Jesus said “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark…” (Matthew 24:37-38).
If you have read Genesis, you know that Jesus was describing the type of “marrying” that was taking place before the flood. In chapter six we read, “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose…There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them” (6:1-4).
- The “sons of God” in this passage are fallen angels – 200 of them – who came to Earth.
- The “daughters” were human women.
- Their offspring were “giants.” They weren’t just tall men. These are what we call Nephilim.
All ancient rabbi’s & all church fathers up to about AD 300 taught the sons of God were angels and the daughters were human women.
According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, “Fallen angels procreated the first Nephilim, leading the way to genetic tampering.”
What scholars call The 2nd Book of Enoch describes the genetic tampering that produced Nephilim, both before & again after the global flood.
When Jesus said the End Times would be as the Days of Noah, one thing He was getting at is genetic tampering with the human race.
We expect to see genetic tampering. Do we? Yes.
The most recent article I read was titled, New genome testing company helps customers weed out babies with imperfect genetics.
Excerpts:
Burgeoning West Coast genome testing company is promising prospective parents “healthy babies” by helping them to selectively discard embryos that show any sign of predisposition to unwanted physical or mental conditions.
Observers in the world of science, medicine, and children’s rights see in Orchid Health’s mission a cruel dystopian future founded upon the erasure of unconditional love from procreation and child rearing.
“I think basically sex is for fun and embryo screening is for babies,” said the company’s founder Noor Siddiqui. Genomic screenings like Orchid will only contribute to the millions of embryos that are destroyed or forsaken to indefinite cryopreservation.[1]
Jesus predicted there would be genetic tampering of an egregious type. We expect it. We see it.
Many, if not all, the things we talk about as being signs we are living in the Last Days are coming to pass: Global government, global commerce, some type of personal identifier that could be precursor to the Mark of the Beast, the exponential growth of human knowledge, e.g., through Artificial Intelligence, etc.
Besides all that, the Bible predicted that the nation of Israel would be born in a day, that Jews would return there from their dispersion all over the Earth, and that Jerusalem would be at the very heart of global tension until every nation stands against her & God intervenes.
While we are looking out at all that, we are looking up. Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church. He said, in fact He promised, He would do it before a time of Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.[2]
The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could happen anytime. Right now, for example.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.
Ready or not Jesus is coming!
