COME INTO THE ARK

Though some biblical scholars believe that the following passage refers to the second coming of Christ at the end of the tribulation, it is instead a picture of what the world will be like when the rapture of the church takes place ... 

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the 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. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (Matthew 24:37-42)

The description fits the times we are currently experiencing. 

At the end of the tribulation period, there will be no normalcy whatsoever ... no eating and drinking and giving in marriage. The turmoil of that time will be unprecedented in its scope.

James Smith - As all who entered the Ark in the days of Noah were saved, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. The Lord said, "Come thou and all thy house into the Ark". Noah and his family obeyed the call; then "the Lord shut him in" - "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation". 

All who are in Christ shall be taken away before the judgment of God falls upon this disobedient and unbelieving generation.  

Let not your heart be troubled ...
