In the study of Eschatology, also known as Bible prophecy, it is well accepted that the Rapture (the removal of those who truly belong to the Lord Jesus Christ prior to the calamities of the Tribulation period) is illustrated by the removal of Noah's family right before the Flood.
It is also typified by Lot's family being removed immediately prior to the fire and brimstone raining down, which decimated the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Both of these examples of the removal of the righteous prior to God's righteous wrath being unleashed, are pictures of the Rapture of the Bride of Christ.
Important to note is that in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as in the days of Noah, sexual perversion was rampant and the people were shameless and proud of their unnatural sexual exploits which God calls "detestable".
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
In fact, Jesus forewarned us that in the days before His return it will be as in the days of Noah:
“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark"
According to Rabbi Aryeh Spero, the "Talmud's (early Jewish teaching)writings reveal that "before the Flood people started to write marriage contracts between men, in other words, homosexual 'marriage,'which is more than homosexual activity – it's giving an official state stamp of approval, a sanctification … of homosexual partnership."
"In fact, he said, 'the writings indicated that it wasn't even so much the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' but that the sin in and of itself is so contrary to why God created the world, so contrary to the order of God's nature, that God said then and there 'I have to start all over … to annihilate the world and start from the beginning. …' "
"Even in ancient Greece they did not write marriage contracts between men. There was homosexuality, and it was wrong, but there was not an official 'blessed' policy. … Marriage is 'sanctification' (not simply a partnership)."
He said to confer the title of sanctification and holiness upon this behavior is 'probably one of the greatest sins of all that one does against God's plan for this world.' "
Therefore the "marrying and giving in marriage" "as in Noah's Day" that Jesus referred to as signaling the end of the age, appears to be manifesting itself.
We are now seeing an increased push for the acceptance of homosexual behavior in our modern day society.
This push to make what God calls an abomination seem normal has succeeded to the point where same sex marriage has now even been legalized in several states and countries.
In fact, as president of the United States, Barak Obama has recognized Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride month, annually since he took office:
It may sound curious as to why any human would declare PRIDE in the practicing of a deviation from normal; a deviation that actually caused the G-d of creation to send the Flood and to annihilate Sodom and Gomorrah to the point that the region is now the lowest place on Earth.
However, when we research, we find that PRIDE is the root of all sin and the express reason that Lucifer, Satan, was cast out of Heaven.
If Satan, the enemy of mankind, can delude people into actually being proud of sinful rebellion against God and His law; then he is more likely to successfully win their souls to spending eternity in hell with him, when he is cast into the lake of fire.
When there is pride in sin, then repentance is rare. The enemy is well aware of this. That is why he continues to delude and foster "pride" in this deviant, sinful behavior.
This age old plan by the enemy is fast gaining ground. The Federal Reserve Bank this past week was "proudly" displaying the rainbow flag beneath the American flag.
"Federal Reserve bank flies the rainbow flag"
The rainbow is a symbol which has been adopted to represent homosexuality. After the flood of Noah, the rainbow was given by God as His promise to mankind to never again flood the earth.
Genesis 9:12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
The fact that the rainbow has been chosen to represent the very purpose for which the earth had to be flooded to begin with, exposes Lucifer's hand.
Satan, in his pride, always tries to mock God. The rainbow symbol is mocking the rainbow Covenant made by God to man after the Flood.
Interestingly the homosexual rainbow has six colors and the true rainbow, given by God, has seven.
Notable is the fact that number six, as in the well known 666 of the antichrist, is associated with Satan and the number seven is God's number of completeness and perfection.
Even the very order of God's created nature proves that homosexuality is wrong. He made all living creature to procreate.
In fact, after the flood, God instructed Moses and his sons to "be fruitful and multiply":
Genesis 9:1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
The mere fact that homosexuals cannot reproduce should evidence that this is abnormal and deviant behavior that should elicit shame and not pride.
Since homosexuals cannot reproduce, they recruit. This is what is one of the driving forces of the "gay pride" movement. They try to force homosexuality as "normal" and into the limelight in order to recruit.
Satan hates humans because we are made in God's image. The more humans that deviate into homosexual behavior the less amount of humans there will be as homosexuals, whose behavior is contrary to what God intended for His creation, cannot reproduce.
Genesis 9:6 "...for in the image of God has God made mankind."
Homosexuality thus leads to less human beings and this is why Satan deludes people into thinking it is normal and something to be "proud" of, due to his hatred of mankind.
Also, to the devil's satisfaction, homosexuality means more human company for him in hell.
Those who practice this sin or any other unrepentant sinful lifestyle will descend into the pit and be in torment for eternity.
Satan is the Father of Lies and this is one of his favorites that he is trying to propagate. His ultimate goal is to make this sin accepted as "normal" so as to tempt more humans into practicing it.
Sadly, there are actually churches that call themselves "Christian" which promote homosexuality as both normal and acceptable.
The apostate leaders of these churches convey that since God is a God of love, He loves homosexuals for who they are. God does love homosexuals, just as He loves all sinners.
However, in the same vein, He cannot condone and wink at their unrepentant sin just as He cannot with any type of sin that continues unabated.
These blasphemers fail to convey to their deluded church members the truth: that God is also a God of righteousness judgment, who cannot allow sin in His Holy presence.
Homosexuality is breaking God's law and thus is a sin. Those who practice it are therefore living a lifestyle of continuous sin.
Just like any other unrepentant sinners, if homosexuals die in their sin, they cannot be allowed into Heaven,into God's Holy presence.
Therefore, to the enemy of men's souls, his escalating the promotion of gay PRIDE equates to LESS humans born on earth and MORE humans being cast into hell!
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
