here are the evevnts according to scripture believe the scriptures or what you have been taught
Re 19:6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.Re 19:7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.Re 19:8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
then here by the words used and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, this verse is clearly talking only about the tribulation saints or to say those that went through the tribulation only. if we can establish this then watch what the word of God says
Re 20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.Re 20:5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.Re 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
now a few notes from these verses the ones to live and reign with Him for the thousand years (millennium) are the ones that lived in the great tribulation period. and we establish this from verse 4 neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
the first resurrection is only for the tribulation saints we establish by verse 6 they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. who will reign with Him for the thousand years? those that didn't take on the mark of the beast. this is the first resurrection also . but now note in in verse 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. if the post trib guys state verily boldly, that there is only one resurrection or one more coming of the Lord then I have to ask here who are the rest of the dead that are raised a thousand years after the first resurrection???? this is in a time line here event after event
Re 20:7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Re 20:11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.Re 20:12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.Re 20:13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.Re 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.Re 20:15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
so let me step any who will haves eyes to see , The Church/ bride is already with their white robes which we don't get before we go to heaven Before the first resurrection which consist of trib. saints/ the wedding party. how did they get ready before the first resurrection? the rapture maybe? the we have the rest of the dead that is not raised until after the thousand year reign so my question if post tribbers have the facts that all will be raised at one time shortly after the day of the Lord who are the rest of the dead that are raised only after the first resurrection and after the thousand year reign of Christ , the rest of the dead is not the lost souls because the rest of the dead will be judged by the book of life.
one more thought on this, God has just showed me as I read these scriptures.
Re 20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
If Jesus taught the disciples that the raising of the Church and the end time judgement was the same then can some post tribber please explain this .
Mt 19:27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?Mt 19:28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
two points here , peter was told that the twelve disciples would sit on the twelve thrones Judging Israel, so if there is not a pre-trib rapture of the new testament Church how are the twelve disciples already on the twelve thrones before the first resurrection??? then the second is that we can establish that the first resurrection is dealing with the tribulation saints those that refuse to take on the mark of the beast, then look at where they are at , before the twelve thrones of Israel meaning that the ones who's robes are washed during the great tribulations are Jews only!!! praise the Lord for revelation of scriptures
