Video link of Pastor Esteban Borh: "one will be left and another taken".

Very strong explanation of Pastor Esteban Bohr and the farce of the secret
rapture.
so that Christians are not prepared for when the great tribulation comes and
think that the rapture will occur before this (great tribulation), which is not the
case, all who are alive must live that, but the mind must be prepared and
trained that with the help of God and Jesus Christ whatever the situation, he will
help us survive those difficult days, because as he says in Matthew 24:13 But
he who endures to the end will be saved. James 5:11 Look that we have
blessed those who suffered (persevered). They have heard of Job's patience
(firmness), and have seen the result of the Lord's behavior, that the Lord is very
compassionate and merciful.
Pastor Bohr begins focusing on the world before the flood, according to him, the
world was corrupted because the sons of God, with the daughters of men, that
is, the sons of Seth are the sons of God (righteous) and the The daughters of
men are the lineage of Cain (unfair).
Twice in Genesis 6 it is emphasized that it was due to this reason, that is, the
gullible never convert the unbelievers, but the unbelievers drag the believers
into disbelief, there is an occasional exception, but that is the general rule.

(On this point, he is the only one in which I disagree, personally I have another
vision that is complemented by some apocryphal books like Enoch's, for
example, where he speaks that the angels who took care of us (watchmen),
saw the women and felt attracted to them, and these angels or beings of
energy, as I have understood, became physical bodies, and had sexual
relations with women and for this reason the giants were born, who had the
earth destroyed, and corrupted by treating them as gods, and also destroying
the work of humans, corrupting the race to degenerating human and other
things having separated much from God, through witchcraft and stuff, except
Noah and his family.

Enoch Chapter 6 and 7.


Chapter 6
1 Thus it happened, that when in those days the sons of men multiplied, they
were born beautiful and beautiful daughters; 2 and the Watchers, sons of
heaven saw them and desired them, and said to one another: "Let us go and
choose women from among the daughters of men and beget sons." (Gen 6: 1-
4) 3 Then Shemihaza, who was his boss, told them: "I fear you do not want to
carry out this action and I am the only one responsible for a great sin." 4 But
they replied: "Let us all take an oath and let us all commit ourselves under a
anathema not to go back on this project until we actually execute it." 5 Then
they all swore together and committed themselves to each other, under
anathema. 6 And there were a total of two hundred who descended on the top
of the hill they called "Hermon", because they had sworn on it and had
committed each other under anathema. 7 These are the names of his bosses:
Shemihaza, who was the principal and in order in relation to him, Ar'taqof,
Rama'el, Kokab'el, -'el, Ra'ma'el, Dani'el, Zeq 'el, Baraq'el,' Asa'el, Harmoni,
Matra'el, 'Anan'el, Sato'el, Shamsi'el, Sahari'el, Tumi'el, Turi'el, Yomi'el, and
Yehadi' the. 8 These are the heads of ten.
Chapter 7
1 Everyone and their bosses took women for themselves and each one chose
among them and began to enter and contaminate with them, to teach them
witchcraft, magic and root cutting and to teach them about plants. 2 They
became pregnant with them and gave birth to giants about three thousand
cubits high who were born on earth and grew up according to their childhood; 3
and devoured the work of all the sons of men until humans could no longer
supply them. 4 Then the giants turned against humans to kill them and devour
them; (Ps 14: 4; Mi 3: 3) 5 And they began to sin against all the birds of the sky
and against all the beasts of the earth, against the reptiles and against the fish
of the sea, and they devoured each other's flesh and drank blood. (Jr 12: 4) 6
Then the earth accused the wicked for all that had been done in it. (Gen 6: 5-
11,13; Rev 12:16).

Actually for the subject of this study is only a detail, without relevance.

Following what Pastor Bohr speaks, he says: As a result of mixing the children
of God with the children of men, we find that God decided to give a grace period
to mankind of 120 years. God said the world has become so bad, the number of
the faithful has decreased so alarmingly, that now I will give the world 120 years
of grace, and in this time my spirit will contend, with the hearts of human beings.
Genesis 6:3:

. 3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in[a] man forever, for he is
flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”

In other words, the Holy Spirit would do a special work during those 120 years, but the Bible
tells us that the Holy Spirit would do that special work by preaching Noah.

