As It Was in the Days of Noah Lib/E: Warnings from Bible Prophecy about the Coming Global Storm
The story of Noah is one of the most captivating in all the Bible. Yet most people remember it mainly as a children’s story found in picture books and heard in Sunday school classes.
But this tragedy really took place—and widely overlooked is Jesus’ stunning prophecy that the final days of planet Earth would be just as it was in the days of Noah. His point? That there would be striking parallels between Noah’s day and the end times—with warnings of God’s imminent judgment upon the world.
Is Jesus’ prophecy now being fulfilled? And if yes, how then should we respond?
As It Was in the Days of Noah explores the similarities between the two periods, such as the rapid rise in evil and increasingly flagrant disregard for God. A powerful resource that…
examines the signs that we’re nearing the end times
affirms the urgency of reaching the lost with God’s compassion and truth
equips you to live wisely and “redeem the time” so it counts for eternity

After the latest Hollywood movie to launch onto the big screen, Noah seems to be the talk about town. There are so many critics that argue just how accurate the story was to the biblical story, but one can hardly argue with the fact that in almost every single race and culture that there are around 270 versions of the story of the great flood. Coincidence or Godly intervention? I say the later!
What I do love, is the book that I happened to have found primarily through numerous advertisements on my Facebook page, As It Was In The Days of Noah from author Jeff Kinley. I wrote to him and kindly asked for a complimentary copy to review as the Bible's story of Noah is kept to about 3 chapters in Genesis beginning in chapter 6, but I knew that there had to be more to the study of Noah's life. How did Noah become so righteous if the entire world was declared by God to be destined for destruction based on their sinful lives? What was the importance of rain being used to judge mankind? Who helped build the ark? What was the significance of Methusaleh in Noah's life? More importantly, what does all this mean for the future of the world?
I have to say, when I got the book in the mail, I was surprised at how small the book was. I was hoping for a thick book filled to the brim with research and reference for me to follow along with my Bible. Yet God is amazing in using people like Jeff Kinley to shine the light in the dark places, one doesn't need a whole lot of light, just a bit to make it dark no more and that is just what you get in this book. So much information along with great footnotes that I was diligently following along with my Bible to see for myself how often I have glossed over the story of Noah, the Ark and the Great Flood and missed all the connecting pieces of the puzzle and what it reveals is chilling to the core.
We all know, as believers, that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, will happen when the world becomes like it was in the days of Noah.
Matthew 24:36-38 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah."For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark."
So if you are like me, always watching for signs of the coming of Jesus, you want to go back into our history to see what kinds of things were happening in Noah's day. All I know, is that I don't want to be here, when that happens. Even though our world with all its violence, murder, rape, sexual crimes, and people now looking the other way when wrong things are committed now saying that those things are right, we are literally sitting on the cusp of the Second Coming of the Lord more so now than at any other time in history. So it is too late? Is there any hope? You might want to pick this book up for yourself and see what it has to say along with your Bible. All I know is that despite the issues concerning Hollywood's take on the story of Noah, there have been more hits on Bible applications and websites dealing with Noah than ever before. God can truly use anything to get His message across. God is patient wishing none to perish, but even He has a limit to just how long that will be. And it may be much sooner than you ever thought.
I received As It Was In The Days of Noah by Jeff Kinley compliments of Harvest House Publishers and the author himself for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed are strictly my own. I have utilized this book in conjunction with my own Bible for a complete indepth study on what the Bible says about Noah and the preview of earth's final days. Being a huge lover of Bible prophecy and End Times events, this one hit a home run in my book. You can't argue the facts that Jeff does such an exceptional job at explaining like the meaning behind Methusaleh's name and the significance of his death. I never made the correlation to Noah's family tree to understand how he was raised, and so much much more. I highly encourage you to pick up a copy of this book and begin your own personal journey of discovery and this can also be used in conjunction with a small group Bible Study as well. Hands down I easily give this one a 5 out of 5 stars and will be re-reading this one quite a few more times and keeping it in a place of reference close at hand.

