Two men will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left. ‘Rapturists’ believe that this text from Matthew’s Gospel teaches the rapture. A closer look shows that you can only find this doctrine here when you isolate the verses and read the rapture into the text.

  1. Dear Fr. I am so glad you explained this so eloquently. I have always wondered why the Church does not believe in the rapture, as I have Protestant relatives who quote those two verses as evidence. Now I have the answer as to the “real, true” meaning found in Matthew. May Our Lord continue to bless you!

  3. Regarding Matthew 24 where it says “one will be taken and the other left” who is to say that it won’t be the wicked who are taken and the righteous who are left rather than the other way around? After all in the parable of the “wheat and tares” the wicked are taken first and burned and then the righteous are gathered up and put into the barn!

    • I believe it is prefaced with ” as in the days of Noah and the flood”, so one can only come to this conclusion!
