Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

挪亚的日子怎样，人子降临也要怎样。

挪亚的日子怎样，人子来临也要怎样。

挪亚的日子怎样，人子来临也要怎样。

人子降临时的情形就像挪亚的时代。

挪亚的时代怎样，人子降临的时候也是这样。

挪亚的那些日子怎样，人子的来临也将要怎样。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子降臨也要怎樣。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子來臨也要怎樣。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子來臨也要怎樣。

人子降臨時的情形就像挪亞的時代。

挪亞的時代怎樣，人子降臨的時候也是這樣。

挪亞的日子怎樣，人子之御臨也必怎樣。

挪亞的那些日子怎樣，人子的來臨也將要怎樣。

人子之臨、有如挪亞之日、

有如揶亞之日、人子之臨亦然、

人子之臨、正如挪亞之日、

人子之臨、正如諾厄時事；

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

“ When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.

As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

But as the days of Noe[ were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

“ As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

“ Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.People were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

Noah had faith. So he built an ark to save his family. He built it because of his great respect for God. God had warned him about things that could not yet be seen. Because of his faith Noah showed the world that it was guilty. Because of his faith he was considered right with God.

The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.

There began to be many human beings on the earth. And daughters were born to them.The sons of God saw that the daughters of human beings were beautiful. So they married any of them they chose.Then the Lord said,“ My Spirit will not struggle with human beings forever. They will have only 120 years to live.”The Nephilim were on the earth in those days. That was when the sons of God went to the daughters of human beings. Children were born to them. The Nephilim were famous heroes who lived long ago. Nephilim were also on the earth later on.The Lord saw how bad the sins of everyone on earth had become. They only thought about evil things.The Lord was very sad that he had made human beings on the earth. His heart was filled with pain.So the Lord said,“ I created human beings, but I will wipe them out. I will also destroy the animals, the birds in the sky, and the creatures that move along the ground. I am very sad that I have made human beings.”

God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

Long ago these spirits did not obey. That was when God was patient while Noah was building the ark. And only a few people went into the ark. In fact, there were only eight. Those eight people were saved through water.The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Will you stay on the old path that sinful people have walked on?They were carried off even before they died. Their foundations were washed away by a flood.They said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can you do to us, you Mighty One?’

Noah was 600 years old when the flood came on the earth.He and his sons entered the ark. His wife and his sons’ wives went with them. They entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.Male and female pairs of“ clean” animals and pairs of animals that were not“ clean” came to Noah. So did male and female pairs of birds and of all the creatures that move along the ground.All of them came to Noah and entered the ark. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah.After seven days the flood came on the earth.Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky.Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.On that same day Noah entered the ark together with his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah’s wife and the wives of his three sons also entered it.They had every kind of wild animal with them. They had every kind of livestock, creature that moves along the ground, and bird that flies.Pairs of all living creatures that breathe came to Noah and entered the ark.The animals going in were male and female of every living thing. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth.The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water.The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 20 feet.Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being.Every breathing thing on dry land died.Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.

They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.
