LUKE 17

 

The kingdom of God is within

 

Luke  17:20  And

            [1] when he [Jesus] was demanded of the Pharisees,

                        [a.] when the kingdom of God should come,

            [2] he answered them and said,

                        [a.] The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

 17:21             [b.] Neither shall they say,

                                    [11.] Lo here! or,

                                    [12.] lo there! for,

                        [c.] behold,

[11.] the kingdom of God is within you.

 

The days of the Son of man [1]

 

 17:22  And he said unto the disciples [Jesus is speaking to His Jewish disciples, who were to become His Church],

            [1] The days will come,

                        [a.] when ye [His Church] shall desire to see

[11.] one of the days of the Son of man ( vs. 26, 28),

                        [b.] and ye shall not see [it].

 17:23  And

            [2] they [the wicked world] shall say to you,

                        [a.] See here; or,

                        [b.] see there:

            [3] go not after [them],

            [4] nor follow [them].

 17:24  [5] For as the lightning,

                        [a.] that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven,

                        [b.] shineth unto the other [part] under heaven;

                        [c.] so shall also the Son of man be

[11.] in his day [His appearing is as a sudden bright flash].

 17:25  [6] But first must he

                        [a.] suffer many things, and

                        [b.] be rejected of this generation [the generation of Jesus’ day].

 

The days of Noah:

The first half of the Antichrist Covenant week of years 

[c/p. Matt. 24:37]

 

 17:26  And

            [1] as it was in the days of Noe [Noah],

            [2] so shall it be also

[a.] in the days of the Son of man [the days of the Son of man are compared first to the days of Noah (vs. 22)].

 17:27                         [11.] They did eat,

                                    [12.] they drank,

[13.] they married wives [marriage is the distinguishing characteristic of the days of Noah],

                                    [14.] they were given in marriage,

[aa.] until the day [the righteous will marry until the day they enter their ark of safety] that

[111.] Noe entered into the ark [this is the Rapture of the Church at the mid-point of The Antichrist Covenant week of years], and

[112.] the flood came [the wrath of God],

[aaa.] and destroyed them all [beginning with the opening of Revelation’s sixth seal and its destructions (Rev. 6:12)].

 

The days of Lot:

The second half of the Antichrist Covenant week of years:  following the Rapture of the Church

 

 17:28  Likewise also [the days of the Son of man are next compared to the days of Lot (vs. 22; c/p. the time of Jacob's trouble  Jer. 30:7; Matt. 24:21; Dan. 12:1)]

[1] as it was in the days of Lot [during the ministry of the 144,000 and two witnesses (Rev. 7:1-4; Rev. 11:3)];

                        [a.] they did eat,

                        [b.] they drank,

                        [c.] they bought,

                        [d.] they sold,

                        [e.] they planted,

[f.] they builded [business as usual, but note: no mention of marriage];

 

 17:29  But the same day that

[1] Lot went out of Sodom [when the 144,000 are raptured and two witnesses are resurrected from the dead in the city who’s spiritual name is Sodom [sexual depravity] and Egypt [worldliness] (Rev. 11:7-13)]

                        [a.] it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and

[11.] destroyed [them] all [the blowing of the 7th trumpet marks the completion of the second woe and end of The Antichrist Covenant week and Daniel’s 70th week of years (Rev. 11:14-15): the wrath of God and return of Jesus to occur within just 75 days (see Daniel 12:11-12)].

 

 17:30  Even thus shall it be in the day

[1] when the Son of man is revealed [this is the day of the second coming of Jesus (2 Thes. 1:7-10)]. 


[1] The days of the Son of man taken in the context of this passage have to do with the revelation of Jesus given in the Book of Revelation, Chapters 4 through 11—The Antichrist’s  Covenant week of years (Dan. 9:24-27)—which begins with the opening of the first seal (Rev. 6:1) and ends with the ascension of the two witnesses (Rev. 11:11) and blowing of the 7th trumpet (Rev. 11:15).
