Summary

What will the SOCIAL and SPIRITUAL condition of the culture look like just prior to Jesus’ return? In Luke 17 Jesus says it will be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot—a righteous minority living among a wicked majority. The wickedness in the world will not only be tolerated but celebrated too and people will think it is “normal.” So how do we maintain the Biblical mission to win the world for Christ without allowing the world to influence us while we wait for Christ’s return? Pastor Gary shares the answer to that question in today’s teaching from Luke 17.

I'm going to read out of Luke 17, starting in verse 20, down through verse 37, through the end of the

0:05.0

chapter. This is what it says, verse 20. Now, when He, that is Jesus, was asked by the Pharisees, when the

0:12.4

kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, the kingdom of God does not come with

0:16.9

observation, nor will they say, see here or see there, for indeed the kingdom of God

0:21.8

is within you. And then he said to the disciples, the days will come when you will desire to see one

0:27.3

of the days of the son of man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, look here or look

0:32.7

there. Do not go after them or follow them. For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven

0:40.5

shines to the other part under heaven so also the son of man will be in his day but first he must

0:47.9

suffer many things and be rejected by this generation and as it was in the days of noah so it will also be in the days of the son of man.

0:57.7

They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage until the day that Noah

1:02.2

entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, as it was also in the days

1:08.8

of Lot. They ate, they drank ate they drank they bought they sold they planted

1:13.4

they built but on the day that lot went out of sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven

1:19.3

and destroyed them all even so will it be in the day when the son of man is revealed in that day he

1:26.3

was on the house top and his goods are in the house,

1:31.3

let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, the one who was in the field, let him not

1:37.2

turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it and whoever loses his life will preserve it

1:45.6

I tell you in that night there will be two men in one bed one will be taken the other left

1:52.6

I know that looks a little funny but I'll explain in a minute you guys I'm right about what's going on

1:56.1

verse 35 two women will be grinding together the one will be be taken the other left. Two men will be in the field. The one will be taken and the other left. And they answered and said to him, where, Lord? And so he said to them, wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. Okay, that's kind of an odd conclusion to

2:20.8

everything he's just said. And then it just kind of leaves us hanging there. So let me start with

2:25.3

that last verse first. Jesus said there, wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered
