shocking floods and earthquakes

It does say that there will be rumours and rumours of wars and earthquakes, etc. in divers places, but the end is not yet. No one only God knows where the end is. The only clue we have is that the gospel has to be preached to the ends of the earth and then the end will come. However no one knows how soon the end will come after that. I do know that there is a lot of persecution coming on, and no one knows when it will appear in the West. So no matter what, we have to be ready. The end may come for us and the world may still go on. I think that one will be taken and one left might refer to one suddenly dying even before Christ returns. That can be taken both ways.
