Jesus says His return will be like the time of Noah
Genesis 7:16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; a
nd the Lord shut him in.
Genesis 7
Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen
that you
are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that
are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep [
a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will [
b]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” 5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. 6 Noah
was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, of animals that
are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, 9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark— 14 they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which
is the breath of life. 16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.

The Lord shut him in, the Lord will shut the door, and no one else may enter into His presence and be saved, it is the end of the world-age
Perhaps some banged their fists on the ark and sought to enter, but they were the unrighteous and the time of their destruction was ripe.
It was their end.
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:
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see
it. 23 And they will say to you, [
h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after
them or follow
them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one
part under heaven shines to the other
part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed
them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
