So you're saying these verses happen before the great tribulation?
Matthew 24:37-41
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.
Matthew 24:37-41
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.
This passage is speaking of the time-period immediately preceding and leading UP TO *that* ^ point (aka at His "RETURN" to the earth Rev19); thus, this ^ passage is depicting the years immediately preceding His "RETURN" to the earth (when "and DESTROYED THEM ALL" will be true, per Lk17:26,27,29 and context).<--This is NOT what takes place at [/following] "our Rapture" point-in-time (which is followed by "the man of sin" IN HIS TIME, doing ALL he is slated to DO *during the entire tribulation period* which immediately precedes and leads UP TO Christ's "RETURN" to the earth Rev19... See the difference?)
Again, Matt24:37-51 (and its PARALLEL in Lk12:36,37,38,40,42-44,45-48 "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding"; and also its parallel in Lk17:26,27,29 "and DESTROYED them ALL") is NOT speaking of "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" point-in-time... (it is NOT depicting "our Rapture," nor describing "our Rapture"--rather, those who will be existing in/during/within the "7 yrs" and who will "endure unto the end" OF THAT--to ENTER the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom in their MORTAL BODIES capable of reproducing/bearing children: "FILL [/FILLED] the [whole] EARTH" Dan2:35c / Gen9:1 / Matt24:37-51 and its parallels Lk12:36+ [and Lk17:26,27,29], etc etc...).
