"LEFT BEHIND" or "TAKEN"Are those "taken" in Matthew 24:40-41, the "two in field" and "two women grinding" part of the erroneous doctrine known as "Pre-Trib RAPTURE of the church?"Those "taken" represent the people deceived by Antichrist, those who are "left" are those NOT DECEIVED by Antichrist.Let's look first at Matthew 24:37-39 which helps set the context better. Christ is telling us that the time of HIS return, the "season" not the day, will be as the days of Noe (Noah). Remember what happened in the time of Noah? Genesis 6:2 tells us "sons of GOD" aka rogue ANGELS, Nephilim, the "Fallen Angels" who left their habitation in Heavenly dimension, and refused to be born of women (see book of Jude), saw the daughters of men, took them as wives, then in verse 6 we see the offspring of the unatural union were giants.So because of this influx of Fallen Angels having sex with women against the will and Plan of God, God told Noah to build the Ark, because he would send a Flood to cleanse the land and only Noah and those animals and people he took on Ark would be saved. All the offspring of Fallen Angels, the "giants" of Genesis 6 would be wiped out to keep them from perverting the bloodline from which Christ Jesus would be born. Satan used this method to try to prevent Christ Jesus from being a "perfect sacrifice for our sins."So keeping that in mind, back to Matthew 24:37-39, Christ is telling us the Tribulation will be just as in days of Noah, except this time the Fallen Angels, Nephilim, spoken of in Rev 9, released from the pit or abyss, will return to do the same as they did before, but this time it will be through a "Flood of lies," the spiritual deception, they will attempt to impregnate the minds with their Religious deception! That is why the "SEALS" in Revelation are opened PRIOR to the Tribulation. They contain knowledge from GOD to "seal" the minds so they will not be "raptured" by the "false messiah" who comes at 6th Trumpet.Remember, Christ Jesus doesn't return until the 7th Trumpet sounds, and the Trumpets sound in order 👍Now continuing on with Matthew 24:40-41, Christ tells us of the "two in field" and "two grinding," and one is taken and one left. Christ having previously set the context by reminding us of the days of Noe/Noah, then you see that the one taken is not taken in the RAPTURE by Christ Jesus, but rather taken, swept away, by that "Flood of lies" the Fallen Angels and Satan bring during the Great Tribulation, aka Tribulation of Antichrist.As we continue to read, notice Matthew 24:44-46, Christ further explains that when He returns, the "faithful and wise servant" is the one remaining doing His work. Verse 45, the "meat" is the meat of the Word of GOD. Christ is the "Lord" or the "household," so we see them in verse 46, "BLESSED is that servant (Christians) whom his lord (Christ Jesus) when he cometh shall find so doing.Doing what? Preaching the Truth against Satan and his Fallen Angels. Providing that "meat" in due season for God's People. Another place to cross reference is in Luke 17:26-37, lay it next to the above Matthew 24 verses, you will see "two women grinding" , "two men in beds," also "two men in field" as a second witness in scripture to the message Christ Jesus was teaching.Except this time, Christ Jesus tells us in Luke 17:37 when asked where those who were "taken" went. "And He said, wheresoever the body (carcass) is, thither will the eagles (vultures) be gathered together."Those "taken" from field, bed, etc...in these chapters/verses are likened by Christ as a dead body. Why? They have been deceived by Antichrist, who's name is also Death.Therefore, Christ taught that He expects His servants to be here working in the field; Those who are not and were "taken" were not Raptured by Christ Jesus, but deceived by Antichrist and are likened to dead bodies, spiritually dead, minds impregnated by those Fallen Angels & Satan from abyss of Rev 9. May this TRUTH find you AWAKE & not sleeping, in YAHSHUA Christ Jesus name!#shepherdschapel #christianity #biblestudy #LivingWord #rapturedoctrine #raptureofthechurch
