shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh;”(Gen.6.3).
Noah preached a final message to the antediluvians.
The flood came, and “the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter 3.6); and those who heeded not the message perished with it.
Q: What of the present world?
Q: Can we now expect that God’s Spirit will always strive with man?
A: His Word tells us. “The heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men” (2 Peter3.7).
---A final message will therefore precede the coming of that day,—a message of warning, as in the days before the flood.
---God has not left the world to speculate upon this subject.
---That men do speculate and indulge in fanciful conjectures concerning things to come, is not the fault of the Lord."
