SO BE IT

The days of the Son of Man is the return of Jesus; to judge the unrighteous and the righteous. That time was revealed to John in the Revelation - the apocalypse; called the end of days. Jesus even provided some clues, when he said, 

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 Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-27)

Jesus was implying that the world had gone on as normal; that even with the warning of impending doom, the people of the world went on as usual. They had the chance to but did not prepare for it. They even continued consummation of their marriages and exposed their offspring to the calamity that was coming.

Then sounds like nowadays, but sacred literature provides even more detail. The Books of Adam and Eve were written somewhere between the years 200 BC and 100 AD. Whoever wrote them explained, not only the days before the first destruction, but the time before its final destruction. The world will be torn down before it is built back better, and not by mankind, but by Jesus. 

Edited only for brevity, this is how it was in the days of Noah from the 2nd Book of Adam and Eve, chapter twenty:

1 AFTER Cain had gone down to the land of dark soil, and his children had multiplied therein, there was one of them, whose name was Genun, son of Lamech the blind who slew Cain.

2 But as to this Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood; and he made sundry trumpets and horns, and string instruments, cymbals and psalteries, and lyres and harps, and flutes; and he played on them at all times and at every hour.

3 And when he played on them, Satan came into them, so that from among them were heard beautiful and sweet sounds, that ravished the heart.

4 Then he gathered companies upon companies to play on them; and when they played, it pleased well the children of Cain, who inflamed themselves with sin among themselves, and burnt as with fire; while Satan inflamed their hearts, one with another, and increased lust among them.

5 Satan also taught Genun to bring strong drink out of com; and this Genun used to bring together companies upon companies in drink-houses; and brought into their hands all manner of fruits and flowers; and they drank together.

6 Thus did this Genun multiply sin exceedingly; he also acted with pride, and taught the children of Cain to commit all manner of the grossest wickedness, which they knew not; and put them up to manifold doings which they knew not before.

7 Then Satan, when he saw that they yielded to Genun and hearkened to him in every thing he told them, rejoiced greatly, increased Genun's understanding, until he took iron and with it made weapons of war.

8 Then when they were drunk, hatred and murder increased among them; one man used violence against another to teach him evil taking his children and defiling them before him.

9 And when men saw they were overcome, and saw others that were not overpowered, those who were beaten came to Genun, took refuge with him, and he made them his confederates.

10 Then sin increased among them greatly; until a man married his own sister, or daughter, or mother, and others; or the daughter of his father's sister, so that there was no more distinction of relationship, and they no longer knew what is iniquity; but did wickedly, and the earth was defiled with sin, and they angered God the Judge, who had created them.

11 But Genun gathered together companies upon companies, that played on horns and on all the other instruments we have already mentioned, at the foot of the Holy Mountain; and they did so in order that the children of Seth who were on the Holy Mountain should hear it.

12 But when the children of Seth heard the noise, they wondered, and came by companies, and stood on the top of the mountain to look at those below; and they did thus a whole year.

13 When, at the end of that year, Genun saw that they were being won over to him little by little, Satan entered into him, and taught him to make dyeing-stuffs for garments of divers patterns, and made him understand how to dye crimson and purple and what not.

14 And the sons of Cain who wrought all this, and shone in beauty and gorgeous apparel, gathered together at the foot of the mountain in splendour, with horns and gorgeous dresses, and horse races, committing all manner of abominations.

15 Meanwhile the children of Seth, who were on the Holy Mountain, prayed and praised God, in the place of the hosts of angels who had fallen; wherefore God had called them "angels," because He rejoiced over them greatly.

16 But after this, they no longer kept His commandment, nor held by the promise He had made to their fathers; but they relaxed from their fasting and praying, and from the counsel of Jared their father. And they kept on gathering together on the top of the mountain, to look upon the children of Cain, from morning until evening, and upon what they did, upon their beautiful dresses and ornaments.

