In this sermon, the preacher discusses the current state of the world and the challenges faced by those who stand for God.

And friends, we come today to the flood. Now, the entire human family had turned from God. There's none righteous, no not one, but here was one man who walked with God, he believed God.
Here's a man still trusted God, by faith Noah. Here's a man was willing to risk building a boat on dry land, and if the rains didn't come, he certainly would be the laughing stock of the community. I think he was for a hundred and twenty years.
He believed God. Now, there is a striking contrast between the fact that the days of Noah to be duplicated before the Lord comes again to the earth, and that's for his not rapture, but coming to the earth to establish his kingdom. But there's some remarkable parallels that have already taken place.
For instance, the way this chapter opened. It came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, daughters born under them. There was this tremendous population increase, and man had spread by that time pretty much over the earth.
He was in North America. He was here. He was in Asia, in Europe, and in Africa.
He'd spread in every direction. And today we have this tremendous population explosion, and men again will increase on the face of the earth. And then there is the fact that during the great tribulation period, the Holy Spirit will no longer restrain evil.
Now, he'll still be there to convert men, but he'll not be restraining evil on the earth. We're told very definitely. And God's overtures to man will be despised and rejected, and certainly they are today.
Isn't it amazing that the only ones that are listened to today are the liberal Protestant ministers and the Roman Catholic? You hear nothing today of conservative man. Now, they've attempted to make some sort of an inroad, but they've had several conventions, and they're trying their best to get back in the mainstream. But we've come to the day that if you're going to stand for God, you're going to find out that you will not be able to talk before a TV camera very often.
You've got to learn to protest and march and deny everything before that. Now, may I say to you, of course, the world in that day will be faced with the great problem of the rapture. There'll have been a great number of people that have left the earth.
And may I say also there were judgments in that day, and yet they did not heed them. That was the warning that God had given.