2 Pedro 2:5
5 if
he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of
righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of
the ungodly;

In other words, Noah was a preacher of justice, to people living righteous lives.
Hebreos 11:7
7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in
reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he
condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by
faith.

Stephen Bohr says preaching instead of faith, I don't know why, but when he
can read Hebrews11: 7 it makes sense implicitly, but preaching, which can be
because as we see in 2 Peter 2: 5 Noah also preached it diluted but no one
believed that at that time the fruit trees, God vegetation were watered from the
water that was steamed from the underground layers of the earth, that's why the
concept of rain from the sky, was so strange for the antediluvians.

The people of that time ignored Noah's preaching, and no one believed him.
Only Noah and his family were saved from the flood by faith, it is also known
that more people believed in the flood such as Matusalen, who was Noah's
grandfather, and died the same year of the flood.

Now comes the critical moment of this story, the time comes when Noah is at
the door of the ark and in a miraculous way, the animals come walking from all
parts of the earth 2 in 2: Noe's verse in Holywood is that the Noah's sons are
with ropes capturing the animals, and that was not so, the animals listened to
God, and entered the ark.
What did God want to teach with this miracle?, Says Esteban Bohr, what God
teaches is that animals heard the voice of God and human beings did not, that
is, human beings had reached a lower level than brute beasts ( animals). They
had no conscience to hear the voice of God.

Genesis 7:6-17:
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon
the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives
with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Of
clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of
everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two and two, male and
female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded
Noah. 10 And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the
earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on
the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of
the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were
opened. 12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty
nights. 13 On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham
and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with
them entered the ark, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind,
and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird,
according to its kind, every winged creature.15 They went into the ark
with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of
life. 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as
God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.
17 Theflood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased
and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

Now the questions posed by Esteban Bohr are:


When was the antediluvian world condemned, when the ark door was closed or
when the flood began?
The answer he gives is that when the ark door was closed.
Why do you think God did not rain the same day he closed the ark door?
The answer is that God made Noah and his family go through a time of anguish,
to prove their faith. And during those 7 days after the ark door closed, the
wicked did not know they were lost, as Matthew 24: 37-42 explains. In this
period the wicked that were outside became even more blasphemous against
God, while Noah and his family who were inside the ark at some times might
have doubted, but his faith made him survive. Those inside the ark could only
know that they were saved by faith in the word of God.

When did the outsiders realize they were lost?


When the flood came and took them all.
It is important to highlight 3 periods of time:
1- Time of grace that God gave was 120 years, which ended when the door of
the ark was closed.
2- Then comes the time of anguish,
3- Finally the destruction.
Before destroying the world (apocalypse), God will give a time of grace, so that
we will find him and know him, just as he was in the days of Noah. In addition,
Pastor Bohr emphasizes that the destiny of the wicked from Noah's time was
decided from the moment the door of the ark is closed, which if we see it from
the point of view of the end of the world, is the closing of The door of the grace
period.

So when it comes to being prepared for the second coming of Jesus Christ, it is
not true, we must be prepared for the closing of the door of grace, because after
the door of grace is closed comes a time of affliction ( anguish) which has not
seen the human race since its creation. And only unwavering faith will survive in
that time of anguish.
And Jesus Christ said that will be (the time of Noah) also the coming of the son
of man.
Matthew 24:26:
“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out;
26

or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

Matthew 24:37-39:

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in
36

heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of
Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days
before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they
knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took
them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of
Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other
left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken
and the other left.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your
42

Lord will come.

Pastor Bohr says that in the New Testament a common word is used to speak
of a flood, for example in the text that speaks of the house built on rock and
sand: the Greek word used there is "POTAMOS". And the only area in the New
Testament in which another word is used is in Matthew 24: 37-42, where the

Greek word CATACLISMS is used. A Cataclysm is a world catastrophe .


Matthew 24:24-27:

4
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great
signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.25 See, I have
told you ahead of time.
26“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not
go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as
lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will
be the coming of the Son of Man.

