Mateus 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.

Mateus 24:40 In-Context

39 e não o perceberam, até que veio o dilúvio, e os levou a todos; assim será também a vinda do Filho do homem.

40 Então, estando dois homens no campo, será levado um e deixado outro;

41 estando duas mulheres a trabalhar no moinho, será levada uma e deixada a outra.

42 Vigiai, pois, porque não sabeis em que dia vem o vosso Senhor;
