1 | Who are the ones taken? | Matt 24:40 | Ken John | 55466 | ||
I believe that the believers will be taken up to meet Christ and non-believers will be left to face the consequences. The verse 37 clarifies this when it states, "As in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." Noah and his family were "lifted up" in the Ark so it will be with believers who will be "lifted up" to meet our Lord. Do you agree ? | ||||||
2 | Who are the ones taken? | Matt 24:40 | kalos | 55494 | ||
Ken John: I want to thank you for your post. Many other people also believe as you do, that those taken in this passage are believers. I offer the following for your consideration. Honestly, I will not be dogmatic about the answer to the question I asked. It would be a mistake for me to say that I have the one right answer. I don't claim to. What I post here is merely my understanding of it. But I welcome and appreciate your interpretation, as well. Grace to you, kalos ************* Who are the ones taken? (Question re-worded) Read Matt 24:36-44. Then answer this question: According to the PLAIN TEXT of this passage, who are the ones taken? I.e., are they unbelievers or believers? For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood THEY were eating and drinking, THEY were marrying and giving in marriage, THEY did not understand until the flood came and took THEM all away; Let me ask: In the days of Noah, before the flood: 1) WHO were eating and drinking (business as usual)? unbelievers or believers? 2) WHO were marrying and giving in marriage (business as usual)? unbelievers or believers? 3) WHO did not understand until the flood came? unbelievers or believers? (Is it likely that Noah, who had been warned and instructed of God, is the one who did not understand until the flood came?) 4) In light of your answers (based on the text) to the above 3 questions, WHO was taken away by the flood? unbelievers or believers? |
