The Coming of God’s Kingdom

Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will God’s kingdom come?”

Jesus answered, “When the Son of Man comes again, it will be the same as it was when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, and getting married even on the day when Noah entered the boat. Then the flood came and killed them all.

“It will be the same as during the time of Lot, when God destroyed Sodom. Those people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building houses for themselves. They were doing these things even on the day when Lot left town. Then fire and sulfur rained down from the sky and killed them all. 

This is exactly how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.

“Whoever tries to keep the life they have will lose it. But whoever gives up their life will save it.
