No, those who were eating and drinking , given in marriage and taken in marriage, in other words, the "Peoples" that Noah was preaching to in the Thirty or Forty years the Ark was being built, they were taken , "Swept away" by the flood. The passage you are quoting in Mt. 24, deals with judgment on the wicked. There will be two in the field, the one will be taken (as in judgment) If you read a little further on , it speaks of where the Carcass is, their the eagles(vultures) will be gathered. This refers to the Battle of Armageddon.

I'm beginning to think that you don't understand analogies. In your post #125 you seem to say that the ones "Eating and drinking" and "giving and taking in Marriage", are the ones taken. Now you are saying that they are left behind and Noah is taken. Which is it?

I disagree.

After the Rapture (which from the Greek is translated into Latin, and comes from the act of being caught up we see in Paul’s explanation to the Thessalonians) we find evidence for the Great Multitude in Heaven with the Sixth Seal in Revelation 7:9. After that, there is a period of silence (proving there are no cell phones in Heaven -a little levity for you there) which marries the silence Amos 8:3 describes with bodies being flung everywhere. Then there is the Wrath of God with the Seventh Seal.

The Seventh Seal reveals four trumpets, the first four act in thirds upon the Earth. The last three are woes. The text in Revelation 11 omits the third woe, but it is revealed later as the seven bowl judgments. Only after all this does our Lord go out with His host (the 144,000) to do battle.

P.S. There is no Armageddon mentioned in the Bible other than the one mention of it in Rev 16:16. Now there is a Har Magedon which would be the mountain by the plain of Megiddo in the hill country of Ephraim. This is an ancient battle field involved in Israel's battle for existence going back to the times of conquering the Promised Land. Whether this represents a scribal error or not, the name is more than a little of a consequence to dismiss.
