I read a book this morning written by evangelist Perry Stone titled Unlocking Secrets in the Second Coming Scrolls; great book, I highly recommend it.  It being the "11th hour," I am compelled to share some important information I learned and excerpts from the book below:

There were "three levels of warnings" before the destructive flood of Noah's day.  The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus revealed in his writings, The Antiquities of the Jews, that "God imparted to Adam a revelation that the earth would be destroyed twice, once by a volume of water and later by the violence of fire."  According to Josephus, Adam imparted this information to his son, Seth, who in turn passed on the urgent warning on to his sons. 

The first method of warning was the prophetic message given by Adam to his sons, who then passed the urgent warning down to their sons.

Seth's sons then engraved the message in brick and stone.  Josephus wrote of the sons of Seth:

They were also the inventors of that peculiar sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies and their order. And that their inventions might not be lost before they were sufficiently known, upon Adam's prediction that the world was to be destroyed at one time by the force of fire and at another time by the violence and quantity of water, they made two pillars, one of brick and the other of stone: they inscribed their discoveries on them both, that in case the brick might be destroyed by the flood, the pillar of stone might remain and exhibit these discoveries to mankind; and also to inform them that there was another pillar of brick erected by them. Now this remains in the land of Siriad to this day. (Flavius Josephus. Antiquities of the Jews, Chapter II, section 3).

The second method of warning was the messages inscribed on stone and brick.

Enoch was the seventh righteous man from Adam.  The Word of God says, "Enoch lived sixty-five years and begot Methuselah.  After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him" Genesis 5:21-24.

Perry Stone pointed out that Enoch began walking with God at age 65, after the birth of Methuselah.  He asked, "Why did the birth of Enoch's son, Methuselah, motivate Enoch toward such spiritual dedication? The meaning of Methuselah's name may shed some light on this question." He described how that Methuselah's Hebrew name is a combination of the word met, which means death, and the word shelach, which means to initiate something.  The root word means "to throw a spear or a javelin."  The English letter u in Methuselah's name is the Hebrew letter vav, which means his death.  Therefore, the meaning of Methuselah's name is "his death will initiate," or "his death will bring it."  It was revealed to Enoch that something cataclysmic would happen upon the death of Methuselah.  Some traditions indicate that Enoch was taken to heaven at age 65, where he received the knowledge of heavenly mysteries. One revelation was that when Methuselah died, a flood would cover the earth.

The third message was the testimony of Methuselah.

Reading Perry Stone's book brought my thoughts to the present and how we are on the brink of another major catastrophic fulfillment of prophecy, and I pondered the methods being used to warn the people at this time. 

Jesus said, "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be, for as in the days that were 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.

In other words, life will be going on as usual, nothing so out of the ordinary as to indicate that the Lord would appear.  People, just as in the days of Noah, will mock the warnings, such as those written daily on this website.  The Word of God says that people will even say, "Where is the promise of His coming? for since the father's fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation" 2 Peter3:4. 

Did the flood happen?  You can think not, but as sure as the world turns, the flood came and only Noah and his family were saved among the people that populated the entire world.  The accounts of Noah and the flood were written in ancient transcripts, aside from the Biblical account.  There have also been numerous testimonies of the ark having been seen within the ice covering Mount Ararat and samples of the ancient wood have been retrieved from the site.  Archeologists have also confirmed a worldwide flood. 

Eight souls among the world's population were spared, because they entered the ark and heeded the prophetic warnings.  Comparatively, there will be few that make heaven from the world's population today.  Jesus also said, "Enter in at the straight gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be which go into it; because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leads unto life, and few be that find it" Matthew 7:13-14. 

The signs of the latter days, spoken of by the prophets, are finally here and many are outlined throughout this website.  If you haven't yet, won't you come into the "ark of salvation" through Jesus Christ, before it is too late and you step into eternity?  If you haven't made that choice, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  Your eternal destiny depends on it.  God bless you.
