Contextual Overview

32 Learne a parable of the fygge tree: when his braunche is yet tender, and the leaues sprong, ye knowe that somer is nye: 33 So lykewyse ye, when ye see all these thynges, be ye sure that it is neare, euen at the doores. 34 Ueryly I say vnto you: this generation shall not passe, tyll all these thynges be fulfylled. 35 Heauen and earth shall passe away but my wordes shall not passe away. 36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only. 37 But as the dayes of Noe were, so shall also the commyng of the sonne of man be. 38 For as in the dayes [that went] before the fludde, they dyd eate, and drynke, marry, and geue in maryage, euen vntyll the day that Noe entred into the Arke: 39 And knewe not, tyll the fludde came, and toke them all away: So shall also the commyng of the sonne of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the fielde, the one receaued, and the other refused. 41 Two [women] shalbe gryndyng at the myll, the one receaued, and the other refused.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then shall two be in the field,.... About their proper business, of husbandry, ploughing, or sowing, or any other rural employment:

the one shall be taken; not by the preaching of the Gospel, into the kingdom of God, or Gospel dispensation; though such a distinction God makes, by the ministry of the word, accompanied by his Spirit and power; nor by angels, to meet Christ in the air, and to be introduced into his kingdom and glory; but by the eagles, the Roman army, and either killed or carried captive by them:

and the other left; not in a state of nature and unregeneracy, as many are, to whom the Gospel is preached; nor with devils at the last day, to be thrust down by them into the infernal regions; but by the Romans, being by some remarkable providence, or another, delivered out of their hands; which was the case of some few, and these of the meaner sort; and therefore persons of a rural life and occupation are instanced in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then shall two be in the field ... - The calamity will come suddenly. There will be no escape for those whom it overtakes.

One shall be taken - The word “taken” may mean either to be taken away from the danger - that is, rescued, as Lot was Luke 17:28-29, or to be taken away “by death.” Probably the latter is the meaning.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 24:40-41. Then shall two men - two women - one shall be taken, and the other left. — The meaning seems to be, that so general should these calamities be, that no two persons, wheresoever found, or about whatsoever employed, should be both able to effect their escape; and that captivity and the sword should have a complete triumph over this unhappy people.

Two women shall be grinding — Women alone are still employed in grinding the corn in the east; and it is only when despatch is required, or the uppermost millstone is heavy, that a second woman is added. See Wakefield, and Harmer, Obs. vol. i. 253. That they were formerly thus employed, see Exodus 11:5, and the note there. See also Isaiah 47:2.
