Luke 17:32

Remember Lot’s wife.
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.

33

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34

I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

Counter-Arguments

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

Two-Stage Return

The verse is a direct command to remember a specific past event (Lot's wife looking back) and contains no language, explicit or implicit, that refers to future events, stages of return, or the timing of any such events.
