@Taken
As BOL correctly said..
Noah was left....the wicked were "taken away". It says so right here.
It is as clear as day.
Matt 24:
37 But as the days
of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For 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,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 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. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
The
bad seed is taken,
not the righteous.
Matt 13:24
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together
until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together
first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
The evil was "gathered first" the wheat remains,just as Noah did.
That old 'rapture spin' about Noah being 'lifted up' , is foolish..
All the other were already gone = " taken away" !
