Have you ever wondered what life was like in the days of Noah before the flood? Take a look around. We’ve arrived. It’s deja vu all over again. We’re decorating in late Antediluvian. Consider this:
Rabbi Huna said in the name of Rabbi Joseph, “The generation of the Flood was not wiped out until they wrote marriage documents for the union of a man to a male or to an animal.”
Thanks to five unelected judges, all fifty states must now write anti-natural marriage documents. If you don’t think we’ll get “marriages” between men and animals, just wait a few years.
That the rainbow is the symbol of the perversion movement is no accident. God made a sign of the rainbow that He would never again destroy the world by flood after being provoked by the widespread wickedness of men and this perversion in particular. The rainbow is now being employed by adherents of this sin to defy God, to dare Him to keep His promise not to destroy the world anew by flood. (I wonder how many of these folks are concerned about climate change, but I digress.)
The leap into the antediluvian is enough to make me wonder how much time will pass until the antichrist makes his appearance:
Matthew 24:37-38
And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:26-27
And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
I’m not going to speculate on the timing of these things, but I do note in light of the above rabbinical tradition, that we can say our days are like unto those of Noah. It is possible also that the Gospel has been preached throughout the entire world and that the apostasy in which we find ourselves embroiled is, in fact, the great apostasy which will precede the coming of the antichrist. Who knows how long the status quo will be maintained in the mean time. It is also possible that this dark age is not the final one.
Whatever the case may be, the recent SCOTUS decision is a sign of the times. For those on the wrong side of the decision, it is time to repent. For the faithful, it is time to double down on our spiritual life: prayer, penance, the Sacraments, and works of mercy.
When my wife and I started this blog, we knew Catholic living wasn’t getting any easier. Thanks to SCOTUS, the spiral of descent has gone into overdrive. Its back to the future in a brave new antediluvian world.
Time and time again, anti-natural marriage proponents argue that legalizing same sex marriage will have no effect on the rest of us. However, see this article.
