Contextual Overview

20One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Boss's outfit get here?"Jesus said, "You won't be able to see it with your eyes. 21You won't be able to say, 'Ah, there it is!' or 'I found it. It's right here!' For the Boss's outfit is inside of you." 22Then he told his twelve cowboys, "There will come a day when you wish the Top Hand would come back, but you won't see it happen. 23There will be people saying, 'Look, over there! or, 'Here he is over here!' But don't believe those people. 24Just like lightning will light up the sky from horizon to horizon, so it will be when the Top Hand comes ridin' back on his horse. 25"But before all that, the Top Hand must suffer the humiliation and rejection of his own people. 26When the Top Hand returns, it will be like in the days of Noah. 27People paid no mind to God and only cared about eating and drinking and taking care of themselves. They were all still doing this when Noah entered his boat and sealed up the door. Then the flood came, and everyone else was destroyed. 28It'll be a repeat of the time of Lot. Everyone was just doing their own thing, not worried about anyone else besides their own sin and pleasure. 29They didn't even notice the day Lot left Sodom and fire and brimstone rained down and destroyed everyone.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as it was in the days of Noe,.... Whilst he was building the ark, and before he went into it; for this respects the days of Noah before the flood, and not after it; for he lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years, Genesis 9:28

so shall it be also in the days of the son of man; some time before, and at his coming in power, and great glory, to destroy the Jews, their nation, city, and temple; and as then, so it will be when he shall come in person, at the last day, to destroy the world: the times of Noah's flood, of Jerusalem's destruction, and of the end of the world, bear a great resemblance to each other: and when the son of man comes in either of these senses, then will the kingdom of God come; or then will it appear that the Messiah is come, and has took to himself his great power, and reigns.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
