the rapture???

Notice that this verse says every eye will see Him, even those that pierced Him. This would mean that all who are dead will be resurrected at the same time when Christ returns for at that time He will separate the sheep from the goats setting the sheep on His right hand and the goats on His left hand, Matthew 25:31-46. The one and only resurrection of the dead only happens when Christ returns on the last day, not during a 1000 year reign.

No, most of them have nothing to do with it and I pointed that out.

And I expect you do not understand scripture the way I do, being a futurist. You also do know know history in those years after John penned Revelation.

It’s too bad because it’s a totally inspiring matter to see how the words/revelation of Jesus the Christ was fulfilled. I found that my faith in Christ as King of Kings increased as I understood how He works.

If everything has been fulfilled as you believe, then why are we not sitting with Christ in the New Jerusalem.

I never said that. I said clearly that christ has not returned. The Resurrection has not occurred. He is sending out his messengers to gather his elect (through ordinary evangelism, not a sweeping.)

Because I know the scripture. I also know there is more of His interaction in the world of man to come before that day.

A ridiculous claim. No offense intended but that’s very presumptuous. It also requires a denial of the very scriptures you claim to know.

1Thess 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Thess 4:17 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.

Pretty sure those verses are in your Bible.

Well, if that response comforts you, what can I do? You asked a question and I answered it. Time will tell who was right.

I didn’t ask any question. I was commenting on your response to jerry63935. It’s also apparent that you have forum permissions to edit your posts after the fact without acknowledgment. Enjoy

The sign would be Noah building an ark for at that time it had never rained on earth before the flood. Instead of them asking why he was building an ark all the people did was mock him, rejecting God in whom I would only assume he tried to preach to them.

No scripture says that was a sign. A sign by definition has to communicate the warning. Since they had no idea what it meant, it wasn’t a sign. The scimitar over Jerusalem communicated and was, therefore a sign. Jesus, himself, didn’t say it was a sign.

Study the signs in the Bible…they all communicated. A virgin shall bear a son communicated that this was the Christ. When you see the armies surrounding Jerusalem, leave. That sign communicated. God doesn’t send “signs” no one can read.

The question was asked. I answered it. You could have tested instead of accused. When I encounter someone who claims to know something, I ask them questions to see those things they say be true.

You have been proclaiming through many of the threads that all things were fulfilled in 70AD. Care to explain that?

I agree the resurrection of the dead has not happened yet.

Gathering of the elect is that of the dead and those still alive at His coming, unless you reject what is written in Matthew 24:29-31 and Rev 14:14-20 as this is God sending out His angels to sweep the earth not to evangelize.
