SEVEN DAYS
The Countdown Begins

Seven
The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming - you could not have asked for a more picture perfect day. All around the ark people are beginning to gather to see the spectacle. Yes they plan on having a grand time at Noah’s expense.

Six
The new day dawns bright and clear. Yet another picture perfect day. A gentle breeze made waves in the grassy meadows. The bees busily gather the nectar from the flowers. And the party outside the ark is just getting started.

Five
Yet another picture perfect day, altogether glorious. The crowds are really beginning to grow now as more people come to join the party. Vendors are doing a brisk business selling “I survived Noah’s flood�?t-shirts. Bookies are busy taking bet on how long the deluded old fool will remain in the ark. Yes, it was a good time for all.

Four
Another day dawns, another perfect day. Clear sky, bright sun, the birds singing their songs, the frogs chirping in the streams and ponds. And the wicked oblivious to any danger continue their party. Who ever thought a deluded old prophet could provide so much entertainment.

Being on a lunar calendar, either this or the next night would have been a full moon. And boy oh boy, did they ever have a howling good time. “Hey Noah! Come on out. You are missing the party.�?

Three
The next day as the sun once again rose on yet another picture perfect day, the partiers were all strung out and hung-over from the last night’s bash.

Two
The sixth day dawns, and the party begins to wind up again as the partyer’s recover from the previous night’s wild full-moon bash.

One
The seventh day. Another picture perfect day. Yet little do the antediluvians realize that this is the last day. The birds are still singing, the flowers are still blooming, the butterflies are still flitting, the bees are still buzzing . . . . . - - - - "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Matthew 24:37.

2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
