… in the twinkling of an eye. Jesus said two will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left. Two are grinding at a mill, one is taken and the other left. Two are laying in a bed, one is taken and the other left. So here's how it goes. Here we are in the world being salt, stopping the spread of evil, keeping the lid on things in a way. And suddenly the Lord calls millions of people who put their faith in Christ to heaven. That is going to allow the spread of evil to happen quickly. And the Antichrist emerges on the scene and the great tribulation period begins. And you see how that could all break out quickly with the removal of the church. Well, salt not only stops evil from spreading, but it stimulates thirst, doesn't it? When something's salty, you want water. You go to the movie and you order popcorn. And by the way, why are there no longer milk duds in movie theaters? …

Signs Of The Times
Robert Jeffress, 2026-09-24

… of the son of man, verses 35 and 36, there will be two women grinding at the same place. One will be taken and the other will be left. Two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left. Somebody said, oh, well, there's the rapture. One is taken away to heaven and one is left. No, the one who is taken is taken into judgment. The other who is left, this is the second coming, is left to enter into the kingdom of God. So I don't see that there. Well, over in Matthew 24, 39, Jesus said the same thing. He said, for as it was in the days of Noah, it will be when the son of man returns for they were eating, drinking, and making merry until the flood came and took them all away. So shall it be. Two men shall be in the field, one shall be taken, the other left. Two in a bed, one shall be taken. The people who are taken are taken into judgment. Just as the flood came, same word, and took them all away. …

The Coming Of The King – Part 3
Jack Hibbs, 2026-06-03

… and I think you'll see it the one will be taken and the other one left. Two women will be grinding together. One will be taken. The other one will be left. Two men will be in the field. The one will be taken and the other left. Everybody listen. Don't be quick to answer. Listen. And they answered. The disciples. Read it later. The disciples answered and said to Jesus, what's the question? Say it again. Where? Where what? What are they asking? Where, Lord? Where? Where? Where what? Yes, where are they taken? Nobody asks the question, where do they stay? Oh, where do they stay? They ask, where? Where are they taken? There's no other way to interpret this. and he said to them wherever the body is go look that word up guess what the word is it's carcass that word is rotting decaying stinking flesh you say why are you making such a big deal of this because people who believe in a post-tribulation rapture say that this is the rapture and the church is being called a rotting stinking dead corpse since when? …

Jesus is Returning I Jentezen Franklin
Jentezen Franklin, 2026-04-13

… Two women will be grinding in the mill, and there will be one taken and one left. Two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left. And they answered and said unto him, where, Lord? And he said, wherever the body is there, the eagles shall be gathered together. You see, when that moment comes, when that trumpet sounds, when Jesus' shout goes out to his bride, suddenly, instantly, in the moment, in the twinkling of an eye, it'll happen so fast. And he said that it may be in different time zones. That's why he gives the analogies that he gives. One was at nighttime and people were asleep in a bed. The other was at sunrise because sometimes it may be midnight in one place in the world, but it's sunrise in the other and they're working in the field and they're working at the company and they're putting out production. And he said, one will be taken and one will be left. …

1 Thessalonians 5
Skip Heitzig, 2026-04-08

… Jesus speaking, and it's all about the day of the Lord. He says, then two men will be in the field. One will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill. One will be taken, the other left. Watch, therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, same imagery, same metaphors as Paul just wrote about, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect him. the day of the Lord mentioned 19 times in the Old Testament four times in the New Testament a period of time when God acts dramatically and directly with the affairs of humanity on earth that's probably the best description of the day of the Lord when God acts directly and dramatically in the affairs of humans on the earth, typically in terms of judgment. …

Rethinking Church
Francis Chan, 2018-11-21

… So will be the coming of the Son of Man. The two men will be in the field. One will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill. One will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you did not expect. Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has set over his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, my master is delayed and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. …
