St Luke 17.30 is fulfilled in our days since the Son Of Man has come as he promised in the the days when he walked on before his death and ascent to heaven. Gen 7 warns us to hear the voice of Elijah the prophet who is a type of Noah and come to Christ before the door who is Christ is shut. The world is in sordomite condition and the holy fire of God will consume the proud and ungodly whose hearts are hardened by the god of this evil world. There will be repeat when all that is abominable on the surface of the earth and this time even under the waters will be consumed by fire from God. Hide your righteous in thy ark of ages oh loving Father in heaven
in Gen 6,GOD instructed noah to build an ark 300 cubits long,50 cubits wide,and 30 cubits high,and in Gen 7,after the rain is mentioned the water went up only 15 cubits high and all the mountains were covered. WOW its hard to fathom an ark twice as high, as the highest mountain.to build such an ark, those eight people had great lungs and stamina,wow is all i can say,...something wrong here?

God asked Noah's t bring in clean and unclean animals onto the Ark. How did Noah kew which is clean and which is unclean, because the bible didn't define clean and unclean until after Noah's life?
Jimmy's Genesis asks if Methuselah died in the Flood. Probably not. How do we know? Because of his name. "Methuselah" literally means "His death shall bring". It doesn't say WHAT it shall bring, but it is true that if you do the mathematical calculations of the genealogical table in Genesis, you find that Methuselah does indeed die in the same year as the Flood.
You also discover that Methuselah is the longest-lived man in the Bible.
So, with the naming Methuselah, God gives a warning to the world "His death shall bring..." the end. But with the length of Methuselah's life, we see how long-suffering and patient God is with man, even in all of human sinfulness. God pronounces the doom: the death of THIS man shall be the stroke of the clock that unleashes the end of the world (by Flood), but in the length of Methuselah's life, we see God drawing out that thread longer than ever before, reluctant to cut it and thereby have to be true to his word.
But in the end God does cut the thread of Methuselah's life, and in that name itself we can practically see the scene. As the elderly Methuselah closes his eyes and releases his final breath, the skies open up and the earth cracks open and the waters pour out upon the earth.
One thing is certain, that the lord killed all except the people and animals in the ark. That means men, women, children, newborns, the cripple so on and so forth. SO for the people that just believe that the lord will not end this world for the second time you need to take heed. As Jesus said the end is at hand.
TWO BY TWO - is the order inwhich they entered the ARK. Most people if you ask them, what two by two means pertaining to the NOAH they would say, "Thats how many of each species were taken into the ark". They do not understant of the clean by 7s each male and female.
THE BREATH OF LIFE: People amaze me when SCIENTIST fine a FISH that is close to a million years old.
GOD wiped out everything that had the BREATH OF LIFE; not the FISH.
So the next time someone make a discovery of a FISH that is told to be close to 2-3 millions years old, don't show your ignorance. Just say, "GOD".
Gen.1:6-8 defines "the firmament" as "heaven", which I think means atmospheric heaven (not outer space, not Heaven-God's throne place.) Gen 1:6-8 describes "waters above the firmament" and "waters under the firmament".
Therefore I should visualize waters above the atmospheric heaven, much more than clouds.
Then in Genesis 7,
Genesis 1:6-8 "And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
Elements of Genesis 1:6-8:
"firmament" is "Heaven". Seems to me that this means the atmospheric heaven.
1. "Waters which were above the firmament": seems to be signficant water up there, more than modern day clouds.
2. "waters which were under the firmament": seems to be surface waters plus subterranean water.
Then the water in Genesis 7 came from both places:
2. "were all the fountains of the great deep broken up" (some of the waters below the firmament),
1. "and the windows of heaven were opened" (the windows let through the waters from above the firmament).
I often wonder how all this took place seeing as how diverse life is on Earth. I question in my mind how so many animals fit on the ark, but I accept it with faith that this did happen. Many American Native tribe can tell in there own legends the same story of the flood. I marvel at this witness to G-d.
It appears that Methuselah, the grandfather of Noah, died in the flood. Based on my calculations, Methuselah's death and the start of the flood happened in the same year. Granted, Methuselah could have died months, weeks, or even days before the flood.
I remember the first revelaTION that all people will not be saved. I always thought that someway somehow we all will believe giving today technology. It grieves me and bring such sorrow that there will be those given all that he gaves us to see and understand will not accept it. This has made me ubderstand the urgency even more deeply and to ask for spiritual wisdom so that I can show who our Father is . Believe for our own sakes, the knowledge will come later. You can not understand faith until you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. So many people want all the answers first but thats pride. You have to believe first that He is and all things will be given to you.
Noah acted in total obidience, and took the word of God as it.
It's unlike today where people interpret the work of God to suit themselves.
Quite a lot of people and even among those in the body of Christ who relish sin and refuses to repent will all pay the ultimate price as the people of the days of Noah.
As the people of those days did not heed the warning of Noah because they believe that God cannot do it, so also the people of today. they believe that the coming of Christ has been spoken for many years, that they do not think he is going to come.Some even say things like (God cannot be that wicked as to destroy the world he claimed to have created with Love)
My prayer is that God in his mercy will wake up his children that asleep so that they don't miss the coming of Christ.
Gen 7:2-3 says clean beasts & fowl are to be taken by sevens. Gen 6:19 says to take two of everything.
Which is it? Even if this is true, both can't be right.

His death brought...the Flood.
Do you know cockroaches date back to 300-million-year. Can you tell me when did god wiped out all of "BREATH OF LIFE" animals?
I think it was only localised, not the entire world.