"Persecution always sifts true believers from those with a mere professed faith. In this future period of intense Christian persecution, "many" counterfeit Christians will turn away from the faith. In the early days of the Tribulation, many seemingly repent, trusting in Christ. But when persecution and the threat of death arrive at their doorstep, their facade of faith will fall away, leaving behind a heart bent on self-preservation. Even today, the slightest opposition to faith often causes those who profess to be believers to abandon their allegiance to Christ and His church. This is to be expected, for as Jesus earlier illustrated to His followers, decisions don't make disciples, devotion does. One way we know our faith is real is by seeing our affection transfer from self to Jesus. These future faux believers will demonstrate their true colors, giving up their Christian friends and even family members and allowing them to be arrested and murdered. In a satanically inspired persecution, those instigating this slaughter will utilize persuasive methods, motivating people to turn Christians in. Failure to comply may result in monetary fines, loss of government benefits, or even death." (Jeff Kinley, As It Was in the Days of Noah)
The title of this book is taken from a word Jesus spoke to his disciples in respect to how the end times would pan out. He said,
So, what was it like in the days of Noah before God decided to destroy the inhabitants and all the earth with a flood? For one, God was sorry that He had made human beings because the desires of their heart was only evil: there was violence, there was sexual immorality, there was no regard for the sanctity of life...God regretted and grieved that He had created human beings (See Genesis 6:5-6)
Therefore, this book delves into what was taking place on the earth in Noah's days, the reasons God destroyed the earth and connects it to what's happening in our modern times.
I think the greatest thing I learned in this book was that we need not fear the future. As the author says, "delighting in God's Word leads us to delight in God, and delight in God drives away fear." And the words of Jesus ring in my ears now and He's saying, "occupy till I come", meaning, do Jesus' business until He comes. What was His business? Preach the Gospel, proclaim freedom to those that are bound, restore sight to the blind (both physically and spiritually), and set the oppressed free (See Luke 4:18). Amen. Come Lord Jesus!
The title of this book is taken from a word Jesus spoke to his disciples in respect to how the end times would pan out. He said,
"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 Noe 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, KJV)

As I've come to expect, Jeff Kinley has written yet another fascinating book featuring Biblical prophecy. The time of Noah is chronicled in detail, including not only his command to build an ark, but the depravity of humanity and their likely attitudes toward him. This is then compared to the current state of our fallen world, showing that we are in fact approaching (or already in) the last days. A large section of this book focused on the continually unbiblical trends toward sex and marriage, showing that we are ever approaching the state of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Thought provoking for sure!

The first part of the book reviewed the story of Noah and how it was in those days:
- Much emphasis was given to "every intent of mankind was evil continually."
- I did gain some interesting new insights to this old Biblical story.
The second part of the book was on prophecy and how close we are getting to "as it was in the days of Noah."
Some of my favorite quotes:
Today we lack a healthy respect for the danger, power, and influence of sin--both that which is found in the world and that which resides within our own sin nature. Like a deceived drug addict, we think we can keep it “under control.”
The challenge of being in the world’s culture involves not being consumed by the sin inherent in it. Unquestionably we who are Christians are meant to be in this world, but we do not derive our identity or values from it because we are not of it. Using wisdom, we can stay connected to people and society without allowing ungodly attitudes, beliefs, and conduct to shape or influence us. Christians are intrinsically no better than anyone else, and Jesus condemned those who accessorized their faith with an attitude of arrogance. We’re called to demonstrate humility, love, and compassion, even among those with whom we strongly disagree. This can be a difficult dance, and it often means being the lone, dissenting voice.
God never does anything without divine design and objective, though admittedly His plans are not always immediately visible or understandable. Everything He proposes comes from a mind of infinite intelligence, and our inability to comprehend them only highlights the scope and understanding of our finite minds.
Our brain holds about a communion cup’s amount of knowledge while God’s capacity for wisdom and understanding is more like the universe--BIG! That’s an immeasurable contrast in capacity. And yet we still think we have better ideas about life and how to live than He does.
The reality of life in a sinful world is that real faith is often bloody and dirty, difficult and challenging. It’s the kind of faith that goes beyond theory to doing. It travels from your head and heart to your hands, feet, and mouth. It’s not the kind of faith you talk or write about. It’s the kind you live. It’s not hypothetical, but practical. Though invisible, others can see it. It’s a faith that works. It sacrifices and suffers if necessary. It’s bloodstained faith. The kind marked by bruises and scars. A bit frayed on the ends. Tattered and torn in places. Worn thin, but not worn out. Looking beaten, but still bold. It appears defeated, and yet it remains determined.
If we could get maturity and discipleship from a drive-through window, Christians would line up for miles. Then even that would take too long, and we’d demand it in a phone app. We get out of breath when asked to run the long distances of faith. We’re often content to settle for the appearance of spiritual knowledge, maturity, and strength. We desire all the benefits but none of the struggles. We want the perks without the pain. Progress without perseverance. Success without suffering. We want to look good spiritually and have great faith, but we don't want the saw and sweat, hammer and hurt. Not for long, anyway. We just want a big boat and a stroy to tell about how it was a “God thing.” We just want to build a pre-fab, awesome-looking Ark to impress our friends and post on Facebook, and to do it all without blisters and inconvenience.
Christians talk big about God and faith, and we’re good at it. We make promises to Him we don't keep. We speak the lingo well, fluent in “Christianese,” convincing others that ours is a deep, strong, and heartfelt belief. But often we end up living an illusion, fooling most of the people most of the time, and sometimes even fooling ourselves. We become practical atheists, acknowledging God with our lips while our hearts remain content to please ourselves.
Unfortunately for other faiths, the Triune God (Father, Son, Spirit) claims exclusivity to deity, making every other world religion, spiritual pursuit, and philosophical system either invalid, a creation of man’s imagination, or at worst, demonic in origin. Effectively dismantle the deity of Jesus, and nothing else about Scripture or Christianity makes sense.
We see the outward violence in our culture, and as Christians, we long for a solution while putting our hopes in all the wrong things. We’ve depended on government, legislation, boycotts, and political parties to restore our country to it's “glory days” of low crime, high morality, baseball, apple pie, and good ‘ol Mayberry family values. News flash: Those days are over. The problem is that none of those things have the power to accomplish the one thing our world really needs--changed hearts.
We like feeling good about ourselves, especially if it makes us feel “better” than others. That’s why it’s easier to rant in a blog than it is to begin a meaningful relationship with a non-Christian. Easier to post a conservative political tweet than to support an unwed, pregnant teenager. Easier to rail against the evils of violence than to volunteer your time helping at-risk youth. Easier to lecture than to listen. Easier to share your opinion than to share your faith.
One of the great threats to a church or a Christian is that departing from the faith happens, as it were, in centimeters, not kilometers. It’s ever so subtle, so undetectable that it may take years to notice a measurable change. It comes not with a blatant lie, but rather the slight nuances that chip away at the foundation of biblical truth.
Our greatest need today is not for a good "self-image,” and yet that seems to be driving a lot of the Christian message today. Our best life is not achieved through pumping up our self esteem, but by seeing ourselves as we are--sinful before God, and yet deeply loved.
The mere thought of God’s wrath should evoke a holy reverence within us. It not only reminds us that He is just and punishes the wicked, but also cautions us against painting mental caricatures of Him, accentuating His love over His holiness and vice versa.

This was a great book, very informative and puts things into perspective for what’s to come. It aligns with Biblical truth, Biblical doctrine and lays out the verses that match everything discussed. A must read for Biblical prophecy watchers!

It was okay. Theology seems a little sketchy at parts. Somewhat obsessed with sex and sexuality. Has some nuggets to think on.
September 29, 2015
A very easy, yet thought-provoking read. I loved the parallels of Noah's day to ours and I thought all the speculation about how Noah probably was treated was eye opening. Highly recommend.

I am not a fan of religious books, especially ones with doom and gloom and judgement.

