3. How many heeded the message brought to them by faithful Noah? Genesis 7:1.

4. When God gave warnings of His soon coming in our day, what did He say will be the reaction? 2 Peter 3:3-4.
NOTE: ‘So before the Lawgiver shall come to punish the disobedient, transgressors are warned to repent; but with the majority these warnings will be in vain. “There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning.” 2 Peter 3:3, 4. Jesus asked the significant question, “When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8. “The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” 1 Timothy 4:1. “In the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1.’ From Eternity Past, page 59.
