(139) The Coming Kingdom of God
Luke 17:20-37
[20]Now when the Pharisees demanded that Jesus tell them when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation, [21]nor shall they say, ‘See, here it is!’ or ‘See, there it is!’ For look, 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, but you will not see them.
[23]“And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. [24]For just as the lightning flashes under one part of heaven and shines to the other part, so will also the Son of Man 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 shall it also be 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. Then 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 the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. [30]Even so shall 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, don’t bother to go down and get them. Likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return back. [32]Remember Lot’s wife.
[33]“Whoever seeks to save his life shall lose it, and whoever will lose his life shall preserve it. [34]I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. [35]Two will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left. [36]Two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.”
[37]“Where Lord?” they asked.
And He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
(139) The Coming Kingdom of God
Luke 17:20-37, KJV
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo 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, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 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 which 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 return back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 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, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
