Rev 14 his one and a half coming
Ok,lets play your deal out. You say that at the end of the gt we have the rapture of the dead in christ and those 10 or 15 saints alive after the world is in complete shambles with men praying to die and hiding in caves.
You think somehow millions/billions of saints are alive on the planet after all the plagues and wrath of God.
Now lets see,you have people shouting " peace and safety" ????
Peace and safety???
That dog won't hunt
I have no idea what your talking about.
Three distinct things happen at the coming of the Lord.
- Resurrection
- Rapture
- Destruction of the wicked, especially the antichrist!
All three events take place at the
coming of the Lord.
- For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the
coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:3
Paul even makes it more specific in the second letter to the Thessalonians, about the destruction of the antichrist at His
coming.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His
coming.
2 Thessalonians 2:8
The antichrist is actually destroyed by the brightness of His
coming.
Three distinct and irrefutable things that take place at His coming: In order.
- The Resurrection
- The Rapture
- The destruction of the antichrist
