Thank you for your reply. I was taught that Rev 14 does not occur AFTER the rapture, but that it IS the rapture in further details. And that the rapture occurs just before God pours out His wrath upon the earth. In Rev 6:15-17, John provides the evidence of when God's wrath begins as spoken of by the kings of the earth and others who were witnessing it. Chapter 7 identifies the two groups of people who got raptured, the 144,000 and the great multitude of gentiles. Chapter 8:5 describes the start of God's wrath followed by the Trumpet judgments of which John said in Rev 9:21 that they still did not repent. So then the 7 bowls of judgement (worse than the trumpet judgments) were poured out as described in chapter 15 and 16, and again John states in Rev 16:11 that they blasphemed God and still did not repent. So given all this, it appears to me that no one is saved once God's wrath begins. And as I stated in a previous response, if anyone is saved after God's wrath begins, wouldn't they miss out on the wedding feast in heaven and the Bema seat judgment that happens in heaven with all the believers before they come back to earth with Jesus at the second coming?
Thank you, good to hear from you!
I was taught to look at
Rev chapters 6-10 as the first 3 1/2 years of the last 7 year period before the 1,000 year reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And that
those on the earth who have overcome……
(Revelation 3:21 KJV
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.)
will be caught up…..
Revelation 12:2, 5 KJV
2. “Travailing in birth”
(Travailing to present (Col 1:28-29)
(Travailing to bring forth (Rev 2:25-27)
(Travailing that Christ be formed (Gal 4:19)
5. And she brought forth a man child,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
caught up unto God, and to his throne.
in the middle of the 7 year period.
In Rev chapter 10:7 we see…..
-The seventh trumpet.
-
The Mystery of God is finished
(Ephesians 5:32 KJV
This is a great
mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.)
Revelation 11:15,17-18 KJV
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.
[17] Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
[18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets,
and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Most Christians know that there are some who are left behind.
Here they are called….”the remnant of her seed”
But we see, now they realise that they have been left behind and had Not been living 💯 percent for God,
Now they fully repent, and keep the commandments of God.
Revelation 12:17 KJV
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with
the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I can write more, but the time does not permit ☺️
God be with you!