17 Then the children of Cain looked up from below, and saw the children of Seth, standing in troops on the top of the mountain; and they called to them to come down to them...

24 ..After this a hundred men of the children of Seth gathered together, and said among themselves, "Come, let us go down to the children of Cain, and see what they do, and enjoy ourselves with them."

25 But when Jared heard this of the hundred men, his very soul was moved, and his heart was grieved. He then arose with great fervour, and stood in the midst of them, and adjured them by the blood of Abel the just, "Let not one of you go down from this holy and pure mountain, in which our fathers have ordered its to dwell."

26 But when Jared saw that they did not receive his words, he said unto them, "O my good and innocent and holy children, know that when once you go down from this holy mountain, God will not allow you to return again to it."

27 He again adjured them, saying, "I adjure by the death of our father Adam, and by the blood of Abel, of Seth, of Enos, of Cainan, and of Mahalaleel, to hearken to me, and not to go down from this holy mountain; for the moment you leave it, you will be reft of life and of mercy; and you shall no longer be called 'children of God,' but 'children of the devil.'"

28 But they would not hearken to his words.

29 Enoch at that time was already grown up, and in his zeal for God, he arose and said, "Hear me, O ye sons of Seth, small and great--when ye transgress the commandment of our fathers, and go down from this holy mountain--ye shall not come up hither again for ever."

30 But they rose up against Enoch, and would not hearken to his words, but went down from the Holy Mountain.

31 And when they looked at the daughters of Cain, at their beautiful figures, and at their hands and feet dyed with colour, and tattooed in ornaments on their faces, the fire of sin was kindled in them.

32 Then Satan made them look most beautiful before the sons of Seth, as he also made the sons of Seth appear of the fairest in the eyes of the daughters of Cain, so that the daughters of Cain lusted after the sons of  Seth like ravenous beasts, and the sons of Seth after the daughters of Cain, until they committed abomination with them.

33 But after they had thus fallen into this defilement, they returned by the way they had come, and tried to ascend the Holy Mountain. But they could not, because the stones of that holy mountain were of fire flashing before them, by reason of which they could not go up again.

34 And God was angry with them, and repented of them because they had come down from glory, and had thereby lost or forsaken their own purity or innocence, and were fallen into the defilement of sin.

35 Then God sent His Word to Jared, saying, "These thy children, whom thou didst call 'My children,'--behold they have transgressed My commandment, and have gone down to the abode of perdition, and of sin. Send a messenger to those that are left, that they may not go down, and be lost."

36 Then Jared wept before the Lord, and asked of Him mercy and forgiveness. But he wished that his soul might depart from his body, rather than hear these words from God about the going down of his children from the Holy Mountain.

37 But he followed God's order, and preached unto them not to go down from that holy mountain, and not to hold intercourse with the children of Cain.

38 But they heeded not his message, and would not obey his counsel.

Jared was the last righteous man previous to Noah and the son of Enoch, the latter who was translated to heaven without ever suffering death. Noah, the son of Lamech was effectively the replacement for Jared because he found grace (Gen 6:8). God had endowed him at birth, as sacred literature reveals, to save mankind from Satan and themselves. Fortunately, just as Noah was the Son of Man in those days, Jesus is in the latter days.

In other words, what happened then with Noah will happen again with Jesus. Is it happening right now? Reread the evidence above and you decide. Nobody can do it for you. Just as Noah could save the animals but not people, Jesus will save the obedient but not the apathetic!

Genun, was the son of another Lamech - blind Lamech who killed Cain, the father of rebels., his ancestor, and ours! "Genun" because Cain's sin was genetic down these several generations. In other words, just as Cain had scattered sin into the world, Genun multiplied it by inventing things that took minds off God. 

On the Holy Mountain - Hermon - their minds were continually on God. On the fertile plain below their minds were continually on pleasure and the pursuit of it.

