Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 24:40 In-Context

38 Car, dans les jours qui précédèrent le déluge, les hommes mangeaient et buvaient, se mariaient et mariaient leurs enfants, jusqu'au jour où Noé entra dans l'arche;

39 et ils ne se doutèrent de rien, jusqu'à ce que le déluge vînt et les emportât tous: il en sera de même à l'avènement du Fils de l'homme.

40 Alors, de deux hommes qui seront dans un champ, l'un sera pris et l'autre laissé;

41 de deux femmes qui moudront à la meule, l'une sera prise et l'autre laissée.

42 Veillez donc, puisque vous ne savez pas quel jour votre Seigneur viendra.
