<p>17:34 <i>I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. One shall be taken, and the other shall be left</i>- Not only is the city of Sodom representative of the world of the last days, but Lot's calling out of Sodom by the Angels is typical of our being 'taken' by Angels to meet the Lord.<br />In that day, &quot;One will be taken,&nbsp;whilst the other will be left behind&quot; Lk. 17:34. The Greek for &quot;taken&quot; is the same as in Jn. 14:3- the Lord comes again to <i>take</i> us to be with Him. Seeing this passage also speaks of the second coming, it seems to fit more logically that the faithful are taken away; and the rejected 'left behind&quot;. The Greek word for &quot;left&quot; really has the idea 'sent away'. Whilst it's not the same Greek word, it is the same <i>idea</i> as in several pictures of the judgment- the rejected are 'sent away'; the idea of being 'left sitting' doesn't seem to be there. So in the very moment of the Lord's return, the essential division is made; the faithful are taken, whilst the rejected are &quot;left&quot;, but their being &quot;left behind&quot; is actually their condemnation, their being sent away from the Lord.</p>
