How do the days of Noah relate to the coming of the Son of Man?
Matthew 24:37 (ESV)
37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
In Jewish literature, the people of Noah’s day exemplified sinners who did not foresee the coming of divine wrath.1 Likewise when the Son of Man comes in glory, he will come at a time that people do not expect, and he will also bring judgment.2 His return will catch most people unaware.3
