So the blood has already been shed by Christ, which is now past tense.  No future blood needs to be shed for Repentance.  No one needs to go through anything.  It was all completed at the Cross.  Tribulation for the Saints/Church has been going on for the past 2000 years.  Tribulation on the unjust will happen during this 70th Week.

No so fast brother,

Not until after the last martyr has been killed, which will mark the end of the first resurrection or the resurrection of the just (righteous).

Revelation 6: 9-11

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: (10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (11) And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

 

Revelation 20:4-6

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (5) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The completion of the First Resurrection is not until after the Mill, when those born during this time have the last chance to follow Satan in the final battle or to follow Christ.  Then those who followed Christ will receive their incorruptible bodies.

 

The Seal, Trumpet and Bowl judgements are for the unjust.  Yes those martyred during the first 3 1/2 years will receive their new bodies.  Yet they are not the Bride.  Those under the Altar are only those beheaded for Christ.  Where are the rest who were not beheaded?  Why are only this very select group here under the Altar?  Maybe it is to give Mormons, JW's and a few other cults a last chance to stand for the real Jesus Christ.  Why do those under the Altar ask for vengeance for their blood?   Jesus Christ covered all ours at the Cross.  We are to ask for forgiveness, not vengeance. Forgive 70 times 7.  It does not matter what for.

 

If a Christians wife was murdered, He should say, hang'em.  He is a no good scoundrel, let him die.  If someone steals one of your prize possessions, put'em in jail.  If a Christians house burns down, what is their response.  Anger or whatever to God; God owns it all, we are just stewards of what God allows us to have. Look into the life of Job.  Circumstances are circumstances.

 

Those under the Altar are not the Bride, for we see only one thing out of their mouths; avenge our blood.

Say

 

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. Deuteronomy 32:35

 

What~!

 

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19

 

Say The LORD He Is LORD

 

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. Deuteronomy 32:43

True, but the point is if you died today, where would your soul be?  In Heaven with Jesus.  Where is Jesus seated?  On His throne in Heaven.  Where did He make a place for us?  In the Fathers house.  Now the question to be asked; Is the Fathers house under the Altar?

Thanks for giving actual verses. Furthermore the bible says the beast conquers the saints for 42 months (3.5 years):

Rev 13: The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them.

Also Satan, the dragon tries to destroy the woman who is protected for 1260 days (3.5 years). Instead Satan wars against Christians:

Rev 12: Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

Also the little horn (the antichrist) oppresses the holy people for a time, times and half a time (3.5 years):

Daniel 7: He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

Also the power of the holy people is broken for 3.5 years until the resurrection:

Daniel 12: “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”

Hmmm, this seems to be a powerful biblical theme, confirmed again and again and again. Of course bible prophecy is subjective, but to me its the most obvious prophecy in the bible, that Christians will undergo 3.5 years of intense persecution for the last 3.5 years. Its known as the great tribulation.

How does burning on crosses sound; this happened under Nero to light up the streets to Rome.  How does having your whole family killed one by one in front of you until you renounce Jesus, already happens.  How about being boiled in oil, torn to pieces by wild animals, already has happened, for some are promised severe persecution.  Saul severely persecuted the Church.

 

You have your timing backwards during the 70th Week.  These tribulation saints go into captivity during the first 3 1/2 years and many are killed during this time per Rev 13:10.  Israel is pursued by Satan during the last 3 1/2 years, per Matt 24: 15-22.  and Rev 12:6, 13-17

 

These tribulation saints going into captivity means they become slaves.  They cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast, but their new masters/owners can buy food for them when they work. Those who are old or in poor health get the ax.  Of no use for slave labor.  IMHO most above 45 years old get the ax.  Young children will go into prostitution; and this is the first 3 1/2 years

 

Then during the last 3 1/2 years there is the 3rd Seal (severe famine).  Here even those masters/owners with the mark of the beast on them will have to work to eat,  food is scarce, anyone who went into captivity will surely die by starvation.  Another thing to remember, we as the Bride/Church are not the offspring of Israel.  So Satan does not pursue us.

 

The first 3 1/2 years will be tough on fence sitters, those left behind, for they will get a second chance to believe. Yet Israel will flourish during these first 3 1/2 years, then the great distress happens for the final 3 1/2 years.  And all of mankind did not repent of the work of their hands, worshiping demons and idols.

Very true, brother!

Remember also, that the remnant (one-third) of the Jews will escape by fleeing to the mountains.

Matthew 24:15-21

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

Then sometime after the remnant escapes to the mountains, those days of tribulation will be shortened for the sake of the elect (chosen), which are the remnant of believers or those who are ready when the Son of man appears.  This must happen to fulfill (1 Thes. 4:17), otherwise no flesh would be saved, and the beast would overcome the entire body of Christ (all those that will return to reign with Christ at the second coming). 

 

Matthew 24:22

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, the shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

 

Where the eagles gather around the dead bodies (Jerusalem) shows where the Lord will descend to in the clouds, like the lightning flashing from east to west, to meet His faithful servants in the air, those who are ready.  

 

Matthew 24:29-31

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Many believe the passage above is the second coming, but it is actually the rapture, for judgment begins with the house of the Lord (1 Pet. 4:17). The second coming to the earth won't happen until Christ returns to judge the nations (Matt. 25:31), separating the sheep and goats. The goats will be cast into the fire and the sheep will enter into the millennial kingdom in their mortal bodies and be ruled over by Christ and His returning saints, which includes the saints who are ready (taken), and the saints who are not ready and (left) to be martyred (overcome by the beast) .  The goats are destroyed (wrath) right after the Lord rewards with His saints and faithful servants as seen in the passage below.  

 

Revelation 11:18

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.

 

Lets continue, shall we:

 

Matthew 24:36-51

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and

would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Of course this is not going to be popular, especially with the pre-trib fans out there.  Nevertheless, this is my theory in a nutshell and I'm stickin' to it. :mgbowtie:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Many believe the passage above is the second coming, but it is actually the rapture, for judgment begins with the house of the Lord (1 Pet. 4:17). The second coming to the earth won't happen until Christ returns to judge the nations (Matt. 25:31), separating the sheep and goats. The goats will be cast into the fire and the sheep will enter into the millennial kingdom in their mortal bodies and be ruled over by Christ and His returning saints, which includes the saints taken who are ready, and the saints who are not ready and left to be martyred (overcome by the beast) .  The goats are destroyed (wrath) right after the Lord rewards with His saints and faithful servants as seen in the passage below.  

 

Revelation 11:18

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.

 

Lets continue, shall we:

 

Matthew 24:36-51

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and

ould not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Of course this is not going to be popular, especially with the pre-trib fans out there.  Nevertheless, this is my theory in a nutshell and I'm stickin' to it. :mgbowtie:

 

Cheers

 

Please provide scripture and explaination that the goats are cast into the fire immediately at Jesus second coming 

What is the purpose of the second resurrection and and who resurrected in this resurrection ?
