About this episode
Jay Mijares discusses the importance of being spiritually prepared for Christ's return, using the days of Noah as a warning against spiritual blindness.
Jay Mijares’ lesson “In the Days of Noah” points us to Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24 and reminds us that the question is not whether Christ will return, but whether we will be ready when He does. Jay begins by showing that throughout history many have tried to predict the exact day of Jesus’ coming, but Scripture leaves no room for that kind of certainty. The Father alone knows the day and hour. Rather than chasing predictions, believers are called to live with watchfulness, faithfulness, and hope. Using the days of Noah as the pattern, the lesson explains that the danger is not merely war, disaster, or social unrest, but spiritual blindness. People in Noah’s generation carried on with life as usual—eating, drinking, marrying, and pursuing pleasure—while ignoring God’s warning until judgment suddenly came. Jay shows that Jesus’ point is not that ordinary life is sinful in itself, but that people can become so absorbed in self, pleasure, and distraction that they lose all awareness of God, eternity, and coming judgment. That same danger remains today wherever false teaching spreads, apostasy increases, and people treat Christ’s delay as permission to keep putting off repentance…
