Intro: A parallel between Noah’s day and our day.
Genesis chapters 1-11 are historical and chapters 12-15 are biographical.
Catastrophe is the word to characterize Genesis 6:1-22.  

I. Noah lived in days of gross apostasy. In Genesis 6:1-2, sons of God refer to angels.

II. Noah lived in days of godless anarchy; see Genesis 6:5. People are openly mocking God now: homosexual rights, abortion, and living together before marriage.

III. Noah lived in days of great apathy. See Matthew 24:38-41 and Luke 17:27-30.
* Genesis 6:6: How can God be sorry? Sorry is a human characteristic to help us understand God.
* Genesis 6:8: Noah is like a breath of fresh air!

Personal Application:
1. I know I am ready if I am not being shaped by the culture.
2. I know I am ready for HIS return when I’m walking by faith.
3. I know I am ready if I have a godly fear.
