And they were unaware The phrase "they were unaware" highlights the ignorance and lack of preparedness of the people during Noah's time. The Greek word used here is "οὐκ ἔγνωσαν" (ouk egnōsan), which implies a lack of knowledge or understanding. This ignorance was not due to a lack of warning, as Noah was a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5). The historical context suggests that despite Noah's warnings, the people continued in their daily lives, oblivious to the impending judgment. This serves as a cautionary tale for believers to remain vigilant and spiritually aware, emphasizing the importance of heeding divine warnings and living in readiness for Christ's return. until the flood came and swept them all away So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man Parallel Commentaries ...
