‏ Luke 17:26-31

v. 26–27: Jesus gives examples from history. He says, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.” People were eating, drinking, marrying, and living life as usual until the flood came and destroyed them all. Jesus warns that many people will ignore God until sudden judgment comes.

v. 28–30: He also mentions Lot’s time in Sodom. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building, but on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. In the same way, when Jesus is revealed, judgment will come suddenly (Luke 17:28–30 a).

v. 31: Jesus warns that on that day, people should not go back to their houses to get their belongings. When judgment comes, nothing is more important than escaping it. Do not cling to material things.
