“ Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。

挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。

挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。

“人子降临时的情形将像挪亚的时代，

挪亚的时代怎样，人子的时代也是怎样。

“在挪亚的那些日子里发生的怎样，在人子的那些日子里也将要怎样：

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子的日子也要怎樣。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子的日子也要怎樣。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子的日子也要怎樣。

「人子降臨時的情形將像挪亞的時代，

挪亞的時代怎樣，人子的時代也是怎樣。

在挪亞的日子怎樣，在人子的日子也必怎樣；

「在挪亞的那些日子裡發生的怎樣，在人子的那些日子裡也將要怎樣：

人子之時、如挪亞之時、

如挪亞時、其人飲食、嫁娶、

人子臨時、正如挪亞時、

人子降臨之日、一如諾亞之日、

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

“ When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

“ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man:

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

As it was in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

Noah had faith. So he built an ark to save his family. He built it because of his great respect for God. God had warned him about things that could not yet be seen. Because of his faith Noah showed the world that it was guilty. Because of his faith he was considered right with God.

Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark.They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

He and his sons entered the ark. His wife and his sons’ wives went with them. They entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.Male and female pairs of“ clean” animals and pairs of animals that were not“ clean” came to Noah. So did male and female pairs of birds and of all the creatures that move along the ground.All of them came to Noah and entered the ark. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah.After seven days the flood came on the earth.Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky.Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.On that same day Noah entered the ark together with his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah’s wife and the wives of his three sons also entered it.They had every kind of wild animal with them. They had every kind of livestock, creature that moves along the ground, and bird that flies.Pairs of all living creatures that breathe came to Noah and entered the ark.The animals going in were male and female of every living thing. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth.The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water.The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 20 feet.Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being.Every breathing thing on dry land died.Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples.“ The time is coming,” he said,“ when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you won’t see it.

After that, Christ went and made an announcement to the spirits in prison.Long ago these spirits did not obey. That was when God was patient while Noah was building the ark. And only a few people went into the ark. In fact, there were only eight. Those eight people were saved through water.

The Lord saw how bad the sins of everyone on earth had become. They only thought about evil things.

The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.

Will you stay on the old path that sinful people have walked on?They were carried off even before they died. Their foundations were washed away by a flood.They said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can you do to us, you Mighty One?’But he was the one who filled their houses with good things. So I don’t pay any attention to the plans of evil people.

So the Lord said,“ I created human beings, but I will wipe them out. I will also destroy the animals, the birds in the sky, and the creatures that move along the ground. I am very sad that I have made human beings.”

When the Son of Man comes, he will be like the lightning. It flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.

I tell you, God will see that things are made right for them. He will make sure it happens quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find people on earth who have faith?”
