What Of The Day?
By:Dana Smith
“Oh Prophet, what of the Day?” screams the headlines today. Paul wrote that in the latter days, which include us, “perilous times” shall be the theme of the day.
This word describes a society that is totally removed from any godliness. It is a time when wicked people do wickedly and wickedness is upon the earth. Has there ever been a time as this.
Yes, Jesus said that “as in the days of Noah”, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man. Those six words describe Paul’s society of Perilous times. In fact the bible says it this way:
Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
The word “violence” according to strongs Hebrew #2555, transliterated into English means violence, destruction, cruelty, wrong, injustice, hatred, false, unrighteousness. It comes from a verb transliterated as ‘Hamas’ to do violently, to do violence, to do harm, to lay waste, to think up, devise, and to be stripped of. This verb has cognates in Aramaic, Akkadian, and Arabic, according to my libronix research library. Does the Word ‘Hamas’ mean anything to you today? It pictures such a society that God said “the end of all flesh is come before me”. Peter said of this society it was “ungodly” and that Noah was a “preacher of righteousness”. Noah was not just building his ark 8 hours a day, going home drinking latte’s, and then going to bed. In the spare time, and while this man was building an ark, he was speaking to those around him to repent. He did this so much, he was considered
a “preacher of righteousness”.
In this we see the mercy of God, in that he actually waited to destroy the inhabitants of the earth until the ark of safety was built. Today, Jesus [Iesos, in Hebrew Yeshua HaMassiach] is our ARK of safety. If we repent and turn from our ways, we shall be saved from the wrath of God. If we do not, then the wrath will be upon those who follow this course.
In our society many do as they think is normal and good. They work, keep some sort of morals, and follow the democratic law for a society. Howbeit, some do not. For those law breakers, we provide justice. Sometimes though, lately, the justice is skewed. The money a man has can buy a lawyer who will defend him. If he is good enough in the defense, the defendant gets off the hook. We declare him innocent. How many of these guilty men who were declared innocent got off scot free. Then there is those who are really innocent and were declared guilty. This is the law of man, imperfect. The law of God is perfect. He has provided a way for you to be declared innocent through the blood of Jesus Christ. If you believe, you can walk in the shadow of Gods provisions and find safety.
As you live and work in today’s society, don’t look to man. Man will not solve the problems of this world. Don’t look to religion, it will kill you. Look to the Lord. A relationship with Him is not a religion, but an experience with the risen conquering Savior and ruler of all things.
Furthermore, as you look at the headlines see the turmoil which relates to the ‘perilous times’ Paul talked about. Today, the headlines of a certain major news magazine had 12 plus stories related to sex. From molestation, gay issues, and more, our society is steeped in this sex issue. As we follow the headlines, you will read of Wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, plagues, natural disasters, murders, and more.
Truly, the days of Noah are here. The world is filled with violence; the end of all flesh has come before the Lord. He is coming soon...

The Bible is a Book that has two main divisions in - the Old Testament and the New Testament. Even though there are these distinct parts of the Bible - it still has only one theme - redemption.

It was September 1957, four young men began to pray regularly in a little school near Kells, Ireland. They persevered and prevailed in prayer, so someone was converted in January the next year. Following that, there was about one conversion every week. Twelve months later they had a weekly gathering of around fifty people at their meeting, and around a hundred other small prayer groups had sprung up in the area! They held a service the next year, which attracted a huge crowd, so they poured out onto the street.
