"So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, Matthew 13:49 (NASB)

Wait! That's not the way the Rapture is supposed to happen!!! :shocked!
Uh-Oh! There's more!

"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left."Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Matthew 24:37-41 (NASB)

The coming of the Son of Man at the end of the age takes the wicked and leaves the righteous???

WHAT?!?!? :shocked!:shocked!:shocked!

You know, there is only one "end of the age" and only one set of circumstances that fulfills Christ's words to perfection. Can you guess what it is? :chin
 
It looks like you are misunderstanding the passage in Matthew. It is saying that we will not know when the end of the world will be until it is actually happening.
 
"So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, Matthew 13:49 (NASB)
This means the separation of the saints from the wicked before we're taken up. Kinda like when all believers will be marked with the seal of God by the angels so when the call is made we will rise before the wicked. In laymens terms. But it doesn't mean they go before us. No way, jose!
 
Matthew 13:39-40. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

This is actually at the end of the millennium subsequent to the "Great White Throne Judgment" of Revelation 20:11. The following verses occur prior to the Millennium.

Matthew 24:39. "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Gene Hawkins Prophesy Study of Matthew 24:39 said:
They didn't wake up and smell the coffee until the judgments began to fall on them and you can underline this next part as it's going to be a key here. They "Knew not until the flood came, and took them all away." It didn't take them all away into heaven and we're going to get into a verse down here that is misinterpreted throughout Christendom because they assume that the taking away down here means these ones are taken away to heaven and they were not. There is never any indication that anyone was taken away to heaven in the days of Noah; they were taken away in judgment and that's what this means that the flood came and took them all away.

Mathew 24:40-41. "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"
Gene Hawkins Prophesy Study of Matthew 24:40-41 said:
Notice once again the little word "Then," pointing down to the particular time that He is talking about. But back to our verse, I've heard this all my life; see there, two are there in the field; one is taken to heaven and the other left here on the earth, but that is not the teaching here. In the previous verse we read that they "Knew not until the flood came, and took them all away" and that flood did not take them all away to heaven, it took them away to judgment. You see, the one taken away is actually taken in death, and the other is the one that remains alive upon the earth. That same pattern prevails in our next verse. 41 "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left" and again it means taken in judgment, because the one that is left here is to endure as it were until the end when they are going to be saved.

Fortunately Jesus mistake has been addressed and corrected Cy has it all figured out;

13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.





The gathering of the tares into bundles for burning does not imply immediate judgment. At the end of this age ( Matthew 13:40 ) the tares are set apart for burning, but first the wheat is gathered into the barn. ; John 14:3 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 .


SRB p 1016


So who ya gonna believe, a simple carpenter or a bonafied prophecy expert ?
 
Even if I don't understand everything God has in His Word (the Bible), I can take comfort in the fact that I am His and He is mine.
