Jesus compared the end of the age to the days of Noah. A closer look at what those days actually involved.
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." It is one of the most quoted — and least examined — statements about the end of the age.
To understand the comparison, we have to understand what the days of Noah actually involved: not merely violence and corruption, but the specific rebellion described in Genesis 6.
When we read those verses alongside the Book of Enoch and the words of Jude and Peter, a coherent and sobering picture emerges.
