… nobody pays any attention, and the whole world drowns except Noah and his family. In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark. They didn't understand until the flood came and took them all away. So will the coming of the Son of Man be." They aren't going to listen. There will be a massive population of the world that does not listen to those that are preaching the gospel. In fact, there will be false teachers, according to 1 Thessalonians 5, who will be running around saying, peace and safety, peace and safety, peace and safety. The message will be, well, we're right on the brink of our utopia so long desired, but destruction will come on them suddenly, suddenly. And in that same 24th chapter of Matthew, verse 29, immediately after the tribulation of those days, here's the same phenomenon. The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. …

HOPE] It is a fact which I will prove in a moment or two, that the most terrible calamities that have ever come upon man, or on the world, have happened in the house of mirth.

Is it not written, "They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark"? What were the Israelites doing when the plague came and smote them, so that their carcasses fell in the wilderness? Is it not written, "While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague"? Where were Job's sons and daughters when the great wind came from the wilderness and smote the four corners of the house? They "were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house." Where was Samson when he lost his strength? He was in the house of sinful pleasure, lying asleep with his head in Delilah's lap. What had Nabal been doing when "his heart died within him and he became as a stone"?

The regular round of life. Some teachers erroneously teach that the church is going to go through the Great Tribulation. 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. …
