I think it is important, here, to note that God
can protect in these ways
Exodus 9
25Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
Psalm 91
5You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
7Though a thousand may fall at your side,
and ten thousand at your right hand,
no harm will come near you.
8You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.
Daniel 3
26Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!”
So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
27and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that
the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
Also, this event
1 Thessalonians 4:
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and
with the trumpet of God, and
the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
seems to be talking about the same event here, imo
1 Corinthians 15:
52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
If so, one question that may arise is
what are in the previous Trumpets?
If they are the same Trumpets in Revelation 8-11, then there are presumably some catastrophic things
Revelation 8
7Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth.
A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass.
8Then the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea.
A third of the sea turned to blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and
many people died from the bitter waters.
12Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and
a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.
Revelation 9
1Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss.
2The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.
3And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth. 4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,
but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
10They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months. 11They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.
13Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15So
the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.
Revelation 11
3And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
15Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven:
“The kingdom of the world
has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of His Christ,
and He will reign forever and ever.”
1 Corinthians 15
52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
I apologize in advance if there are any errors. Believe The Holy Bible over any errors that I make.
