No, it really means saints. The resurrected saints of God will be as angels and no longer marrying. But will not be angels of God.Then Jude 1:14? Enoch "Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints," Yet over the years heard "that really means angels".
Mar 12:25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Correct. The dead saints resurrect first, and the living saints change immortal, and they altogether rise to meet the Lord in the air.Ok praise God. I then read after Christ rose went up (ooh yes shouting time) 1st Thess 4 Christ comes with those that died in Christ ( not angels) dead rise when that are alive get caught up to be with Him forever.
Me neither. It's just a traditional Christian term for passionately caught up to meet the Lord.Rapture...that has never bothered me .
Well then if I keep reading it seems something is stopping in the way holding back the lawless one only when He/it is taken out of the way does the lawless one come out in the open doing things oddly he cannot do now. Hmm odd
Correct. So long as there are honest people, that a deceiver still needs to placate, then the power-seeking leader must hold back from their true desire to be as God, rather than just 'represent' Him. That's why cults end without honest believers, and only the die-hard followers remain to watch their great leader now openly playing God:
2Th 2:7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed...Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
