I believe the "thief in the night" reference is to show the element of surprise to His coming - when we least expect it.
But it wont be a surprise to the ones expecting it (like they are told to do in the Bible).

Hebrews 11 mentions Noah as a preacher of righteousness, but Noah didn't preach shit. Anyone can read the Genesis account and clearly see that God had already made up his mind to destroy everyone else. No preaching was therefore needed. No magazines to pass out. No return visits.
The story is bullshit, and the mention of Noah actually preaching would be bullshit even if the story was true, based upon the actual account. That makes it double bullshit.
Who wants to worship a God who kills people for the following explicitly stated reasons?:
1) They dared to eat food! They dared to drink!
2) They dared to marry!
3) They dared to plant!
4) They dared to build stuff!
Why were these things mentioned several times in the scriptures, then? Did God want people to quit eating and do something else? Why did people EATING piss Him off so much? Even if they did have other important things to do, they still had to EAT! Why was it even mentioned?
Based upon the Biblical evidence, virtually every second of every day of every year since the beginning of human existence, God gave himself a reason to slaughter everyone.
As I said, it is all bullshit. Trying to make excuses like saying "they were too busy getting on with life to do good things, or they were immoral" is putting words in the scriptures that simply are not there.

I agree. The Ark was not made for very many humans, therefore God (the designer of the Ark's dimensions) would have made more room (if he wanted more humans in it).

Where does it say that?
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

How did he condemn it? By shaking his fist in their general direction?

Warnings, time, judgment, all that comes with it.
