What Does Luke 17:30 Mean?
Jesus closes the two histories with their point: as the flood and the fire broke into ordinary days, "even thus" will His own day break in. The word He chooses is "revealed" — unveiled — as though the Son of man already stands near, hidden only by a curtain soon to be drawn aside.
Christ is not far from His world; He is concealed from sight, awaiting the appointed disclosure. That changes how His people wait. We do not watch for a stranger's arrival but for the unveiling of a Lord we already know, love, and serve. Live now so that the lifting of the curtain will be the gladdest moment of your life rather than the most surprising.
Luke 17:30 in the Original Language
apokalypto (ἀποκαλύπτω), 'revealed' -- to unveil, to uncover what was hidden.
