Just to give some background on my thinking . . .
Those who are "in Christ" will be caught up from the earth to meet with Jesus in the sky, whether alive or dead at the time. This is the resurrection and transformation of this group of people.
We know that the OT faithful will likewise be resurrected on the "last day". Daniel is told, he will stand in his allotment at the end of the days. He had just been told about the 1260, and the 1335 days.
Daniel 12:11-13 KJV
11) And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12) Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13) But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
At the end of these 1335 days, Daniel will be resurrected to his inheritance.
Is this the same resurrection as at the rapture of the church?
Many people associate the rapture of the church with the gathering of the chosen in Matthew 24. Simply stated, if this were so, then the righteous gentiles would have been gathered at the same time, leaving none to participate in the sheep/goats judgment.
There is the matter of the judgment of those sheep, being declared righteous, citing the cause being their works, not their faith. We need to be able to account for these things.
We need to have our ecclesiology correct. The wedding feast is a great example. Is this the church being wed to Jesus? The Bible uses the weding relationship as a simile of our relationship with Jesus, but then goes on to say that it's because of our relationship with Jesus that marriage exists in the first place. The Bible does tell us that Israel was wed to God, divorce, and will be remarried to Him.
The wedding feast . . . heaven or earth? Earth, because many will come from the east and west, and north and south. Terrestrial compass points are not used of heaven, only earth.
The sealing of the 144,000, these are "the servants of God", indicating there aren't others. Where did the rest go? And then there we are, before the throne, and before the plagues.
The 70th week . . . it is the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. Jacob.
There really is a lot to this, but I wanted to give a better idea of some of my thinking. I'm hoping I did.
Much love!
