Noah was shielded on the ark, on the earth. While the rest of them were "taken away"
There were people living normal lives right up until the end.
Revelation 5:6 tells us that up to the time of the 3rd seal there will be some living in luxury on the earth.
Pretrib is easily refuted
I can't believe anyone could twist this verse to support a pre-trib positon. It says the opposite.
Mathew 24
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Did you miss "before the flood"? It was not bolded...hmmm
As I stated before noah was not removed or taken anywhere AFTER the flood.
You are saying,in a post trib rapture model,that as noah "went through the flood and was removed AFTER the flood,so shall we be removed
After the judgement/wrath.
Nope....nothing of the sort.
In fact noah was taken over a mile into the sky ABOVE THE EARTH. DURING THE WRATH.
BUT....another component in that same mix of test fitting a postrib rapture model is that the ac is commissioned to murder saints. He is quite proficient at at. The bible says all earths inhabitants take the mark or die....so another obstacle for ANYTHING but a pretrib rapture.
Ark is a "type" of heaven.
"Took them away" could be applied to either noah and fam,or the earths inhabitants.
But one thing about it,the inlaws perished. So,some were taken and some left in the family.
Interesting that pretrib rapture is the only position incorporating the 10 virgin parable. 1/2 went to the marriage...the rest stayed behind
Pretrib rapture is The only position harmonizing with noah returning back to earth after the wrath to begin a new kingdom.(postribs painted themselves into a corner saying Noah never left)
BTW both sides say Jesus returns WITH THE SAINTS.
Noah in no way was delivered or taken anywhere AFTER the flood.
The Noah dynamic is vivid pretrib rapture.
