Shalom, veteran.
So now you're too scared to read and interpret the Luke 17:34-37 Scripture for us?
Luke 17:34-37
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
(KJV)
With how the pre-trib rapture school uses that Scripture, you well ought to be scared to interpret that Scripture for us.
Allow me. (Of course, you're not going to like my answer, but, oh well.)
Luke 17:34-37

All Yeshua` was saying was that there was coming a time soon when people were going to be trying to trick them into thinking the Messiah had come to draw them out so they could capture them, and about 50% of them would be captured. His students asked Him where it would happen, and He answered "wherever the corpse is, that's where the vultures will flock." In other words, wherever THEY, His disciples, would be, that's where these deceivers would show up.
This happened in the first century between 66 and 68 A.D. prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. I know some will object to this statement, but one should remember that a "revealing" (
apokalupsis, as in Luke 17:22, 24, 26, 30) of the Son of man is technically different than the "coming" (
erchomenon, as in Matthew 24:30) of the Son of man.
