As it was in the days
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
This is an example of how we have been given a pattern in the Old Testament that applies to the New Testament. There are many who are looking at the Holy Feast Days of the Lord in the Old Testament because they are a shadow of things to come. However, if they were a holy convocation for our rapture we would have been told to keep them, but instead Paul told us clearly that we are not to keep them and we are not to let anyone judge us concerning them. So I don't see why anyone would be looking at one of the Lord's feast days in the Old Testament as a "high watch day". That said, Jesus did tell us the rapture would be as it was in the days of Noah.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
The first thing He tells us is that they will be going about their life as if nothing is going on right up to the day the flood comes and destroys them all. That is quite amazing if you think about it. In 2017 we had the Revelation 12 sign and quite a few people have made very detailed videos about that sign. By itself it is amazing, indicating the Lord is coming. But when you couple it with Israel having returned to the Land in 1948, they took control of Jerusalem in 1967, and then in 2017, 69 years later, we get this sign! That ties in with "this generation shall in no wise pass away". According to Moses a generation is 70-80 years long. This means this sign came as a warning to us right as we were approaching the 70 year mark. We had a worldwide pandemic, the first time in human history the whole world shut down their economy. That is a fulfillment of a prophecy in Joel indicating that the day of the Lord is at hand. In 2023 Hamas attacked Israel and since that day the war has escalated to where Israel is being attacked on 7 sides. They are fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iran. Jesus said when you see Jerusalem surrounded and under siege look up for your redemption draws nigh. Then on October 2, which was also the Feast of Trumpets, the UN agreed to the Pact for the Future which looks like the covenant with the many that Daniel refers to which marks the start of the 70th week. We also see AI rising (beast system) out of the nations, and we see everything in place for the Mark of the Beast. You would think every single Christian on the planet would be proclaiming that Jesus is coming and the rapture is at hand. And yet, just like Jesus said despite all these prophecies being fulfilled people are simply going about their business, oblivious. So then this prophecy is clearly about the apostasy, but more likely about how clueless and mesmerized the unbelieving world is. But Jesus also said "until the day that Noah entered the Ark". The day Noah enters the ark is also the day of the rapture. Jesus never told us this about a feast day but He did say it about the days of Noah.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
There are a number of watchmen who have gone into detail on the days of Noah, but not so much on the days of Lot. There is no mention of marriage when talking about Sodom and Gomorrah, that could be a reference to the LGBTQ+ influence. Or Jesus may be equating "buying and selling, planting and building" to the marriage contract. We consider buying and selling as a very common occurrence while marrying and giving in marriage is supposed to be once in your life. But by equating these it makes marriage and divorce seem as common as buying a house and selling a house, or buying a car and selling a car. With Noah we are impressed that they could be oblivious to what is coming and that is a sign of how the apostate church is in darkness. With Lot we are impressed with how immoral they are and things that are supposed to be sacred are treated as common.
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Look at how Jesus says this. "The same day that Lot went out of Sodom". With Lot the point is that the destruction and the escape both occur on the same day. With Noah it occurs on the day that Noah entered the Ark.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Now this might confuse us. What is the day that the Son of Man is revealed? Perhaps He is talking about at the end of the seven years? But we have two big clues. First, this account of Lot being a reference to the rapture is only in the book of Luke. I have demonstrated in comparing the three synoptic gospels that Matthew is referring to the salvation of the Jews as a nation, Mark is referring to the salvation of the tribulation saints, and Luke is referring to those raptured prior to the tribulation. So that is one big clue that we are talking about the "pre-tribulation rapture". The second big clue is in Revelation, when the church in Philadelphia is kept from the hour of trial they are revealed to be the ones who were truly following the Lord. That is when Jesus makes the synagogue of Satan to come and worship at their feet. A second clue that the day when the Son of man is revealed is the pre-tribulation rapture.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Now this verse is in all three gospels. So when the Abomination of desolation is set up in the Holy of Holies you should flee just as in the day that fire fell from heaven. That is what both Matthew and Mark are referring to, but not to what Luke is. Luke is referring to the pre-trib rapture. Mark and Matthew are referring to the Antichrist being revealed.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
So the discussion here is of the apostate church. Abraham refers to those living the life of the altar and the tent. Lot represents righteous (saved by the blood) Christians living in Sodom and trying to get along in a very sinful world. Lot was successful, working in the gate of the city. He had a wife, two daughters and they were engaged to two men. However, only Lot and his two daughters escape from Sodom, they lose everything. Three escape and three die. So half of those in this church die, the other half are refugees fleeing to the wilderness. Lot describes the left behind saints, whereas entering the Ark with Noah could signify entering the chamber in heaven with the Lord.
