What eschatological lessons can you take from the record of the flood of Noah? 544 - 4 - 6

1 Peter 3:20, "Which sometime (G4218) were disobedient (G544), when once the longsuffering (G3115) of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
"
In my opinion, the majority the people sharing this planet have been very disobedient to the word of God. God has been long suffering as he was in the days of Noah. People go on with their lives but many seem to be becoming aware of a shift. We’ve had some pretty crazy weather in the last few years, there’s famine in the world, Ebola seems to be spreading in Africa and given international traveling, a pandemic could happen.

So how did the population of the world in Noah’s time be become so contaminated that only Noah and his family were spared?

Genesis 6:1-2, "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Genesis 6:4, "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
Jude 1:6, "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

These sons of God, also known as fallen Angels, sired a corrupted and evil population. To say that God was displeased would be putting it mildly.

Genesis 6:5-6, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

In the past Satan may have manipulated human DNA as evidence by the strange man/animal gods of Egypt. Now he has had thousands of years to improve his methodology. So rather than creating giants today Satan may have adapted to more modern methods to contaminate the human race.

The course “1601 Intro to Strategic Trend Briefings” includes Transhumanism was a real revelation to me. This following is just one slide from the teaching, “More than Human.”

“Changing Human Nature: A Futuristic Perspective:

• Transhumanism philosophy promotes the idea of human enhancement by technological means:

• Futuristic concepts like intelligence enhancement (up to 'super intelligence ')

• Techniques like genetic engineering, psychopharmacology, anti-aging therapies. Neural interfaces, wearable/implantable computers, long lasting internal organ replacement, mental uploading and so forth

• Propagated from prominent positions like the US Nanotechnology Initiative and the Oxford University philosophy department.”

Fast-forward about six millennium, it seems we are again in the days of Noah.
