A. An Explanation of Genesis 6:1-9.

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:37)
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (Matthew 24:38)
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39)
The men of old rejected Enoch's warning that God's judgment was going to come (Jude 1:14-15). About 550 years later, here comes Noah. Enoch died 69 years before Noah was born. The Flood came when Noah was 600 years old (Genesis 7:11). Noah had preached the Flood Judgment for 120 years prior to the Flood. Yet, we find mankind did not believe and “knew not until the flood came and took them all away...”
The “coming of the Son of man” that Matthew is referring to is what occurs at the end of the Tribulation. The Rapture will take place 7 years sooner. But, mankind has never changed since the time of the Flood. They say,
“Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. ( 2 Peter 3:4)
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:” 2 Peter 3:4-5
Fortunately, the Christians will be “taken away” in the Rapture and the unbelievers have been left behind to endure the seven terrible years of the Tribulation Period.
Here are the four verses we will examine in Genesis 6 :
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, (Genesis 6:1)
 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 6:2)
 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. (Genesis 6:3)
 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." (Genesis 6:4)
