Matthew 24:40-42 Is this speaking of rapture or second coming?

Just as in the days of Noah,,, who was taken? and who was left?

Noah's flood was literal,,, the coming flood will be a flood of lies, and deception.

38 For just as in the days that were before the flood they

were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,

until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all

away; so will also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then will two be in the field; the one is taken, and

the other left.

Glenda the 2 in the field and the 2 men in 1 bed is just 1 person that has heard his words the seeds of the sower...But satan has sowed another seed in HIS heart....Thus he becomes 2 ppl....The wheat and the tares make us 2 ppl spiritually speaking....But Jesus said the tare will be gathered in bundles and burned.....But the wheat into my barn his kingdom....Thats y Paul was saying with my mind i serve the law of God but with my flesh..( the tare ) the law of sin....When i wd do good evil ( the tare ) is present with me O Wretched man that i am....I see another law in my members ( the tare ) waring against me....If i do something i donot consent unto..( the tare ) it is no more I that does it but sin that dwells in y members.. the tare SATAN....Paul was involved in a war with satan b/c of the tare.....Thats the way salvation is,.. its a war with satan....Jesus had sowed a good seed in Paul, a kingdom seed but the devil wd not let it stand thus he sows a tare in Paul trying to destroy him....Same thing with the 2 woman grinding at the mill is just 1 woman....That is involved in war with satan the tare against the wheat....Jesus said to let them grow together till the time of harvest.....Then i will say to the reapers gather the tares in bundles and burn them....But gather the wheat into my barn..the Kingdom.....We war in the Spirit in hy places etc....John said he saw war in heaven impling in the spirit....We walk in the flesh but we war in the spirit...2 nd Cor. 10:3 kjv

Hi Glenda.

I concur with Brother Jesse, and I believe the previous verses verify that as well.

Matthew 24:37-39.

"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

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,

AND KNEW NOT UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME, AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

No one left but Noah and his family!

God bless.

Glenda,

People have wondered about this, and there are different views about two in the field, one is taken, one is left. Where does the one go that is taken? We know where the one that is left is, but what about the one that is taken? Some say it's taken into judgment. Some say it's for salvation, a person is taken saved. Some say it's one of these gatherings, the Lord gathering His people from the four corners of the earth.

But in Luke's account, Luke 17:37, it tells us that they are taken into judgment. They are drawn into the Valley of Megiddo for the battle of Armageddon. As you go through Revelation, you will see that God is the one that draws the people and the armies into the valley of Megiddo to fight against Him when He comes. So Luke 17:37 tells us that they are taken for judgment.
