What Does Matthew 24:41 Mean?
Jesus repeats the lesson with a second pair: two women grinding grain together at the mill, and one is taken while the other is left. Again, nearness in daily labor does not settle one's standing before God.
The doubling drives the point deep. Whether in the field or at the mill, men or women, the coming day separates according to readiness, not circumstance. The ordinary tasks of life go on right up to the moment of division. Jesus would have each person examine his own heart now, while there is time, and be among those who are ready to meet their Lord.
