History has a way of repeating itself, Jesus' return will catch people just as off-guard as the flood did.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, Noah lived in a time when the world was filled with widespread wickedness, and God decided to send a great flood to cleanse the earth and start anew. People were going about their daily routines, eating, drinking, and marrying, without heeding God's warnings through Noah, until the flood came suddenly and unexpectedly. Jesus references this event in Matthew 24 to warn that the second coming of the Son of Man will be just as unforeseen.