Matthew 24:39-40:

and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood
39

came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of
the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and
the other left.
Then Pastor Bohr says: Then one will be taken and taken to heaven, and
another will be left on earth. Listen, is this not the way in which you interpret the
majority of Christians? If so, most Christians interpret it, but we must be careful
not to put the text what it does not say. Now these 2 verses (40 and 41) are the
most used verses to defend an idea of a secret rapture. The context does not
allow these verses to speak of a secret rapture, because the previous verses
speak of the flood cataclysm. Esteban Bohr also says a question. When did the
flood come how many groups were there? For there were 2 groups, the
righteous who were saved, that is, Noah and his family, and the wicked who
were killed by the flood, and how many of those outside the ark were alive?
None, zero. Notice how interesting the typology I have shared in this study:
Preaching, the Holy Spirit, closing of grace, time of anguish and destruction.
The world after the flood, returned to the condition it was before the creation,
and in the future when Christ comes the world will be as before the creation.

And just as Satan was forced to remain on earth during the flood, he will also
have to remain on earth during the millennium. There a parallel, there is a whole
parallel in this of the flood. What happens is that we generally say, the world will
ultimately be very evil as in the flood and then God will destroy them. But there
is much more, the closing of grace, preaching, the time of anguish. Genesis is a
prophetic book, it is not only a story book.

Then there are 2 groups those who were saved inside the ark and those who
died.
Why can't this refer to the secret rapture?
I will explain why, according to those who believe in the secret rapture, that
when Christ comes, they say that Christ will take the church to heaven, some of
those on earth will die. Because, for example, a man is driving a plane, the man
takes it and what happens, the passengers of the plane collide and die. And
those who are driving a car will disappear the driver and collide, and those who
are driving machinery disappears and the machinery continues to do its job and
it is a disaster, the boat that is full of people collides and only those who are
abducted are saved to heaven. But according to those who teach this, not
everyone who is left behind will die. Now you understand why this cannot be
talking about the rapture, why it is SHARING it with the flood, and in the flood
there were ONLY 2 GROUPS, and WE KNOW THAT ONLY THOSE WHO
WERE SAVED AND ALL THE Wicked DIED. In the flood there are no groups
as it tries to explain the secret rapture. In addition, the context and the use of
words indicates that this cannot be speaking of a secret rapture. The word used
here for coming is the word PARUSIA, to speak of the glorious advent of Jesus
Christ, in Matthew 24 he tells us that it is PARUSIA.
Matthew 24:3-6:

3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to
him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what
will be the sign of your coming(PARUSIA) and of the end of the age?”
4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many
will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive
many.6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that
you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to
come.
The PARUSIA is no secret coming, it is a coming to end this world as we know
it.

Matthew 24:26-27:

26 “Soif anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or,
‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes
from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of
Man.

Pastor Bohr says ironically, how many of you have seen a secret lightning? Just
as the lightning is visible, the PARUSIA or second coming of Jesus Christ is
visible, so in this context he cannot be speaking of a secret rapture, which is the
same word used in Matthew 24 verse 37 and 39.

Matthew 24:37-42:

37 Asit was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of
Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they
knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all
away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be
in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding
with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will
come.

Also, if we go in Luke 17: 26-30, he says that only Lot and his family were LIVE,
and all the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah all died.

Luke 17:26-30
26 “Justas it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of
Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up
to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It
was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying
and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur
rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

So the Bible is telling us that when Christ comes, will all the wicked die? Of
course, everyone will die, except for those who are saved or righteous.
Some may say, yes pastor, but you are talking about verses 37-39, and we are
talking about verse 40. Ahhhh !!!, but verse 40 begins with a very important
word the word "THEN", then When? Then, according to the context, what does
that time mean? He is speaking of the flood, in other words when the door of
grace is closed and destruction comes, THEN at that time one will be TAKEN
and another will be LEFT.
That of the taken and left occurs in a secret rapture, or does it happen, when
does the general destruction of the human race come according to the context?
It will be TAKEN and another LEFT.

Now comes the key question: Who is taken and who is left?
Traditionally even in the Seventh-day Adventist church, most scholars have
taught that the taken are those who are taken from heaven with Jesus Christ,
and have taught that the left are those who are left behind when Christ comes.
Those who believe in the rapture believe that those taken are those that Christ
takes to heaven at the time of the rapture, and those left either dead or alive.
And when you talk to a Pentecostal, he tells you: "What else is there to say
about this text? It is very clear, says some is taken and another left, and an end
point. That means taken, taken means taken to heaven and left means that
Christ left him behind on planet earth.
What more discussion is there?
The issue, my sisters and brothers, is that the bible was not written in Spanish,
nor in English, nor was it written in English, the bible was written in the
language, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
And the way words were used in biblical times is not always the way words are
used today. You cannot say that taken means taken to heaven, and left means
left behind, using the translation of the twentieth century, in our language and
say that the words were meant in the biblical framework. So what concerns us
is to discover what those words mean in their biblical framework.

