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.
All Commentaries on Luke 17:34 Go To Luke 17
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
In that night there shall be two men in one bed. By the word night it may be thought that the universal judgment of Christ will take place at night, for the greater terror of men. But I reply, That which in verse31is called day, is here called night. First, Because the day of judgment will be to very many, and certainly to all who have fallen away, fatal and most calamitous. For night and darkness are symbols of calamity. Secondly, As night closes the day and the time of labour, so will that day also close the time of labouring and meriting, according to the words, "The night cometh when no man can work." John ix4. Rightly then is the day of judgment called night.
