Speaking of His return in Luke 17, the Lord Jesus says from verse 28,
"Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;"
Verse 29 - "But ON THE DAY in which Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all."
Verse 30 - "It will be IN THE SAME WAY on the day in which the Son of Man is revealed."
If we read the account of the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah in Genesis 19, we see that after the righteous Lot was evacuated, judgement fell upon the two cities IMMEDIATELY(verses 22 - 24).
Doesn't this picture from the Lord show us that the interval between the rapture of the church & the judgement of the ungodly will be brief, rather than the 7 years which is commonly believed among those of a pre-trib perspective ?
Your thoughts, please ?
Thanks in advance for all polite, sincere answers.
May God bless you.
