Beyond this, however, Noah's time was also one of great demonic activity as cited in the Book of Jude:
Jude 1:6: ―And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
A resource with much information on this subject is the book of Enoch, which was held in high esteem at the
time of Y‘shua, and is quoted by Jude:
(14)‖ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with
ten thousands of his saints,
(15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly
deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have
spoken against him.
(16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great
swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.‖ Jude 1:14- 16
The following comparison can be made between Noah‘s time and the ̳end time‘
Gen 6:6- 7 Gen 6:11- 12
- And the Lord was sorry that He had made
man on the earth, and He was grieved in His
heart, and - so the Lord said, ―I will destroy man whom
I have created from the face of the earth; both
man and beast.
11. The earth also was corrupt before God and the
earth was filled with violence.
12. So God looked upon the earth, indeed it was
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the
earth.
In the time of Noah and Lot, anarchy prevailed as people in these lawless and promiscuous societies did just
what they wanted. Force was the most common means to resolve conflicts. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, widespread spiritual and moral decline occurred. People became so corrupt that
they were ―wicked in every intent of their thoughts‖. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, people were excessively materialistic and adopted permissive lifestyles that led
to all sorts of licentiousness, including sodomy (derived from Sodom). So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, people scoffed at the men of YHWH and took no heed of the prophetic warnings
of forthcoming judgment. They regarded it as far-fetched speculation and continued with their reckless lives.
So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, YHWH gave the degenerate sinners reasonable time to repent from their evil
ways. They refused to repent and thereby sealed their own fate. They had only themselves to blame for their
downfall and affliction. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, YHWH offered a way of escape to the believers at the critical moment before He
turned in wrath to the sinners. The order of events was: first the prophetic warnings about the impending
judgment, then the safeguarding of the believers who took heed of the appeal to repent, and ultimately the
outpouring of wrath on the sinners. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, there was no security for nominal believers whose hearts were still devoted to
the things of this world. Lot‘s wife was a type of those believers who only have an outward form of godliness
but are still spiritually dead. This false pretence cost her her life at the last moment. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, an awful disaster struck this world soon after the evacuation of the believers.
Death and destruction occurred as never before in history. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, the sinners didn‘t realise how many privileges and blessings they enjoyed
because of the presence of a few believers in their midst. YHWH was prepared to pardon a whole city if
there were only ten believers. When these people (who shone like lights in a wicked and perverted
generation) were taken out of the way, the anger of YHWH was provoked and complete spiritual darkness
befell the godless. So will it be again.
In the time of Noah and Lot, people scoffed at the builders of the ark: ―and they knew nothing about what
would happen until the flood came and took them all away. This is how it will be at the Coming of the Son of
Man.‖ (Matt 24:39 NIV)
In the time of Noah and Lot, some of the ―third part of the fallen angels‖ (them that were thrown out of
heaven so long before the time of Noah and Lot - Isaiah 14:14-15, Rev 12:3-4) slept with the daughters of
men and married them (Gen 6:1-8, Gen 19:1-11). The result of this wicked/ungodly mixture was the
―Nephilim (evil spirits/demons). Satan‘s plan was to contaminate the human race to prevent ―The Seed‖ (Gen
3:15, Isaiah 7:14 – referring to Y‘shua) from being born through a pure and uncontaminated bloodline. Avinu
