Now at one point the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom
of God was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not
coming with signs to be observed, // nor will they say, ‘Look,
here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is in
your midst.” // Then 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. // Then people will say to
you, ‘Look, there he is!’ or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go
out or chase after them. // For 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. // But first he must suffer
many things and be rejected by this generation. // Just as it
was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the
Son of Man. // People 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. // Likewise, just as it was in the days of
Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting,
building;// but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and
sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. // It
will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed. // On
that day, anyone who is on the roof, with his goods in the
house, must not come down to take them away, and likewise the
person in the field must not turn back. // Remember Lot’s
wife!// Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life will preserve it. // I tell you, in
that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be
taken and the other left. // There will be two women grinding
grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” //
Then the disciples said to him, “Where, Lord?” He replied to
them, “Where the dead body is, there the vultures will
gather.”
-- Luke 17:20-37 NET
