Matthew24:40
Then shall two be in the field, etc. The calamity shall come suddenly. There shall be no escape for those whom it overtakes.
One shall be taken. The word taken may mean, either to be taken away from the danger, i.e. rescued, as Lot was, Lk 17:28,29 or to be taken away by death. Probably the latter is the meaning.
