I believe you misunderstood the message. It is at the end of the Tribulation period that those who are not saved are removed and those who are saved are left to enter into the kingdom. The Rapture will occur first and then the Tribulation will start. Since the Rapture is strictly a Pauline revelation (no other writer in the Bible mentions it) these passages of scripture in Matthew 24 could not possibly be talking about that event for it was yet a secret and part of the mystery program revealed to the Apostle Paul by direct revelation - See Eph. 3:3-6. The wicked will go through the tribulation period and those who make it to the end will be removed by the angels and taken to judgment - see Mat. 13:41. Thanks for posting your comment.

Perhaps some shall try to say the bad was removed from the Earth before the Tribulation. The thing is if the Bad was removed from the Earth before the Tribulation, Then who would be Left to Force everyone that is Left Behind to take the Mark! If you are Left Behind! Do not take the Mark as shared in Revelation 13:16-17, Revelation 14:9-11 and in Revelation 20:4 (lifteth up the meek: as Now, and when we Rapture) (he casteth the wicked down to the ground) as the Meek, are lifteth up(Rapture) Psalm 147:6 The LORD (lifteth up the meek) he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Notice the Door is open in Revelation 4:1, and Matthew 25:10 shares the Bridegroom(Jesus Christ) came, and those who were Ready(Wise)Lamps Lit, and filled with oil went in with him to the Marriage, and then the Door was shut. Almighty God rescued the Righteous (Noah, and his family! Lot, and his family) prior to his Judgment(Wrath)on those Left Behind! Just as us Saved Born Again(New Creatures)Rapture before the Tribulation(Wrath) One taken(Rapture)the other(Left Behind in Tribulation) Isaiah 26:20-21 (Rapture) Come,my people,enter thou into thy chambers,and shut thy doors about thee hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast. (Tribulation) For,behold,the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,the earth also shall disclose her blood,and shall no more cover her slain. http://www.raptureprophecy.com
