在马太福音中 24:37, 耶稣说, 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 (马修 24:37-41)
耶稣说, 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, 喝, 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 (另请阅读: Too busy being busy).
No one was saved, except for Noah, 他的老婆, 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 (创世纪 6:5)
The earth was corrupt before God, 大地充满了暴力, 因为凡有血气的人都败坏了他在地上的道路. Doesn’t this remind you of 以赛亚 24; about the coming Day of the Lord and God’s judgment on the earth? (另请阅读: 7 挪亚时代的特点).
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 (另请阅读: ‘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.
耶稣说, 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?
凡有我诫命的人, 并保留它们, 他就是爱我的人: 爱我的人必蒙我父所爱, 我会爱他, 并将向他显现我自己. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, 主, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 耶稣回答对他说, 如果一个男人爱我, 他会遵守我的话: 我的父亲会爱他, 我们会去找他, and make Our abode with him. He that loves me not keeps not My sayings: 你们所听到的话语不是我的, 而是差我来的父 (约翰 14:21-24)
Whosoever loves Jesus, will show Him by keeping His commandments and walking in His commandments. 如果你爱他 并遵行他的旨意, 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.
