Jesus had a message for us concerning the times of Noah and the times of Lot and it’s good not to just gloss over that message.

 

 

Luke 17:26-29

²⁶ “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. ²⁷ People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸ “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. ²⁹ But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

 

 

Yup.  Things were just chugging along as they always had done; then BOOM!

No arguments with Christ...here... but Genesis explains a bit more in detail about what was going on in the days of Noah, and what was going on in the days of Lot. I think Sodom and Gomorrah were limited contained microcosms of what the world was generally under Noah. (I’ve often wondered about the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum by Vesuvius as being of the same type as Sodom’s destruction in terms of God’s planned judgment!) Yes they were all eating and drinking and marrying and just living life large and in utter spiritual darkness....when the end suddenly came upon them!
