The Coming of the Kingdom

Luke 17

20 And when he was asked of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 neither shall they say, Behold it here! or, Behold it there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23 And they shall say to you, Behold it here, or, Behold it there; do not go, nor follow them. 24 For as the lightning, which shines from the region under heaven, shines in that which is under heaven; so also shall the Son of man be in his day. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it 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 into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he who shall be upon the housetop and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his soul shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall cause it to live. 34 I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
