I clearly explained my point, that is what happen, the wicked were swept away, there is no disputing this at all. What Jesus is referencing is the flood, where the wicked are swept away, then Jesus say, "just like this so will be the coming of the Son of man. Two will be in the field, one taken one left...." Now you tell me what justifies the flip of who goes and who stays. This is just what the text says. With all due respect, you have to add to His word to get what you're talking about out of these word. I mean I don't understand how these facts can be argued. I get what you're saying they mean, My question to you is, "what in the text leads you to believe that it's the righteous removed and the wicked that stay?" I know you've always been told that, taught that, shown this from your most respected teachers around, I have too, but it's my position now that's is not what it says, and I'd like to understand "why" you do, please sir.
Yes the wicked are swept away.
But you are oblivious that the boat HAD TO float BEFORE the people were "swept away" off HIGHER GROUND.
SO WHO LEFT FIRST?
BOTH WERE SWEPT AWAY.
Look, the boat did not sit there under water while the people stayed on the lowest ground.
The boat moved(floated) before those on hills and mountains perished.
Both were "swept away"
There is no "wicked taken first"
Besides you would have to argue that anyone saying that would need "one taken(wicked) and one left (righteous) it the start of the gt. (B 4 the flood)
You have no wicked taken AFTER the flood.
No righteous taken or left AFTER the flood. You do have the righteous returning from the heavens back to earth.....yep I agree.
Left at the start,boat floated first,and RETURNED post flood/trib.
None of that plays out as a picture of a postrib rapture when test fitted.
Now test fit pretrib rapture.
Fits like a glove
