Marrying. See on v. 37. The Scriptures are explicit concerning the prevailing iniquity of the days of Noah (see Gen. 6:5, 11-13). The same conditions are foretold of the last days (2 Tim 3:1-5). However, here in Matt. 24 our Lord stresses the additional fact that the Flood overtook the antediluvians while they were occupied in their usual round of activities, and came to them as a surprise (see vs. 36-43). The same will be true of the second advent (see GC 338, 339, 491).
