This week we are continuing our 2026 Prophecy Update in Genesis 6:5-15 and 7:1-12. 
"As in the days of Noah" is a biblical phrase from Matthew 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26-27, where Jesus compares the time before his return to the pre-flood era. It describes a society marked by extreme corruption, violence, and utter disregard for God, with people living in normalcy—eating, drinking, and marrying—unaware of impending judgment.
Jesus used this comparison to warn that his second coming will be sudden and unexpected, catching a worldly, distracted society off guard. The parallel suggests a future, rapid judgment, similar to the suddenness of the flood, emphasizing the need for spiritual readiness.
Noah's Ark is frequently interpreted as a "type" or shadow of the Rapture, symbolizing believers' protection from divine judgment while the world faces destruction. Parallels drawn from Matthew 24 suggest that, like Noah's sudden removal into safety, the Rapture will occur unexpectedly, leaving the wicked behind.
