How much repentance do we need in order for our sins to be forgiven?
A lot!
Why?
Think about this: when Adam and Eve were created they were pure and they had to obey only one commandment.
Think of how many we have now and how many do we brake…daily….
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed
and this is why they could stay in to the presence of God. They also had only one rule to obey by:
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Now by ingesting this substance they became unpure, their substance corrupted because God is the ultimate expression of good and it wasn’t meant for our kind to know the bad side of things:
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The serpent lied because it did kill them, they became mortal, part of their punishment was to know death, so they were thrown out of the garden of Eden:
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
The punishment of Adam and Eve was not so bad as for Lucifer and his fallen angels but bad enough, because they were destined to have shorter life span and to endure the harsh conditions of surviving in a world without God’s omnipresence:
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Now He did gave us an exit out of this too, because He loves us and He doesn’t wish death to come upon us:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The verse above is a prophecy about the coming of Jesus from the line of Adam. Satan knew this and he tried to prevent it.
How?
Well the fallen angels wanted to corrupt the seed of man in order to prevent Jesus from being born.
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Here we can see that things became so bad that God was so disappointed by man that He wanted to remove all of us from this earth, including all the animals as well.
But He didn’t do it.
Why?
Because this meant breaking his word. So he gave humankind another chance through Noah and his ark.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
After the great cleansing of the flood God made another promise:
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Now why is Jesus warning us of a second cleansing of the Earth and this time by fire?
Well because of this:
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
What does it mean?
All will corrupted again and wickedness will be so widespread that God will not tolerate it.
Is this happening right now? Are wee in the final hours?
You decide. But think about these words:
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

and let’s not forget about these two gems:
On October 31st, 2016, Pope Francis held an ecumenical gathering between protestants and Catholics.
This is VERY symbolic as Pope Francis (the false prophet) has been mending world religions together, and is now trying to mend all denominations of Christianity together under Catholicism in preparation for the One World Religion.
The symbolism from this event is undeniable…
This is their new statement made during Mass and other ceremonies:
“His flame dawning his own son
May, I say to you O’ lucifer who knows no setting
Christ is your son who came back from the dead
and shed his light to the human race
and is alive and reigns for ever and ever”
Is this going to happen?
Yes.
Why?
Because God does not lie and God does not break his word.
What can we do to prevent this from ever happening?
Live all like Jesus, without sin. But we all know how that turns out, because if we somehow manage to do it in our lifetimes or our future generations then we wouldn’t have the book of Revelation .
What can we do?
We can only postpone it be our brief repentance. And it has to take a lot of us to do it in order to have a big impact.
You … the reader … wake up!
Right now!
Change your life!
