A COMPLEX PROPHECY REVEALED III
“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
Luke 17:26-30

b. The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus.
i. It would be to Reveal the Lord Jesus as King and Judge.
ii. It would be a time of Retribution for the wicked.

b. Reference to the Lord:
i. Sodom (and Gomorrah) did not believe in divine retribution.
ii. Sodom was destroyed because the people remained unrepentant.
4. The Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
a. Many do not believe in the Lord Jesus.
b. Neither do they expect that He would return.
c. Life would go on “as normal” till it is too late to repent.

显现了一个复杂的预言 III
“挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。那时候的人又吃又喝，又娶又嫁，到挪亚进方舟的那日，洪水就来，把他们全都灭了。又好像罗得的日子，人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又盖造，到罗得出所多玛的那日，就有火与硫磺从天上降下来，把他们全都灭了。人子显现的日子也要这样。”
