Context of Luke 17:29

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. But 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. 31“On that day those who are on the roof shouldn’t come down to get their belongings out of their houses. Those who are in the field shouldn’t turn back.

Commentaries on Luke 17:29

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29It rained fire and brimstone - Instead of it rained, Genesis 19:24; justifies the insertion of the pronoun he, as implied in the verb ; for it is there said that Jehovah rained fire and brimstone from Jehovah out of heaven.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-30Verses 28-30 They did eat … - They were busy in the affairs of this life, as if nothing were about to happen. The same day … - See Genesis 19:23-25. “It rained.” The word here used “might” have been rendered “he” rained. In Genesis it is said that the “Lord” did it.

• 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.

• 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
