The Lord Jesus warned how it will get before he returns and he compares it to the days of Noah.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The approximately 1600 years from Adam to Noah are recorded in Genesis 4-5.
The Lord Jesus continues:
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
The Lord Jesus didn’t talk about all the wickedness, just commented that none seemed worried that the end was soon coming, just like today. But Genesis reveals just how bad it was.
Genesis 6:5-6 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Has the world reached this point today? “every imagination of the thoughts…only evil continually”!
Genesis 6:11-12 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Yes, man had become wicked, evil, corrupt, so indescribable that God had to destroy all flesh. But man thought all was okay and continued in his evil ways.
Matthew 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.
