Matthew 24: 38-39: "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." Jesus had just been teaching about His second coming. He compares it to the time of Noah while he was building the ark. He is not referencing the extreme wickedness of the day, but instead the people's preoccupation with the mundane matters of everyday life. They heard Noah preach, saw the ark being built, but cared not until the floods came. It is the same today. While there are only a few preachers that preach the Word, most people don't care. They are more concerned with work, romantic relationships, their children and the ordinary events of life. However, the day is coming when the Lord Jesus Christ is going to return for His church. It will be too late at that point to avoid the Tribulation. There will be no doubt when the second coming occurs, it will be a worldwide event. It should be every person's inquiry to ask yourself, are you ready for His return? If not, you can be ready and actually looking forward to the event. Eternity will begin for us that are His children when He comes again. Be ready.
