Luke 17:30

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
28

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32

Remember Lot’s wife.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Gathering of Saints

The verse speaks of the Son of Man being revealed, which is a general statement about his coming, but it does not explicitly mention believers being gathered or caught up.

Two-Stage Return

The verse simply states that "it shall be in the day when the Son of man is revealed," referring to a single event of revelation without specifying or implying multiple stages or a distinction between a rapture and a visible return.
