(CHE-chen) – “For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man” (Matthew 24:37-39 ESV). It is interesting that the name for Chechens in their own language is “people of Noah” and their language is the “language of Noah.” A 9th century Georgian historian claims that Chechens are descendants of Japheth, son of Noah. Pray for them to be like Noah. Pray for Chechens to believe that there is only one door into the safety of the ark and that door has a name, Jesus. “And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in” (Genesis 7:16 ESV).
