The setting would be during or slightly after the resurrection on the last day (according to the time of the resurrection).
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:31 (KJV 1900)
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Matthew 24:40 (KJV 1900)
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17–18 (KJV 1900)
But what I was asking who are they. Which is which,which is The saved, and which is the lost ?
The Ones who are taken are the true followers of the LORD Jesus Christ.. The ones left are the ones who have believed in a false religion or who do not believe it God at all..
So the saved are caught up to meet Jesus in the air.. and the others are left to face the wrath of the Day of the LORD..
I've heard it both ways and both make sense. The one, only the wicked are taken and destroyed with the believers left VS the believers taken (Rapture) and the wicked left seems to make more sense to me now.
If that is true , And I know that it is not true, But why after HE comes and gets them dose he say ,in 24:28, For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. LOOk at 24:27-28
17:20–37 The Coming of the Kingdom. This account consists of two sections involving the “already now” (vv. 20–21) and the “not yet” (vv. 22–37) of the kingdom.

You don't know it's true.. You believe it is true from an interpretation of scripture you have heard or have derived from your own reading of scripture..
What don't YOU understand?
Do you rely on extra-biblical commentary to shape your beliefs? Those should only ever be rough guides and used sparingly.
We see that in Matthew 25:1 in the parable of the 10 virgins. Usually referred to as the bride. She has oil in her lamp and this is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. We are in the Holy Spirit dispensation. He is our Teacher and our Guide. Moses talks about this when he says: "grain, new wine and olive oil" (Deut 11:14) In the beginnng of His ministry He turned the water into wine.
NOT so , BUT I have beenin a Big study about it ,And learnt that it is not true, And JUST like the rapture is a big lie. It makes GODs word a lie , That is the reason I started this tread ,I want people to see what the BIBLE really says about them, AND not what I say but what the BIBLE says, Thus says the WORD of GOD,
It says nothing about a pre trib rapture. It shows a division between the good being taken, the bad left, or visa versa. With no mention of it happening any time before the end.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36 (KJV 1900)
If it is the supposed rapture, people would know the time of the end.
If you will put it in context,it would become clear.
Note Jesus shifts from post trib timing to "before the flood" or pretrib/prejudgement.
Re read it for yourself;
37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
38 For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark,
39 And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away—so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42 Watch therefore [[t]give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [[u]whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
"Before the flood"
One taken/one left
Watch because you know not when i come
Truly,everywhere,we see the pretrib rapture.
The taking of the bride
Nope
It says nothing of those left behind as being bad
They are not worthy as is depicted in mat 25
