“Who’s Left Behind?”

Matthew 24: 39: “They did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.” In the flood, who got taken away? The wicked. Who was left behind? Noah and crew (the good guys). So why do some people think that when Jesus comes, it’s reversed: the blessed are taken, and the cursed are left? Jesus says it will be the same when He comes back as in Noah’s day; evil taken away, blessed get to stay. Some of our popular theology needs some serious realignment.
