Are We Now In the Time of the Prophecy of Luke 17: 26-29?
Luke 17: 26-29 says "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29.But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all."
Luke 17: 26-29 says that people at this point in time will be like those in the time of Noah, they will not know what is going on and what is ahead. We are in a time in which people are divided one against another by their opposing ideology. Many who do not know what Marxism is are promoting forms of Marxism.
Fascism, like Marxism, moves toward the creation of a totalitarian world government with a collectivist culture and society. But Marxism begins from the dialectic.
"In the eyes of the dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for
all time, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx)
The dialectic in Greek philosophy before the time of Christ was a procedure for making arguments and counter arguments by use of a thesis and its opposition or anti-thesis. The dialectic is in appearance a formal way of making arguments. But Paul says in I Timothy 6: 20-21 that the dialectic produces "falsely called knowledge." The tactics of argument do not necessarily, in the dialectic, deal with what is true, but often what appears to be an argument or a tactic of discrediting the opponent.
Dean Gotcher says: "God cannot speak into the pre-flood, Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah, dialectic mind, even though it might quote scripture." From: https://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/brai...ic-gotcher.htm
"The dialectic is man thinking through his feelings. This is the reason God flooded the world and will judge the world again. "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man." (Luke 17:26) " So says Gotcher.
Then he says "The dialectic paradigm rejects the word of God as the final authority.........You do not dialogue truth, you teach truth, you dialogue compromise. From: https://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/brai...ic-gotcher.htm.".......The prophecy of Luke 17: 26. Gotcher is saying, can be seen to began to be fulfilled now because of the widespread use of the dialectic.
Gotcher is saying that the mindset behind the use of the dialectic is somehow like that of the mindset of pre-Flood times, as well as the mindset of people at the times of the Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah events.
Various forms of the dialectic are in use now in the media, in education, in government in the corporations and in the churches. We not only live in an age of deception, and in a time when common morality is declining, but we also live in the era of the dialectic, both as a way of making arguments and also as a way of thinking.
The Tower of Babel Event is in Genesis 11: 1, 4-9. "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.............And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
Genesis 11: 1, 4-9 has to be interpreted by other scriptures, and the interpretation of the Flood event in Genesis 6 to 7 is part of the understanding of Genesis 11: 1, 4-9.
Those descendants of Noah, his sons and their wives after the Flood who are the subject of Genesis 11: 1,4-9, apparently not only speak the same language, but they also have the same religion, follow the same doctrines of what can be called an early form of the Babylonian religion. In a sense the descendants of Ham in the Tower of Babel Event had returned to the mindset - the dark and flawed mindset of those right before the Flood. In other words, the descendants of Ham in the Tower of Babel Event had reverted back, to some extent, to the mental and spiritual condition of the descendants of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Men of Genesis 6, an inter-breeding which brought on the judgment of God as the Flood of Noah/. Genesis 6: 9 says "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."
Generations is from: Strong's Hebrew number 8435, to-led-aw': or toldah {to-led-aw'}; from 03205; (plural only) descent, i.e. family; (figuratively) history:--birth, generations." This sounds like it could be talking about Noah's genetics. But whether the Sons of God in Genesis 6 were fallen angels who bred with human women to produce a race of hybrids, or a people faithful to God had bred with a people not faithful to God, to produce offspring who God rejected, the Tower of Babel Event marked some kind of return to the mindset, morally and psychologically, of the pre-Flood times.
