Heir of Righteousness    
As it Was in the Days of Noah    

   Jesus confirms the life and example of Noah; his second coming, like the flood, will come without warning.  

   As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 
...they (the wicked) knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. - Matthew 24:37-41

   If Jesus Christ the light of the world says it, we believe it! 

   There will be no signs before Jesus' partial return to receive believers, pre-Tribulation. The Holy Spirit also will withdraw. Be ready! 

   About 590 B.C., the prophet Ezekiel heard, "the word of the Lord:" 
...if a country sins against me...and I stretch out my hand against it...even if...Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the sovereign Lord. - Ezekiel 14:12-14

   Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out my wrath upon it...even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. - 14:19-20

   By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith, he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. - Hebrews 11:7 

   Peter also writes about Noah. - 1 Peter 3:19-20; 2 Peter 2:5

   Jesus didn't distinguish between the two phases of his second coming. But, new believers during the seven-year Tribulation will know when to expect his full return. Unbelievers will suffer an unexpected fate as did the wicked of Noah's day.
  

   God said rainbows are a sign He will never flood earth again. 

He didn't say there wouldn't be

          fury, wrath and a fiery lake of burning sulfur.
