@ Brother Philip praise God for your comment. If people would just take the time to read the verses.

Matthews 24

38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

[Who were eating and drinking? The unrighteousness!]

39. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[Verse 38 clearly identifies the subject as the unrighteous. Verse 39 continues with the main subject (the unrighteous) being taken away.

Here is the Basic English translation:

And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

- Basic English Bible

New International Version

and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

[Obviously Noah knew about the impending danger so it must be referring to the unrighteous being taken away.]

Finally re-examine Matthews 13, the good seeds and the rates.

Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

41 The Son of Man will send out His angels,

and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend,

[Gather out the bad]

and those who practice lawlessness,

42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

It's the unrighteous that are taken away.

God bless all of you!
