I believe the answer is yes.

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

This event shall happen in mid-trib. Jesus says that when Jerusalem is besieged by armies, those in Judea should flee to the mountains, and those outside the city should not enter the city. Their escape is very urgent. Jesus uses the following verse to describe how awkward they are during the escape.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

I have attached the original Greek verse.

https://biblehub.com/text/luke/21-23.htm

The original context of "that are with child" is "those in womb having" or simply pregnant women, while "to them that give suck" is "to the one nursing". These group of women while they are in escape, either they are pregnant, or they carry their infants with them. Jesus has omitted those children who are few years old. The reason is simple. The children are taken in rapture. Having said this, after the rapture, there is 3.5 years in the first half of tribulation. Women can still bear children during this time. But by the time mid-trib arrives, the oldest infants they can bear is no more than 2 years old. Some of them are pregnant too when mid-trib arrives. This is why Jesus has omitted the children who are three years or older while the escape takes place. If the children are not taken in rapture, Jesus should have included children in verse 23, but he did not. He only mentioned those still suck (infants) and the pregnant women.

Jeremiah 31 is a prophecy of God returning to earth, redeems Israel, and turns their mourning into joy. My focus is verse 15,

15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping, it is because the Israelis women shall be weeping like Rachel weeping for her children, because their children were not. "they were not", this wording has appeared in Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God, and "he was not"; for God took him. "they were not" in Rachel's weeping is the same as "he was not" when God took Enoch. The children of Israeli women are taken away by God in the event rapture. This is why they weep like Rachel weeping for her children, because "they were not".

Good news is God shall comfort them in verse 16.

16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

These women of Israel shall bear their children again.

I think the Lord considers under the age of accountability … 19 yrs and below …

 

Exodus 30:14

Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.

Numbers 14:19

Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.

I believe the accountability of age is much lower. We see slander, disobedience, rape, sex, drugs use, murder, not believing the truth, ..... among teenagers.

As far as in Noah’s day ... I lean towards ALL the children died in the flood and did not make heaven because they had beast DNA.

Genesis 6:4-9 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

The way I see it ... down thru the ages it always been just a small remnant of believers.  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.  “perfect in his generations” means his genes were not tampered with ... he was still fully 100% human.  He represented the head of his household ... so his wife and 3 sons and daughter-in-laws were still fully human as well.  And the Lord preserved the animals that would be included on the ark.  I’m sure angels were assigned the task of protecting them.  The demons couldn’t touch them.  Meanwhile I think the demons procreated with the other animals to have centaur, Egyptian Sphinx, etc. walking about because it says the Lord was sorry He made both man and beast.  He did not recognize them after the demons had their way with them.

Meanwhile today mad scientists have been mixing human DNA from the aborted babies with animal DNA and creating grotesque looking creatures.  Nothing new under the sun.  I’m  wondering if Gate’s vaccine is going to make those who take it morph into giants?  Will it cause them to grow?  Also will ALL the giants from centuries past and Nephilims also be at the Great White Throne Judgment?  That is going to be creepy to watch ... seeing Goliath and company ...

The whole concept of the giants bearing children ... makes me grateful I wasn’t an offspring of a giant!  Its better to have not have been born.

Just wondering your thoughts on this subject? :feedback
