You disagree with Paul, Jesus, and John and say that the rapture happens before the tribulation???
In 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul writes, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will always be with the Lord.”
The dead in Christ MUST rise first.
When do the dead in Christ rise?
In Matthew 24, Jesus tells us,
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days:
The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not shed its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the celestial powers will be shaken.
30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Jesus says that the elect of God will be raised, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days…”
In Revelation 20, after the tribulation, John sees the resurrection of the elect and he writes,
“They (the elect) came to life and reigned with the Messiah for 1,000 years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
So Paul says that the Dead in Christ are raised before the rapture. Jesus says that the elect are raised “after the tribulation”. John, after the tribulation, at the return of Jesus, says that he sees the elect raised from the dead. He tells us that “THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION”.
You disagree with Paul, Jesus, and John and say that the rapture happens before the tribulation…
Wow… Who am I to believe?????
