Luc 17:26

26 Et ce qui arriva du temps de Noé, arrivera de même au temps du Fils de l'homme:

Luc 17:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:26

And as it was in the days of Noe
Whilst he was building the ark, and before he went into it; for this respects the days of Noah before the flood, and not after it; for he lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years, ( Genesis 9:28 )

so shall it be also in the days of the son of man;
some time before, and at his coming in power, and great glory, to destroy the Jews, their nation, city, and temple; and as then, so it will be when he shall come in person, at the last day, to destroy the world: the times of Noah's flood, of Jerusalem's destruction, and of the end of the world, bear a great resemblance to each other: and when the son of man comes in either of these senses, then will the kingdom of God come; or then will it appear that the Messiah is come, and has took to himself his great power, and reigns.

Luc 17:26 In-Context

24 Car comme l'éclair flamboyant brille d'une extrémité du ciel à l'autre, ainsi paraîtra le Fils de l'homme en son jour.
25 Mais il faut auparavant qu'il souffre beaucoup et qu'il soit rejeté par cette génération.
26 Et ce qui arriva du temps de Noé, arrivera de même au temps du Fils de l'homme:
27 On mangeait, on buvait, on prenait et on donnait en mariage, jusqu'au jour où Noé entra dans l'arche; et le déluge vint qui les fit tous périr.
28 C'est encore ce qui arriva du temps de Lot: On mangeait, on buvait, on achetait, on vendait, on plantait et on bâtissait;
