In Message 5 of our series, we examine Jesus\u2019 sobering warning: the time just before His return will resemble the days of Noah.<\/p>\n<p>When people reject God\u2019s authority and enthrone themselves, lawlessness spreads, violence multiplies, and the love of many grows cold. From Genesis 6 to Matthew 24, Scripture shows this is not just a social problem \u2014 it\u2019s a heart issue.<\/p>\n<p>In this message we explore:<\/p>\n<p>Why violence filled the earth before the Flood<br \/>\nHow lawlessness is increasing today<br \/>\nThe danger of a heart that grows cold<br \/>\nWhat it means for believers to shine brighter in darkening times<br \/>\nGod has an amazing plan for you. Learn how to live in God\u2019s victory, be ready for what\u2019s coming, and know God\u2019s great next steps for your life in this powerful message from Victory Word Center in Tokyo Japan.<\/p>\n<p>#victoryword #victorywordcenter #TokyoChurch #Koshigaya #JapanChristian #LastDays #AsInTheDaysOfNoah #Matthew24 #EndTimes #ChristianSermon #ViolenceAndLawlessness<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are we really living in the last days?
