24For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
