(Luke 17:36-37 KJV) "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {37} And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."

Left Behind

There are new fiction books being read and movies being seen by thousands of people that are based on a theoretical doctrine that could be called "Left Behind." According to it, the Saints will be taken, suddenly disappear, vanish in an any moment secret pre-tribulation rapture just before the Great Tribulation, and those left behind will have to go through that horrible and troubled time.

Assumptions

Believe it or not those assumptions are contrary to what the Bible reveals. By the way, before the Lord raptures His Church, He alerts the world in His coming. ¹ He is not going to take His Saints out in a haphazardly way, leaving cars and planes crashing without drivers and pilots. When He descends (1 Th 4:16-17), He will come with clouds and every eye will see Him (Rev 1:7). It is interesting how the guys who hold to the contrary belief try to teach something that the Bible really does not show. I did not see the truth for the longest and could not figure out "one shall be taken, and the other left" until God's Holy Spirit led me to the right passages. It took a lot cleansing by the word of God to rid the error that was so embedded in my mind and heart. Please examine the following passages that are from two books of the N.T. to maybe see the truth and argue with them, not me.
