Just like how people were living their lives back in Noah's time, that's exactly how it'll be when the Son of Man shows up.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

History has a way of repeating itself, people will be caught completely off guard again.

📚 Historical Context

In the biblical narrative, the days of Noah refer to a time of great wickedness on earth, as described in Genesis chapters 6-9, where people were living in moral corruption and ignoring God's warnings. God instructed Noah to build an ark because He was going to send a flood to destroy the earth, saving only Noah and his family. Jesus uses this historical event in Luke 17 to illustrate that just as people were caught off guard by the flood, so will it be at the time of His second coming.
