THE EYE OF THE STORM

   With all that we have learned about hurricanes, especially from hurricane Katrina in 2005, we would think that people would have learned to read the sign of radar imagery that reveals the eye of the storm, which is telling them that a dangerous hurricane is heading toward dry land.
    Instead of believing in the sign of radar imagery, however, they refuse to heed the warning because they believe they will remain on dry land while the storm passes them by.

   Jesus said,
      "But as the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be.  For in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."  (Matthew 24: 37-39)

   For the people who refused to believe in the sign of hurricane Harvey, which was the radar imagery, they found themselves still living on dry land.  But as the storm came ashore and waters began to swell beneath their feet, they also found themselves looking for an ark to come to their rescue, to lift them up from the water and to safety in another place. 
  Arks arrived for some, however, while others died because of their pride to believe that their lives would proceed unhindered:  or that the sign of radar imagery did not apply to them.

   Jesus said,
      "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing with fear, and for looking after those things that are coming upon the earth:  for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the cloud with power and great glory."  (Luke 21: 25-27)

   We also know that the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, was a sign from God out heaven, telling us that events are coming on the earth before the return of the Lord.  These events will be troublesome and painful, and the only hope people have is to get in the ark with Christ and be saved when storm clouds gather.
