Context of Luke 17:30
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. The 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. 32Remember Lot’s wife!
