Christians being loyal to Jesus and his teachings are just like Noah building the ark in obedience to God before the flood.

Just as God called Noah to a response of loyal acknowlewdgement by Noah's getting on with the daily work of Ark building, so God has called every true christian to be engaged in this present work. "This is the work of God, that you believe in the Son of God whom He has sent" (John 6:29). So the question to all my non-christian friends is "do you see me working on the ark (that is, loyally acknowledging Jesus Christ)?" and " will you enter into the ark (loyalty to Jesus) yourself, or make a mockery of my life's work, as well as Yahweh's message, by pressing on into the coming judgement without God's gracious provision of salvation?
Jesus said, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away , so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. (Matthew 24:36-42 ESV) In the judgement of the flood your physical location inside the ark as an act of obedience made all the difference. In the final judgement your spiritual location in the ark of Jesus Christ by faith in Him will make all the difference. Many will be swept away in judgement, others will safe and saved for the new face of Creation. I hope none of you will persist in an attempt to make a mockery of God, of Jesus, and of me.
