Matthew 24:37 Meaning

Our Lord draws this doctrine into use to stir us up to watchfulness, and to this end he sets before us seven motives [Motive 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7].

The first motive: there is no small hazard in case men be found secure and not watching when Christ comes, therefore watchfulness is necessary.

Matthew 24:37 Meaning – As the days of Noah were

It is safer to make ready for the day of judgment and to watch, lest we be surprised, than to be curious to know the particular time of it, for As the days of Noah were, &c.

As the old world did not believe judgment coming, although forewarned by Noah that it was coming, so fares it with the world and will be so with the multitude of the world till the day of judgment, for As the days of Noah were.
