Matthew 24:36-44
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
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.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Judgement happened the SAME DAY as Noah went up into the boat. Judgement happened the SAME DAY as LOT went out of Sodom.
Same goes for the Rapture. God always protects those who are His from Judgement. Always!
Both examples are of the final remnant before total annihilation, correct? When Jesus comes back to wipe out the nations surrounding Israel, then the dead are raised and the believers sealed by God are taken up to Him. Every single person who has the mark of the beast will be killed. Most by Satan himself.
