Thank you for your question.
"The “one taken and the other left,” in Matt 24:41,42
refers to a selective judgment like the one in days of
Noah. (Vs 37) Here, the evil ones that “Know not,” are
taken to judgment, and the good are left behind."
I have heard a preacher give a sermon on this subject, saying, "how wonderful it will be to be taken first". As you see - that is not a good thing.
The chapter is Jesus telling us about what happens in end times when Satan comes first. TAKEN is defined in Strong's #3880 - This definition is used ONLY in this verse and nowhere else in the Bible. The following is that description and related Strong's numbers:
To get hold of, seize, remove, opposed to, against,
contrary to, misreckon, delude, beguile, deceive,
paralyzaed or enfeebled, taken with (as palsy)
That doesn't sound like anything I want to be part of or that would be in God's plan for His children. It sounds like "taken" here is to be conned. So, as you have stated, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE RAPTURE, but is about the anti-christ taking you first when you should have waited for the true Christ, as He foretold us.
