Could Matt 24:40 be talking about Christians? Both men are in the field.. both working... one is taken the other left. how do you tell the difference between the one who is taken and the one who is left?

[Jdsimone05]

I'm unsure about Tony's belief on the rapture. I noticed that he mentions Augustine and the other philosophers never speaking about the subject, but what about Jesus? Jesus does say in Matt. 24:40: "Two men will be in the field. One will be taken, the other will be left..." I always thought the ones that will be taken would be the saved people, but in Matt. 24:40 is Jesus referring to "children of iniquity" as the ones that will be taken?

Wow!  I need to re-read my Bible!

3. It's not true that the rapture was "invented" by Darby. Please read W.E.B.'s classic "Jesus is Coming" to refresh your memory.

There are other things to mention, but those three came to mind at the moment.

2. "Tares" - are not *apparent* evil in this world, but exactly an IMIATATION of the true wheat. There is a mistake in Tony's interpretation there.

1. I'm a missionary to Brazil. These "thousands of Brazilians going to pentecostal churches", unfortunately, are most of them attending false pseudo-Christian churches that are preaching "another gospel" (prosperity, etc.), not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes our job, as true witnesses to salvation in Jesus Christ, that much harder.

Lots of things were said in this video, but everything has to be analyzed *by the Bible*, as you said! Here are a few discrepancies that came to my mind at the moment:

It doesn't matter what you are doing when Jesus comes, it is what you did before He comes.

[MJMyrna]

Oh, don't stop now! It was getting so interesting! Some weeks maybe you could post two videos... I wish I didn't have to wait a week to hear more.

[TakumaMimura]

The church will MARCH out of history TRIUMPHANTLY.

Amen Tony, and praise Jesus for that.
