Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. It will be observed here that what the flood and the flames found the antediluvians and the Sodomites engaged in were just all the ordinary and innocent occupations and enjoyments of life-eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, in the one case; eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, in the other. Though the antediluvian world and the cities of the plain were awfully wicked, it is not their wickedness, but their worldliness, their unbelief and indifference to the future, their unpreparedness, that is here held up as a warning. Let the reader mark how these great events of Old Testament History-denied, or explained away, now-a-days by not a few who profess to reverence our Lord's authority-are here referred to by Him as facts. The wretched theory of accommodation to the popular belief-as if our Lord could lend Himself to this in such cases-is now nearly exploded.
