SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:24

Porque como el rel�mpago, que resplandece de la regi�n de debajo del cielo, resplandece en lo que esta debajo del cielo, así tambi�n ser� el Hijo del hombre en su día.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 17:24

Verse 24. As the lightning, that lighteneth] See this particularly explained, Matt. xxiv. 27, 28.

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven , etc.] The Syriac version reads, �out of heaven�, and the Arabic version, �in heaven�; which is the seat of lightning, and from whence it arises: and shineth unto the other part under heaven ; enlightens the earth, which is under the heaven: though the sense of the words, as they lie in the original text, seems to be, that as the lightning lightens at one end of the heavens, and shines to the other; which is done at once, in a moment, in a twinkling of the eye, and to which agrees the Ethiopic version; so shall also the son of man be in his day : which is not to be understood of the swift progress of the Gospel, after his resurrection and ascension, and the pouring forth of his Spirit; but of his sudden coming, first to take vengeance on the Jewish nation for their rejection of him, and then at the last day, to judge both quick and dead. By his day, is meant his kingdom and glory, or his appearance with power, and great glory: Thus we read f535 for Solomon, wt[�b , �in his hour�, that is, in his glory, in the time of his kingdom, when he was in his greatest magnificence.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-37 - The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divin grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what stat the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Her is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man i revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roma armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as i here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judg the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in lik manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, an remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who ar marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

24. Lighteneth (astraptousa). Only here and ch. xxiv. 4.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

17:24 {Lighteneth} (astraptousa). An old and common verb, though only here and #24:4 in the N.T. The second coming will be sudden and universally visible. There are still some poor souls who are waiting in Jerusalem under the delusion that Jesus will come there and nowhere else.
