Context of Luke 17:26
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. “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.
