1st resurrection, the true church, the restraining spirit is taken away and the antichrist is allowed to reign.
The single resurrection of ALL believers ("those who belong to Him") will occur "when He comes", per 1 Cor 15:23. Therefore, it is impossible for any resurrection to occur before the Tribulation, since all believers, which includes all martyred believers during the resurrection, are in the resurrection called the FIRST resurrection. The second resurrection is the single resurrection of all the unsaved, which is for the GWT judgment. Acts 24:15, John 5:28,29
2nd resurrection, the 144000 minister during the tribulation and save many souls. So, they are separated like sheep and goats.
Nope. 1 Cor 15:23 is crystal clear: one resurrection for all believers, occurring "when He comes", which is the Second Advent.
This is not rocket science. It's plainly written. I don't believe a word any of you "post-tribers" say, you're only here to argue...
Pleas don't believe me. But please do believe the Scriptures.
1. 2 resurrections total. Acts 24:15 - and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
John 5:28,29
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
2. resurrection for the saved at the second advent. 2 Thess 2:1 - Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 1 Cor 15:23 - But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
3. resurrection for the unsaved at the GWT judgment. Rev 20:5a - (
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)
This is the first resurrection.
Red words refer to all unbelievers, resurrected for the GWT judgment. Blue words refer to the believer resurrection, which occurs at the Second Advent.
Now, which verse describes Jesus taking glorified believers to heaven? Isn't that the pretrib view?
