BIBLICAL HISTORY SHOWS US GOD’S PEOPLE REPEATEDLY IGNORED HIS WARNINGS OF HIS COMING JUDGEMENT

An estimated 25% to 30% of the Bible is prophecy and much of it is now fulfilled, no mistakes, so why don’t we believe the end times prophecies that are now being fulfilled in our time?

I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purposeIsaiah 46:9-10

Although it appears Enoch and Noah preached the coming end of the pre-flood world, no one responded. Even with the witness bore through the name Methuselah, which meant his death shall bring judgment, no action was taken except for Noah and his family.
Throughout Scripture, the response of these ancient people is conveyed—they continued eating, drinking, and marrying until the promised curtain closed. The same is said of those in the cities of the
plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed by fire and brimstone.
This pattern is repeated throughout the entire Bible. A warning of judgment is given by God and ignored.
The warning is repeated through spokesmen sent by God, and those warnings are unheeded. Promised signs appeared, and those too are disregarded. Time passes, and people take that as further proof there will never be a judgment. But in every case, the promised catastrophic event occurs just as foretold.
This was the case with the flood. Then with Sodom and Gomorrah.
We observe it happen to the northern ten tribes of Israel by the hand of the Assyrians. Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah had warned them. Warnings had begun with Moses, close to 700 years before the event. Israelites were told if they didn’t repent and turn from idolatry they’d be driven out of the land. Micah clearly stated the Assyrians would come from the north. And it happened. Prophets also preached to the southern tribes in Judah, and the events there paralleled what had happened in the North. These
two southern tribes had received the same warnings from Moses recorded in the Torah. They’d hear from Joel, Isaiah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and others. Yet they never responded, and the Babylonians invaded Judah and carried them away into captivity. Beyond the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity, those same
prophets warned of a time when Israel would be scattered to the four corners of the earth. This would be fulfilled after Jesus ascended into Heaven when the Romans besieged and eventually ransacked
Jerusalem in 70 AD.
This pattern of warning, unbelief, and judgment has repeated itself over and over. Sadly, we see it today, the end times signs which Jesus, John (Revelation) and the prophets have given us are being ignored and as Peter warned scoffed at.

Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation. 2 Peter 3:3-4

What are you doing with Jesus warnings in the Oliver Discourse – Matthew 24 and Mathew 25? Do you know we are living in the last days before Jesus returns first to rescue the Saints but then to pour out His wrath on an unbelieving world with the Trumpet (Revelation 8) and Bowl (Revelation 16) judgements?
