In this Scripture, Jesus is announcing His Second Coming in all its glory to judge the Nations…note that it’s not a matter of if, but the emphatic word when that He uses. Again, in Luke 17:30 Jesus uses the words, “When the Son of Man is revealed” to show that His return will not only be unmistakable and visible to all but will also be sudden, without any opportunity for any last-minute repentance. When Jesus spoke these words, He wanted to clearly highlight His authority and power over all of creation as He triumphantly returned…not as just a preacher, teacher, or healer…but as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
