As it was in the days of Noah This phrase draws a direct parallel between the time of Noah and the future coming of the Son of Man. In Genesis 6:5-8, the days of Noah are characterized by widespread wickedness and corruption. The earth was filled with violence, and every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. This context suggests a period of moral decay and spiritual apathy, which serves as a warning for future generations. The days of Noah also involved divine judgment through the flood, which was both sudden and comprehensive. This historical event is used as a typology for the final judgment, emphasizing the need for vigilance and righteousness. so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man Persons / Places / Events 1. NoahA righteous man chosen by God to survive the flood due to his faithfulness and obedience. His life and actions are a foreshadowing of the end times. 2.

The Son of Man A title Jesus uses for Himself, emphasizing His role in the divine plan and His return at the end of the age. 4.

The Coming of the Son of Man Refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ, a future event when He will return to judge the living and the dead. Teaching Points Vigilance and PreparednessJust as Noah was prepared for the flood, believers must be spiritually vigilant and ready for Christ's return. Moral Decay and Divine Judgment The moral state of the world in Noah's time serves as a warning of the consequences of widespread sin and the certainty of divine judgment. Faith and Obedience Noah's faith led to his salvation. Similarly, believers are called to live by faith and obedience to God's Word. Unexpected Timing The return of Christ will be sudden and unexpected, emphasizing the need for constant readiness. Contrast with the World Believers are called to live differently from the world, just as Noah did, standing firm in righteousness amidst corruption.(37) As the days of Noe were.--Here again we note an interesting coincidence with the Epistles of St. Peter, both of which teem, more than any other portions of the New Testament, with references to the history to which the mind of the writer had been directed by his Master's teaching, 1Peter 3:20; 2Peter 2:5; 2Peter 3:6. This is, perhaps, all the more noticeable from the fact that the report of the discourse in St. Mark does not give the reference, neither indeed does that in St. Luke, but substitutes for it a general warning-call to watchfulness and prayer. Possibly (though all such conjectures are more or less arbitrary) the two Evangelists who were writing for the Gentile Christians were led to omit the allusion to a history which was not so familiar to those whom they had in view as it was to the Hebrew readers of St. Matthew's Gospel.Verse 37. - As the days of Noe were. In citing this example, the Lord has special reference to the fact that the warning then given was not heeded (Genesis 6:3). If, as seems probable, the antediluvians had more than a century's warning of the coming flood, it can hardly be only the suddenness of the calamity to which Christ would point (1 Peter 3:20). He has used the illustration elsewhere (Luke 17:26, 27), where also the destruction of Sodom is adduced as a type of the last day. So shall also The parousia of Christ shall fall on a world incredulous and heedless. Parallel Commentaries ... Greek As [it was]ὥσπερ (hōsper) Adverb Strong's 5618: Just as, as, even as.
