Recently finished reading just that. That the antediluvians were a very strong, big, smart race of mankind, and who lived for hundreds of years, but were evil in all their doings. The book by E.G. White is called, "Patriarchs and Prophets."
Over the years of learning, it has become irrefutable that "history" (the actual happenings) were designed by God to become prophetic in nature for those who shall live subsequently and in the "end times." They act as warnings to all generations as examples of consequences brought about by the priests, leaders, and the people themselves for having rejected the God of Creation and Redemption. The "Flood" was a distinctly blatant example of such a thing. It was by the Hand of God in order to quell the potential of sin becoming further spread.
This seems to be evidently what the USA and other countries who follow her, are experiencing with (a type of flood) social, political, physical, (geological) unrest. All due to the "spiritual" neglect shown God. He has been pulling back His Hand of Heavenly Protection from these. And since it appears that the "stiff-necked" nation's pride is in the conductor's seat, that as a nation, she will be "visited" with further tremendous tribulations, all of which will be brought about by her own doing.
History should teach the world of these things, but the devil has so arranged his chess pieces to confound much of the counter-measures emplaced by God. (God must adhere to the rules of righteousness; a disadvantage that the adversary circumvents.) But being in control and fully capable of whatever God's Will should dictate, the Lord will not leave His "children" without a measure of safety, provision and the full promise of Redemption. So we're in good Hands.
I believe that the graduating trials and circumstances which are to follow are for a wake-up call. If we look inward by way of the microscope, we discover undeniable "creation." When we look around us, we see a plethora of wonderful living gifts, all acting their part in the grand scheme of things, not engaged in warfare with each other for dominance. If we should look at the heavens through our powerful telescopes, we see not only perfect "order" but beauty and symmetry. Awe inspiring to be sure! And when the geologists set foot in the field to study with hammer in hand, along with the collected data from previous investigations and studies of disciplined experts, they inevitably find what the world-wide flood has obviously left in its wake.
Every form of contortion is exerted so as to discredit the Bible's Truth, regardless how juvenile or unscientific the posit might be. And the students' spongy brains suck up every misleading drop of insanity as though it makes sense. 'Not their fault, really. Much like how the church-goers trust with implicit unconcern their pastors and priests. But we have been given the amazing ability to weigh up evidence and come to a right conclusion, if we are at all honest souls.
Satan is depending on the people staying in a condition of semi-consciousness. God is about to "throw some cold water on that scene." Soon we will be inclined to make a choice, whether it be to the good or to the evil.
Even non-believers, those not partaking in evildoing, feel there is (way too) much wickedness going on, and that an event (or rather a sequence of catastrophic events) will take place. May we stand strong and protected under Our Lord's wings. Be blessed!
Hi Sophie!
Thanks for your return.
