<< vs. 36 "No one knows about that day or our, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so
it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the
flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up
to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would
happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be
at the coming of the Son of Man."

Is there any possibility that Jesus was simply referring to a passage
that everyone with familiar with to illustrate his point: i.e., there
is nothing new under the sun, and people have not listened before and
will not listen now? It also wouldn't deny the possibility of a flood
happening much earlier as Glenn Morton or Dick Fischer
have tried to show. In fact, if it happenned as long ago as Glenn
proposes, it even emphasizes all the more how little we have
listened to God throughout the vast ages of time. That is about
as true a fact as you'll ever come across.
by Grace alone do we proceed.
