The Final Act Has a Very Boring Opening Scene

 

Just as it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

Luke 17:26

Plenty of people are plenty curious about what it's going to be like when Jesus returns to Earth. This verse gives us a pretty good idea.

And if there's any doubt about what Jesus meant by "as it was in the days of Noah, Jesus elaborates in verse 27:

People went on eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

In other words, most people will be going about their normal day-to-day lives with no idea whatsoever that it's all about to come to an end.

The next two verses double down on the same thought:

It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.

Truth is...If you're looking for something specific to give you fair warning that the end of time is about to happen, prepare to be disappointed. Better to be like Noah and Lot and obediently carry out whatever task God sets before you. Then let the clock stop whenever it wants.
