There will be no Rapture!!!

No it isn't.

"The kingdom OF THE heavenS" (see v.1) is the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom, commencing, in earnest, upon His Second Coming to the earth (Rev19 time-slot); This passage is one of several telling who will ENTER the MK age ("still-living" / in mortal bodies) upon His RETURN there (to the earth)--saints only (NO unbelievers will); These folks never lift off the earth.




Note that this passage (speaking of v.10) does not use the WITH-word "G4862 [UNIONed-with (Him)]" like it does of US in passages like in 1Th4:17 (and other related passages); Instead, it uses the WITH-word that is "G3326 [accompanying (Him)]"

(because they are not "MARRYING" Him... these are the PLURAL VIRGINS, just like the "bridesmaids" are; check out Ps45:14 "She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee." See the "plural"?? Those are not the one he's marrying/married to, in that particular text, see)





He's not MARRYING "the FRIEND of the Bridegroom"... nor the "FIVE [wise] virginS"... nor the "GUESTS [plur.]"... nor "the sons of the bridechamber"... etc...

He's only "MARRYING" the ONE He is "betrothed" to... the ONE "A CHASTE VIRGIN [singular]" of 2Cor11:2... the ONE "bride / wife [singular]" of Rev19:7 (not the INVITED guests [plural]" of v.9)

We are not to grieve because tge dead will rise from the dead at the end of tge age.

"Died and gone to heaven" seems to get more airtime at funerals, though I hear this passage read more. Scripture says little about tge state of the dead before the resurrection, though preachers at funerals can say much.


Btw I do not get what you are trying to say

Because they are not the Church. The Church is "one and done". Starts at Pentecost, ends at the rapture. The Church Age.

These are "tribulation saints" who COME TO BELIEVE post-rapture, because of the preaching of the 144,000 Israelite "virgins", the two witnesses and probably many other ways and means, including simply reading the Bible and recognizing that IT IS ALL REALLY HAPPENING.

Likewise, Jesus is not marrying Daniel, Moses and all other OT saints.

When are these deniers going to read the book of Ruth and "get it"?

"That is not from the bible. It is imaginary, fiction created by Post-tribbers"

Saved trib saints. Right there buddy. Saved by the washing of the Blood just like everybody else. Just like the Church. Just like OT saints.

Rev 7:14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Rightly understanding prophecy demands wisdom.....

Rev 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Rev 17:9
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

I mean, this doesn't seem terribly difficult to understand.

The Church, will be raptured. After that, the JEWISH 144,000 will go out and convert many of their Brethren, and I think it's fair to say, many Gentiles as well.

So these people ARE THE SAINTS that have been converted AFTER the rapture of the Church, and will go through the 3.5 yrs of The Great Tribulation.

This is also the pattern, or SIMILITUDE, given several times in Scripture. Most notably with Enoch getting raptured, representing the Church.
Noah and family representing the righteous going THROUGH tribulation, and the unbelieving rest facing God's wrathful judgement.

Could the Pre and mid trib rapture folks be wrong? Sure. But I loathe the idea that each person get's to use Scripture in some allegorical fashion as what enters their minds and imaginations. That's what the Amil crowd does.

Still my brothers and sisters. Let's not forget that!

First of all, what is the church? It is a body of believers. The church of Christ is the many-member body of the faithful. Ok, the Rapture doctors state that the Church is not mentioned after {Rev 4:1}, but then our Sunday-schooler opens his/her Bible to the last chapter in the book of Revelation, the sixth verse from the end of the Bible even, to Jesus Christ's last recorded words*, and reads:

Rev 22:16 (Jesus' last recorded words*)
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (KJV) The notions are not based on scripture, or language. The word “Air as utilized doesn’t refer to oxygen and nitrogen. And the Greek is clear. But people don’t care about the Greek.
It’s a new age itchy ear proposal.

The question is:

WHEN is the Church.

And show me any place in Revelation chapter 6 thru 19 and where the term "Christian" or "Church" is mentioned.
And who are the 24 Elders of Rev 4 & 5? Remember, ch 4 & 5 come before ch 6.

These verses come to mind….

Daniel 2:34,45 KJV
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Daniel 2:44 KJV
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

[45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Actually there are various views on this subject. Some believe it takes place in heaven and others on the earth. Read the 4th paragraph from the following site: https://www.gotquestions.org/marriage-supper-Lamb.html It places the supper in heaven. Personally, (a post tribulation believer) thinks it takes place on earth.

IN GOD THE SON,

The more I study the matter, the more I conclude that the pre-trib rapture is Biblically boilerplate doctrine.
Not to mention hearing/watching the post-tribbers aimless inconclusive error-filled ramblings, which conclusively DISPROVE their case.

At this point I am "all in". For me its all over but the waiting part.

CHuckle!!! Unless there IS ONE after all. Time will tell.

Why are you pre-tribers avoiding post 367 about the first resurrection?

Again. Seems pretty plain to me. If people can get out of their "thousand yrs just means long time" or, "We're in the thousand yrs now" or any variation thereof.

Jesus will, just as the angel Gabriel promised Mary, (yeah, that's not allegory either) physically reign for a thousand years AFTER the Great Tribulation, with the Saints that were raptured AND those that became Saints DURING the Tribulation.

A LOT of people will be born during that thousand year reign. At the END of the Thousand year Reign, Satan will be loosed, and he will deceive a huge number of those that were born during the thousand year reign.

Remember, those people will live for many hundreds of years Isaiah tells us. So there's going to be an enormous number.

At the end of that, Jesus will simply wipe them all out, and THEN the New Heavens and Earth and Jerusalem will be.

And THEN the final judgement.

There. You've been answered. Yet somehow thinking you ain't gonna like the answer.

Was not Christ the first to resurrect? The resurrection has three parts. It is likened to a harvest.

1. Firstfruits = Jesus
2. Gathering = the body of Christ
3. The gleanings = the tribulation saints

Nice try but you did not address the first resurrection.

Are you saying the first resurrection began with Jesus and will not conclude until Jesus returns ?Don't you see how ridiculous that is?

Was Jesus the first to resurrect? Or those only found in Revelation 20? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?
