One will be taken up, the other left behind.
Where the dead are, there the vultures gather (Matthew 24:28). Eagles feed on blood (Job 39:30). Jesus said, "Eat my flesh and drink my blood to receive eternal life" (John 6:54). Blood was shed for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28). We receive forgiveness of sins through His blood (Colossians 1:14).
REASONS TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS
Jude 11 — Harbouring hatred against brothers.

1 John 3:4 — Going against God's Word.
Leviticus 24:15 — Cursing or blaspheming God. Job's wife cursed God.
