Fields were central to daily life, and laborers often worked side by side. The imagery of two men in the field suggests normalcy and routine, emphasizing that the events described will occur during everyday activities. This setting is reminiscent of the parables of Jesus, where He often used familiar agricultural imagery to convey spiritual truths (e.g., <a href="/matthew/13-3.htm">Matthew 13:3-9</a>, the Parable of the Sower).<p><b>the one shall be taken,</b><br>The phrase "the one shall be taken" has been interpreted in various ways. Some see it as a reference to the rapture, where believers are taken to be with Christ, as described in <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-16.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:16-17</a>. Others interpret it as a form of divine judgment, where the one taken is removed for punishment, similar to the separation of the wheat and tares in <a href="/matthew/13-30.htm">Matthew 13:30</a>. The idea of being "taken" can also be linked to the suddenness of God's intervention, as seen in the days of Noah (<a href="/luke/17-26.htm">Luke 17:26-27</a>), where people were taken by surprise by the flood.<p><b>and the other left.</b><br>The phrase "and the other left" suggests a separation or division, which is a common theme in eschatological passages. This separation can be seen as a fulfillment of prophecy, where God distinguishes between the righteous and the unrighteous. It echoes the imagery of the sheep and goats in <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>, where individuals are separated based on their relationship with Christ. The concept of being "left" can also imply a time of tribulation or testing for those who remain, as seen in the warnings of Jesus about the end times (<a href="/matthew/24-21.htm">Matthew 24:21-22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/two_men.htm">Two Men</a></b><br>This refers to individuals engaged in their daily work, symbolizing the normalcy of life when the event occurs.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_field.htm">The Field</a></b><br>Represents the world or the place of daily labor and routine, indicating that the event will happen in the midst of everyday life.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_event.htm">The Event</a></b><br>The sudden and selective taking away of one individual, often interpreted as a reference to the rapture or a divine selection process.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_suddenness_of_god's_timing.htm">The Suddenness of God's Timing</a></b><br>The event described in <a href="/luke/17-36.htm">Luke 17:36</a> emphasizes the unexpected nature of God's intervention in human history.

It was subsequently inserted in this place by copyists from <a href="/matthew/24-40.htm">Matthew 24:40</a> - a passage in which much of the imagery here used was repeated by the Master. In one important feature this discourse differs from that delivered at Jerusalem a little later, and reported at length by St. Matthew in his twenty-fourth chapter. There is no reference here (in St. Luke) to the siege of Jerusalem; the whole teaching is purely teleological, and deals exclusively with what will take place at the close of this age. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/17-36.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Two</span><br /><span class="grk">&#948;&#973;&#959;</span> <span class="translit">(dyo)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1417.htm">Strong's 1417: </a> </span><span class="str2">Two.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will be</span><br /><span class="grk">&#7956;&#963;&#959;&#957;&#964;&#945;&#953;</span> <span class="translit">(esontai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Future Indicative Middle - 3rd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1510.htm">Strong's 1510: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be, exist.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in</span><br /><span class="grk">&#7952;&#957;</span> <span class="translit">(en)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> </span><span class="str2">In, on, among.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the</span><br /><span class="grk">&#964;&#8183;</span> <span class="translit">(t&#333;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Dative Neuter Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">field;</span><br /><span class="grk">&#7936;&#947;&#961;&#8183;</span> <span class="translit">(agr&#333;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Dative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_68.htm">Strong's 68: </a> </span><span class="str2">A field, especially as bearing a crop;
