“AND THE LORD SHUT HIM IN”….THEN SOON CAME THE END!

Mark Owen

Genesis 7: 1, 4, 10, 16

“And the Lord said unto Noah, ‘COME THOU and all thy house INTO THE ARK; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation …For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth…And it came to pass AFTER SEVEN DAYS, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth … And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: AND THE LORD SHUT HIM IN”.

SEVEN DAYS BEFORE the long promised, yet long-delayed WRATH OF GOD was poured out upon the earth, the Lord called Noah INTO THE ARK, along with the clean and unclean animals and birds and beasts which God had assembled.

GOD WAS INSIDE THE ARK, when calling Noah INTO IT! He did NOT say GO into the ark, but “COME”!

They WAITED there in the ark for ONE WEEK, no doubt to allow any other people from the “WORLD” to escape.

The door REMAINED OPEN for one final week. Whosoever would but HEED the call of Noah, could yet be SAVED, but by the time of the last week the people were UTTERLY OBLIVIOUS!

There were TOO MANY OTHER AMUSEMENTS, DISTRACTIONS and ENTERTAINMENTS going on for them, to THINK TOO DEEPLY about the eccentric family with its menagerie of animals, clambering ABOARD the pitch covered ARK!

AFTER SEVEN DAYS of settling and WAITING WITHIN THE ARK, THE DOOR WAS SHUT and the raindrops began to fall.

Jesus said of them that it was BUSINESS AS USUAL for them, “…until the day Noah entered into the Ark, they KNEW NOT UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY …” (Mat. 24:39).

After seven days, GOD HIMSELF CLOSED THE DOOR!

As long as the DOOR IS OPEN, there remains a CHANCE for men to be SAVED from the COMING WRATH … But there does come a time when GOD CLOSES THE DOOR!

When JUDGMENT came, it came QUICKLY, and WITHOUT WARNING!

THERE WAS NO TIME FOR NOAH TO GIVE THEM ONE FINAL WARNING, AS THE LORD SHUT HIM IN!

THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYONE PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD … TO STOP WARNING … AND TO BOARD THE ARK, LIKE NOAH!

“BUT AS THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And KNEW NOT until the flood came, and took them all away; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE” (Mat. 24:37-39).

The SAME will be true in the last days! There will be NO DRAMATIC INDICATIONS that “THE DAY” or “THE HOUR” (of judgment) has come!

TWO MEN will be in the field, going about their NORMAL DAILY ROUTINE; one will be TAKEN, the other will be LEFT! TWO WOMEN will be grinding grain, just as they NORMALLY WOULD; one will be TAKEN, the other will be LEFT (Mat. 24:40-41).

The APPLICATION is now spelled out in verses 42-44.

Since NO ONE CAN KNOW the day or the hour that the LORD WILL COME, we must be CONSTANTLY in a state of ALERTNESS, READY AT ANY MOMENT!

Have you ever wondered WHY it is that the WISE VIRGINS REFUSE to assist the FOOLISH virgins by SHARING A LITTLE OIL from their own lamps?

It WASN’T that the five wise virgins DIDN’T CARE; it was because there would NOT BE ENOUGH OIL FOR ALL TEN LAMPS!

IF SPENDING TIME, TEACHING OTHERS, IS DRAINING YOUR OIL … IT’S TIME TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING … AND TAKE TIME TO FILL UP YOUR OWN OIL LEVELS AT THE MASTER’S FEET, … INSIDE THE ARK, … IN ORDER TO BE RAPTURE READY!

“And while they went to buy, the BRIDEGROOM CAME; and they that were READY went in with him to the marriage: AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, OPEN to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I KNOW YOU NOT” (Mat. 25:10-12).

In our text, the FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS are NOT given the time to REVERSE their folly, once the GROOM has come!

They had their OPPORTUNITY, and they LOST it. Now it is TOO LATE!

I believe that the five FOOLISH virgins had NO OIL, for the very same reasons people continue to RUN OUT OF GAS, even when the FLASHING MESSAGE on their INSTRUMENT PANEL tells them they are!

First, MEN DON’T BELIEVE THE WARNING SIGNS!

They DON’T think things are as BAD as they are reported to be!

“I must have MORE GAS than that!” Or, “I’ve gotten THIS SAME MESSAGE BEFORE, and I’ve ALWAYS been able to get to the gas station, BEFORE RUNNING OUT”!

