"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
"By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.
"By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith." - Hebrews 11:6-7
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
"They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all." - Luke 17:26-27
The Bible tells us that the last days would be like the days of Noah.
Though the ark he built for the flood was perhaps not the most luxurious boat ever made, Noah and his family were able to abide in God's rest through the most terrible weather in human history.
The worldwide flood during Noah’s time devastated the entire world, yet Noah and his family were saved in the midst of it.
Noah's very name in Hebrew confirms the he provides for us, who must endure the current 'Days of Noah'.
The name Noah (נֹחַ) is derived from the Hebrew word "lanuach" (לָנוּחַ), meaning "to rest", and is connected to "lenacham" (לנחם), meaning "to comfort", from which we get "yenachamenu" (He will comfort us).
He will comfort us, even while the world experiences chaos, wars, and rumors of wars.
True rest and comfort can only be found in the rest that God provides.
Learn to rest in Him, for He has provided the perfect ark through which we will weather any storm and be comforted in times of trouble.
We may be living in the "Days of Noah", but we need not be shaken.
By faith, Noah made it through, we can do it the same way.
