8 The time will come when you will wish above all else to see again one of these days; but you can see it not.
9 And many men will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there is Christ. Be not deceived; go not into their ways.
10 For when the son of man will come again no man need point the way; for as the lightning lights the heavens, so will the son of man light up the heavens and earth.
11 But, lo, I say, that many generations will have come and gone before the son of man shall come in power; but when he comes no one will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there.
12 But as it was before the flood in Noah’s day, so shall it be. The people ate, they drank, were filled with merriment and sung for joy,
13 And did not know their doom until the ark was done and Noah entered in; but then the flood came on and swept them all away.
14 So, also, in the days of Lot; the people ate and drank; they bought, they sold, they planted and they reaped, they went their ways in sin, and they cared not;
15 But when the righteous Lot went from their city’s gates the earth beneath the city shook, and brimstone fires fell from heaven;
16 The gapping jaws of earth flew wide, and swallowed up their homes, their wealth, and they went down to rise no more.
17 So shall it be when comes the son of man in power.
