These verses tells us who is included in the first resurrection and when this will happen.
The "tribulation saints" are included and It happens when Jesus returns, binds Satin for 1000 years, and begins His reign 1000 year reign on the earth.
It also plainly states this is the first resurrection and those who are not in the first resurrection will suffer the second death.
If the "rapture of the church" happens before the tribulation, but the tribulation saint are resurrected after the tribulation and are included in the first resurrection, we have a dilemma here.
How can these two groups both be in the first resurrection if their resurrections are several years apart?
Once the resurrection happens no Gentile can be saved after that, for if they were a hypocrite Jesus said they cannot dwell with Him, and once He shuts the door it is too late to be saved.
All people that miss the first resurrection has to go to the great white throne judgment after the millennial reign of Christ.
If the resurrection is pre-7 years period then no Gentile can be saved after that, but the beast makes war against the saints for the last three and one half years, and it cannot be talking about Israel for the 2 witnesses only started working among them to turn them to Jesus, and going against the Jews cannot be the greatest persecution against the truth in history.
By way of the 7 years peace agreement in the Middle East it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel, for the Gentile nations will see to it, and the New Age Christ wants them all back on their land, but God means it for good, and said He is gathering the whole house of Israel and putting them back on their land, and will not leave the Jews in the nations anymore.
The beast makes war against the Christians on a worldwide level which is why it is the greatest persecution ever in the last half of the 7 years period, so if all Jews are on their land as decreed by God, then the beast must be going against Gentiles around the world that keep the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus.
But if the resurrection happens before the 7 years period then there is no Gentile saint during the 7 years period.
Also repentance, and salvation, are still available during the first half of the 7 years period, so Gentiles can be saved during that time, but if the resurrection is before the 7 years period there is no Gentile that can be saved.
When they take the mark of the beast, which has to do with technology, a GPS tracking system for humans, for if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene, which Trump addressed concerning 911 could of been avoided if they had a tracking device for people on temporary visas, and also Trump pushes for peace in the Middle East more than any other president.
It is close at hand.
Also the Son will deliver the kingdom up to the Father when He has put down all rule, authority, and power, so once the resurrection happens then God is right on them pronto, and not playing around, and puts them down right away.
So why would God allow them to continue for 7 years if the resurrection happens before the 7 years period, and why would His wrath be that long.
The Bible says that the beast makes war against the saints, and prevails against them, and they are given in to his hands for three and one half years, and when he shall accomplish to scatter the power of the holy people all things are finished, which then comes the end when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father.
And then God's wrath will go against them which is not that long of a time leading to the battle of Armageddon where Jesus fights the world, and defeats the world, and saves Israel who has turned to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
Which Paul said the saints cannot be gathered unto Christ until there is a falling away first, and the man of sin claims to be God, which the falling away is the condition of the world in response to the Gospel, which they stop the preaching of it during the first three and one half years, and the time that they will not endure sound doctrine, but want to hear the Bible according to their own lusts, the new age movement false interpretation of the Bible that God warns the saints about, and all religions interpreted by them.
Also God is giving the world their way for 7 years, and repentance, and salvation, is still available to the world for the first half, and the beast has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and has power to rule for the last three and one half years, which he can only have that power if God gave it to him.
So God's wrath is not in the 7 years period because God is allowing them to have their way for 7 years, so He will not go against the world for the 7 years period.
But if the resurrection happens before the 7 years period then God would go against them right away, for there is no purpose for God to let them continue ruling if the saints, the truth, are gone from the world, but they still continue ruling for the 7 years period.
In conclusion there is no resurrection before the man of sin, New Age Christ rules for the last three and one half years.
Also when the man of sin establishes peace in the Middle East, the Gentile nations will come together and say Peace and safety as they try to establish peace on earth, but Paul said when the nations do come together and say Peace and safety the saints will not be deceived by it knowing it is not the operation of God.
So the saints are on earth when the 7 years period starts.
