Well, that verse shows his "intention / aim / objective"... but he's not successful in his endeavor entirely, otherwise 1) Rev15:2 couldn't say (as it does) "...them that GOT THE VICTORY OVER the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name..." ; Now while it is...

He's suggesting the [faulty] idea of a "general resurrection" (except for the 3.5-yr [second half of Trib] beheaded martyrs ALONE); at which time "judgment OF ALL" takes place at the GWTj. Supposedly that "believers"/saints (of all times--EXCEPT the final 3.5 yrs) WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO "the...

The "REST" of the dead spoken on IN THAT CONTEXT (19:21 "REMNANT / REST were SLAIN"--the UNSAVED--and v.18c "ALL"--the UNSAVED! [existing on the earth at that point in the chronology]) "THIS is the resurrection the first [ADJ]" (v.5b)... is not saying, "this [what you see in v.4b] is the...

The phrase "the REST of the dead" (per this context) refers to: --"and the REMNANT [same Grk word] were *slain*" - 19:21 (i.e. they are UNSAVED / unbelievers--they will NOT be ENTERING the MK age upon His RETURN to the earth Rev19); --... and this ALSO includes (who the "fowls" are told to...

Right. But they are not THE ONLY ONES who "reign" with Christ. (See Rev5:9-10 / 1:5-6 / 2:26-27). The ones being spoken of in 20:4b (you are quoting) are simply the last ones to be *killed / martyred / beheaded* [in 2nd HALF of Trib] (and resurrected in time FOR the MK age); The ones in 20:4a...

The word "FIRST [ADJ]" in this passage does not carry the meaning of "first IN TIME"... but first IN QUALITY. We know this, because the sentence, saying "THIS is the resurrection the first [adj]" has the word "THIS" pointing back to what v.4b was talking about: those martyred/beheaded/killed...

In Acts 3 (after Jesus' resurrection and ascension), Peter, speaking to "ye men of Israel," says to the people, "The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob... hath glorified His Servant Jesus; whom YE delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate... But YE denied the Holy One and...

Philippians 3:20-21 states, 20For our [l]citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformity with His glorious body [/the body of His glory], by the exertion of the power that He has...

--the text (re: the part I put in BLUE ^ ) speaks specifically of "the dead IN CHRIST" (note: "IN CHRIST" [/ "IN HIM"] is a NT designation); --the text in 1Cor15:22b-23a (re: resurrection) says specifically, "... even so *in Christ* shall [FUTURE TENSE] all be made alive. 23 But [conjunction]...

Again, you are not reading this text correctly (as I've explained in several posts, to you, already). BOTH the [then] now-resurrected ['to stand again' (on the earth)] members of the Church which is His body (the ones who've DIED prior to the time being spoken of), AND the "we which are ALIVE...

And yet, 1 Corinthians 15:23 says, "[re: resurrection] BUT each IN HIS OWN ORDER / RANK" (which your viewpoint has no explanation for, treating these words as superfluous and meaningless); ... and [your viewpoint] by having all saints resurrected [and raptured, to return] "ON the last...

Nor does it "work" to disregard 1Th3:13 (in the CONTEXT of 1Th4) simply because it doesn't happen to jive with "your [post-trib Rapture] take on things". ;) I'm going to say this in love and try to explain in such a way that you can grasp what I'm meaning... ... remember as a kid, doing one...

Correct! "shall be raised [future tense] incorruptible"--at the time-slot being referenced here! Yes, this [incorrect] notion (which many propose) indeed does cause confusion. Where scripture says, "the dead in Christ SHALL RISE first" (before we're "caught up" TOGETHER WITH them), it means...

When He returns (to the earth), yes. (Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44 [and parallel], "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding..." ...THEN "the meal [G347]" [on the earth / the EARTHLY MK age]--He will RETURN as an ALREADY-WED "Bridegroom" in these contexts); But Jesus ASCENDED TWO TIMES. Acts 1...

A couple of things to consider: --the text here states, "IN the last day"; --but the issue is, that this (which Jesus was covering, in several contexts in the gospels) was the same thing that Hosea 5:14-6:3's text ("after TWO days" and "IN the THIRD day") was speaking regarding... and those...

Disagree. One is PAST history (Dan11:31 in 165/167bc); the other is FUTURE [FAR-FUTURE] (Dan12:11) and the one Jesus was referencing specifically (AS "future"--"when ye SHALL SEE [future tense]...") I agree that Dan11:31 speaks of the PAST one (pertaining to "A4E"); But I DISAGREE that...

RESURRECTION [the one Jesus spoke of] will take place "IN the last day" (i.e. IN the last Millennium), not "ON the last [24-hour] day" (see Hosea 5:14-6:3's "after TWO days" and "IN the THIRD day" [these are not "singular 24-hr day" kind of days... though context speaking of a slightly...

^ @cv5 , yep... that's pretty much exactly what I've been saying... (for many years). :) ____________ Yeah, I believe it will correspond more with Jesus' FIRST ascension (on His Resurrection Day / ON Firstfruit--Lev23:10-12 / 1Cor15:20 / Jn20:17); and that His Second Coming TO THE EARTH...

...and as a side note to the above... Daniel 12:1-4,1 is parallel language to that found in: --Ezekiel 37:12-14,20-23 (the "dry bones" prophecy about Israel's future); --Hosea 5:14-6:3 (same); --Isaiah 26:13-21,19 (same); --Romans 11:15 "...what shall the receiving of them [Israel] be, but...

Our resurrected [and changed] bodies will be like His when He resurrected. Remember when: --He was ONLY SEEN by carefully chosen witnesses (not appearing to all people); --two of those were walking on the Road to Emmaus, when the following happened: "After that he appeared in another form unto...
