Our Lord Jesus said that the day and hour of His second coming, no one knows, except our Father in heaven. But He gave a parallel to His second coming, which will be like the days of Noah. The people in Noah’s time probably knew that a flood is coming because Noah had been warning them, but they did not know that it is in their times. The bible says they had been eating, drinking and marrying, until Noah entered the ark. The sad ending was that the flood came and took them all away (Matt 24: 36-39)....To read more The Days Of Noah

As it was in the Days of Noah:

1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 You friends, are not in the dark, that Day will not come upon you like a thief. You are children of the Light, of the day. We do not belong to night and darkness. But while they are saying: all is peaceful, all secure; then destruction is upon them, suddenly as the pangs that come upon a woman in childbirth and there will be no escape.

You My friends’ - Those who love Him and keep His commands.

John 15:14-15 You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is about, I call you friends because I have disclosed to you everything that I heard from the Father.

that Day’- Jesus quoted Isaiah 61:1-2a at the commencement of His ministry. He stopped at ‘and a Day of vengeance of our God’. That therefore, must be the next prophesied event.

It is wrong to think ‘that Day’ is the Return of Jesus in His glory, for these main reasons;

1/ The situation will hardly be: ‘all is peaceful’, at the end of the Tribulation and with the Anti Christ’s army coming to attack Jerusalem!

2/ The Return will not come ‘as a thief’, that is unexpectedly, because as anyone with a Bible can read that after the AC places his image in the Temple, it will be 1260 days, then the Return.

3/ As described to us in many prophecies, the Day of wrath is a worldwide event, on all nations:

Zephaniah 1:7 Keep silent in the presence of the Lord, for the Day of the Lord is near, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and set apart those His has invited.

Isaiah 13:9 The Day of the Lord is coming, that cruel Day of wrath and fierce anger, to reduce the earth to a desolation and to destroy the wicked there.

Malachi 4:1 The Day comes, burning like a furnace, all the proud evildoers will be as stubble, that Day will set them ablaze leaving them neither root nor branch.

Revelation 6:17 For the great Day of their wrath has come and who can stand?

like a thief’- That is, unexpectedly to all the godless peoples and to those who have ignored or failed to understand the prophetic warnings.

Revelation 3:3 If you do not wake up, you will not know the moment of My coming.

Revelation 16:15 See: I am coming unexpectedly. Happy is the one who stays awake and ready.

Isaiah 46:10 From the beginning I reveal the end, from ancient times what is yet to be.

children of the light’-

1 Thess. 5:8 We who belong in the light, must keep prepared and armed with salvation.

Isaiah 42:6 I have formed and destined you to be a light to the nations.....

‘they say; all is peaceful, all secure’- The enemy nations prepare a surprise attack on Israel.

Micah 4:12 They do not understand God’s purposes, they are gathered like sheaves on the threshing floor.

Matthew 24:37-44 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. Then they ate, drank and married right up to the day Noah went into the ark. They knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. Be ready, therefore, lest He comes when you are unprepared.

suddenly destruction is upon them’- This is the Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, prophesied over 100 times in the Bible and accurately described as a CME sunstrike. Isaiah 30:26

Isaiah 47:8-11 Listen to this, you lovers of luxury, living carefree and thinking you will never be in mourning. Suddenly, in a single Day disaster will come upon you.

Jeremiah 25:32-33 The Lord says: Ruin spreads from nation to nation. A mighty tempest blows up and those whom the Lord has slain on that Day will lie scattered all over the world.

there will be no escape’-Everyone will be affected, this Day will come upon everyone. Luke 21:35

Romans 2:3 Do you imagine that you can escape the judgement of God?

Isaiah 2:19 They will creep into caves to hide when the Lord strikes the world with terror.

Revelation 6:16-17 They called out: Hide us from the wrath of God and the Lamb’.

They knew nothing, so Noah wasn't saying anything it appears
No; Today IS the same as in the days of Noah.
We [mostly] eat, drink and marry, etc, without any thought for our Creator.

Surely people now don't think things will continue on as they are, forever?
We can see there must come dramatic changes, due to over population, over use of resources. but mostly the untenable situation in the Middle East.
God has told us, His Christian peoples, how He intends to correct mankind.
Why be like the antediluvian people and ignore the warnings?

‘suddenly destruction is upon them’- This is the Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, prophesied over 100 times in the Bible and accurately described as a CME sunstrike. Isaiah 30:26

Isaiah 47:8-11 Listen to this, you lovers of luxury, living carefree and thinking you will never be in mourning. Suddenly, in a single Day disaster will come upon you."






Looking at Isaiah 30:26-27, and the prophecy describes in it's own words, a light above that of the sun, shines, to heal the people ( the remnant of Israel Joel 2:32, Zephaniah 3:13, Romans 11:5, Revelation 12:17) and the name of the Lord comes to them ( Jesus Christ our Lord) to give the testimony of the Lord ( the Gospel was preached to Israel)...



Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:



Isaiah, and all the scriptures testify of Jesus, as Jesus confirmed: John 5:39.



