Mateus 24:37

37 Como foi nos dias de Noé, assim também será na vinda do Filho do homem.

Mateus 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.

Mateus 24:37 In-Context

35 Os céus e a terra passarão, mas as minhas palavras jamais passarão.

36 “Quanto ao dia e à hora ninguém sabe, nem os anjos dos céus, nem o Filho, senão somente o Pai.

37 Como foi nos dias de Noé, assim também será na vinda do Filho do homem.

38 Pois nos dias anteriores ao Dilúvio, o povo vivia comendo e bebendo, casando-se e dando-se em casamento, até o dia em que Noé entrou na arca;

39 e eles nada perceberam, até que veio o Dilúvio e os levou a todos. Assim acontecerá na vinda do Filho do homem.
