The Return of the Son of Man

Jesus:
You know, the time will come when you will long to see days like this again. And people will certainly try and conjure them up. They’ll run to you and say, ‘Look! Here’s the Son of Man. Back again!’ Or ‘There he is! Out doing some great work!’ Don’t believe them. The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be totally rejected. Then, when he finally does return, people will be eating and drinking, working and resting, playing games and going to church, living their lives like any normal day. Totally unsuspecting of what is to come. It will arrive with sudden force, just like the food in the days of Noah, or the fire that fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
