As The Days of Noah Were: The Sons of God and The Coming Apocalypse

”As the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the son of man be.” – Matthew 24:37”

The disciples of Christ came to him in private to ask for signs of the end of the age, and he responded with the above sentence… but what happened during the days of Noah, that made Christ point to it as a reference?

”And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.” – Genesis 6:1-2

These two verses have been the source of speculation and debate, for over 2,000 years. The reason for this has to do with the use of the phrase “bene ha elohim” (sons of God), which in Judaism is a rank of angels.
