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 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 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];
[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).
