Matthew 24:37-40
37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For 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, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Verse 37 sets up the comparison. verse 38 and 39 give two groups in Noah's time, verse 40 and 41 give two groups in some future time.
Same question; does Noah represent the one taken or the one left behind?
O.K. I understand your question now.You have misunderstood the passage you are quoting. It is not Noah who was "Eating and drinking" and "giving and taking in Marriage", but the people around him, on whom , God was going to bring judgment, they were "taken" by the flood and drowned. Read verse 38-39 again, Slowly.....
