As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. -- Matthew 24:37-39

I don't care what Hal Lindsey or Tim LaHaye say, are you certain you want to be "taken away?" Or wouldn't you prefer to be left behind?

The coming of the Son of Man refers to God's returning to earth to set up his 1000 reign......you are confusing 2 different events.....he is not comparing the rapture to the flood where only the rightous were saved or "left behind" he is refering to God's second coming (whether there is a "tribulation" is irrelevent to the point being made) when he sets up his earthly kingdom and only the rightous will remain to enjoy it. The unrightous will be...."taken away".

If there is a rapture before the tribulation (as i believe) then i DO NOT want to be left behind.....If i were to be left behind for the tribulation....at the end of it.....I WOULD want to be left behind.....

Oh really?
When did Jesus mention that the coming of the Son of Man was going to happen TWICE?
