And as it was in the days of Noah,
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luke 17:26
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luke 17:26
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.
And God looked upon the earth,
and, behold, it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah,
The end of all flesh is come before me;
for the earth is filled with
violence through them;
Genesis 6:5,12,13
"....the world, ...is fast filling up its cup of iniquity. Violence and crime of every description are filling our world, and Satan is using every means to make crime and debasing vice popular. The youth who walk the streets are surrounded with handbills and notices of crime and sin, presented in some novel or to be acted at some theater. Their minds are educated into familiarity with sin.
The literature that proceeds from corrupted intellects poisons the minds of thousands in our world. Sin does not appear exceeding sinful. They hear and read so much of debasing crime and vileness that the once tender conscience which would have recoiled with horror becomes so blunted that it can dwell upon the low and vile sayings and actions of men with greedy interest."