3.5 stars.
I was interested in this book because I find the days of Noah fascinating. This book highlights how the state of humanity was like in the days of Noah, and compares how humanity will be in the last days according to the Bible. The Bible states the end times will be like it was in the days of Noah, so Jeff looks at those days to compare them to now and how humanity will be in the future. He believes we are heading rapidly towards the last days, and clearly shows the evidence of why he believes this, quoting the bible heavily. He also believes in pre-tribulation rapture.
Jeff is very blunt and to the point, not beating around the bush about how it was and how it will be. Often going into great detail. He is not shy at detailing the wickedness of mankind.
He explains some of the horros that people will experience in the tribulation, which will be an awful time to go through.
It was an interesting read, relatively short and easy to get through. You don't need to be a theologian to understand it. If you want some insight into how the world was in Noah's day, and what to expect in the future, this will be a good read for you. If you do not believe in the pre-tribulation rapture, and have strong opinions on it, this book might not be for you unless you like to see the opinion of others. Recommended for those interested in the end times.

I found the first chapter too much, it was almost an entire chapter talking about mans sexual perversions (there is also another chapter further in the book that does the same thing but not quite as bad). I agree it's important to be aware of this and not stick my head in the sand and deny it or not want to know. I do however think a chapter going on about it and describing all the different perversions was too much and made me uncomfortable. I almost stopped reading it after the first chapter. I am so glad I didn't though! It was a great book! Such a great encouragement to keep looking for Jesus's return with great expectation. A powerful reminder to stand strong in the face of opposition and hate that is certainly coming our (christian's) way. Also to not change or water down the gospel, stand firm on biblical truths and do not compromise but do all with a loving, tender heart. I found the book gripping and compelling. The writing was easy to read and engaging. I found this to be a timely and important book to read, I highly recommend it.

What I liked about this book: It explained the reasons that God destroyed the people of Noah's day with a flood, that being that violence and sexual sin (including homosexuality) were rampant. Kinley likened the days of Noah to the world we are living in today, e.g. the acceptance of homosexuality, even among some liberal churches. Kinley issues a call to purity and holiness...a call for us to witness to others.
What I didn't like about this book, causing it to get three stars, instead of five: Jeff Kinley is a proponent of Henry Morris and ICR, subscribing to a new Earth viewpoint. I believe, as Hugh Ross does, that the earth is an "old earth" (17 billion years old) and that science and "religion" are reconciled. I had to gloss over his inaccuracies about rain appearing for the first time during the flood, and take the bad with the good.

Title: Vital topic. Nasal performance.
Review:
Performance likes: voice timbre
Performance dislikes: nasal tone (almost as if observing a cold) and occasional mispronunciations
Account likes: observations regarding likenesses in this era and what is known of Noah’s era; insights vis a vis word origin; bold and clarion calls to be watchful, teachable, discerning, noble, and respectful.
Account dislikes: degree of certitude given necessity of inference and / or conjecture from sometimes scant content; the author’s intent seems to be to persuade as opposed to describe; I prefer a more descriptive style which seeks to honor a search for truth by presenting available various records and inviting or allowing the reader / listener to draw conclusions based on their own interaction with the spirit.

Wow what an informative and thought provoking book! I gave this book 5/5 stars. I liked how the author related the story of Noah and his life to our day to day lives now. This book was easy to read and follow. Each chapter complemented the last. I liked the tone of the book as well, not preachy but really just someone wanting to share what they had learned. I would recommend this book to all Christians, especially those who like Biblical history and Old Testament times.
I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was an easy read, but very thought provoking for me. He made comparisons of the days of Noah and the time we live in. And I can certainly see that the things he mentioned are taking place. We want a feel good gospel, but that's not our mission as Christians. We are to be a light and witness to all those around us so that they may be saved. Jesus has no desire for anyone to be lost. That's why Je continues to give us time to repent of our sinful ways. Your don't get to heaven by just doing good. You get there by accepting Christ as your Savior. That's the only way to spend eternity in heaven with Him. And we Christians must share that with others.

