Bible Question: I'm talking about the Amplified Bible version of Luke 17:34. When it says two men in one bed. Why does it sys bed? I thought that it might of been talking about that one of the men repented befor being taken. |
Bible Answer: Read also Matt 24:40. in that part of the world where it gets very hot from mid day onwards, work outdoors was only done in the morning. Two in a field therefore refers to the morning, Two grinding at the mill refers to indoor work because it was too hot to do work outdoors, and Two in a bed refers to night. What our Lord is saying in fact is that when He returns (which will be at one moment in time), that because of the shape of our earth, it will be morning in one place, afternoon in another place, and night somewhare else. I hope that this is of some help to you. |
