In Matthew 24:37, Jesus said, that as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. What did Jesus mean by that? Why shall the coming of the Son of man be as in the days of Noah?
What does the Bible say about the days of Noah?
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left (میتھیو 24:37-41)
Jesus said, that the coming of the Son of man shall be as the days of Noah. Before the flood came over the earth, all the people on the earth were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage.
While the people were busy with their daily activities, Noah and his family prepared themselves for the flood and went into the ark.
No one noticed, that Noah and his family entered the ark. They were all too busy with their own lives. They were too busy with themselves. No, no one noticed anything, until they were overwhelmed and taken by the flood (Read also: Too busy being busy).
No one was saved, except for Noah, his wife, his sons, the wives of his sons, and the animals, who went into the ark.
Noah was a righteous man and lived in communion with God. Despite the fact that the people were corrupt and did things, which were evil in the eyes of the Lord and were against His will, Noah walked in obedience to God after His will.
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Noah listened to the words of God. He listened to the words of God and obeyed the words of God and walked according to His will.
Why did the flood come over the earth in the days of Noah?
Why did the flood come over the earth in the days of Noah? The flood came over the earth, because God saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth. God saw that every imagination of the thoughts of the people’s hearts was only evil (پیدائش 6:5)
The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence, for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. Doesn’t this remind you of Isaiah 24; about the coming Day of the Lord and God’s judgment on the earth? (Read also: 7 characteristics of the days of Noah).
The coming of the Son of man
As mentioned, in previous posts, we live in the last days of the end times. We live in an age where sin and iniquity abound and cover the earth and rise to heaven. People are prideful and rebellious and live according to their own will, doing what they want to do. They rather fulfill the lusts and desires of their flesh, instead of submitting to the Spirit and listening, reading, and studying the Word of God and living according to the Word of God, and fulfilling the plan of God for their lives.
God still speaks, but the people are not willing to listen to God.
The people are not willing to give up their own lives and because of that, they won’t listen to what the Word has to say (Read also: ‘When people don’t listen to the voice of God‘).
The coming of the Son of man shall be like as the days of Noah, when the wickedness of man shall be great upon the earth.
Jesus said, that two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
What distinguishes one from the other? Why shall one be taken and the other not? They that believe in Jesus Christ, are born again of water and Spirit, and love Him, shall be taken.
Do you love Jesus?
What does Jesus say about loving Him? When do you love Jesus?
He that hath My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me: and he that loves Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. He that loves me not keeps not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s which sent Me (John 14:21-24)
Whosoever loves Jesus, will show Him by keeping His commandments and walking in His commandments. If you love Him and walk according to His will, then He will know you and you will be taken on that great Day of the coming of the Son of man.
The world will be busy, doing its daily activities, but if you believe in Jesus Christ and love Him and walk in His commandments, you shall be taken into His glory and have eternal life.
