi lũ lụt đến, và lấy đi tất cả; Vì vậy, cũng sẽ là sự xuất hiện của con người (Matthew 24:33-39)

Vào thời Nô-ê, the people were too busy with their own lives and didn’t have time for God. They were too busy eating, uống rượu, kết hôn, and giving in marriage. This was the focus and center of their lives.

Just like these things are the focus and center of many people’s lives today. People don’t have time for Jesus Christ; Lời, và những điều của vương quốc của Chúa. They only focus on their own lives and the things of this world.

They don’t like commandments, obligations, and rules and don’t want to be bound. But they want to be free, make their own choices, and be entertained. They love to fellowship and be entertained by the things that the world and/or the church has to offer.

The harvest truly is plenteous, and Jesus looks for laborers, but many are too busy with their own lives, fellowshipping, and fulfilling their carnal pleasures.

Who wants to obey Jesus Christ, and who can Jesus trust and send? (Đọc thêm: Bộ trưởng của lửa lửa)

Vào thời Nô-ê, Noah was the only one, who was doing the work of the Lord

Đây là dòng dõi của Nô-ê: Nô -ê là một người đàn ông công bằng và hoàn hảo trong các thế hệ của mình, và Nô-ê bước đi với Chúa (Sáng Thế Ký 6:9)

Và Thiên Chúa đã nói với Nô-ê, The end of all flesh is come before me; vì trái đất tràn ngập bạo lực thông qua chúng; Và, hãy chứng kiến, Ta sẽ tiêu diệt chúng cùng với trái đất. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch (Sáng Thế Ký 6:13-14)

Vào thời Nô-ê, the people were too busy with their own lives and satisfying their carnal needs. They enjoyed the temporary pleasures that the world had to offer and lived in sin and didn’t want to listen to the truth of God.

The people didn’t want to live holy and righteous. Vì thế, the earth was corrupt.

Out of all those people, there was only one person, who separated himself from the wickedness of the people and devoted his life to God. He listened to God and His warning and stayed faithful to God and obeyed His word and was busy doing the work of God. That person was Noah.

Noah was a just and perfect man, Ai đi với Chúa, even though all the people around him walked in sin and iniquity and turned themselves away from Noah.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith (tiếng Do Thái 11:7)

Noah believed in God and obeyed His words

Noah believed in God and yielded to God and His Word. He did what God commanded him to do.

Mặc dù thực tế, that in the natural realm there were no signs of a flood, bởi Đức tin, Noah built the ark in obedience to the word of God. His eyes were fixed and he focused on building the ark.

Noah didn’t allow himself to be distracted by the people and the (độc ác) things that happened around him. But Noah remained focused on God. Noah listened to God, and obeyed His words, and was led by Him.

Vào thời Nô-ê, only Noah prepared himself for the coming of the flood

Noah did what God had commanded him to do. He prepared himself for the coming of the flood. Noah worked on the preservation of himself, gia đình anh ấy, and those who wanted to listen to Noah. Tiếc, nobody wanted to listen to the words of the righteous preacher Noah. A a result, only Noah, vợ anh ấy, his sons and daughters-in-law, and a part of the animals were saved.

As in the days of Noah, there are also few people today who are busy doing the work of God and their preservation and the salvation and preservation of others and preparing themselves for the coming of Jesus Christ.

There are only a few, who are spiritually awake and live after His will. They are busy doing the work of Jesus Christ and represent, thuyết giáo, and bring His Kingdom on earth. Để có thể, many souls are redeemed from the power of the kingdom of darkness and saved from the judgment of God and eternal death. They are out there, but there are not many.

That’s because not many people have died to self and are bold enough to speak the truth. Since the people, những người thuộc về thế giới, won’t listen to the truth, they experience resistance from people. Do đó, they compromise to prevent resistance and persecution of people.

The sons of God stand on the Word and speak the truth of God

But the true sons of God know Jesus Christ; Lời, and speak God’s truth no matter the consequences. The sons of God don’t compromise and water down the gospel. They don’t speak lies, but they keep standing on the Word and don’t deviate from the Word of God.

Các con trai của Chúa, who are born of Him, know that it’s better to be (một cách tạm thời) rejected by people, than to be rejected by Jesus Christ and God the Father for eternity on the Day of Judgment.

Bởi vì, on that Day of Judgment, every person shall be judged according to his or her works to everlasting life or everlasting punishment. And no person will be excluded.
