In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is teaching his disciples about the end times, drawing parallels to the sudden judgments in the stories of Noah's flood and the destruction of Sodom to illustrate that his return will come unexpectedly while people are living ordinary lives. This passage occurs during Jesus' ministry in the first century AD, emphasizing the need for readiness amid normal daily routines. The term "Son of man" is a title Jesus used for himself, rooted in Old Testament prophecies, to highlight his divine authority and role in judgment.
