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. People 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.

Commentaries on Luke 17:27

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27They did eat, they drank, etc. - They spent their whole lives in reference to this world; and made no sort of provision for their immortal souls. So it was when the Romans came to destroy Judea; there was a universal carelessness, and no one seemed to regard the warnings given by the Son of God.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-37Verses 20-37 The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-29in the days of Noah … in the days of Lot: See Genesis 6–9 for Noah and Genesis 18:16–19:29 for Lot. Both stories describe God's severe judgment against human evil.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 26-3026-30. eat ... married ... planted--all the ordinary occupations and enjoyments of life. Though the antediluvian world and the cities of the plain were awfully wicked, it is not their wickedness, but their worldliness, their unbelief and indifference to the future, their unpreparedness, that is here held up as a warning. Note.--These recorded events of Old Testament history--denied or explained away nowadays by not a few--are referred to here as facts.Read the comment
