No...
Matthew 24:39 They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 “Two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill. One will be taken and the other left.
BUT, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND Jesus' teaching about the kingdom...
Mark 9:1 Jesus said to them, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see God’s kingdom coming with power.”

Matrthew 24:36-42 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. "
Many mistakenly use these verses to teach about a "Rapture", but this theory has several problems.
First those who teach the rapture is coming say there are "signs" by which we know it is near. These verses, however, say no man knows when that will be.
Secondly, those who preach the "rapture" preach that the righteous will be "taken" away and the evil will be left behind.
These verses teach that the coming of the Lord will be like the days of Noah. It explains that in the days of Noah, normal life continued until the flood "came and took them all away". (No signs). In the days of Noah, the evil were taken away by the flood and the righteous were left behind to begin a new life in a new world. "So shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
The rapture theory has the wrong ones being "taken away"!
The righteous will be left in the place where the Lord has come! The evil will be told "depart from me" (Matthew 25:41) It is described as weeds gathered up and thrown into the fire (Matthew 13:40).
The good will be left with the Lord and the evil will be "gathered up" and taken away!

Mt 24:37 - 42 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. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

once you march as a lot as attack a city, make its people an provide of peace. in the journey that they settle for and open their gates, each and each of the people in it will be challenge to forced demanding artwork and shall be astounding for you. in the journey that they do no longer opt for to make peace and they have interaction you in conflict, lay siege to that city. even as the LORD your God substances it into your hand, placed to the sword each and each of the adult men in it. As for the ladies people, the youngsters, the farm animals and each little thing else contained in the city, you may take those as plunder for yourselves. and also you should use the plunder the LORD your God grants out of your enemies. Rape, genocide, robbery and kidnapping. no longer a lot wish and faith there although, sorry. this is nevertheless very inspirational. this is stimulated me to comprehend that if the Bible is sweet and real, then God is a monster.
