...but see them ALL as being distinct, with distinct PURPOSES (and wholly distinct time-slots). I see the "LAST" trumpet (at which "our Rapture" takes place) is associated rather with the LAST TIME that "The FIRST and the LAST" [Person(Rev1:10-11)]'s voice spake like a Trumpet... and THAT...

...being gathered... and then you will begin to grasp that these persons are NOT "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" (US) NOR is it speaking of "our Rapture [IN THE AIR--with its destination LOCATION being disclosed in 1Th3:13! UP THERE!]--In EVERY WAY *DISTINCT* from that of Matt24:29-31 / Isaiah...

...AC doesn't "sitteth" IN US!, as some like to suggest); ____________ Once "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" departs this earth in "our Rapture [IN THE AIR; headed to 1Th3:13's destination!]," there is NO "temple" located on the earth at that point... so NOTHING prevents 2Th2:4 /...

[well, first of all... not ALL of the people who will come to faith FOLLOWING "our Rapture" when they find themselves IN the Trib yrs will [100% of them] BE MARTYRED; no, SOME will survive CLEAR TO THE END, and will ENTER the MK age in their mortal bodies--For example: Dan12:12 "BLESSED is he...

...AND REMAIN" means "remain/s TO THE END OF THE TRIB YRS" time-slot (but it does not mean that--it is his pre-supposition [of a POST-trib Rapture event] that demands such a meaning ;) ). [I believe people often MISS the fact that 1Th4:13-17 is in the CONTEXT OF 1Th3:13--the...

...Luke 17 (where the example of Noah / "as the days of Noah were, SO SHALL"... is given), I do NOT believe he's [shown as] an example of "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" time-slot; but instead, those who will exist in the Trib yrs and who will ENTER the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial...

...Because He will be an "ALREADY-WED Bridegroom" at that time-slot (when he "RETURNS" to the earth Rev19) 2) There is likewise only "ONE" RAPTURE [IN THE AIR], and it pertains SOLELY TO "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" (not to all other saints of all OTHER time periods: not to OT saints, not to...

......where the words "PUT ON [G1746]" refers to our being clothed with our "glorified [perfected] bodies" (at the time-slot of "our Rapture"), and which word [G1746] is used also in 2Cor5:3 where there it is emphasizing the "still-alive" portion of the "One Body" (whereas "unclothed" in that...

...but the time of the "BEMA" (for awards / rewards)... when we (the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY) will ALL be present there (i.e. following "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]"). [I often refer to the example of the "24 elders" shown wearing the ALREADY-AWARDED "stephanous / crowns"... and note the...

...is what the disciples' LATER question to Jesus in Matt24:3 was BASED ON (what He had ALREADY SPOKEN to them about in Matt13 re: "the end [singular] of the age [singular]")... and His response follows, in 2 Chpts (24-25)--BTW, this is in the EXACT OPPOSITE SEQUENCE from that of "our Rapture"...

...any hell?" Now, to be clear, I do NOT see the "taken" [and "left"] verses (Mt24:40-41 / Lk17:34-35 ^ ) to be speaking of "taken in our Rapture" (I believe "taken" in these texts refers to those "taken away IN JUDGMENT" just as in Noah's day... IOW, it was NOT Noah who "knew not until," it...

...time (which precedes Rev19's time-slot), which ALSO uses the "PUNISH [H6485]" wording (and no I do not see this passage as pertaining to "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" as some do): "For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish [H6485] the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity...

...I'm NOT making the point that you are suggesting I was making. = ) (My point HERE had nothing whatsoever to do with the distinction in timing between "our Rapture [G726] [IN THE AIR]" and His "Return" to the earth... I'm not covering that in these two recent posts to you... Just to be clear.)

...recall your stance on this particular issue: --[if you don't mind refreshing my memory on your viewpoint on this] Do you believe that more people will [/will be able to] come to faith AFTER "our Rapture"? (or that no one can / will... iow, no further people will be saved following "our...

Yes, because "the Church which is His body" (that's us) to/for/about whom the "Rapture [/caught up - G726]" solely pertains, is not the "WHEAT" harvest. = )

I had said, [1Th4:17] "SO [/in this manner] shall we ever be WITH [G4862 - UNIONed-WITH] the Lord"... that occurs at [the time of] "our Rapture" (NOT at the 7 yrs LATER Rev19 time-slot, when He is getting ready to return to the earth in that scene). IOW, we don't hang out with Him for 7 years...
