Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith”

DAILY READING; Revelation 9; Nehemiah 12; Psalm 104:1-23

On Sunday, June 3, 2018, the Volcán de Fuego or “Volcano of Fire” — erupted violently in Guatemala..
It spewed ash nearly four miles into the air and buried nearby villages under avalanches of hot lava.
Fuego is one of Central America’s most active volcanoes and had erupted several other times in the past. However, its catastrophic eruption on June 3, 2018, caused more fatalities than any other previous eruptions.
This eruption unleashed deadly avalanches of hot rock, lava, ash and gas that killed over a hundred people and injured many others.
Most of the victims lived in villages on the slopes of the volcano and were killed by what is known as pyroclastic flow, a searing cloud of debris.
Earlier in 2018, the volcano had erupted, without much catastrophe, but the villagers had no idea that something worse was coming.
When the volcano erupted a second time, it sent superheated gas, boulders and lava through the villages below.
Matters were made worse because of poor weather which limited the villagers’ own response. By the time locals realized what was happening, it was too late.
The volcano erupted with ash clouds that billowed nearly 33,000 feet into the air, raining out sharp shards of rock.
It was Guatemala’s deadliest volcanic eruption since 1902 and it affected more than 1.7 million people.
Investigations revealed that the government had been forewarned about the eruption. Yet, despite receiving early warnings of the danger, the Guatemalan authorities did little to avert the situation or evacuate villagers until the fatal eruption occurred.

Throughout the history of the world, God has always made known to his people impending times of trouble, and given them time to prepare for escape.
He warned Noah and his family of the coming flood and directed them how to prepare to survive it.
By faith, Noah obeyed God and prepared an ark to the saving of his house; (Hebrews 11:7).
God also warned Lot and his family of the coming destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and told them to flee. They moved by faith and escaped.
God warned the wicked people of Ninevah, the capital city of Assyria, of God’s coming destruction through Jonah. When they repented, the judgment was averted.
Today, the Bible is again giving us early warnings of coming catastrophes in the world. There have been end-time signs of pestilence, earthquakes, economic woes etc. Jesus specifically gave these warnings that would precede the end of the age. We need to begin to move by faith to obey these divine warnings and take actions to escape the coming judgment.
As believers, we need to take heed to the instructions from God so as to avoid being caught unawares.
Indeed it is not God’s will for His people to perish. This is why He has given us the signs of the times as a way to warn us and to wake us up to our spiritual responsibilities.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 says ‘For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,’

Living a life of faith and obedience to God’s Word, and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit is the way to escape the coming judgment.
Because of Noah’s obedience to God’s Word, he was able to escape the judgment of the flood that came upon the earth.
Likewise, today, God is asking us to make preparations to enter the ark. Jesus is our ark of safety and the more we grow in our relationship with Him, the safer we are.
Jesus said that the last days on earth will be like the days of Noah. The days before the flood were filled with the same violence and wickedness that we see today, and yet in the midst of it all, Noah remained righteous and walked in line with God’s Word.
In the same way, we will also escape the coming judgment, as we heed the warnings of the Scriptures and live in accordance with God’s Word.
Just as Jesus told us in Luke 21:36, let us indeed watch and pray always, that we may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to take heed to the instructions of Scriptures. By Your grace, I shall remain spiritually prepared and alert through going deeper in my relationship with You and seeking You daily in Jesus Name.
