[QUOTE="Hungry, post: 4304761, member: 145557"... Jesus was referring to an event in Genesis, not marriage, utter destruction. He was talking about people not realizing they were on death’s doorstep. Read it
28“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all..[/QUOTE]
This verse about the days of Lot was a good scripture to present. There is nothing about them buying and selling, planting and building, in the scripture of the story about Sodom, and Lot, in Genesis, therefore Jesus is making a statement about what they were doing that is not necessarily taken from a verse that I can find. (Gen 19) Unless someone knows a scripture that refers to something about them buying and selling and planting and building. Where did Jesus get this from? His divine authority? Common sense assumption that was what they were doing if they were a community?
Therefore if Jesus makes a statement about what was happening in Sodom before Lot left that is not actually in the text I concede that Jesus could have been referring to what they were doing in the Days of Noah that is not something written in the text of Gen. And therefore Jesus is not necessarily interpreting Gen "sons of god taking wives of all which they chose" as the scripture that shows them marrying, but simply making a statement that men were marrying and eating and drinking as simply a common sense statement about what people were doing.
Of course I understood the main point of Matt 24 being that of not being ready for the revelation of Christ when He comes in judgment, but I assumed he was also referring to something in scripture when he described their activities before the flood. And in Lots case I am looking for a reference of them buying selling and planting and building but I have not seen it yet. If I do find it then I will return to my previous assumption, but until then I suppose that it is simply a statement Jesus is making that is common sense rather than an actual description in the text of Genesis.
