Those are not the same people being raised from the dead if you bother to read both passages. Those are not the same event. They describe two completely different events. and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God These are not the same people as For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first When it states the dead in Christ rise first 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 Twice mentions first resurrection In Rev 20 in Christ will rise first ..... Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection in Christ will rise first But somehow Those are not the same event. We must "bother to read both passages. " Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection in Christ will rise first ......Ok then....not the same people???

Quote any Christian who is not a pretrib hates the blessed hope, by such remark, you've lowered all other Christians I didn't say that, either. You are adding to what I said.

I was once a pretribber who ridiculed those who "were too stupid to see that we are not appointed unto wrath". That's is your problem. Diaste leveled an untrue diatribe about all pre-tribbers that is untrue and he aimed it squarely at us and that basically falls into false accusations. And not only that, but he could not cite one person who actually said those things. Sometimes, pre-tribbers, because they are human, get passionate and err in the flesh and let their emotions get the better of them. And those who don't believe in the pre-trib do the same thing. It happens. But that is no reason to hoist a blanket condemnation the way Diaste against people here, who he knows didn't say those things.

You are manipulating scriptures to squeeze in the living amongst the dead to rapture inbetween dead christians After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

Which goes beyond your pretrib....because the last people to die recorded in scripture are the two witnesses.....the dead in Christ shall rise first....

It's really, really simple to understand. At the rapture, the dead in Christ, every Christian that ever lived, but is dead and buried, will rise first and we which remain will follow them to meet the Lord in the air. That is different than in Rev. 20: 4-6 where only the Tribulation believers, those who got saved during the Tribulation but were martyred or otherwise died in Christ will be raised.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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." (Rev 20:4-6) So there will a resurrection of the saints that occurs prior to the first resurrection and that is outlined for us here: "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. 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: 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."(1Th 4:13-17) If the Lord had put that extra resurrection in the Bible we wouldn't be having this debate, but since it's the pre-trib crowd that pencils the extra resurrection in just to make their doctrine sound like it has merit. I have to file that under suspect. I say the Bible has it right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
