In the Day's of Noah

[Churchwork]

And as [were] the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. (Matt. 24.37)

Then shall two man be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: (v.40)

two women [shall be] grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. (v.41)

Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. (v.42)

At the start of the Tribulation there is the first rapture ("taken").

Near the end of the Tribulation there is the last trumpet rapture (for those that are "left").

Watch, because you don't know when the Tribulation is going to start.

If you are not watchful and prayerful like Enoch, you may not be ready to be received to the throne (Rev. 7.9) before the Tribulation at the first rapture and would need to pass through it as did Noah.

Enoch was really ready, but Noah was not as evident by sins he committed afterward. He is a type of rapture, but one raptured at the end of the Tribulation since he passes through it in the Arch.

Make sure any prophetic ministry you have aligns with this proper reading of the Scriptures.

[Paoli]

Most prophetic messages spoken in the church today come from false prophets. My wild guess is that about 98% is garbage and 2% comes from the Lord.

[jerusalemcouncil]

Contrary to what most people think, a prophet is one who causes others to make repentance back to the word of God, for it is the word of God that is spoken by the prophet, with maybe a warning or two mixed in for effect.

[Churchwork]

I disagree that that is the only reason. A prophet also gives insight to believers who are already well believing, but supply us with additional information through the revelation of the Holy Spirit in agreement with the Word.
