And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

This coming judgment is not the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus but rather the judgment of God of the living on this earth. They neither care nor perceive God. They dispise Him. They are in bed, they are at work, they are in their houses and in the fields. Warned by the Lord, they were to forsake all that pleases self, and to look on only for Him who came to judge. The world has refused and will be judged.
