argue that what the Scripture means by that is that what characterized the days of Noah that God responded to with such severe judgment was that the sanctity of marriage was so tarnished by sin

that people were marrying, divorcing, marrying, divorcing.

It was like a merry-go-round where the sanctity of marriage was not being honored at all, and that was one of the reasons why God sent the flood to punish them.

And Jesus says, it's going to be just like that when I come in judgment, and perhaps

He's saying that people will be at ease in Zion, totally disregarding God's regulation for marriage.

But in heaven, there'll be no divorce.

There'll be no cheap marriage.

Now, maybe that's all Jesus is getting at here, but I don't see how that would answer the question that is being posed by the Sadducees.

I'm not persuaded by that particular option.

I think Jesus is speaking straightforwardly here, saying there's not going to be any marriage in heaven.

We're going to be just like the angels.

The angels aren't married.

The angels don't have offspring.

They don't procreate.

And when I say that, my wife is disappointed.

And I say, but think of it, honey.

Why would you want to be married to me in heaven?

You want to put up with me for all eternity?

I said, think about it.

When we're in heaven, there'll be no sin.
