Mat 24:39 | MHM | STEP | v. 39 : The people in Noah’s day “knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.” Even though Noah warned them, they didn’t believe or pay attention. Their lack of faith and focus on earthly things left them unprepared. In the same way, many will be surprised by Jesus’ return, because they are not watching or ready. The flood came suddenly and swept them away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be—a day of judgment that cannot be avoided (Matthew 24:39 ).
