Luke 17:23

The Coming of the Kingdom

22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.24For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
