40 Entonces estarán dos en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado

Mateo 24:40 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:40

Then shall two be in the field
About their proper business, of husbandry, ploughing, or sowing, or any other rural employment: the one shall be taken;
not by the preaching of the Gospel, into the kingdom of God, or Gospel dispensation; though such a distinction God makes, by the ministry of the word, accompanied by his Spirit and power; nor by angels, to meet Christ in the air, and to be introduced into his kingdom and glory; but by the eagles, the Roman army, and either killed or carried captive by them: and the other left;
not in a state of nature and unregeneracy, as many are, to whom the Gospel is preached; nor with devils at the last day, to be thrust down by them into the infernal regions; but by the Romans, being by some remarkable providence, or another, delivered out of their hands; which was the case of some few, and these of the meaner sort; and therefore persons of a rural life and occupation are instanced in.

Mateo 24:40 In-Context

38 Porque como eran en los días antes del diluvio, estaban comiendo y bebiendo, tomando mujeres los maridos y dándolas los padres, hasta el día que Noé entró en el arca

39 y no conocieron hasta que vino el diluvio y tomó a todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre

40 Entonces estarán dos en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado

41 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo a un molinillo; la una será tomada, y la otra será dejada

42 Velad pues, porque no sabéis a qué hora ha de venir vuestro Señor
