1Co 15:51-54 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
As the above verses demonstrate at the last trump in Cor15:52 “death is swallowed up in victory,” Swallowed up in victory means death is defeated! So let’s go back to1Cor15:24-26 and see what it tells us occurs when death is defeated
1Co 15:24-26 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
The above verses tell us that Christ reigns until the death is defeated and then Christ delivers the kingdom to His Father!
So from the above verses we can see that at the last trumpof 1Cor15:52 death is defeated, Christ’s reign is finished (end of millennium) and Christ delivers the kingdom to His Father. So Let’s take a look at what Scripture tells us about the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] trump of Revelation and see if it is the same trump.
Rev 11:15-18 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
The verses in Revelation tells us it is at this trump when Christ delivers the kingdom to His Father and God reigns forever (not a 1000 years, the millennium is over) and the wicked are judged/destroyed. So unless Christ reigns twice and delivers the kingdom to His Father twice the last trump of 1Cor15:52 and the 7[SUP]th[/SUP]trump of Revelation must be the same.
Simply put if we believe the Scripture we must recognize that the last trump of 1Cor15:52 and the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] trump of Revelation is the same trump. Or we can ignore what these verses tell us and continue jumping through hoops twisting Scripture in a feeble attempt to defend doctrines that contradict Scripture! The choice is yours folks believe the Scriptures or reject them in favor of doctrines (lise premil or pretrib) that are in error.
May God bless your studies!