Those who RUN OUT OF GAS (or refuse to buy oil), are the people who REFUSE TO HEED THE WARNINGS of God’s Word!

Those who DON’T PURCHASE FUEL are those who DON’T THINK THEY NEED IT, at least at the moment!

Those who RUN OUT OF FUEL, are those who WRONGLY SUPPOSE that they still have PLENTY OF TIME TO GET IT LATER!

WE KNOW when our gas gauge is LOW!

THEY..WE CAN SEE THE FLASHING LIGHTS on the dash, but we LULL OURSELVES into thinking that there is still PLENTY OF TIME TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM!

This FALSE CONFIDENCE has gotten many people into TROUBLE!

The COMING OF OUR LORD will be SUDDEN and UNEXPECTED, and when He comes, all chances of CHANGING our course, have been FORFEITED!

JESUS CONCLUDED ALL HIS MESSAGES to the 7 CHURCHES in the book of Revelation, by saying: “He that hath an ear, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES” .

GOD’S VOICE is heard only by those SHUT UP WITH HIM IN SECRET PRAYER!

God is VERY CAREFUL to whom He speaks. It is only to those who VALUE His voice so much, THEY SHUT OUT THE WHOLE WORLD TO GET ALONE AND WAIT FOR HIM:

God’s voice came to MOSES, when he was shut up ALONE with HIM.
The word came to JOHN THE BAPTIST, ALONE in the WILDERNESS.
The voice of God came to JACOB, in the DESERT of Haran.
God spoke to JOSHUA, when he went OUT of the camp, ALONE, before Jericho.
The voice of God came to PAUL, ALONE in the DESERT.
The voice of the Father came to JESUS, ALONE on the MOUNTAIN in PRAYER.

God says to us, “If you WANT TO HEAR My voice, SHUT yourself up in the SECRET CLOSET of PRAYER”!

BUSYNESS, LUSTS, COVETOUSNESS, and the CARES of life, CHOKE OUT THE VOICE OF GOD!

Jesus gave us a DREADFUL WARNING against becoming TOO BUSY, TO STOP AND HEAR HIS VOICE! In the PARABLE of the SOWER, the WORD is HIS VOICE:

“These are they which are sown among THORNS; such as HEAR THE WORD, and the CARES of this world, and the DECEITFULNESS of riches, and the LUSTS of other things entering in, CHOKE THE WORD, and it becometh UNFRUITFUL” (Mark 4:18-19).

I fear there are SOME READING THIS RIGHT NOW, who have been CHOKING the voice of God!

Choke here, means “TO CROWD” or to DROWN OUT His voice!

God ONCE spoke so CLEARLY to you! It was such a JOY to you. You still LOVE Him, but you have LESS and LESS TIME FOR HIM!

Your BUSYNESS now calls you – your RICHES, your CARES, your PROBLEMS, your FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK, and all the other things CONSUMING YOUR TIME!

The voice of God now GROWS DIM! He is CALLING you, WOOING you; WARNING you:

“KEEP THIS UP, AND YOU WILL TOTALLY CHOKE AND DROWN OUT MY VOICE IN YOU”!!!

It is NOT OF GOD and it is NOT HOLY GHOST DISCERNMENT – unless it was born in the SECRET CLOSET, out of a DEEP COMMUNION, a BROKEN SPIRIT, and MUCH TIME SPENT ALONE IN HIS PRESENCE!

I am convinced that ALL God’s people would be able to HEAR HIS STILL, SMALL VOICE, if they simply would lay down SIN and IDOLS and would get SHUT IN WITH HIM ALONE – and not leave until He speaks!

God is speaking a fresh word every day, TO ALL WHO WILL HEAR; but many CANNOT HEAR IT, because their HEARTS ARE GROWING HARD!

In Hebrews we read, “… TODAY, if ye will hear His voice, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS …” (Hebrews 3:7-8).

God’s voice is a “TODAY” voice!

“He that hath the BRIDE is the BRIDEGROOM: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and HEARETH HIM, REJOICETH GREATLY because of the BRIDEGROOM’S VOICE: this my JOY therefore is fulfilled” (John 3:29).

OUR GREATEST JOY SHOULD BE: “I HEARD HIS VOICE! I stood alone, waiting, and I heard Him speak to me!”

The Holy Spirit will STRIVE FOR A WHILE, then it CEASED, when GOD SHUT THE DOOR!

The ARK brought Noah from the OLD WORLD to the NEW – from the valley of SORROW to the mountain of REST!

