"For Steve Mullin One
Taken Other Left Question"
Steve wrote in his post:
___________________________
...coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women
shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the
other left. Matthew 24:36-41
The fact that there will be two in the field and one taken as
well as two grinding at the mill with one taken seems to
contradict the fact that there's some period of time between the
shout that the bridegroom is coming and the snatching away. If
there was a shout and then some period of time, I'd think the
workers in the field or the grinders at the mill would at least
drop what they were doing in anticipation of the rapture, so I'm
not sure how to reconcile those two points. And they don't "go
out" to meet him anywhere, they are just doing their jobs. Do
the workers not hear the shout that the bridegroom is coming?

How timely your post is dear Steve! I just uploaded a video
series that will explain your dilemma and answer this very
question that you are asking here. I have given a link above to
the part of the video (part 4) that addresses this specific
portion of the issue, the "one taken and the other left" part,
but it will be easy to find the rest of the video (one video cut
into 6 parts) at my channel ghostownaproach and by going to the
beginning if you like after part 4 you will see how the whole of
Matthew has been used in a way that understandably leads to
confusion that is quickly cleared up when this very important
aspect of Matthew's gospel (and all four gospels) is brought to
light. Thank you for asking this now!
