1 | is the rapture time soon? | Matt 24:36 | Simchat Torah | 53051 | ||
Shalom; If one wishes to call the "one will be taken" found in Matthew 24:40 as the "rapture", then you DO NOT want to be a part of the rapture. Read Matthew 24:36-42. This passage is saying that JUST AS in the days of Noah, one will be "taken" and the other "left". The context of the passage is clear, the one "taken" (in the days of Noah) is the one who was "taken" away by the flood (verse 39). The only ones "left" were Noah and his family. Also, when the Son of Man comes, one will be taken (literally killed as seen in the pouring out of the wrath in Revelation just as it was in the days of Noah). In summary, the wicked are "taken", the righteous are "left". Shalom, Simchat Torah |

2 | is the rapture time soon? | Matt 24:36 | Hank | 53083 | ||
Simchat Torah -- I believe that the context of the Matthew 24 verses point to the judgment of Christ's return and not the rapture of believers that is discussed in 1 Thess. 4:13-18. In the Matthew passage, it is as you say, the wicked who are taken and the righteous who are left. But in the 1 Thessalonians passage, it is the righteous who will be taken: the dead in Christ will rise first, then the living will join them to meet the Lord in the air. --Hank | ||||||

Shalom Hank - Thank you for your response. The reason for my post was concerning Mat 24 only. Many use this passage to support the rapture theory which cannot be the case. Simchat Torah |
