And with that, why don't we go to the throne of grace and pray for the Lord's blessing on tonight's study?

Will you join me please?

Loving Heavenly Father, I thank you that once again you have allowed us to come in peace in one accord to hear your word and prayerfully Lord heed your word.

It is impossible for anyone to present your word without the power of your Holy Spirit.

So I pray, Lord, that you would descend your Holy Spirit in this sanctuary now and bless us

with your mighty word in your presence.

Enable us to understand what you have for us tonight, clear any distractions,

any thoughts that may be in our minds, and replace them with minds that are ready to listen,

hear and see what you have to say.

We thank you, Lord, for that which only you can do, and the power of your might.

In the mighty name of Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, we pray. Amen. All right. So tonight, our study is going to be

on the days of Noah, as it pertains to what Jesus is recorded saying, captured in the book of Matthew, specifically here, chapter 24 verses 37 through 39.

Now this is a part of the conversation he had with four disciples during the Olivet discourse that has been come to known.

And this continues to be taught, as it should be, discussed, argued in some cases, and also sometimes sadly misrepresented to the point that

sometimes we as Christians get fixated on certain things that we can miss the main points of the message.

And the main points of this message, I believe, is regarding the condition of man

and also believe the responsibility that we have as Christians prior to becoming of Jesus Christ.

Now, what coming are we talking about?

Well, I'm talking about both comings.

The rapture of the church?

Yes, absolutely.

What are we supposed to be doing prior to that?
