Mateo 24:37

37 Mas como en los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del hombre

Mateo 24:37 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:37

But as the days of Noe were
So Noah is usually called Noe by the Septuagint: the sense is, as were the practices of the men of that generation, in which Noah lived, so will be the practices of the men of that age, in which the son of man comes; or as the flood, which happened in the days of Noah, was sudden and unexpected; it came upon men thoughtless about it, though they had warning of it; and was universal, swept them all away, excepting a few that were saved in the ark: so shall also the coming of the son of man be;
to take vengeance on the Jews, on a sudden, at an unawares, when they would be unthoughtful about it; though they were forewarned of it by Christ and his apostles, and their destruction be as universal; all would be involved in it, excepting a few, that were directed a little before, to go out of the city of Jerusalem to Pella; where they were saved, as Noah and his family were in the ark.

Mateo 24:37 In-Context

35 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán

36 Pero del día y hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles de los cielos, sino mi Padre solo

37 Mas como en los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del hombre

38 Porque como eran en los días antes del diluvio, estaban comiendo y bebiendo, tomando mujeres los maridos y dándolas los padres, hasta el día que Noé entró en el arca

39 y no conocieron hasta que vino el diluvio y tomó a todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre
