SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:28
Asimismo tambin como fue en los días de Lot; comían, bebían, compraban, vendían, plantaban, edificaban;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot , etc.] When he lived in Sodom, and before, and at the time of the destruction of that city with other neighbouring ones: they did eat, they drank ; (see Gill on Luke 17:27), and ( Ezekiel 16:49). This is to be understood of the inhabitants of Sodom, and the other cities that perished with it: they bought, they sold : they traded among themselves, and with their neighbours; and, as it appears from the text referred to, they had no regard to the poor and needy; they made no conscience of defrauding and oppressing them: they planted ; vineyards, and fruit trees; living in a very fruitful soil, like the garden of God, ( Genesis 13:10) they builded ; houses for themselves and posterity; and thus, as a Jewish writer observes of them, in agreement with our Lord's design in all this, being filled with the increase of the earth, they lived in security, peace, and tranquillity.
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 __________________________________________________________________
