This is the time to flee Jerusalem and Judah

17:31 In that day [the day the Son of man is revealed],

[1] he which shall be upon the housetop,

[a.] and his stuff in the house,

[2] let him not come down

[a.] to take it away: and

[3] he that is in the field,

[a.] let him likewise not return back.

17:32 Remember Lot's wife [she looked back to the things of the world and lost her life].

17:33 [1] Whosoever shall seek to save his life

[a.] shall lose it; and

[2] whosoever shall lose his life

[b.] shall preserve it [only absolute trust in God will bring one through the time of Jacob’s trouble alive (Jer. 30:7; Dan. 12:1)].

The judgment of Armageddon

17:34 I tell you, in that night [c/p. Matt. 24:40]

[1] there shall be two [men] in one bed;

[a.] the one shall be taken, and

[b.] the other shall be left.

17:35 [2] Two [women] shall be grinding together;

[a.] the one shall be taken, and

[b.] the other left.

17:36 [3] Two [men] shall be in the field;

[a.] the one shall be taken, and

[b.] the other left.

17:37 And

[1] they answered and said unto him,

[a.] Where, Lord?

[2] And he said unto them,

[a.] Wheresoever the body [is],

[11.] thither will the eagles [flesh-eating birds]

[aa.] be gathered together (Rev 19:17; c/p. Matt. 24:28).
