Matthew 24:40 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 24:40

38 ^aFor as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

40 ^aThen two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42 ^aWatch therefore, for you do not know what¹ hour your Lord is coming.

43 ^aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known what¹ hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

44 ^aTherefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
