"Unfathomable"

"He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers." (Psalms 78:16) Do you think that God caused any of this mess? His cause was for the world to be saved; every since the beginning of time, God has had loved this world that He created, so much so, that He gave His only begotten Son to save it! When the Bible speaks about God "giving them up" or "abandoning them," giving man the choice to follow Him or the devil is pretty much the true meaning, as in He delivered man over to the devil, the devil being the ruler of this fallen world. That said, He never really abandoned man, as in forsaken. It was never God's intention to let man get filled with evil or become as sinful as they could possibly be. Do you remember that flood? I did a teaching on that flood once, and from what I remember, God's heart was broken for what He had to do, to not only mankind, but every other living creature that breathed through the nostrils! (Genesis 7:22) It was a really big deal to God that He had to do what He did; but the world was crazy wicked, even more wicked that it is today. At least today we have people on this world that have the Holy Spirit living in them; I would hate to see what this world will be like once we are all taken up to be with the Lord, because things are going to get really really bad. There is quite a bit of evil in this world, but nothing quite like it was in Noah's day, or what it will be during the Tribulation. When Jesus speaks about, "as in the day of Noah," I do not believe He is speaking about it being as evil as, but more to the fact that they did not pay attention to what was going to happen, nor did they care; at least not until the flood came and the boat was sealed up, then it was too late and they all drowned and died. Do you think God might be waiting for it to get really bad? I know that He is waiting for all those who will be saved to be saved; but do you think also that He is waiting for this world to reach a certain boiling point? I mean really, how much can He tolerate...
"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered the boat. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming." (Matthew 24:36-42)
