Hello Rayzor,
The "one taken" group is being compared to those who were taken in the flood, making the comparison wicked to wicked. Many interpret the "one taken" group as being the gathering of the church, which is false. It is in reference to when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age, where at which time the angels go out and "First" gather the wicked (Matthew 13:29).
"At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”
Weeds = wicked
Wheat = Surviving great tribulation saints
"I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”
37“Where, Lord?” they asked. (i.e. Where are they going to be taken?)
He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”
The last line regarding the vultures, is in reference to Revelation 19:17-18 where when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age, the angel calls all of the birds/vultures of air to come and gather themselves to the great supper of God, which is referring to those birds eating the flesh of the kings, generals, their armies and the "One taken" group who will be killed by the double-edged sword which proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
"And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
