So what was usual regarding marrying and giving in marriage in the days of Noe (Noah)? It is the reason for the flood?

No not at all but rather the events that were taking place right before the drops fell. The Great Tribulation will be such a horror which man has yet to ever see then does anyone think weddings and feast etc would be going on? Rather once the rain began and GOD close the door to the ark it was too late. The first 3.5 years after the agreement or treaty with the anti-christ is agreed to by Israel will be bad the second three and a half far worse. I literally cringe every time our state department tries to get Israel to sign peace agreements or rather have them sign such agreements with other nations.

What I was saying though or meant was as in the days of Noah so will it be before the church is called out before that agreement is signed and the anti-christ actually revealed.

There is another thought to that the generation which saw Israel reborn in a day {via U.N. action} will also see the return of Christ. That still does not conflict with no one knows the day or hour Christ returns.

I believe the visions Daniel saw were sealed up and not to be understood until the time they should be revealed to us from GOD himself in the age to come being spoken of. The knowledge and communications increases. I don't think that prophecy was meant to be understood by anyone including early church leaders or even church leaders up till the atomic age and fullfillment of Israel recognized as a nation again before the world. Indeed now every nation can see Israel and her streets as well. Tonight, Tomorrow, a decade from now, or longer who knows. We need to be ready.

1 Corinthians 15:51But let me tell you a wonderful secret God has revealed to us. Not all of us will die, but we will all be transformed. 52It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who have died£ will be raised with transformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die. 53For our perishable earthly bodies must be transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 also offers some insight.

This is mans third time he has approached vast increases in knowledge and twice GOD has stepped in to prevent it from happening. First was the Garden of Eden the second was the Tower of Babel. Twice GOD interviened because He had other plans for us. This time He hasn't however except to keep some third world crazy from releasing the nuclear trigger upon the world. I believe the events spoken of in Revelation is likely a nuclear war. Some completely unimaginable to John but a real possibility today. Imagine an old man 2000 years ago sitting on Patamos and GOD showing him the events of our time. How could he possibly describe it?

When Christ was asked what would be the sign of His return, what was the first thing He said would be a sign?
