Hi VCO,
Regarding the bold ^ ,
how do you account for the fact that Daniel [OT saint] was told he would "rest [that is, in death] and STAND IN THY LOT [that is, be resurrected ('to stand again on the earth')] at the END OF THE DAYS [at the END of the 'days' just referred to in that 12th chpt of Daniel, which is covering the second half of the trib (
Dan12:6,7,1)]" ...??
My view is that OT saints are NOT a part of "our Rapture" (as they have not been promised such), but instead ARE "A PART" of the
resurrection (and will indeed be present FOR "the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom" which will commence upon His
"RETURN" to the earth, at just this same point in time that Daniel is said he will be
"resurrected" [and again, see the G347 word, as found in Matt8:11 and parallel, as well... etc (Eph1:
10 not being "in this present age [singular]")]).
Just curious how you are seeing Dan12:13 (not to mention 12:12, which I believe refers to the "still-living" who will ENTER the MK in mortal bodies). What say you?
Thanks.
[to be clear, I am also "pre-trib," like you are... I just see this particular point differently than you do]
