Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 24:37 In-Context

35 Le ciel et la terre passeront, mais mes paroles ne passeront point.

36 Pour ce qui est du jour et de l'heure, personne ne le sait, non pas même les anges du ciel, mais mon Père seul.

37 Mais comme il en était aux jours de Noé, il en sera de même à l'avènement du Fils de l'homme;

38 Car de même qu'aux jours d'avant le déluge les hommes mangeaient et buvaient, se mariaient et donnaient en mariage, jusqu'au jour où Noé entra dans l'arche;

39 Et qu'ils ne connurent rien jusqu'à ce que le déluge vint et les emporta tous; il en sera de même à l'avènement du Fils de l'homme.
