"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
The LORD is more powerful than all men and women together. The floods during the time of Noah is a reminder of how powerful the LORD is over man. He is more powerful than all men and women together on this Earth. No one could do anything to stop what was coming. In fact, no one knew at that time, except Noah, that the LORD was more powerful than all men and women together. If they had, they would have heeded the many warnings before the flood. The rest did not believe Noah when he preached faithfully for 120 years, saying that the LORD is more powerful than all men and women together. Things have not changed much now,either. Our dull minds won't allow us to learn from the past. We get this dull minds by obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in us. It makes us spiritually blind. We stubbornly insist on our own destructive ways and practices. We think we know better than the LORD. There is a price to pay for such arrogance. "People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage". Things went on their way as usual. They refused to listen to the LORD. Physical pleasure was more important than the things of the LORD. Physical pleasure is unhealthy when it's stirred from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. That's what the Devil did. He enticed the people to the maximum yielding of themselves to the urges, desires and passions of the sinful nature embedded within them. They could not see beyond their physical desires. They were blind to other things."Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man". Who is the Son of Man? The Son of Man is the Lord Jesus Christ. When will it be "the days" of the Son of Man? His return to Earth will be "the days" of the Son of Man. People will go about doing the same things at His coming, even after warnings have been sent out. They will not acknowledge, believe or obey Him. They would rather obey the sinful nature of the Devil in them than obey Christ and everything He had commanded.
Matthew 24;30-33
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.
