The day Noah entered the ark points to the day of the rapture of the church.

 

Family, a little reflection on the time of Noah in connection with the expected rapture of the church. If the coming of the Lord will take place as in the days of Noah, as the Lord Jesus himself repeatedly spoke about, then the day when Noah entered the ark can point us to the day of the rapture. From the Scriptures, we can accurately determine not only the day of the flood, but also the day when Noah entered the ark, which can be important for us.

 

1. In Genesis it is written how far in advance the day of the flood was announced to Noah. Gen 7:4: "for yet seven days, and I will send rain on the earth..." Noah was clearly told that after seven days, that is, on the eighth day, the flood would begin.

 

2. Furthermore, in Genesis we are told on which day the flood began, and on which day Noah entered the ark. Gen 7:11-13: “… in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. On that very day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.” These verses clearly state that Noah entered the ark on the very day of the flood. This also corresponds to Lot’s situation, because he also left Sodom on the very same day that the entire area was destroyed.

 

3. The Lord Jesus speaks in the Gospels that His coming for the church will be like the days of Noah and Lot. Mt 24:37-39: “For as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

 

Many may object that the connection between the Lord’s coming and the time of Noah only refers to a similar situation in the world. However, this may not be true, because in the text above it says: “So will the coming of the Son of Man be, that is, the same time as the days of Noah.” Confirmation of this reasoning can be seen in verse 42 where it is written: “Therefore watch, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” Here it is said that we do not know the hour when our Lord will come. Many translations in this place say that we do not know the day, but this is a bad translation. The Greek original clearly speaks of an hour. The same is then repeated in verse 44, where it again speaks of an hour that we do not know.

 

It is therefore very likely that the Lord connected the time of Noah not only with the situation in the world, but also with the day when Noah entered the ark, just before God's judgment began. Likewise, the rapture can occur on this day just before an event occurs that will change the situation on Earth and according to Luke 21:35: ..."that day will come as a snare upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth."

 

4. An event occurred that affected the church worldwide and that had never happened before, since 2017. A man from Africa arose who claimed that the rapture would occur on September 23rd of this year for a billion percent and that the church would not be here on September 25th, 2025, one hundred percent because it would be raptured. He spoke about it with such certainty that many Christians around the world believed it. There was great anticipation of the rapture on this day.

 

I have often wondered how the cry described in Matthew 25, where it is said: “Behold, the bridegroom is here; go out to meet him,” can be heard. This cry has several requirements from Scripture as to how it should be heard and what it must do.

1. This cry must not be noticed by the unbelieving world, because it must not know anything until the moment of the rapture.

2. There must be a discussion between the wise and foolish virgins.

3. The cry must not be caused by God himself, because even the foolish virgins would have filled their oil, and this is not possible according to Scripture.

 

However, the cry created by this man from Africa perfectly meets these three requirements. The world did not respond to this cry. Because what the man brought was false and the deadline was not met, the foolish virgins did not change their position and, on the contrary, perhaps even more were added. Last but not least, an intense discussion between the wise and foolish virgins occurred, which continues to this day. This situation fulfilled all three conditions. God used this situation to create the cry from Matthew 25, which has never been heard with such intensity in the last 8 years.

 

The day when Noah was told according to the Scriptures that the flood would begin in seven days is Cheshvan 10, which is November 1 this year on our calendar. It is exactly 40 days from September 23rd, on which the cry was made that the bridegroom was coming. The day when Noah entered the ark and the flood began is according to the Scriptures Cheshvan 17, which is November 7th to 8th this year on our calendar. Now, from November 1st, we are given a seven-day preparation for the very likely day of the rapture, November 8th, 2025

 

In conclusion. I know of no other day, nor any other event described in the Bible, that would so clearly point to the time of the rapture as the time of Noah and the revealed day of the flood. Why did God have the exact day of the flood and the day Noah entered the ark written in the Scriptures? I see only one reason why we should see that day and prepare for that probable day of the rapture. To enter the ark with faith in our hearts, just as Noah did, and was saved from God's judgment in the ark. We also now expect the same, that we may escape all the things that are coming upon this world, according to the promise of the Scriptures.
