When Yeshua Returns, Will He Find Faith

The Days of Noah and Lot
So, how was it in the days of Noah and Lot? Well, Noah had been talking about the flood for about 100 years, and no one seemed to be paying attention. Today we have many scholars and even secular people talking about the coming imminent Tribulation Period, and few seem to be paying attention. Here are some of the indicators:
• According to recent polls, a record-low number of Americans now believe the Bible is the literal word of God, which means that many think it is just made up stories or myths of a bygone era, and not divinely inspired.
• Many people believe that multiple interpretations are possible.
• A number of indicators show a decline in overall religious adherence. These include declines in formal identification with a religion, membership in a church, personal importance of religion, and a decline in belief in Yahweh/Yeshua as God Almighty.
• Adults who say they pray on a daily basis has been trending downward.
• Adults who say religion is very important in their lives has also been trending downward.
• The number of atheists and agnostics has been trending upward.
• Dozens of pastors, bishops, and self-declared “Christians” promote or approve of actions specifically called abominations by the Biblical Scriptures.
• Many people believe the church has replaced Israel as the heir of Yahweh’s promises to Abraham and his descendants.

What About Today And Its Relation To The Time Of Noah?
When Noah lived, the seas and the waves were roaring, and once again we see this in our time through the increase in tsunamis and hurricanes. But there is another way to read this: the seas often refers to the nations and people in general. Today the nations are certainly roaring as are the people.
• Many people are addicted to illicit drugs, to pornography or to sexual gratification outside of marriage.
• Immorality is on the rise. Licentiousness is on the rise.
• The world is inundated with sexual perversity, and every kind of evil.
• Today we have children killing other children in schools, police being killed at random, mothers killing, drowning, or burning their own children, and mass murders are becoming commonplace.
• Lawlessness is on the rise. The world is inundated with violence.

What About Today And Its Relation To The Time Of Lot?
Lot lived in a town that was ruled by the judges. It wasn’t the people or the legislature that were making the rules, it was judges. Did you catch that?
• Today we have judges overturning the laws voted on and passed by the people.
• Our current administration seems to go out of its way to deny Yahweh’s statutes and to challenge His rule, which will only increase the pattern of judgment by Yahweh against this country.
• Sodomy was openly practiced. Hospitality was compromised. Today we teach alternative lifestyles to children as young as Kindergartners. Every manner of sexual expression is becoming commonplace. We are being enveloped by confusion and madness.
• Lot was unable to keep his door shut – he willingly opened it to evil men thinking he could talk them out of their intent to harm. Today, when we watch TV, movies, read books, and surf the internet, are we keeping the “door” shut, or do we willingly open those doors thinking that we are tough enough to look but not be affected?

The Lack Of Faith And Its Relation To National Judgment
The United States of America has been handed over to judgment due to the increasing lack of faith in Yahweh/Yeshua as our Lord and Savior. This can be seen by:
• Our military might will no longer suffice – manly men are out and soy boys are in.
• The ability to grow food will be cursed, drought will be widespread. The land will not be able to yield its produce and the trees of the land will not be able to yield their fruit.
• Diseases are already increasing as both old and new diseases are discovered.
• Terror from outside the country will descend –spy balloons and increasing illegal immigration are two symptoms of this possibility.
• Both cattle and children will be reduced in number.
• The roads and infrastructure will fail, in fact, are already failing in many places.
• Cannibalism is rearing its ugly head.

Conclusions
Today is not much different from the times of Noah and Lot – times of a definite lack of faith in Yahweh/Yeshua. The way I see it faith, or true faith, will be hard to find. The way I see it, Yeshua is about to arrive to take the few faithful home. The way I see it, we are living in times that are exactly like the times of Noah and Lot. The way I see it, It can’t be long before Yeshua arrives!

All of these things are signs of the end of the current age, as they were signs of the end of the pre-flood age. The United States is not simply being allowed to experience harrowing events, but appears to be under the direct judgment of Yahweh, all as a direct sign of the lack of faith.

One can only ask: “When Yeshua Returns, Will He Find Faith?”

Final Thought for 2023
The stage for Yeshua’s return is being set. Prophecy continues to unfold in an escalating pattern as foretold by the Hebrew prophets. The season of the birth pains is here – they are burgeoning and not going away. Time is short – Yeshua Ha’Mashiach is coming soon – be sure you have salvation in Yeshua and keep busy reaching the lost.
