Luke 17:22-30

22Then he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

23Then people will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24For just like the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

27People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;

29but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
