Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Same thing happened back in Lot's time, people were just living their normal lives, eating and drinking, buying and selling stuff, planting gardens, building houses.
Life was just going on like any other day before everything changed.
📚 Historical Context
In the Bible, the story of Lot is found in the book of Genesis, where God decided to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah due to their extreme wickedness and moral corruption. Jesus references this event in Luke 17 to illustrate how people will be living normally, focused on daily routines, just before a sudden divine judgment, much like the unexpected destruction that befell Sodom. This comparison emphasizes the suddenness of God's intervention in human affairs, drawing a parallel to the end times.
