God Is About To Destroy The Earth By Water . . . Again

Get ready. A storm is coming. A big one. The biggest one this world has seen in thousands of years. In fact, it's going to destroy the world. Why? Because of God's anger toward sin. Think "Noah's Ark: Part Two." Rubber rafts won't do. This thing is going to last almost six weeks.

What? You don't believe me? Why not?

Consider this passage from Isaiah 54:9-10:

"For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you nor will I rebuke you. For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken," says the Lord who has compassion on you.

God spoke in this text about the "Covenant of Peace" He was making with his people. What was included in that covenant? 1.I will not be angry with you. 2. My lovingkindness won't be taken away from you. 3. My covenant of peace toward you won't ever be disturbed.

Can you see how this covenant of peace was a foreshadowing of the New Covenant that Jesus came to ratify and activate? Did He succeed? Of course, He did. You and I live under a covenant of peace now, through God's grace.

Why, then, are we still often taught that God is angry with us about our sins? God, Himself, said, "This reminds me of Noah's day." Just like then, He has given us His Word that He won't ever become angry with us again.

If you go to church Sunday and the pastor tells the people that another flood is coming, nobody will believe Him. They know better. Let him tell those same people that God is angry because of their sins and many of them will say "Amen!" and believe every word of it.

Let's believe God's complete word. He's not angry with you and never will be. He has give us His Word on that. You don't have to build an ark. In fact, you don't even have to buy an umbrella. It's all good.