You must ENTER IN, for TODAY the door is OPEN! Soon God shall SHUT THE DOOR!

DON’T WAIT FOR THE TRUMPET TO SOUND!

On that day, it will be TOO LATE for the ones who NEGLECTED TO TAKE TIME TO HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, and it will also be TOO LATE for the ones who WERE PREPARED THEMSELVES, to prepare ANYONE ELSE!

“WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, that ye may be accounted WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL these things that shall come to pass, and to STAND before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36).

America’s Path to Destruction According to Holy Scripture [podcast]

Sadly, so many today, who claim to be Christians, spend more time, money, and energy seeking to save the sinking ship called America (a corporation under which they are slaves) than they do obeying Christ’s Great Commission command to teach His Word and preach the Gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20). They have chosen America over the LORD (Matthew 6:24; 12:30). So very man “church” members and yet Jesus Christ is not their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) Patriotism is their idol, vainly believing they can vote away divine judgment. Most of their time, money, and energy is wasted on the futility of the temporal. Nothing will save America – no campaign, political party, voting block, or otherwise. God is judging America. It’s over as we once knew it.

God judges nations and has a timing, a frame of time, an “instant” including a beginning and ending point, where He judges nations (Jeremiah 18:7). And America is under His judgment, and it going to get much worse (Jeremiah 18).

America is under Divine Judgment

“This is exactly where we are! Things are about to wax worse and worse in this country! Jesus warned us a greater tribulation is coming (Mat 24:21). This world is becoming darker and darker. It will be a challenge to all who put their faith in Christ. Will our faith stand in the midst of severe persecution (1 Peter 1:6-9)? God will try it in the fire, subjecting it to intense heat. The ultimate goal is to purge out all unbelief and impurities. The genuineness of our faith can only be proved in the fire. During hard times of tribulations the lukewarm will drift away, but genuine faith will endure! And the reward will be final salvation (Mat 24:13).” Karen Cochran

The ultimate reason America is being destroyed is not, as some imagine, due to “bad leadership.” No. America is being destroy from within and without due to the rebellion of its people – the sin against God and refusal to repent. Read Jeremiah 18 and Isaiah 1.

Destruction Comes when leaders are allowed to pervert justice!

“The heads (leaders) thereof judge for reward (take bribes), and the priests (religious leaders) thereof teach for hire, and the prophets (religious leaders) thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.” Micah 3:11-12

Government Servants and Bribes

“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts (bribes) overthroweth it.” Proverbs 29:4

Inflation Revelation 6

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:6

Excessive Inflation is judgment.

“They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.” Ezekiel 7:19

Timeline of Impending Doom

Someone is saying “But brother I’ve been listening to dreams and prophecies people are getting about our nation.”

Our hearts can deceive us (Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9). We can only be fully “sure” by reading, studying, and knowing the “MORE SURE WORD of prophecy” which is the Holy Scriptures (2 Peter 1:19-21).

“God’s judgment is upon America. We have become Sodom’s sister (Ezekiel 16:46). It’s pride that has rooted itself in the hearts of the American people. And what brings destruction upon nations? Pride! Those who love Him will be looking for a new heaven and a new earth. This world is not our home.

This podcast nailed it biblically! America is defiled, clear to the core, with shocking wickedness. Are we ‘MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH’ ? (Revelation 17:5)? Is the United States the entity ‘having a golden cup’, luring people in by saying “We are the greatest country on earth’ ? (Revelation 17:4) Although we may look appealing because we are supposedly a wealthy country, we are full of abominations, rebellion, sin, pride and full of blasphemy against a holy and righteous God!

We are experiencing His wrath. A nation cannot parade around saying it is ok to change your sex, cut off parts of little children, kill babies up to birth, kill their very own family members, teach pornography to children, mock God, reject the gospel and not expect judgment to fall!” Karen Cochran

THE DISCIPLE OF JESUS SHOULD VIEW HISTORY, INCLUDING WHERE A NATION STANDS THIS DAY, BY “THE MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” WHICH IS THE HOLY SCRIPTURES (Isaiah 46:9-10; 57:15; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Looking at the USA through the lens of Scripture is what is important. We have murdered over 60 million precious innocent babies and called it “choice” but God calls it murder and commands us “Thou not kill.” (Exodus 20:13). The US is over and has been for a long time, as we once knew it. Military men: This isn’t the same USA you and I both signed up to serve. This isn’t the same USA we were born and raised in.