Then, continuing on in Isaiah 60, we read, the light came ( that same bright light which is greater than the sun) as this is the glory of the Lord risen.


Also the Gentiles come to that light, to the BRIGHTNESS of His rising, and the Gentiles are converted unto the Lord ( by the light and brightness of the Lord shining) as per Acts 15:3.



Acts 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring THE CONVERSION OF THE GENTILES: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.


Isaiah 60:1 ARISE, SHINE, FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, and THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but THE LORD SHALL ARISE upon thee, and HIS GLORY SHALL BE SEEN upon thee.
3 And THE GENTILES SHALL COME TO THY LIGHT, and kings TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF THY RISING.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because THE ABUNDANCE OF THE SEA SHALL BE CONVERTED UNTO THEE, the forces of THE GENTILES shall COME UNTO THEE.



Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Luke 24:34 Saying, THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED, and hath appeared to Simon.




We read in Acts of the conversion of the Gentiles fulfilled, and as it was to be by that light and brightness revealed from the Lord rising, it is ALSO, described in Acts, as it occurred on Apostle Paul, of the great light shining from Heaven, so that Paul could not see for the glory ( and brightness ) of that light, Which then comes to the Gentiles, as Apostle Paul is the Apostle OF the Gentiles to convert them..




Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I AM THE APOSTLE OF THE GENTILES I magnify mine office:

Acts 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

Acts 22:11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.





All is peaceful on earth right now, because it is the end, there is no faith on earth as Jesus told to us, Luke 18:8, and He did say about this day coming on us, unawares, as it does on who ?




Luke 21:34 And TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and CARES OF THIS LIFE, and SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.
35 For AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
36 WATCH YE therefore, AND PRAY ALWAYS, that YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, and TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN.

Revelation 6:17 For THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; and WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND?




Who shall be able to stand ?


Jesus said who, those who pray always to be accounted worthy to stand before the Son of man to escape all men on earth living in pleasures now. Also Noah did warn the people, they were told of what was coming to them, but if people do not hear the Lord Jesus Christ, who they say they believe in, how could the people at the time of Noah believe anything at all ?




Speaking of the Lord Jesus being revealed from Heaven, vengeance comes on all who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and it is repeated by the Apostles, how to be accounted/counted worthy of the calling..



2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also WE PRAY ALWAYS FOR YOU, THAT OUR GOD WOULD COUNT YOU WORTHY OF THIS CALLING, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.





Isaiah 47:8 Therefore HEAR NOW THIS, thou THAT ART GIVEN TO PLEASURES, that DWELLEST CARELESSLY, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 For THOU HAST TRUSTED IN THY WICKEDNESS: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and THY KNOWLEDGE, IT HATH PERVERTED THEE; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall EVIL COME UPON THEE; thou SHALT NOT KNOW FROM WHENCE IT RISETH: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou SHALT NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT OFF: and desolation SHALL COME UPON THEE SUDDENLY, which thou SHALT NOT KNOW.


Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, and that ye RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much SHE HATH GLORIFIED HERSELF, ( TRUSTED IN OWN WICKEDNESS ) and LIVED DELICIOUSLY, ( GIVEN TO PLEASURES/DWELLING CARELESSLY) so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall HER PLAGUES COME IN ONE DAY ( SUDDENLY) death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.




The knowledge perverted her, and knowledge puffs/exalts all people on earth up, because charity gives understanding/ edification which is the lowliness and meekness of Christ and the meek inherit the earth.


The meek, unlike the exalted widow, who blesses herself in her own heart, are blessed by the Lord instead, and unlike the ones who say peace and safety ( all exalted on earth right now) the meek will delight themselves in the true abundance of peace coming to them soon.


Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.



1 Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.





Widows is taught about, how she that LIVES IN PLEASURE, IS DEAD WHILE SHE LIVES.

This is warned about, that we may be blameless.



1 Timothy 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.




Hear this, that art given to pleasures/ lived deliciously, those on earth have lived in pleasures, and the Lord is ready to receive the early rain , the dead in the Lord, from the time of Jesus, and the latter rain, now. The message is, to stablish your heart, for the coming of the Lord draws nigh..




James 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.




Speaking, of what God spoke for us, of the last days, they are the perilous times already, the tribulation, because it is now that men are lovers of their own selves, now they are covetous,, unthankful and unholy,truce breakers ( breaking the Lords new covenant, fierce and despise those who are good, being highminded ( not humbled or the last and the least as taught by Jesus ) because as all told, they are, LOVERS OF PLEASURES, WHO HAVE A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT DENY THE POWER/DENY CHRIST BY EVIL WORKS AFTER THEY PROFESS BELIEF IN GOD/CHRIST.



2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.





The testimony of Christ is simplicity, and all has to fit together perfectly, the day of the Lord comes, without anyone knowing, because of the faith falling away, because of not doing as told, to believe in the message and warnings from the Lord, to watch and be sober, to hold fast to that which is good, to keep away from all evil, to be sanctified wholly, and to pray for the whole spirit and soul and body to be preserved blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ..

