Factor in 1 thes 4.

The dead proceed the living
In 1 Thessalonians 4, the dead-in-Christ rise first - and then, along with the still-living saints - are caught up together. All are born-again believers.

Revelation 14:16 is referring to born-again believers. Revelation 14:19 is referring to lost people.

The statement in the verse implies an all-inclusive group; therefore, it would have to represent a moment in time at some point after the GT.
Nope.
It STATES the opposite.

Not only that the saints are not in heaven after the gt. ALL ARE GONE. read rev 19.
Do you really think that Revelation 7:9-14 illustrates a scene in which "more will arrive later"...???

You want to show me where it [actually] STATES the opposite? Yeah - I wanna see that...

Do you see that Revelation 11:19, Revelation 15:5, and Revelation 19:11 coincide (same event/time) - and, represent a Pre-Wrath event in time?

Yes.

Like I said, now factor in the dead in Christ rising.

Not all inclusive because they "...came out of great tribulation."

Only those coming from the great tribulation....not all inclusive

Let this sink in --- Revelation 14:16 is talking about the Rapture and Revelation 14:19 is talking about everyone else (who is left after the Rapture) being "thrown into" the 'Wrath of God'.
No dead in Christ raised in rev 14.
So ,no it is not the rapture depicted in 1 thes 4

Yes, when Jesus appears visibly, gloriously, experientially, and cacophonically in the clouds as the Lord's shout, voice, and trumpet all sound at His Second Coming, that is when the "rapture" of the saints happens, according to 1 Thess. 4:14-18, right or wrong?
Lol rev 14 has a Jesus gathering of ripe fruit during the gt.

Pssst...that would be before you say the dead are raised.

The gathering of the church and the Lord's return to the earth to end the age, are two separate events, with different purposes. When He comes for the church, He descends to atmosphere and calls up the dead. After that, we who still here and still alive will be caught up with them. At that point the entire church from beginning to end will be gathered in the air, where in fulfillment of John 14:1-3, the Lord will take His bride back to the Father's house to those places that He went to prepare for us. Our gathering must take place in order to remove us from the earth prior to the on-set of God's wrath, which begins at the opening of the first seal.

The other event is when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age and His called, chosen and faithful followers will be with Him, which will be the church/bride who will have previously been resurrected and caught up.



Well, at least you are consistent in that you are batting a 100% with wrong interpretations! You are right, I will not get into a discussion about Antiochus being the little horn of Daniel, because he isn't. The imposing horn mentioned in Dan.7, is that future antichrist/beast. Regarding him, it states that "He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High for time, times and half a time, which is referring to the last 3 1/2 years of that seven year period, which is also referred to in Rev.13:5-7, when the beast, that horn, is given authority to make war and conquer the great tribulation saints for 42 months, which is also referring to that last 3 1/2 years.

You need unlearn what you have learned from this false teaching, which I have heard and contended against many other times. This is a known false teaching. And by these teachings, you are continuing to spread the lies.
Imagine that,
A thief coming with a huge army in glory with a trumpet blast and destroying evil with fire proceeding from him.
And every eye shall see him.


"...as a thief"
Could be you need to re examine that dynamic...if that is where you are designating a smoking gun.

Iow one or 2 verses are not placed in the bible to trump 6 or 8 others.

You are trying to frame a doctrine over isolating verses.

Good day, Absolutely!

I'm not quite understanding your post. Are you responding to me and if so, could you elaborate. Or are you responding to phoneman777 through my post?

Thanks!

When I said all-inclusive (with regard to the scene in Revelation 7:9-14), I meant that - everyone who will ever be included in the group in the scene is already there in the scene.

The statement made by the elder in verse 14 refers to the all-inclusive group that came out of "great tribulation" - all of the tribulation - the whole tribulation - not just a part of it.

No dead in Christ raised in rev 14.
So ,no it is not the rapture depicted in 1 thes 4
Of course they are - the time is come - the harvest is ripe - the dead, the living - everyone who belongs to Christ.

Do you know why the last part of Revelation 14:15 is stated the way it is? Do you know why "the time is come" and "the harvest ... is ripe" (i.e. - Do you know what mark in time is this referring to?).

Lol rev 14 has a Jesus gathering of ripe fruit during the gt.

Pssst...that would be before you say the dead are raised.
Pssst... The dead-in-Christ are included. And, that would be - after the GT.

Just pointing out that the second coming is not like a thief.

Only in that they are not expecting it.

Revelation 14:16 is referring to born-again believers. Revelation 14:19 is referring to lost people.
Or perhaps it is saying the dead are resurrected first, then those who outlived the resurrection are caught up with them when they die? Perhaps Paul assumed they would understand that you have to die first before you can go to heaven which is the way it has been for nearly 2,000 years. This would then agree with Heb 9:27. I don't like conflicting passages.

That sure is a long time for the Lord to be waiting around in the clouds...

No conflict. The bodies of flesh of those who are alive at the Resurrection die as the saints take on their new "glorified" bodies.

You seem to be quite confused.

According to Scripture the Resurrection/Rapture is ONE EVENT in two phases but within the twinkling of an eye (in nanoseconds). The saints who had died will be resurrected and receive glorified bodies (having been perfected), while the saints who are alive at that time will be transformed, perfected, glorified. All of this is supernatural and wrought be the power of God and Christ. It is also the culmination of salvation which is in three phases: (1) justification (2) sanctification, and (3) glorification.

At the Resurrection/Rapture Christ does NOT descend to earth but comes "in the air", and then returns with all the saints to Heaven, in anticipation of the Marriage of the Lamb.

At the same time, we need to see that the Bible speaks of "the First Resurrection" and (by implication) it means that there is a Second Resurrection.

The First Resurrection is for the righteous but it is actually in three phases (just like a Hebrew harvest): (1) Christ the First Fruits, (2) all the saints at the Resurrection/Rapture (the main harvest), and (3) the Tribulation saints (as the gleanings).

The Second (and last) Resurrection is for the unrighteous or unsaved dead. This happens at the Great White Throne Judgment.

Exactly
The 5 wise virgins leave their dwelling (earth)
Postribs need noah removed after the flood,lot removed after sodoms destruction,and the 5 wise virgins returning to the brides home.(since they believe in the rapture uturn in the sky)
So far off it is comical.

They further need the one left on the rooftop to be taken also, in their postrib rapture model , since they say the one taken is the wicked ones with the mark of the beast.
