I believe the angels are instructed to gather the TARES first.
The words of little men are of no interest to me===total waste of time!!! I trust the eternal inspired(God breathed) living Word of God!!
I think id rather be left behind like Noah and his family rather than to be taken away like everyone else who was taken away by the flood.
Noah and the other 7 weren't left behind as you suppose, but rather lifted up above the storm that raged below; life was above and death was below. In like manner, the righteous will be lifted up by the Ark of safety (Jesus) on Rapture day as the storm will rage below. Woe to those who are left behind! Hearts will be failing the multitudes! The day of the Lord's vengeance has come.
The catching up of believers (rapture) is NOT the same event as the return of Jesus to earth to destroy evil and set up His kingdom here!!
Read and believe God's Word on the catching up (rapture)!!
1Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep(died), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Thessalonians 4:15 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.
1Thessalonians 4:16 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:
1Thessalonians 4:17 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.
1Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.===============Caught up IS the rapture!! PTL.
ROFL!!! Get some help understanding Bible prophecy!!
Believers that have died are absent from the body and present with God and those believers sprits Jesus will bring with Him and dead and living will be changed in the twinkle of the eye and receive new immortal bodies!!====1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will ""God bring with him"".
Luke 21:36 Jesus tells believers ==Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
I am posting God's Word to you about the very soon rapture ==your choice believe it or reject it!!
