Mateo 24:37

37 »Cuando el Hijo del Hombre regrese, será como en los días de Noé.

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 desaparecerán, pero mis palabras no desaparecerán jamás.

36 »Sin embargo, nadie sabe el día ni la hora en que sucederán estas cosas, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo ni el propio Hijo.
Solo el Padre lo sabe.

37 »Cuando el Hijo del Hombre regrese, será como en los días de Noé.

38 En esos días, antes del diluvio, la gente disfrutaba de banquetes, fiestas y casamientos, hasta el momento en que Noé entró en su barco.

39 La gente no se daba cuenta de lo que iba a suceder hasta que llegó el diluvio y arrasó con todos. Así será cuando venga el Hijo del Hombre.