Let's talk first of the word LEFT. Now, where would it be good to go if you are
talking about the left? You are also talking about the flood, where would we
have to go to see who the left are? It would be a good idea to go to Genesis, do
you think? Ok.

Genesis 7:23
23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals
and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from
the earth. Only Noah was LEFT, and those with him in the ark.
Now let's examine other biblical texts that use the word Shawar in the Old

Testament:

Exodus 14:28
The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the
28

entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the
sea. Not one of them survived.

None of them survived, that is, IT WAS NO, NONE.

Let's: Joshua 8:22, word take and leave are used.

Joshua 8:22 New International Version (NIV)


Those in the ambush also came out of the city against them, so that
22

they were caught(TAKEN) in the middle, with Israelites on both sides.


Israel cut them down, leaving(LEFT) them neither survivors nor
fugitives.

Who are the taken? those who are destroyed, and who are those that remain,
those who are saved.
Some more texts, the word shawar, that is, what leaves the great calamity alive,
unfortunately in Spanish the translators of Reina Valera.

Isaiah Spanish to English translation


Isaiah 24: 3-6:
3 The earth will be entirely emptied, and completely plundered; because
Jehovah has pronounced.
This word "left," "remained," or "diminished" in Spanish, and you wouldn't know it unless you
get it in a biblical concordance. You would not know that where they translated decreased,
it is the same word of genesis 7:23 where it says that only Noah stayed with his
family.
4 It was destroyed, the earth fell; he fell ill, the world fell; the high towns of the
earth became ill.
5 And the earth was defiled under its inhabitants; because they broke the laws,
falsified the law, broke the everlasting pact.
6 For this cause the curse consumed the earth, and its inhabitants were
ravaged; for this reason the inhabitants of the earth were consumed, and the
men decreased (FEW MEN WERE).
Isaiah 24:18 18 And it shall come to pass that he that flees from the voice of
terror shall fall into the pit; and he who goes out from the middle of the pit will be
imprisoned (TAKEN) in the net; because from above the windows will open, and
the foundations of the earth will tremble.

Biblia original english


Isaiah 24:3-6
3 Theearth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.
The LORD has spoken this word.
4 The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens languish with the earth.
5 The earth is defiled by its people;

they have disobeyed the laws,


violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth;

its people must bear their guilt.


Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are LEFT.

Isaiah 24:18 English Standard Version (ESV)


18 He who flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught(TAKEN) in the snare.
For the windows of heaven are opened,
and the foundations of the earth tremble.

The Hebrew word for Taken is Lakad.

The google translator does not translate this word very well but there are pages
web that agree that Lakad is the word to be taken.

https://bibliaparalela.com/hebrew/3920.htm

2 At that time the renewal of Jehovah will be for beauty and glory, and the fruit
of the earth for greatness and honor, those delivered from Israel. 3 And it shall
come to pass that he that SHALL remain in Zion, and he that is LEFT in
Jerusalem, shall be called holy; all who in Jerusalem are written among the
living;
Here in Ageo, he is talking about the second temple, and what was left of living
elders, who had seen the temple of Solomon.

Age 2: 3 Who has REMAINED among you who has seen this house in its first
glory, and how do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?.

Age 2: 3 Who has REMAINED among you who has seen this house in its first
glory, and how do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?. Here he is
talking about 7 brothers who left no offspring, that is, they had no children who
were or were alive. Then those who are left then are the saved, LEFT WITH
LIFE. Mark 12:20 -22. There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and
dying, DID NOT LEAVE seed; 21 And the second took her, and died, and
neither did he LEFT seed; and the third, in the same way. 22 And the seven
took it, and left no seed either: in the end the woman also died. That is, there
was NO remnant left alive.
Let's examine the word TAKEN:

Judges 1: 8 And the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it, and
passed their inhabitants by the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.
Synonymous with Tomaron, they conquered it, they defeated it, they destroyed
it, and now the text explains what the word taken means, that all the
TOMATOES were DESTROYED.

Still today there is talk of taking a city in a war.

When Christ comes in Revelation 19, does he come to take the wicked?
Yes, observe the military terminology.

