– God always warned men about the judgments that were going to fall on them.
Those who had faith in his message for his time and acted on it, in obedience to his commands, escaped the judgments that fell on the disobedient and unbelieving.
To Noah these words were addressed: “Go you and all your house into the ark; because I have seen you right in front of me.”
Noah obeyed, and was saved.
This message came to Lot: “Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord is going to destroy this city” (Gen. 7:1; 19:14).
Lot put himself in the custody of the heavenly messengers, and was saved.
So too, the disciples of Christ were warned about the destruction of Jerusalem.
Those who took notice of the sign of impending doom and fled the city escaped destruction.
So also now, we have been warned about the second coming of Christ and the destruction that is to overtake the world.
Those who heed the warning will be saved.p
