- Luke 17:26-30 (cf. Matthew 24:26-29)–"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed."
- destruction for unbelievers
- happens fast
- there are warnings that go unheeded (Noah preached for x years before the flood came) ?? (the Matthew account says that they knew nothing about what would happen…)
- destroyed them all
- normal life up to the time of destruction (eating, drinking, marrying, etc.)
- it happened on the “same day” (Noah entered the ark → destruction came (flood); Lot left Sodom → fire and sulfur rained down)
- it will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed
- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10–This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power 10on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed.

- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17–For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
