In today's 4th part of this series, we will finish Luke chapter 17. After He healed the Samaritan leper, Jesus was asked by people with bad intentions “when would the kingdom of God arrive?” He responded that surely the kingdom is inside of us. He then went on to describe in
detail for His disciples that while the kingdom of Godis truly coming, it will not be in anything that we see or experience in this world. Then He described what that day (moment) will be like.
He described how that day (also described as the Day of the Lord) will arrive in an
He described how that day (also described as the Day of the Lord) will arrive in an
instant like a flash of lightning that is seen all around the world. He also said that before that day, things in this world will get really bad and that there will be many deceivers. Jesus said that in those days many will reject and attack Him (His Word and Godly principles
along with those who follow Him). He said that many of us will pray for His presence. Does any of this sound familiar?
Then He compared those last days to the days of Noah (the rainbow) and the days of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Ask yourselves what are the things that these two
Then He compared those last days to the days of Noah (the rainbow) and the days of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Ask yourselves what are the things that these two
historical times in bible history have in common? Jesus said that the conditions in this world will also be just like those on the Day of the Lord. He gave us a warning with tons of information and details about what to look for.
Then He described what will be “different” about the people who are saved from the judgment and destruction that is coming (just as it was in the days of Noah and Lot). The difference will be that the ones who are rescued and saved understand that true life and the kingdom of God
is inside of them and NOT in the things that were being pushed in the world around them. Just as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, we will hear the righteous voice of God from inside of us and will do things that make no sense at all to the world. In fact we will be attacked
and ridiculed by the world.
Now let’s read and pray.
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Godwould come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of Goddoes not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or
Now let’s read and pray.
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Godwould come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of Goddoes not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or
‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after
them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of
Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 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. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate,
they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 “In that day, he who is on the
housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 I tell you,
in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” 37 And they answered
and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” - Luke 17:20-37
