Hartono, Also, many think it has to do with the rapture, but the context tells us what it means. `But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of man be. The two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.....` (Matt. 24: 36 - 40) The situation here is that one man will be taken away, as those who were in the flood were taken away. The man will eventually face judgment at the Great white Throne. (Rev. 20:11 - 15) The man that is left will go into the millennium as he would have looked after the Jewish persecuted brethren. (Matt. 25: 31 - 40) Marilyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taken one will be to the cloud : 1 Thes 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Hi R. Hartono, The context is when the Lord comes `so will the coming of the Son of Man be.` (Matt. 24: 39) Jesus did not reveal about the Body of Christ till He told the Apostle Paul, many years later. It was a mystery not known even by the Old testament Prophets. (Eph. 3: 1 - 7) Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know it already now by Paul's writing that the taken one is here : 1 Thes 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Hi RH, You have not proven by scripture that the two are the same. You have just assumed that. Matt. 24 scripture is to Israel, while the 1 Thess. 4 is to the Body of Christ. Now that is basic teaching there bro, - who is talking to whom. You seem to think it is all about us. So do you read a newspaper as all about you? No, of course not. Well then we do not read God`s word as all about us. God`s word is to reveal Christ to us and His purposes for the 3 groups - the Body of Christ, for Israel and for the nations/ Marilyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those "left behind" were the RIGHTEOUS. Yet you would have me to believe that the next verse He completely REVERSES His own example and suddenly those left behind are the unrighteous being judged unworthy of His rescue and those taken are the righteous? I think those who expect a pre-trib rapture based on such a 180 degree interpretation are in for a MAJOR surprise.......there IS no rapture pictured there...never has been and it's getting very late to perceive that...not a lot of time left. There IS NO CONNECTION between the two passages...and both are misunderstood if you force one on them. Quote Mat 24:37-42 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. The Word is clear. Read it for what it says, not for what makes it fit your pet idea. There is NO way He didn't understand what He meant to say there. Those taken from field and mill are JUDGED...NOT RESCUED Edited March 18, 2019 by Jostler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
