The answer to your question is that the first resurrection (which pertains strictly to Christ and His saints) occurs in THREE PHASES. Just like a Hebrew harvest.

1. THE FIRST FRUITS -- the resurrection of Christ and some of the saints at that time

2. THE MAIN HARVEST -- the Resurrection/Rapture of the Church

3. THE GLEANINGS -- the Tribulation saints which were beheaded by the Antichrist


1 CORINTHIANS 15

20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept...

23 But every man in his own order:
[1] Christ the firstfruits; [2] afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24
[3] Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Most skip over this component.
Harvest is indeed 3 or 4 parts. (Depending on if you count "corners" of the field).
Rev 14 is harvest of the Jews. It could be the tail end of the main (rapture) or a separate 3 or 4 part harvest [because the 144k are firstfruits]
End times IMO , can not be understood w/o the harvest component on the table.
Why noone looks at it is bizarre since Jesus and the 144k are firstfruits.
Most are either oblivious to,or just ignore it

I was wondering where dc was getting that notion.
Possibly rev 10: 6 &7?

And how was time established and marked off <----the EVENING and the MORNING was the 1st day

When is the last day <----When the 7th trump begins to sound TIME shall be NO MORE......

Of course this gets explained away and or flat denied....oh well!!!!
Time concerning a group,not time in general.

It is saying " time (for them) is run out."

Or "it is too late,it is over"
