RAPTURE OR DESTRUCTION (Mt. 24:40-42).
These Scriptures are some of misunderstood in Scripture to many people because they interpret them in connection with the rapture instead of the second advent. It is quite clear that the context that the rapture is not referred to at all in Mt. 24-25. Therefore, regardless of how much these verses sound like the rapture of the church they could not refer to that event. They refer to the literal coming of Christ to destroy the ungodly similar to the flood as is made clear by the use of the word "then." Then [at the coming of Christ with the saints to end wickedness as did the flood] shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left . . . Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
