29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all--
29 right up to the day Lot walked out of Sodom and a firestorm swept down and burned everything to a crisp.
29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
29 until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 17:29
Commentary on Luke 17:20-37
(Read Luke 17:20-37)
The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as is here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who are marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God.
