21. Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ Don’t you see? God’s kingdom is already among you."
22. Then Jesus said to the disciples, “The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Human One, and you won’t see it.
23. People will say to you, ‘Look there!’ or ‘Look here!’ Don’t leave or go chasing after them.
24. The Human One will appear on his day in the same way that a flash of lightning lights up the sky from one end to the other.
25. However, first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26. "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be during the days of the Human One.
27. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage until the day Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28. Likewise in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building.
29. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30. That’s the way it will be on the day the Human One is revealed.
