"""Since Rev 20:4,5 shows tribulational martyrs being resurrected and reigning with Christ, which clearly involves the Second Advent, we can confidently place both the Second Advent and "rapture" at the end of the Tribulation."""
Amazing that anyone actually promotes that with no basis whatsoever.

Young's Literal Translation
and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this is the first rising again.
Every translation mentions either a "first resurrection" or "first time people were raised from the dead".
Not difficult to figure out. Your claim is FLAT WRONG.
A resurrected group ALREADY RESURRECTED AND SEATED IS CALLED THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
But even beyond that they are CLASSIFIED AS "this is the first resurrection "
Which leaves it as a "dynamic" for the reader. ( NOT A MAGIC STATEMENT saying they are THE ONLY POSSIBLE "first resurrection")
Further demolishing the postrib view is that the SETTING IS WAY,WAY OFF.
That setting is AFTER Armageddon. AFTER SATAN is chained, and after the martyrs are seated.
That scene could be days or weeks AFTER the second coming on horses.

NOW....postribs i suppose do not bother to look at 1 thes 4...
AHEM....drum roll please...THE FIRST RESURRECTION!!!!!
AHEM....drum roll please...THE FIRST RESURRECTION!!!!!
Or BETTER YET, where in the passage does it mention Jesus taking these glorified believers to heaven?
SO THEY are very ignorant to suggest that 1thes 4 is after Armageddon, Satan chained, and the martyrs seated on thrones.!!!!!
Or how bizarre can you get to picture those martyred DURING THE TRIB as receiving thrones and believers martyred last week as having no such reward??????
NO JOKE FOLKS....this is exactly where false doctrine leads.[/QUOTE]
