Jesus says this to his followers after telling them what is will be like when he returns.
Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
That, however, day Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur gas from a sky and it demolished everyone.
This verse has one unique word for Jesus, meaning "sulfur gas, a word that he quotes from the Septuagint, the Greek version of the OT, Genesis 19:24. The "rained" refers to rain and moistening with water. It wasn't used in the verse about Noah, but it clearly connects the two verses. It comes before the "fire" and "sulfur" so it might have been a trick played on his listeners.
This was the fire next time, but it didn't take everyone.
