AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 17:34 "I tell you, on that night [when Messiah comes again] there will be two [sleeping] in one bed; the one (the non-believer) will be taken [away in judgment] and the other (the believer) will be left. |
Bible Question: I wonder why in the Amplified Bible it has "two men"? But that made me ask this question also, is it saying that if a homosexual has not repented will they be taken to heaven since everbody in Noah's day were eating, drinking up till the time the flood came? |
Bible Answer: "and did not know until the flood came" New King James Version Matthew 24:39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 24:40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Matthew 24:40,41 '"one will be taken." I.e., taken in judgment (compare v.39) just as in Noah's day ("took them"; v. 39). This is clearly not a reference to the catching away of believers described in 1 Thess. 4:16,17.' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) 'The observation that the people of Noah's day knew not the severity and suddenness of the coming destruction indicates that this last generation will be totally unprepared for the coming of the Son of man, the return of Christ to judge the world. The reference to two being in the field or at work at the time of Christ's return implies the suddenness of His coming to separate the lost and the saved.' (The King James Study Bible, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1988) 'Christ's second coming will be swift and sudden. There will be no opportunity for last-minute repentance or bargaining. The choice we have already made will determine our eternal destiny.' (Life Application Study Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, 1996) |
