Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:/ Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Jesus while speaking of end times sets two worlds to which we are bound. Considering Judea in his time was a pastoral land he warns the man in the field not to bother to go inside to take his clothes for he is expected to be taken as he is. So abrupt his coming shall be. The v.39 is about disaster that is coming upon the world.St Paul refers to it. " For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." (1 The.5:3) "And they shall not escape" There is a finality to the charade the world is presently engaged in. Greater this dumb show goes on more deceived are they who think the world shall come to some sense by all this talk about 'peace'. Jesus warns us as to how we should be,- with our loins girded and our shoulder to the yoke. "So shall also the coming of the Son of man be." What does house top indicate? For who are vigilant and living under the shadow of the almighty, it is our redemption. Our spiritual blessings in heavenly places, the world of the Spirit shall be clothed upon. (2 Co.5:4-5) The indwelling Spirit has given this hope so we groan within.
Matt.24:40-41
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left./Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Similarly the two in the field are two witnesses. One of the Spirit and our soul is the beneficiary; while the other flesh and blood left. Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Of the two woman it is similar case. Millstone refers to one life "No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge." Jesus is making a distinction between her inner life and physical world.
