People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

If that were true, then we would have some ideas to when Jesus Christ is coming. We wouldn't be eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage. No, this is speaking of the normal round of life, a day like today that Jesus may come. And so Jesus said in Matthew chapter 24 verse 42, Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. And Jesus said in Matthew 24, verse 44, Therefore be ye also ready. For in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. …
