Hi santgem,
Why does Mat 24:38 say "they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark"?
Why doesn't it say "they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that the flood came"?

hi again zvezda,
The answer is in verse 39, And knew not until the flood came.
Mat 24:39
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Why do the verses have to mention both the day Noah went in and the day the flood came? Wouldn't it be good enough to make the point by just saying they were eating, drinking, marrying and did not know until the flood came?

The reason that the 7 days are mentioned is because it did happen that way and God saw fit to have it recorded as fact and do believe there is a reason that God wanted it to be put in there, but I have already said what I think it is.

That's the point, Kat.
God saw fit to have it recorded as fact that there were 2 events, with 2 end dates. it wasn't two events with one end date. It's like God is telling us event1 was happening until date1, and event2 was happening until date2.
It was business as usual either until the day Noah entered the ark, or until the flood came, you can't have it both ways.
To make the verses more clear, I think we can insert the 2 dates into the verses. Let's assume Noah entered the ark on Dec 1, and seven days later the flood came on Dec 8.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
v. 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark [on Dec 1], and the flood came [on Dec 8] and destroyed them all.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
v. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark [on Dec 1],
v. 39 and did not know until the flood came [on Dec 8] and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
If you still think they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until Dec 8, then I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
By the way, I remember Dennis once questioned about "the tribulations in the end time and also what seems to be a normal lifestyle with getting married, etc. How can both be true at the same time" (see http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,14735.msg130374.html#msg130374 )
I was thinking it makes more sense if people stop having normal lifestyle during the tribulations, just like the 7 days between Noah entered the ark and when the flood came.
