God Reveals The Timing Of Judgment
God revealed in advance the exact day when judgment would come upon the world in Noah's day:
"For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."
Genesis 7:4 (KJV)
God revealed in advance the exact day when Nineveh would be destroyed through judgment:
"And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."
Jonah 3:4 (KJV)
God gave advance notice of exactly when Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed so that Lot's family was able to escape just before destruction came:
"And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city."
Genesis 19:15 (KJV)
God gave advance notice of exactly what day He would bring each plague upon Egypt:
"And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land."
Exodus 9:5 (KJV)
"Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now."
Exodus 9:18 (KJV)
"Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast"
Exodus 10:4 (KJV)
We can know something about how God will behave in the future by looking at how He has behaved in the past (Hebrews 13:8). Since He has given advance notice of the precise timing for judgment in the past we should not be surprised that He is revealing the timing of the end today.
