Read 2 Esdras ((Ezra))13 in the Apocrypha it explains what left behind means…
2 Esdras 13:22 Wheras thou hast spoken of them that are left behinde, this is the interpretation. 2 Esdras 13:23 He that shall endure the perill in that time, hath kept himselfe: they that be fallen into danger, are such as haue workes, and faith towards the Almightie. 2 Esdras 13:24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behinde, are more blessed then they that be dead.
