On the way of Christ, the Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God would come. Jesus answered: “The kingdom of God does not come in such a way that it can be observed, and no one will say that it is here or there, because in reality, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” »
He said to the disciples: There will come a time when you will wish to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. They will tell you to look here or there. Do not follow them, for the Son of Man in his day will be like lightning that flashes from one end of the sky to the other.
But it is necessary for him to suffer a lot first and be rejected by the people of this age, the time of the son of man will be like the time of Noah. People were eating and drinking, marrying and marrying until the day when Noah entered the ark and the flood destroyed everything. It will also be like the time of Lot when people ate and drank and were engaged in buying and selling, cultivating and building houses. But on the day Lot came out of Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from the sky and destroyed everyone. The day when the Son of Man appears will be like that time.
The coming of the kingdom of God (the way of Christ)
On that day, a man who is on the roof and his possessions are in the house should not come down to take them. Also, whoever is in the field should not return. Remember Lot’s wife! Whoever tries to save his life will lose it and whoever sacrifices his life will save it. Know that on that night, out of two people who are in the same bed, one will be taken and the other will be left. Of two women who touch each other, they take one and leave the other. Of the two men who are in the field, one is taken and the other stays in his place. When the disciples heard this, they asked, “Where are you, Lord?” He said: “Scavengers gather wherever there is a carcass.”
Luke 17:37-20
This text appears to be a theorizing about the Day of Judgment and judgment in human actions (the way of Christ) which is expressed in some religions, especially Christianity. The text refers to the following:
The man on the roof: This may refer to a person who keeps his wealth safe and shirks his social responsibility.
Someone who is in the field: may represent a person who is trying to improve the human and social situation and should not give up on this effort.
Lot’s wife: refers to a woman who in the story of Lot from the Bible refers to the wrong marriage and not paying attention to religious principles.
Salvation of the soul: This may refer to the necessity of striving for salvation in the afterlife and cleansing from sin.
Two people in one bed: This may refer to the division of people based on their deeds and behavior on the Day of Judgment.
Two women holding hands: This may refer to the similar behavior of two people who will be different in the afterlife.
Two men in a field: This may also refer to the division of people according to their actions.
In general, the text indicates that on the Day of Resurrection, people will be divided based on their actions and behaviors, and these actions will have an important effect on their salvation or condemnation.
