Show Notes

Today’s episode is Part 4 of “Making Waves,” a special musical theater edition of 1010 Thrive.

 

As Noah stood before the people for the last time, he made a final plea for them to repent and enter the ark before it was too late. Yet, despite his 120 years of preaching and the clear signs of impending judgment, the people mocked him, dismissing his warnings. As Noah and his family obeyed God's command and entered the ark, the door was sealed, and for seven days, nothing happened—causing the onlookers to further ridicule them. But then, the sky darkened unnaturally, colors shifted, and the first drops of rain began to fall. What had seemed impossible to the unbelieving world was now becoming their terrifying reality.

 

The storm rapidly intensified, and panic spread among the people. As the rain poured and the waters began to rise, those outside the ark realized Noah had spoken the truth all along. Desperation filled their cries as they begged for entrance, pounding on the ark’s door, but it was too late—the time for salvation had passed. Inside, Noah’s family prayed for protection, their voices harmonizing with the raging storm. The floodwaters surged, engulfing everything, and the once-mocking crowd was now drowning in terror and regret. The chorus of voices outside faded into silence as judgment was fully unleashed.

 

The emotional weight of this moment is captured in the song "Before It's Too Late," which urges people to turn to God while there is still time. The song serves as a solemn reminder that every choice has eternal consequences, and one day, all will stand before God to give an account. The story of the flood is not just about judgment, but also about mercy—God had provided a way of escape, yet only those who believed and obeyed were saved. As the waters of the deep burst forth and the heavens poured rain, the truth was undeniable: God's word is always fulfilled, and His call to salvation must never be ignored.
