No
one will say, Look here! or, look there! for, behold, the kingdom of
God is within you.
Then He said to the disciples, The days will come, when you will long
to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
They will say to you, See here; or, see there. Do not go after them or
follow them. For just as lightning flashes and lights the heavens from
one part to another; so also shall the Son of man be in His day.
But first you must suffer many things, and be rejected by this
generation. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days
of the Son of man. People ate and drank, they married and were given
in marriage up until the day that Noah entered the ark when the flood
came and destroyed them all.
It was the same in the days of Lot. They ate and drank, bought and
sold, planted and built. But the same day that Lot left Sodom, it
rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
This is how it shall be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. On
that day, he who is up on the housetop, and his belongings downstairs
in the house should not go down for them. He who is in the field
should not turn back. Remember Lot's wife.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his
life will save it.
