Assumptions do not work well in Bible interpretation.

The context is the surrounding passages, not just who Jesus is talking to.

Besides, the disciples are Jews, in case you hadn’t noticed. Jesus was preaching the gospel of the kingdom. The new covenant was not yet in effect. At the time He was speaking to them, they were still under e old covenant.

Dear Metmom - It's possible that you're right in your interpretation - but I respectfully disagree.

One thing is certain: regardless of when Jesus raptures His church - the believers on earth will be caught up with Him.

Maranatha!
