Luke 17:22-30

22Jesus said to his disciples, “The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23People will say, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Don’t run after those people.

24The day of the Son of Man  will be like lightning that flashes from one end of the sky to the other.

25But first he must suffer a lot and be rejected by the people of his day.

26“When the Son of Man comes again, the situation will be like the time of Noah.

27People were eating, drinking, and getting married until the day that Noah went into the ship. Then the flood destroyed all of them.

28“The situation will also be like the time of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29But on the day that Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from the sky and destroyed all of them.

30The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.