"They" - them all - refused council, even the righteous ones, and that was in the last verse. Jared had warned them, and they failed him as THE spokesman for God who guided him. Jared was the religious advisor for the germline of righteous Seth. They were the last of mankind to be born without sin, and after Genun was through with them, all had sinned but Jared and Enoch, both of whom God took away before the flood.

Just examine the things in the days of Noah:

v.1 Sin had already multiplied since the first sin. Rather than multiply living souls, mankind had multiplied dying souls.

v. 2 Satan entered Genun and then Genun invented instruments that would take the minds of the people away from God. He brought heavy metal music to young and fertile minds to distract them. The music was forever ongoing; "He played on them at all times and at every hour." And when he played; they listened. They listened to whatever music that Satan chose, since it was Satan in the music, and as much as Satan playing the music. (I think of Jimmy Hendrix who even his band members say was possessed.)

v. 3 "When he played on them, Satan came into them." They only heard beautiful and pleasant sounds, as related in that passage, but all the while Satan came into them, and his spirit remained there without even taking a break! They heard music "that ravished the heart." It overwhelmed them, and rather than circumcision of the heart as God does, music devoured their young hearts, in a spiritual sense, of course... and they could not even detect that they had been changed inside!

v. 4 "Satan inflamed their hearts, one with another, and increased lust among them." They lost their inhibitions and did whatever they desired to do. There was no conviction felt because the music had numbed their malleable minds. God was nowhere to be found amongst any of them; and they all had become their own gods, doing as they pleased. Satan had raped those young people and they felt no shame about it, not even knowing that their minds had lost their innocence. I think of Woodstock and that shameful week continuing to this day.

v. 5 Genun was only the "bartender" and "drug pusher" because Satan had directed him to manufacture inebriants. Why would Satan do that? To further reduce the inhibitions that the Divine One had gifted them with. They failed to be sober and vigilant, and as such, Satan did his will to them, all the while each thought it was their own wills!

v. 6 This verse explains why even more; "Genun multiply sin exceed." Genun attained power over them to exalt himself.  Musicians, you know, are the most exalted of them all. He rocked! Genun also acted with pride as he became the authority figure who persuaded them to abandon God. He was the teacher now! He convinced them that God and family were wrong. "He taught the children of Cain to commit all manner of the grossest wickedness, which they knew not; and put them up to manifold doings which they knew not before." He remolded their young and fertile minds in "Satan's School for the Naive."

v. 7  Satan was pleased with his plan and rejoiced. He stepped it up a notch, he coached Genun and "he took iron and with it made weapons of war." Now in chaos and each one focusing on themselves, war ensued. Chaos and revelry, as in the world to this day, creates the conditions for wars.

v. 8 "Then when they were drunk, hatred and murder increased among them." They lost their self-control. As it turned out love was not love but hatred one for another and lust for others eventually led to hatred. We see that all the time with broken marriages. Those who once were loved - lusted after - become the enemies. The violent ones each were "evil taking his children and defiling them before him." With that attitude, instilled by Satan, and provoked by spirits, many became pedophiles. In the days of Noah, pedophilia was natural, and now it has become common in these days like never before!

v. 9 Civil people gave up. They had been beaten. They would do what Genun did. They would obey Satan, and as such, "He made them his confederates." Sin exploded, it multiplied on the face of the Earth until all had sinned, except Noah. Satan had got his wish. Now he was the "Most High God." Who is the God of most everyone today? Undubitly, it is Satan because God has no place in the lives of many, and if so, it is merely to entertain the idea of heaven and themselves.

v. 10 Sin continued to multiply; "Man married his own sister, or daughter, or mother, and others; or the daughter of his father's sister, so that there was no more distinction of relationship, and they no longer knew what is iniquity..." Incest became normal. Love is love, so they say, so who to love does not matter to the world. "Married" there is not Holy Matrimony but sexual coupling. Sex would become not so much for procreating, but a mechanical, instinctual craving, and about anyone would do. Thus, casual sex was introduced into the world, and no longer was man and woman one, but one of many. Chain-coupling was born.
