Summary: <br> Sermon Notes<br> Pastor Jason Oakes<br> Emmanuel Baptist Church<br> July 16, 2017<br> <br> The Gospels: Full of Grace and Truth<br> As in the Days of Noah and Lot<br> Matthew 24:36-44; Luke 17:20-37<br> <br> <br> And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)<br> <br> <br> <br> An earth-shattering STATEMENT<br> <br> <br> <br> “But of that day and hour knows no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, not even the Son, but my Father only.” (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32)<br> <br> <br> <br> Why didn’t Jesus KNOW?<br> <br> <br> <br> And he said unto the disciples, “The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see [it]. And they shall say to you, ‘See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].’” (Luke 17:22-23)<br> <br> <br> <br> False CHRIST<br> <br> <br> <br> For as the lightning, that lights out of the one [part] under heaven, shines unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.” (Luke 17:24)<br> <br> <br> RAPTURE vs. second COMING<br> Rapture<br> Christ comes in the air<br> Only his own see him<br> Prior to wrath<br> Can happen at any moment<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Second Coming<br> Christ comes to the earth<br> Every eye shall see him<br> After wrath<br> Scheduled and precise<br> <br> <br> “But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.” (Luke 17:25)<br> <br> <br> <br> Stealing their THUNDER<br> <br> <br> <br> “But as the days of Noah [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39)<br> <br> <br> <br> The days of NOAH<br> <br> <br> <br> And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were nephilim in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” (Luke 17:28-30)<br> <br> <br> <br> The days of LOT<br> <br> <br> <br> And the men said unto Lot, “Do you have any here besides yourself?
