[37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The subject is the "coming", which is the "leading up to" of the return of Christ.
[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Do you know with whom they were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage in the days of Noah? Remember, this is important to our understanding of what it shall be like in the last days so let's go to Genesis 6 and find out.Genesis 6:2-4
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The sons of God are the fallen angels, Nephilim in Hebrew, which are identified in Jude 6 as "the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation". They are those angels (sons of God) we are reading about in Gen. 6 who came to this earth to take to wife the daughters of "eth ha adam", i.e. the daughters of Adam. They are those same vultures whom Christ shall destroy on the Lord's Day, the day of His coming (Rev. 11:13), for as it is written they are the ones "he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."
You "see", it was after Satan's attempt to destroy the woman in the fig grove and prevent the seed of Adam from bringing forth Messiah, that these fallen angels came to earth and took to wife Adam's daughters in order to do the same thing, i.e. corrupt the seedline through which Messiah would come. In fact, you will find the scriptures replete with Satan's attempt to destroy Christ, all the way up to His death on the cross where he finally bruised His heel as per Gen. 3:15.
[3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
The union of the fallen angels with the daughters of Adam produced hybrid offspring who were giants among men. These "mighty men", men of renown, are called gibor, and there is ample evidence not only in history (look up Rephaim) that there were once giants who roamed the earth, but there is still physical evidence extant today such as the shores of Bashan. Only Noah, his wife and his three sons and their wives (8 total) were left among the descendants of Adam who did NOT corrupt themselves with these fallen angels, for it is written in Gen. 6:9 that Noah "was a just man and perfect in his generations", which simply means he had a pure pedigree. God brought about the flood of Noah to rid the earth of the corruption that was taking place. By the way, there was another eruption of these fallen angels following the flood and their offspring are those whom God told Israel to destroy right down to every last man woman and child. Goliath, whom David slew, was last of these giants that we read about. He was 13 feet tall, one big dude!
And so it is written in Rev. 12:7-9 that Satan and his angels will be cast out of heaven to this earth when Michael gets the go ahead to stand up and boot them out. Though they shall appear as angels of light, i.e. angels of God, they shall come and spiritually seduce women (virgins) and take them to wife! (Virgins are symbolic of Christians, both men and women.) Remember what Christ said regarding this time... "And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (Mat. 24:19)?" He was referring to the seduction by these vultures. Paul also warns us of these angels in 1 Cor. 11:8-10.
So, do you want to know what will be taking place just before Christ returns? Then understand how it was in the days of Noah and "see" the picture of the big wedding party that was taking place with the fallen angels, the "eating and drinking and marrying". You "see", the spiritual analogy is that they were not eating the bread of life, nor drinking of the pure water of God's Word, nor remaining virgins! They were eating idolatrous meat and drinking of the wine of fornication and being "taken" (seduced) in the field!
Matthew 24:39
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
