†...So how will we gather back to our Lord Jesus?...† OR
†...What Happens at the 7th Trump?...†
Rev 11:15 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (KJV) This trump sound the return of Chris† and begins the millennium reign of our King and our Saviour. ________________ ________________
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with a voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1Thess. 4:16-17)
Them,refers to those who are already there, all of those dead in flesh,but in spirit bodies, and with Chris†. (1 Thess. 4:14) (Rev. 19:14) Why will we MEET them? Because they are already there in the spirit with the Lord, we cannot precede them.
Why are we all changed into our spirit body?
Now this I say brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. ...In a moment (not at any moment, but at the 7th trump!!) in the twinkilng of an eye,(in the snap of your fingers, (just that fast) at the last trump: (The 7th trump is the last trump!)...(Not one second before)... for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.(from the flesh to spirit). For this corruptible (The flesh) must put on incorruption(spirit body), and this mortal,(A soul liable to die) must put on immortality,(A soul not liable to die).
This happens at the first resurrection for some, and at the second resurrection for some others. So when this corruptible(flesh) shall have put on incorruption(spirit) and this mortal(Soul, liable to die) shall have put on immortality (a soul not liable to die) Again either the first or second resurrection), then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. ( 1 Cor.15:50-54)
Putting on incorruption is automatic in that it happens to all on earth at the same instant, at the 7th trump. It takes no effort on our part. It happens according to the plan of God, it marks the beginning of the millennium. The return of our Lord....(Rev.11:15)
At the 7th trump the dead will rise first because they are already with him. Then we who are still alive shall be changed from flesh to spirit body, to meet them who are already in the spirit body, together with our Lord. .. Then the millennium!
Behold I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. (1Cor. 15:51) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump,for the trumpet shall sound (trump of God, 1 Thess 4:16) and the dead shall be raised incorriptible (1Thess. 4:16) and we shall all be changed. (1Thess. 4:17)....... 1 Cor. 15:52
So in just two scriptures Paul answers with clarity and simplicity, three pertinent questions concerning the return of our Lord. 1. How?... In the spirit body.1Cor. 15:51 2.Who?.....ALL. 1Cor. 15:51,,, Why all?.... 1Cor. 15:50 3 When?...At the 7th trump. 1 Cor 15:52
It Cannot happen at Any moment, and it will not be of christians only.... Our Lord Jesus is not making a special trip seven years before it is written just to satisfy the vain imaginations of the rapture teachers... who think there might be some heat to take, during tribulations, and can't stand the thought. Mainly because they again err in their understanding of tribulations. There will be two tribulations, one from satan, that is the deceit..... And the second tribulations are from God, but not directed at his children. These second set of tribulations are directed at those who hate Him. So call it what you like but we will gather back to our Lord when and how it is written in the word of God....not in the books of man!
Intended or not, the effect of the rapture doctrine was and continues to be a financial boon to the christian church. It teaches that unless one is a christian they will be left behind to be tortured, tormented, and finally die a terrifying death. All of this is necessary, they say, in order to go to heaven. So hurry up and come forward, no time to think about it, because Jesus might even come back before I'm finished, .....is what they say.
As servants of the living God we must all do our part to unravel this web of deceit. I for one have repented for believing it without doing my own study ever so carefully in the word of God. Praise be to God for common sense, wisdom, and truth, we must search it out. The rapture doctrine is a fairytale for some, and a horror story for others, but to no one God's truth! It is not the word of God. Except in the vain imagination of man.!The entire scenerio of the rapture throry, is totally absurd when lined up with the word of God. __________ __________
Study it for yourself! I beseech you in the name of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ, to search the word of God, for there only will you find the truth of God.
Please receive this with the love in which it was written, In the service of our Lord Jesus
