Shalom, I would like to bring up another position that you bring up often about the Seventh Trump of Revelation and the Last Trump in 1 Cor. 15:52 that says the Rapture occurs. The last trump is not the seventh trump of Revelation.
In Revelation, the trumpets are trumpets that are sounded by angels to announce judgements on the world. In contrast, 1 Cor. 15 is the trumpet of the Lord, and it has nothing to do with judgement but rather with the rapture of the Church. Furthermore, the arguement that the seventh trumpet is the last trump and therefore coincides with 1 Cor. 15:52 overlooks the fact that there is still a future trumpet in Matthew 24:31 which signals the gathering of the saints at the beginning of the Millennium. Some attempt to find the rapture in Matthew 24, where the rapture does not occur. The taking of one and the leaving of another refers to the ones who will be taken in judgement at the Second Coming, not to the Rapture that will remove the saints. One of the important principles to be kept in view is distinguishing the prophesies that relate to Israel from the prophesies that relate to the Church and its program. My major concern about your views is that it robs the Church of expectancy as far as the Rapture is concerned. Another is the mishandling of Revelation in an attempt to find the Rapture somewhere in the period of the seven seals.
A good understanding of what happens in the Great Tribulation and the terrible judgements that will fall in that period make any thought of the Church's going through this period unthinkable.
Read John 14 and then thank God for the blessed hope of Christ's imminent return to rapture His own and we can all share in the Marriage of the Lamb.
Respectfully,
James
