A COMPLEX PROPHECY REVEALED III
“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
Luke 17:26-30
1. The Day of the Son of Man revealed.
a. This is the key statement in this text.
b. This prophecy concerns the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. It would be a Time of Judgment.
a. The First Coming of the Lord Jesus.
i. It was for Redemption.
ii. It was Reconciliation.
b. The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus.
i. It would be to Reveal the Lord Jesus as King and Judge.
ii. It would be a time of Retribution for the wicked.
iii. It would be a time for Rewarding the faithful.
3. Two analogies made.
a. Reference to Noah:
i. Hardly anybody believed in the Flood.
ii. Life was as normal till the great Flood came with destructive force.
b. Reference to the Lord:
i. Sodom (and Gomorrah) did not believe in divine retribution.
ii. Sodom was destroyed because the people remained unrepentant.
4. The Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
a. Many do not believe in the Lord Jesus.
b. Neither do they expect that He would return.
c. Life would go on “as normal” till it is too late to repent.

显现了一个复杂的预言 III
“挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。那时候的人又吃又喝，又娶又嫁，到挪亚进方舟的那日，洪水就来，把他们全都灭了。又好像罗得的日子，人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又盖造，到罗得出所多玛的那日，就有火与硫磺从天上降下来，把他们全都灭了。人子显现的日子也要这样。”
《路加福音 17：26-30》
1. 人子显现的日子
a. 这是本文的关键陈述
b. 这个预言是关于主耶稣基督的再次降临
2. 这将是一个审判的时刻
a. 主耶稣的第一次降临
i. 这是为了救赎
ii. 这是为了和解
b. 主耶稣第二次降临
i. 将显示主耶稣为君王和审判者
ii. 这将是对恶人进行报复的时候
iii. 这将是奖励忠实的信徒的时候
3. 做了两个类比
a. 以挪亚为参考：
i. 几乎没有人相信洪水
ii. 生活很正常，直到大洪水以毁灭性的力量来袭
b. 提到主：
i. 所多玛（和蛾摩拉）不相信上帝的报复
ii. 所多玛被毁灭是因为人们仍然不悔改
4. 主耶稣基督的再次降临
a. 许多人不相信主耶稣
b. 他们也不期望祂会回来
c. 生活会“照常”继续，直到悔改为时已晚
“挪亚的日子怎样，人子的日子也要怎样。那时候的人又吃又喝，又娶又嫁，到挪亚进方舟的那日，洪水就来，把他们全都灭了。又好像罗得的日子，人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又盖造，到罗得出所多玛的那日，就有火与硫磺从天上降下来，把他们全都灭了。人子显现的日子也要这样。”
