I never said and never have believed rev14;14‘Nothing here about the rapture or resurrection.
Sorry but you ignore the crystal clear irrefutable words of Jesus Christ and Paul to try and project your theory into a passage of scripture.
The second coming of Jesus Christ is when the resurrection and rapture takes place.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15
In the book of Revelation that occurs in Chapter 19, not 14.
is THE rapture of 1 thes 4.
Rev 14:14 just will not go away via doctrinal attempts.
Way too much to hide and invent.
The facts that won't go away;
1) They are gathered and Preceeded by First-fruits Jews.( that are gathered to heaven.)
2) They are NOT preceeded by FIRSTFRUITS JESUS.( another twist to their dynamic).
This really speaks volumes as the 144,000 ARE NOT FIRSTFUIT JESUS. THEY ARE A UNIQUE FIRSTFRUITS.
3) They are gathered by JESUS sitting on a cloud holding a SICKLE.
Definately NOT THE SECOND COMING ON HORSES.
4) They are gathered during the trib and before the wrath
5) They are implied to have gone to heaven (due to the fact the Firstfruit 144,000 are ALREADY in heaven as a HARVEST, so the Jewish main harvest automatically follows them to heaven)
6) 1 Thes 4 tells us nobody precedes the dead in christ raised.....so that ends everything but a pretrib rapture.
