Myth—Everybody Gets To Go
Rapture Statement Contains A 50% Factor!
Before Jesus presented his 50% factor with wise and foolish virgins;
the profitable servant criteria; and, the nation selection process shown in Matthew 25, he preceded it with a “Days of Noah” and “Rapture 50% Factor” in Matthew 24. Thus, when Jesus used the word “THEN” in Matthew 25:1, he was referring to the criteria being applied to the situation
stated in Matthew 24. It describes how society will be when Jesus returns.
“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:37-39
Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8
Only eight people survived the flood. Jesus reminds us that the people had no clue. “They did not know” until it was too late to do anything about it. The days of Noah were apostate times and society was debased just like it is today. Even so-called Christians advocate for abortion rights and
the right of homosexual marriage. These are debased times just like Noah’s time. When Christ comes back will your light be shinning? I hope so. If not, Jesus makes it clear that one will be taken from the field and the other left. Literally 50% will be lifted off the planet in the “rapture” and the other
50% left on the earth to pay the price of their unrighteousness and sin.
50% Raptured Off Earth!
“Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not
know what hour your Lord is coming.” Matthew 24:40-42
