Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
God may be long suffering (2Pet.3:9) but even God has a limit when it comes to trying to get man to obey Him. In the days of Noah, when man had turned from God's ways to his own ways, God gave him space to repent. "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." (Genesis 6:3) God said I am going to give you one hundred and twenty years to repent and then that will be it. No more chance. For one hundred and twenty years Moses worked on the ark and preached to the people of their need for repentance from their wicked ways, but they would not heed. God did not force them to change but he did warn them. It is the same way today. He will send warning after warning and then He will stop striving and turn you over to your own ways and devices. Since man never changes in respect to his evil nature, the results will be the same as they were in the days of Noah and the final outcome will also be the same. Notice the scriptures relating to this in Noah's day: Genesis 6:5-7 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.
The flood was the result in Noah's day. In the days of Lot in Sodom and the other cities of the plain, God's patience ran out and he rained fire and brimstone down on them and wiped them from the face of the earth. As man, in this day, turns farther and farther from God the results are going to be the same as they were in Noah's day and Lot's day. God's patience is going to run out and the wrath of God will be poured to the fullest on this earth and it's inhabitants. This time period we know and understand to be the Tribulation Period.
When man is left to his own devices without the hindrance of God's Spirit (2Chron. 32:31), man's true nature will manifest itself (Gen. 6:5, Gen. 8:21). There will be no evil that he will not be capable of, there will be no perversion that he will not stoop to and there will be no sensual pleasure that he will deny himself . He will become worse than the animals of this world that have no moral nature at all. Even the animals have more sense than to step outside of the natural bounds that God has set for them. When was the last time it was witnessed that animals rejected the opposite sex for one of their own sex?
From all the evidence at hand today I would say that God is about to say "time's up" one more time.
