Similarities between Noah’s Day and Ours Why did Jesus mention that the days before His second coming would be like the days of Noah just prior to the flood? There are several things that those in Noah’s day and our day today have in common. For one thing, Noah warned those who disbelieved that judgment was coming and that they needed to repent. Noah’s Ark was so huge that it had more than enough room to hold anyone who believed, nevertheless no one outside of Noah’s family believed until it was too late (Matt 24:39). This is what is happening today. Many are trying to witness about Christ before it is too late and He returns to judge all who have refused to repent and trust in Christ (Matt 24:29-31). The vast majority of the world remains skeptical about Christ and His soon coming judgment. Another thing is that people were going on as if nothing would ever change. They were marrying, eating, and drinking (Matt 24:37) and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Pet 3:4). Just as there were skeptics when Jesus was on the earth and near the end of Peter’s ministry, so too are there skeptics today who refuse to believe in Jesus Christ. Sadly, many will not believe until He arrives (2 Pet 3:5) and by then it will be too late (2 Pet 3:7).
