Luke 17, Gods physical kingdom and his coming kingdom: A time of Noah likewise that of Lots.
Luke 17 begins with manners of ways the last days characteristics may be: Offence, it tells us how to deal with them. By forgiving because Christ has forgiven us. Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything, you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
We are unworthy servants who choose to do Gods duty because we thank God, we can do what he told us to do so the kingdom of God will come nigh unto you. This began the pharisees question on when the kingdom of Yahua should come.
20 and Jesus answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
The days of Noah typified in Luke 17:26-27, depicts a day of great flooding that would destroy the earth. Although, God had promised that he would not destroy the earth again, however the days of Noah was known with the water element and flooding to destroy the earth. The scriptures go on to say why the DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN would be likened to that of Noah it says, and I quote:
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

So, we have a before Christ time frame and an after Christ time frame. Typically, this Generation is the Generation of Christ, the Generation of Salvation through Christ Jesus; and he further illustrates it with the 10 lepers where only the foreigner rejoices after 9 were saved. It is the time of the Gentiles, that would see the flooding where they would eat, drink had many wives and be given in marriage…
The bible then goes on to say in the next verse that the time of lot and Noah are alike except in the time of lot more things would happen like eating, drinking, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
They key difference is in Noah’s days i.e., the days of the son of man they married and had many wives however in the days of lot i.e., the days when the son of man is revealed they were more who bought sold more and built in these times. While it seems plausible that these are my ramblings but there is a definite distinction between the days of the son of man (Where he dwells in us) and the days when the son of man is revealed (His 2nd coming).
His first coming reveals the happenings in the times of the son of man (Gentiles); Noah while the time of lots was a time where Gold and goods where traded. Typifying the difference in times. This two time show the sequence of salvation: baptism with water and the word and baptism with fire (the holyspirit). A similar view with 1 kings 18: 38
The fire consumed the sacrifice, the wood (the cross), stone (Jesus, the church (the stone the builders rejected), (living stone)), and dust (dust we come and return – flesh) and it licked up the water in the bench – I Kings 18:33-38
1 Kings 18 KJV – And it came to pass after many days, – Bible Gateway
We see water is first poured before fire consumed the sacrifice and it rained. Similarly, Noah’s period came first with rain -new beginning for creation (Days when the Church is revealed, the body of Christ) and the Lots (Abrahamic) when Gods people got out (Abraham, lot as in the Church) before fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all will be when the sun of man is revealed.
