Where Are We on the Prophetic Timetable? When Jesus’s disciples asked for His views on the end times, He pointed to the “days of Noah” as the key to unlock the timing of “the coming of the Son of Man.” But what exactly did He mean by that? Floodgates unravels precisely what happened in the Flood of Noah and explains why this important biblical event is so analogous to our day. By tracking humanity’s moral slide during Noah’s generation, we roll back the curtain on our own times in remarkable ways. We also discover a clear biblical paradigm for determining where we are on the prophetic timetable, based on the actual teachings of Jesus and the apostles. After reading Floodgates , you will know if the countdown to final judgment has already begun. Reflecting careful research and keen biblical insights, Floodgates reveals God’s righteous dealings with humanity and the fate that soon awaits those now in open rebellion against Him. Author David Parsons lays the axe to the root of this moral rebellion, found in the collapsing claims of Darwinian evolution. He also identifies God’s “end game”—His specific strategy—for how He wants to bring this present age to a close. As we draw nearer to that day, Jesus calls every believer to be salt and light in the world, warning people of the coming judgment and showing the way to eternal life in Him. This book is a powerful reminder that everyone has a choice to make concerning their ultimate destiny—and time is growing short.
I used to steer clear of endtime themed Christian books. But considering the times we live in, I think this book - wonderfully deep research, written over a period of 20 years, lots of Bible references, and the author working for the ICEJ, so close to my heart - was the right choice.
We certainly do live in days like those of Noah's time, all the signs are there: idolatry (The "gods" being science/money/power), violence, and sexual immorality. We are still under grace, but judgement is coming.
There is also an answer to one question that always bothered me: Why did God not judge the Germans for what they did to the Jews?
All in all: I for one am glad I picked the Ark. (Sorry, not much of a review, but the topic is too stirring.)
I enjoy reading books which explore the subject of Bible prophecy and Christ’s return. I’ve noticed over the years that most books look at the subject using the same general outline.
While there is nothing wrong with such an approach it is refreshing to see the subject from a fresh perspective. That’s what David Parson’s offers his readers in his new book Floodgates: Recognize the End-Time Signs to Survive the Coming Wrath.
Instead of looking to the book of Revelation or Daniel as the primary template for end time events, Mr. Parson’s instead looks to the words of Yeshua in Matthew 24:37 as the key to unlocking a fresh perspective on the events leading up to the 2nd coming of Christ.
Using Matthew 24:37 and the “days of Noah” as a basis, Mr. Parson explores the past to give us a glimpse of our coming future. I liked this approach and I believe Mr. Parson offers the reader several valuable insights which are worth further consideration and exploration.
I especially appreciate Mr. Parson’s exploration of secular humanism and the bitter fruit it has born in our generation. Far too few people understand the profound influence this religion has had on the modern era and Mr. Parson does a great job of bringing this out.
Today most prophecy teachers focus on the Roman Catholicism, Islam, or some other religious doctrine they think best exemplifies the end time religious system described in the Bible. In doing so they ignore the most wide spread and profoundly influential religion in the history of mankind. That religion is Humanism.
It was Satan’s promise of humanist “enlightenment” that first deceived mankind and sowed the seed of all other religious idolatry invented by mankind. It was a version of this deception that untied mankind and some of the fallen angelic host before the flood. This same humanist pride was what united mankind at Babel and the same pride which caused Nebuchadnezzar’s abasement in the later city of Babylon.
It’s worth noting that Revelation 17:5 talks about an end times religion, a Mystery Babylon, that is the mother of all other religious idolatry. Only one religious system really qualifies as the mother of harlots and it is the religion with which Satan deceived Eve in Eden. That religion is humanism and modern incarnation, secular humanism
I must say it is good to see a Christian author exposing the dangers of this “scientific” religion and the part it plays in the time we have left before Christ’s return. Far too often the idolatrous daughter’s of Babylon are focused on, while their mother hides in the shadow’s behind a veil of science. In summary, this is an important book for our generation to read. I’d encourage anyone to pursue a copy and when finished open your own Bible’s and see if these things be so.
A thought-provoking book. David Parsons compares the Biblical days of Noah with our present-day society. It's scary to realise how similar they are! He approaches the topic by firstly expounding upon the Biblical story in great detail. He provides proof of a global flood, then explains why God sent it. One of the main reasons is that the human race had been contaminated by the union between humans and Nephilim. When he moves on to the modern day, he covers the topics of evolution and eugenics, which have both had a huge influence on people's falling away from God, and regarding human life with lessening respect. The contamination of the human race is occurring again, this time by tampering with the genetic code, and even implanting animal DNA in humans. What I found so scary, though, is that God has warned that the next time He destroys the Earth, it won't be by flood, but by fire. David Parsons also explains how this can happen, and it's really frightening to consider. There is hope, though, as while the world is becoming more decadent, there is also an upsurge in evangelical Christians and this parallels the return of the Jews to their own land. We are definitely in the End Times!
Interesting read. Parsons goes into depth, sometimes too much so, to explain why our present time is paralleled to Noah's time when the flood was poured upon a wicked population. He does bring up many good points and is basically right (in my opinion) about the state of the world and most likely its soon fate. There are times in the book where I felt it lagged by being too explanatory on some issues and bogged down with technical and historical information, which to me, made it drag a bit. Over all though not a bad book for those very interested in eschatology.