This list of sins in the above passage begins with these 3:

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
haughty
committed abomination (rampant fornication – just as in the days leading up to the Noahic flood. See Genesis 6)

In the bulleted sins listed above from this revealing Ezekiel 16 passage, did you notice the progression?

Though it culminated in sodomy, yet not one sex sin is even specifically mentioned in this list of Sodom’s sins in Ezekiel 16. Does this not align perfectly with the judgment we see in Romans 1, how “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God” and were unthankful, further enriching themselves while they ignored others?

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (they were ungrateful); but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21

A fresh reading of Romans 1 reveals the root sins that preceded the sexual sins which immediately go before divine judgment. See Romans 1:18-32.

The sins that darken the hearts of those who once “knew God” and lead to the ultimate abomination of sodomy/homosexuality are pride, gluttony, idleness, and refusing to be generous givers to believers in need, etc.

Let’s Look Again at the Root, the Gateway Sins of the People of Sodom and Gomorrah:

PFA listed in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
Like the fake religionists priest and Levite of Jesus’ Good Samaritan teaching, they did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)

“The deceptions are growing stronger and becoming greater in number, leading us to the ultimate deception which is the antichrist! Beware, that if possible even the elect will be deceived (Mat 24:24). See 1 Corinthians 10:12.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

“America’s root sin is pride. They call us the greatest country on earth. We celebrate gay pride. American’s trust in their pride. We have pushed God out of every part of society, yet still believe in our pride, He is blessing us, because after all, we are the greatest country on earth! We are arrogant and boastful in the power of our own might. Trump has recently built a golden alter to himself and I have seen some pastor’s bowing down. We no longer fear God! God’s judgment is falling, from heaven, upon us! He will spare a remnant just as he always promised in the OT! Faithful believer’s who only bow to Him, seeking His face, keeping themselves unspotted from the world, and remaining pure and clean. Those are His true remnant will be given the fountain of life and never thirst again (Rev 21:6).” Karen Cochran

HERE’S WHAT BEING FULFILLED, WHAT’S COMING TO PASS RIGHT NOW

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:10-14

In the midst of the prophesied great apostasy we are in, Christ’s Remnant are…

Waxing hotter in their love for God v12
Enduring to the end v13
Preaching Christ’s kingdom Gospel to the lost v14

Sin is Rooted in the Hearts of Men [podcast]

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jeremiah 17:9).

“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23

Mankind’s core dilemma is sin (Romans 1-3). Jesus Christ came and died to “save his people from their sins,“ to “taketh away the sin of the world,“ and not to merely deal with fallen man on a surface level as on a mental level (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29). God doesn’t band aid broken things, He heals and makes them whole to the root because the root determines the fruit (Matthew 12:33; Luke 4:18, etc.). Christ’s salvation is perfect. Evil is in our hearts and proceeds forth from that wicked heart until Christ regenerates us (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7). This is why the sinner must of divine necessity be born again, must be made completely new “by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5-7). Then and not before then, the born again saint of Christ is made a “a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18).

The Truth about Fallen Mankind – That Includes You!

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. … O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 24

Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation?

Don’t trust yourself, trust God and deny self! “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 26:28).

Only Satan and his children live by the diabolical edict of “be true to yourself.” Knowing how wretched they are of themselves, without Christ, those who are known of God live by “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

People don’t have a “mental health” problem, they have a SIN problem and sin is what gives way, gives full access to Satan!

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

“The state of continual sanctification, that life of purity and detachment from the world and all it’s lusts, without which detachment and sanctity no man shall see the Lord-shall never enjoy His presence in the world of blessedness. To see God, in the Hebrew phrase, is to enjoy Him; and without holiness of heart and life this is impossible. No soul can be fit for heaven that has not suitable dispositions for the place.” Adam Clark’s commentary on Holiness. Hebrews 12:14

YOUR PRAYER FOR A PURE HEART: Holy Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, desiring to be pure in heart so that I may see, enjoy, and be with You. Help me please dear LORD. Purify my heart and life of all wicked imaginations and iniquity that defile me in Your holy eyes. Please purify and cleanse me LORD and I know You require me to purify myself and to obey You. In Jesus’ name, please forgive all my sins by Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen.

So in short, if you reject the offering, meaning Christ and the Cross, ‘then sin lieth at the door.’ This means sin will DOMINATE you if any other method is used.” “Sin lieth at the door” – Temptation to sin presents itself perpetually and this is why prayer, abiding communion, perpetual communication with the Savior, command central, is […]
