The Days of Noah

As part of Jesus' "Little Apocalypse" recorded in Luke 17:20-37, he states that conditions right before the Second Coming will be like the days of Noah just before the flood. This has caused some commentators to turn immediately to Genesis and note that the people on earth at that time were evil beyond measure. They then draw the parallel to today's world and conclude that Jesus is bound to come within a very short time span.  What they fail to note is that Jesus goes on in Luke's account to explain that the people in Noah's time were carrying on their daily activities of life without a clue that judgment was about to hit them.  In fact, one could almost draw the logical conclusion from these verses that the more people talk about our living in the last generation, the less likely it is to be true.

Technically, this is more complex than most of my assemblages and involves collage, watercolor, acrylic, thread, clock parts imbedded in polystyrene, and a plexiglass sheet.
