Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 24:37

And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Then shalt two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.A number of similarities... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:37-39

Matthew 24:37-39. But as the days of Noe, &c.— The days of Noah signify the days in which he preached to the old world that righteousness which they ought to have practised, and denounced the judgments of God to fall on them, if they did not repent of their wickedness. By parity of reason, the days of the Son of Man signify the days in which Christ and his Apostles preached to the Jewish nation, whose behaviour here is said to have been the same with that of the old world, and of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:37-39

The parable of Noah’s days 24:37-39 (cf. Luke 17:26-27)This parable clarifies Matthew 24:36, as the introductory "for" (Gr. gar) indicates. The previous parable stressed the signs leading up to Jesus’ return, but this one stresses the responses to those signs and their consequences. Life will be progressing as usual when the King returns to judge. Similarly life was progressing as usual in Noah’s day just before God broke in on humankind with judgment (cf. 1 Peter 3:20-21). Despite upheavals... read more

Jesus went out] RV ’Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way, and his disciples,’ etc.The buildings] The magnificent buildings, a mass of marble and gold, were not yet finished (see John 2:20).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:37

(37) As the days of Noe were.—Here again we note an interesting coincidence with the Epistles of St. Peter, both of which teem, more than any other portions of the New Testament, with references to the history to which the mind of the writer had been directed by his Master’s teaching, 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; 2 Peter 3:6. This is, perhaps, all the more noticeable from the fact that the report of the discourse in St. Mark does not give the reference, neither indeed does that in St. Luke, but... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:39

(39) So shall also the coming of the Son of man be.—The words justify the interpretation given above of Matthew 24:29-30. If the “signs” of the Advent were to be phenomena visible to the eye of sense, there could not be this reckless apathy of nescience. If they are to be tokens, “signs of the times,” which can be discerned only by the illumined insight of the faithful, the hardened unbelief on the one side, and the expectant watchfulness on the other, are the natural result of the power or the... read more
