Luke 17:30

Luke 17:30 says, Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.  Jesus said that just as life went on as normal before God sent His judgment on people in the past, the same would be true when the Son of Man was revealed and the people who did not believe in Him would try to destroy those who did.  Verse thirty-one adds, In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.  Jesus said that people were not to be concerned about their possessions in that day.  Those who put their faith in Christ when He was revealed would be separated from those who didn't.   Verse thirty-two states, Remember Lot’s wife.  The disciples were reminded of Lot’s wife, who looked back in disobedience to God's warning and was turned into a pillow of salt.  Even as we await the return of Jesus Christ, we do not need to be looking back on the things of this world feeling like we have lost something by following Him.  Verse thirty-three adds, Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.  This to me says that if we are still trying to save our life by our own ability that we will lose it, but if we have lost our life to our own abilities by faith in Jesus Christ that we will save it by that faith.  Verse thirty-four states, I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.  Jesus said that two men would be sleeping, and one would be taken and the other left.  This does not mean that fifty percent of the people are saved though, only that God will claim those that are His and the others will be left behind.  Verse thirty-five adds, Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Once more one would be taken and the other left.  Verse thirty-six continues, Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Once again, there wasxa division between the two, just as there will be a division between believers and non-believers when Christ returns.   Verse thirty-seven states, And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.  The disciples asked where twhis would happen, and Jesus said where the body is that there would be a gathering of eagles.  Wherever those who believe in Jesus Christ are gathered, there He will be also.  It is not just one particular location, such as Israel then, but around the world where people are gathered together by faith in Jesus that this will happen.