Revelation 19: 19-20


19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered
together to war against the one who rode the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken (taken), and with it the false prophet who had made
before her the signs with which he had deceived those who received the mark
of the beast, and had worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into a
lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

So when Christ comes the human race will be taken, defeated, conquered?
Yes.

Let's look at 2 more texts, in eclesiastes 7:26, do you know that here we have
another case where the word is not translated in the same way, but I can tell
you that it is the same word, so you don't have to look for it, but if They want to
corroborate what I am saying. Go to a biblical concordance to see if I am telling
you the truth or not. It is always good to check, to see if the preacher is telling
you the truth or not.

They know that it is the word ties, it is the word drink, what does a woman who
is bad do ?, catch, beat, the man she sees with her tricks.
Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I have found more bitter than death to the woman whose
heart is ties (TAKEN) and nets, and her hands bound. He who pleases God will
escape it; but the sinner will remain in her PRISON (TAKEN).

Who is taken in this text, who is caught by this evil woman.


Proverbs 11: 6
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them;
But sinners will be caught (TAKEN) in their sin.
Which means they will be taken, it means they are defeated, defeated,
destroyed.

Note also that in proverbs 5:22 he also uses the same word, the word LAKAT in
Hebrew.

Proverbs 5:22 They will turn (take) the wicked their own iniquities,
Again, what does the word taken mean? Are you talking about taking a person
and taking it to another place? No, taken means it will be destroyed, deceived,
as you wish to say.

Now we go to Isaiah 8:14 and a prophecy of the messiah.

Who are the ones taken in this text? It is the Jews who reject Christ, it means
they will reject Christ, and their city will be destroyed.

Isaiah 8:14-15
:14 Then he (Christ) will be by sanctuary; but to the two houses of Israel, by
stone to stumble, and by stumbling block to fall, and by loop and by net to the
inhabitant of Jerusalem.
15 And many shall stumble among themselves, and fall, and be broken; and
they will become entangled and will be seized (TAKEN).

Notice the use of the word taken in the new testament:


Luke 9:39 and it happens that a spirit takes HIMSELF (TAKES) of him, and
suddenly he shouts, and the spirit causes him to fall with convulsions, casting
[a] foams; and bruising him, he hardly departs from him. 40 Then I begged your
disciples to cast him out, and they couldn't. 41 Answering Jesus, he said: O
incredulous and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and will I
endure you? Bring your son here, and he will be held with the ropes of his sin.
2 Corinthians 12:16 But so be it, I have not aggravated you; but, since I am
cunning, I have TAKEN you by deception.
2 Corinthians 11:20 For you tolerate if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours
you, if anyone TAKES yours, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone slaps you.

John 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a surprised woman
(TAKEN) in adultery; and putting her in the middle, 4 said: Teacher, this woman
has been surprised (TAKEN) in the act of adultery itself.

What does it mean taken in these verses? That has been caught, surprised,
discovered, how the wicked will be taken. Because those who wait for Jesus
Christ WILL NOT BE TAKEN, we will say, behold, our God and he will save us.
What does the word taken ?. Conquered, defeated, destroyed.
That is, the word taken is the destroyed, and the left are the living, the
righteous.
a

Pastor Bohr asks. Based on the text, are they first taken away and then left?
No, they must first be left, and then they can be taken away.
That is why the Bible speaks of the resurrection, what will happen to the wicked
when Christ comes? They will be destroyed.
And who will remain alive? The only ones who are going to be alive are the
saved. The 144,000. (Regarding this point of whether or not they will be
144,000, I think it can be symbolic, I don't know, but that's what Pastor Bohr
says).
So to stay, and to be taken away, they are not the same, you first have to be left
alive, so that later Christ takes them away.
Prepare for a big surprise, first of Thessalonians 4 says: that the left or left are
those who are alive (saved) when Christ comes, but in chapter 5 the other word
is used, taken, and they know to whom it applies (Apostle Paul) the word taken
in the following verses, to those who are lost in sin or are destroyed. !!!

The important thing about this is that in the same context the word appears
those that remain, like those saved when Christ comes, while in chapter 5, he
speaks of those who are taken as those who are going to be lost or destroyed.

1 Thessalonians 5:
5 But about times and occasions, you have no need, brothers, for me to write to
you. 2 For you know perfectly well that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night;
How will the coming of Christ do?
As a thief in the night, I ask people, when a thief enters the night, people do not
realize until the next day when they steal it, they are caught by surprise, like the
customs woman mentioned above.
Pastor Borh says: "I wonder, when I close the door of grace, will the wicked
realize? No, they will realize when the morning of the resurrection comes. Now
observe what the Bible continues to say. ”
3 that when they say: Peace and security, then sudden destruction will come
upon them, like the pains of the pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that day you may be surprised
(TOME) as a thief.

Why is this topic important? 2 reasons:


When you sit with a Pentecostal and you cover this study, which I have covered
with you, doubts begin to arise in their minds, not only in regard to this text, but
in relation to others. It happened to me with many. The series of genesis for
example, Sister Maria Sanchez saw the series "discovering secrets of genesis",
without knowing that they were Adventists, it is not until presentation 27 of 28
that I identify myself as an Adventist pastor, and she says that if she I would
have known I was an Adventist, I would never have seen any videos. Because
the evangelical pastor told her not to see anything the Adventist church was
telling her, don't hear any Adventist pastor, don't hear anything Adventist. Do
not read any Adventist literature, have nothing to do with Adventists. But as she
describes it, I saw 27 presentations and in 27 I discovered that I was an
Adventist, so oohhh !!!, but by that time the truth had already caught me.
she describes it I saw 27 presentations and on 27 of 28 I discovered that I was
an Adventist, then oohhh !!!, but by that time the truth had already caught me.

The truth surprised her, and if she is faithful she will be left, and if she is faithful
she will be left alive (laughs).
Pastor Bohr: I know what this matter is like, all of a sudden people see the text
and say: "Then what I have been taught in a lie. And how many texts they have
taught me are also crooked? ”, So you have the opportunity to share other texts
with them, you know that I do the same with the series of the dead. There is a
series of cassettes that every Adventist must have, not that I want to sell
brothers and sisters cassettes, I am very well thanks I receive my salary, I have
to eat, I have a house that belongs to the bank, and everything is going well
Thank God, not an exorbitant amount of money, but enough to live well. So
when I recommend cassettes it is not because I want to make money. Because
it is a headache to load boxes with cassettes, it is much easier for me to take
my suitcase with my suits, ride the plane. The series of the state of the dead is
crucial, there are 10 cassettes, where I analyze all the texts, or almost all the
difficult texts, the pythoness of the endor, the thief on the cross, absent in the
body and present with the Lord, the souls under the altar, Paul's desire to leave
and be with Christ, do not fear that he can kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
All those texts analyzed from a biblical perspective. I in Colombia present one of
these issues in the morning, there being some Pentecostals, and preach on that
subject "absent from the body and present with the Lord." It is such a biblical
and powerful subject, the argument, to show that Paul did not want to be absent
from the body and with the soul present in the Lord, that a group of
Pentecostals came later and told me: “Pastor what a clear thing, now if we
understand what Paul meant, all the other texts that teach you also have an
explanation. ” And there they kept in touch with Adventist pastors. We must fill
our minds with things that help us to reach people.
Finally, why does the devil want to convince Christians that they will be taken to
heaven, in the rapture before the tribulation and before Christ comes?.

Because the devil knows, that the entire human race of those who are alive, will
go through the final tribulation, and he wants Christians to think that they will not
happen so that when they are in the tribulation they have not developed the
necessary faith To beat him. Because you are not going to prepare for a
disaster that you think is not going to affect you.
For example, if you saw the news, a hurricane comes to Miami, you are going to
prepare for the hurricane in Yorkshire. No, because you believe that disaster
does not come here. The disaster is going to hit there. The same Christians
say: "that of the tribulation is not for me, I will be in heaven", and when they are
in the time of anguish, they will be without shelter, because they have not
learned to depend on Jesus Christ knowing how terrible that end is going to be,
that is why what we have talked about is not merely academic, we must take
this passage and other biblical passages and show people that they will have to
go through that great tribulation, which will have no comparison with nothing
since creation, but in that context, you need to learn to trust in Jesus Christ and
make him your friend, to develop a strong life of prayer, to go to church, to keep
your spiritual life alive, and thus prepare, for the crisis that He is coming, helping
you now with Jesus Christ.

So who is taken and left?


Left = Associated with the living / Saved.
Taken = Associated with the Destroyed.
