人子降臨之日、一如諾亞之日、

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

“ Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

As it was in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.

“ When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat.People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

And God did not spare the ancient world— except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.

He went on board the boat to escape the flood— he and his wife and his sons and their wives.With them were all the various kinds of animals— those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not— along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground.They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons— Shem, Ham, and Japheth— and their wives.With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal— domestic and wild, large and small— along with birds of every kind.Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,rising more than twenty two feet above the highest peaks.All the living things on earth died— birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.God wiped out every living thing on the earth— people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.

Then he said to his disciples,“ The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns, but you won’t see it.

So he went and preached to the spirits in prison—those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.

The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.

Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood.

“ Will you continue on the old paths where evil people have walked?They were snatched away in the prime of life, the foundations of their lives washed away.For they said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things, so I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.

And the Lord said,“ I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing— all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them.”

For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes.

I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
