If I understand these verses correctly, rapture will not happen on a Jewish feast day, including the sabbath day.. Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Men are on the field, women are grinding at the mill. It speaks of them working on a regular day while rapture happens. Jews are forbidden to work during their feasts day and sabbath. My take is rapture shall happen on a normal day, other than Saturday and the feast days. And I am not disappointed because I am still waiting for a middle east war to erupt and the three shepherds jump on Israel.. Thanks, 2ndComing. Have you ever heard people argue that this passage refers to taking unbelievers and leaving the believing survivors at the end of the Tribulation, i.e., that the "taken" and "left" refer back to Matthew 24:29-31, and not to the Rapture? Your thoughts about possibilities...? MyWhiteStone, I have heard that argument before. But I always believe that those verses are the rapture verses. When we go back to the previous verses, people are eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. It can't speak of the end of tribulation while horrific events are going on. The only logical reason is those days represent pre-tribulation while business as usual. Men are on the field. They are harvesting the wheat. Women are grinding at the mill. They are grinding the wheat, and baking the flour at the mill. It speaks of rapture should happen in summer, or late spring. When someone asks if I am disappointed that the Rapture hasn't happened yet, I could respond by saying: Ask me after the Rapture if I'm still here!
