On that note, taking Joys1's comment and to scripture it refers to: "there shall be two men in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left", this also makes full sense spiritually, not literally.

isn't that what's happening right now, today? You work in an office. One (or more) of the workers get total TDS and must vax, must embrace trans, there is no gender, I'm non-binary, etc, and another is like, Q, look at how satanic the globalist elite are, the uber-powerful families that have ruled the world from behind the scenes, God is critical, the war is a spiritual war, etc.

Those who fall under the delusions of the Marxist, woke, globalist agenda are literally being dragged in to a spiritual and mental hell, while those who are waking up are finding greater and greater internal liberation and feel themselves drawn closer and closer to God.

It's the nature of the times in God's timeline: The middle ground is less and less an option, and 'one is taken' to God, and the other is left in the deepening and more hellish realm of satanic delusions (and materialism, etc).

Two thousand years ago, many of our forebears really did not have the logical frame and the intellectual frame to understand "rising up in Christ" refers to rising spiritually in Christ, rather than somehow floating up in to the air (where they might get hit by aircraft? how high? Troposphere? Stratosphere? Another magical dimension?)

But grasping a much more profound and indeed logical grasp of the scripture and the truth it tells us is more available to us today than ever before. Mature faith is faith with understanding.

I've probably blabbed way too much, but thankfully, your appreciation has helped drive the crap out of me!
