In Luke 17:30-37, Jesus shares a few glimpses of what it will be like when he returns to the earth a second time. He notes that if someone is working on the roof, they won't go down into the home to retrieve any personal belongings. Likewise, if someone is out in the field, they won't go back home to get anything.
When Jesus returns, we aren't going to say,"please let me grab my cell phone first or my i-Pad on the way out the door."
Jesus makes a reference to remember Lot's wife because she looked back at Sodom as it was being destroyed. She immediately turned to a pillar of salt.
The comparison to Lot's wife is important because she tried to upstage the direct commands from God about not looking back. Jesus exclaims,"Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it."
The fact that Lot's wife looked back could be an indication that she wasn't quite ready to leave the town (or that life) behind.
On the night Jesus returns, there will be two people in the bed and one will be taken and one will remain behind. Also, two women will be grinding grain and one will stay behind as the other is taken.
The people asked Jesus where and he replied,"where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." Any time you see a dead animal on the road, there are usually birds flying over top of it wanting to get lunch. This statement of the vultures gathering could be a sign that Jesus is preparing to return.
