THE DAYS OF NOAH, THE DAYS OF LOT, AND NOW
Key verse: 26
NIV
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(A) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot.(B) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(C) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(D) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(E) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(F) 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”(G) [36] [a]
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.
He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(H)

26 (A)Just as it was in the days of (B)Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 (C)They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of (D)Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 (E)but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be (F)on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, (G)let the one who is on (H)the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 (I)Remember Lot's wife. 33 (J)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (K)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (L)There will be two women (M)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[a] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (N)“Where the corpse[b] is, there the vultures[c] will gather.”

1. The days of Noah and the days of Lot (26-29)
There are 2 catastrophic events in Genesis which are portents of the final judgment: the flood (Ge 6-7), and the destruction of Sodom by burning sulfur from the Lord. In each case, the judgment of God came suddenly, without warning. The people were engaged in the ordinary pursuits of life. They did not make room for God, but lived on a physical and material level. God was grieved because no one thanked him and no one prayed. Lot was spared by God's grace--because of Abraham's prayer--but his wife looked back. She couldn't let go of the material things of Sodom.
2. On the day of the Son of Man (3
-37)
When Jesus comes again to judge the earth, he will come suddenly. Though two people are in the same place, doing the same thing, their inner lives can be very different. Jesus sees our hearts. One will be saved, and the other lost. God can't save those who reject his grace and live like animals.
Prayer: Lord, teach me to walk with you daily as I go about the ordinary pursuits of my life.
One Word: Make room for God in your heart
