And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
All Commentaries on Luke 17:26 Go To Luke 17
Cyril of Alexandria

To show that he will appear unexpectedly and with no one knowing it, the Lord says that the end of the world will come and be as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. He says, “They were eating and drinking, and were taking wives and being made the wives of men. They were selling and buying and building,” but the coming of the waters destroyed the one, while the others were the prey and food of fire and brimstone. What does this signify? It signifies that he requires us to be always watchful and ready to make our defense before the tribunal of God. Commentary on Luke, Homily
