The Millennium Promise

Paul teaches otherwise:

What Paul teaches in 1 Cor 15:22, is the martyrs killed during the 42 month period of world control by Satan. Proved by Revelation 20:4  Also his Prophecy in 1 Cor 15:50-56, plainly refers to what will happen at the GWT Judgment; after the Millennium. 

You quoted:   The Lord comes in clouds, every eye sees him, the dead are raised, the elect ascend, the Jews are converted, the heathen wail, the Wrath begins.

Is this a Bible verse or have you just made it up to suit your beliefs?

What Paul teaches there is the res of the dead "at His Parousia."  15:23 The same Parousia foretold in Matt. 24:3, 27 and   1 Thes. 4:15 and 2 Thes. 2:1 etc. But NOT in Rev. 2o!

That is a quick summary of prophesied events to take place at Christ's 6th Seal Parousia.

So the Bible contradicts itself!

I vehemently disagree. Paul never says 'ALL' the dead....... Only mortal humans will populate the earth during the Millennium. Proved by Isaiah 65:20, Zechariah 14:16

That summary is a bunch of wishful thinking and scriptural error. 

The Lord WILL Return in the clouds and all those alive then, will see Him. Then the dead martyrs of the 42 month reign of the Anti-Christ will be raised, the elect will be gathered to Him in Jerusalem, the Christian Jews: the surviving remnant, with them, the heathen are all dead and the wrath of God is all over before Jesus Returns.  Revelation 15:1

Jesus did.

John 5:[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, [29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

People 'hide from the face' of Jesus after the 6th seal has been opened. That is when the revelation of His Parousia/Presence begins again in the world, and God's Wrath begins. Rev. 6:16-17

In that Prophecy, Jesus is referring to the Great White Throne Judgment. As described in Revelation 20:11-15, the final Judgment of everyone who has ever lived.  

Nowhere does scripture say anyone other than the GT martyrs will be resurrected when Jesus Returns.

Right, the Sixth Seal is the next prophesied event that will take place. It sets the scene for all the rest that must happen before Jesus Returns. About 10 years later. 

Placing the Sixth Seal at the Return, makes you guilty of shuffling Revelation. Not a good idea to mess with that Book.

Dan. 12:-3, 1Cor. 15, & 1 Thes. 4:14ff. all day that. Which verses you reject in their context.

It places everything in proper order. The saints who are raptured at the 6th Seal are the ones "who came out of the GT" in 7:14.

However you have to view it; there is no scripture that that says there will be a general resurrection of dead people when Jesus Returns. 

But many verses show that will happen after the Millennium. A logical and sensible thing, when Eternity commences and mortal humanity ceases.

The Book of Revelation does have the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls in their correct order. Explain how a scroll can be opened before all the seals are removed. 

The 'saints' dressed in white robes, Revelation 7:14, are those people who stood firm in their faith and trusted the Lord for their protection, during the just happened Sixth Seal worldwide disaster.  They are not in heaven and are not immortal, as yet.

Because they are opened in serial order, not parallel.

They stand before God's heavenly throne among the angels and 24 elders and they are not in heaven? Please.

The Seals, Trumpets and Bowls will be opened in the order they are Written. Why not?

Thinking that God's Throne is confined to heaven is your mistake.  Ezekiel 1:1 saw it while standing by the river Kebar. Stephen saw it - Acts 7:36

The entire chapter of Revelation 7, is all about earthly events. From the gathering of all the faithful Christians to Jerusalem, Rev 7:1-14, Ezekiel 36:8-12; to the Eternal state. Revelation 7:15-17 Paralleled by Revelation 21:1-7

Revelation never speaks of God's temple & throne as being in any other place than in heaven. Wherein John was "caught up" to, where he saw the elders and angels, whom the Rev. 7:9-14 saints stand in the midst of. That is far different than them merely seeing heaven in vision, as Ezekiel & Stephen did.

You cannot provide any evidence (other than solely your word) that the temple they serve "in" is earthly, when such is never said in Revelation. Quite the contrary!
