<p>17:35 <i>There shall be two women grinding together at the mill; one shall be taken and the other shall be left</i>- The present tense is used here: &ldquo;One is taken, the other is left&rdquo;. Perhaps this was to heighten our sense that the essence of judgment is now; the call of the Gospel is a call to journey to judgment day. So much of the Lord&rsquo;s teaching sensitively gives examples including men, and then including women. He was so very far ahead of His time in being so gender inclusive.&nbsp;They were grinding using millstones, which are always used in the Bible as symbolic of condemnation. These people were working out their own condemnation. Perhaps the idea is that one the responsible would be taken away to destruction, the other not responsible to Divine judgment would be &ldquo;left&rdquo;.</p>