2 Corinthians 11:3 BUT I FEAR, LEST BY ANY MEANS, as THE SERPENT BEGUILED Eve THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED FROM THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST.


1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

All saying ( in their heart) Peace and safety, and living carelessly as Jesus said for the end..


Isaiah 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.



It is the judgement of God, on the devil and on all who worship the beast, and false prophets/ teaching, the day of Christ would not come, unless there is this falling away first, to bring to judgement all who exalt, to finally bring in meekness to the earth, and the devil sits in the temple of man to deceive all...

Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

but Noah didn't warn anybody, you said Noah had been warning them there is no account of him doing that. my post wasn't referring to drinking and eating etc.

Noah was ridiculed for many years while building the ark. Perhaps that's all the testimony he needed to give, his actions.
Today Christians are ridiculed for believing in the second coming.

Gen. 6:5, 11-13 Perhaps the actual word isn't in the Bible - but the attitudes certainly were.
indeed they were a crazy bunch but nothing is towards Noah. there was seas so building a boat wouldn't have been unusual now the size of it surely was. we can imagine all kinds of things about what was said about it or how Noah was treated. but we don't really know other than all knew nothing but Noah when the flood came.

The way I see it is that Noah didn't have access to a drydock, so he was building on land. The dimensions of the boat are huge, so there would be no way to tow it to the sea when ready to sail.
Not like he could back up his diesel track vehicle and hook up to a tow bar. IIRC, it took him decades to build. Ridicule must have been part of this whole process.

IMHO all anyone has to do is engage their imagination. Imagine your eccentric neighbor building an edifice in his backyard unlike anything that has been seen in the world. People don't really change. Nosy people was then as now.It is hard for us today to imagine someone 500 years old building anything, let alone an exotic edifice called an ark. It must have been a source of entertainment and speculation for the people all around. None of us were there, but to look at some of these posts, one would think that Noah did not or could not talk.^_^

Ridicule, yes. But Noah must have told them why he was building the ark, and the reaction that God desired was that man repent of his evil thoughts and violence- because it says His Spirit would not always strive with man.

Genesis 6:3 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.

The life span of man in those days was 120 years.

If we fast forward from to Noah's day to ours, Revelation is the Word of God on how He is going to end this whole sorrid state of mankind is in and has been in ever since the fall in the garden of Eden. God gives the details, the timeframes, and the participants.

God, throughout, appeals to mankind in Revelation to repent, believe on Jesus, and seek Him.

Like the days of Noah, it is God's desire that man repent, turn to His way of salvation - which is revealed to be in Christ Jesus.

Hedonist #1: "Noah, my man, what are you building here?"
Noah: "I'm building an animal museum that floats."
Hedonist #1: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! you're crazy!"
Noah: "You think so? God Almighty told me to gather two of every kind of animal because a great flood is coming upon the earth!"
Hedonist #2: (#1 is still laughing), "The Oracle is predicting a drought for the next 7 years, are you sure you didn't dream this?"

Here in order for those in discussion, is what a watchman/preacher is.


Ezekiel, commanded by God, to give warning to Israel, from God.

God's rules are, if the preacher does not give them warning, the wicked dies in his iniquity, and the warner also dies, for not giving them warning from God ( God cares to give all warning, as they are the souls He created)

Next rule, when the warner/ preacher, testifies to the wicked, and the wicked ( the flood was brought upon the world of the wicked) does not turn from his wickedness, he dies in his iniquity, but the warner/ preacher delivers his soul, ( as with Noah getting saved).

Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.




Noah, that preacher of righteousness, brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly ( wicked ) and that has to be by the same rule of the Lord, to give warning from Him.

2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;



So, to those disobedient/ungodly/wicked, the preacher of righteousness, went and preached to them, while God waited for the time for them to be condemned, for not fearing God, as Noah feared.


Because there also has to be a reason for the condemnation, as in John 3:19, men love darkness, because their deeds were evil.



John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.




With Nineveh, the warning was feared, of impending destruction from God, they cried mightily to God, and turned from their evil ways, and God saw them repent of their evil ways and did not do the evil destruction into them. Saying that God does not give warning to the people of the flood, and that there is no such account, ignores a lot of the testimony of God.


Jonah 3:4 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.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

No; Today IS the same as in the days of Noah.
We [mostly] eat, drink and marry, etc, without any thought for our Creator.

Surely people now don't think things will continue on as they are, forever?
We can see there must come dramatic changes, due to over population, over use of resources. but mostly the untenable situation in the Middle East.
God has told us, His Christian peoples, how He intends to correct mankind.
Why be like the antediluvian people and ignore the warnings?
That is exactly right. Amen, Brother!

but Noah didn't warn anybody, you said Noah had been warning them there is no account of him doing that. my post wasn't referring to drinking and eating etc.
I think building a ship where there is no water is a pretty solid warning sign, even if he didn't verbally scream dire warnings out loud (which he might have done, but we have no record).

Here's something to ponder. Assuming man was living in different regions of the earth at the time, some of them on the other side of the planet, and that the flood was global, how did word get out to someone on the other side of the planet that a flood was coming? They didn't have tvs and radios and phones back then.
