M. R. De Haan’s book explores the biblical narrative of Noah, especially as found in Genesis 6–9 and Matthew 24, and argues that the conditions of Noah’s time provide a prophetic pattern for the “last days.”
Here’s a structured breakdown of the book’s major themes:
Moral decline De Haan draws parallels between the corruption and violence of Noah’s generation and the moral confusion of the modern world.
Divine patience and warning He emphasizes that God gave Noah’s world ample warning — a pattern he believes applies prophetically today.
Judgment and deliverance The Flood is presented as both catastrophic judgment and a picture of God’s ability to preserve the faithful.
Typology of the Ark De Haan interprets the Ark as a symbol of salvation, connecting it to Christian theological themes.