Something Real
Hello Mr. Kinley:
I love your ministries. Thank you for writing (Noah’s Ark), I appreciate how you have incorporated the real reason why our Lord flooded the earth!
The book of Enoch, that many Christians have not read, (“Exactly” this “Is” no child’s read at bedtime), I recommend reading the book of Enoch.
Amazing, how so many people have managed to change the truth of scripture! A warning from God do not change the Word of God! Psalm 19:14
Yes, Jesus went to that cross! I will close with a gift from God.
Ephesians 2:8-8.
Serving Our Lord-

A good examination of the days of Noah as compared to our current culture. While Kinley is clearly pre-Trib and Pre-Mil, there isn’t much in the book that pitches a full on dispensational theology. There is plenty of Scripture throughout the book so it would be good to read the book with an open Bible alongside you. There was one word study from Genesis that I wish was a little more robust in the presentation. The book is one part approachable theological study, one part warning, and one part encouragement. Regardless of what your eschatological view is, all Christians will benefit from Kinley’s words of warning and words of encouragement.

Beware,Jesus Could Return Any Time
How bittersweet! God had fashioned His crowning creation - Man. In His image to share eternity with Him forever, but it didn't take too many generations to look at His earthly world and declare that everything was no longer good. So much time has past and we too are accountable to God. He is not disappointed because He already knows all of our histories, but we truly for ready for judgment. We need to align ourselves with God while we can. This book reminds us to be vigilant because our enemy is indeed clever.

This book was INCREDIBLE. It opened my eyes to parts of scripture I didn’t know existed and the way Jeff writes is like getting advice from a friend - firmly truthful but also soft and gracious in the delivery.
I want to read every. Single. One. of Jeff’s books and the first place I’m going tomorrow is the bookstore to get every title of his they have in stock.
Praise Yahweh there are authors in the world with intense wisdom of the scriptures to enlighten the church with and the grace to do it with Yeshua’s love laced in every word.

Excellent read! This book was easy to read and understand. Each chapter flowed into the next with ease. There was a bit of repetition but not enough to bore me or make me want to stop reading. The author started by giving an in depth narrative of Noah's time. He went on to make comparisons to our present day and how we should be prepared and stay alert, since as Jesus said... "No man knows the hour or the day".

Excellent book - Kinley backs pretty much everything with Scripture. There's no "Well, what God really means here" type of surmising. Straightforward and to the point. People on Earth today are living just like they did in the days of Noah - and nobody seems to realize it. Walking around in darkness they think is light (Luke 11:35) - they won't be ready when God closes the door of the eternal Ark once and for all, Then, it will be too late forever and forever,

A great book on Bible Prophecy. I have never read a better book about comparing today's conditions with another time in history than this book. The author compares today with the days of NOAH. The author does a great job of explaining the conditions that existed during NOAH's time. He also does a great job of describing the conditions we find ourselves in now. I learned a great deal from the author's comparisons as well as his commentary.

I will never view this as a cute child’s tale anymore!
The details and references to this major biblical event are meticulous. Believers will appreciate the details of this hero of our faith. Unbelievers will find it difficult to dispute the facts laid out in this well researched study on judgment and wrath. We are in the last days as Jesus prophesied. Our world is about as evil as the days of Noah.

Excellent
Easy read. Wonderful message. Great job explaining biblical prophecy. Answered many questions I have had. Praying many will read this book and understand the blessed hope. The natural man does not understand the things of god. Be born again and find the hope in Jesus. Be ready for the rapture whenever it comes. Jeff covers it all.

Perspective!
Anticipating Christ's return for his church has been exciting and frustrating. But having a picture of Noah and his family building the boat and living through a 120 years before the flood, preaching, praying for people they new and loved. The door was open, so it is today!! Thank you so much for the encouragement. Your Book is a blessing!

This was a great book. While it talks about serious stuff, I think it’s a perfect read to understand the end times. After reading this book and knowing I need to read the Old Testament, I can plan on understanding the book go Revelation better. Expect Jesus’ return everyday, but continue to live your life for God

I am so glad i did not pass over this book. I am familiar with most of the Noah story and was informed about much more. I have been blessed to to pick it up today, and listening to all of it today. I hope more people, believers or not will give this a chance. Eye opening, great advice and good warning ‼️ Thanks

This book gives great insight into the comparisons of the biblical account of Noah's day to our current day. The parallels are uncanny as we are on a fast track to moral decline in our society. (If we aren't already there yet)

Was just as good the second time as it was the first! I found this book highly descriptive of how things were during Noah's lifetime and hence what to expect in the very near future. It's gonna get very, very ugly. I highly recommend this to anyone.
