I Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;"
Yep ^ True Scripture.
The Lord is going to descend, at the seventh trump [the last trump].
You start with an False Fact and build off that False Fact to arrive at a False Conclusion.
The Trump of God...Voice of the Archangel
IS NOT The SEVENTH or LAST Trump.
Pay attention TO the wording of the Facts Revealed.
1 Thes 4: 16
WHO- The Lord
WHAT- Descends
WHERE- from Heaven TO Clouds
SIGNAL- TRUMP of God
SOUND- Voice of Archangel
WHO- dead IN Christ
WHO- Alive IN Christ
WHAT- Bodily Rise Up
WHERE- To Clouds
WHY- TO Meet Their Lord
WHY-
* Prepared for Marriage Union
* Not subject to Wrath
(Wrath of Lamb/Wrath of devil/Wrath of God)
* WHY NOT?
(Already, Crucified: and MADE Whole, Body, soul, spirit. Sanctified, set apart, justified to Be Redeemend)
* IMMEDIATE Marriage- NO
* * MORE people ON Earth- To Become Saved & Quickened, During "Phases of Tribulation"...
(Wrath of Lamb/Partical Wrath of Devil)
are "To be Invited" (Spiritual Quickened ) Guests and participants in the Spiritual Wedding Feast...
(The Guests "out of the Tribulation:"
-Become Bodily Dead- Remain ON Earth
-Souls Saved Go to Heaven-Worship God
-Quickened Spirits- attend Wedding/Feast.)
The Phases of the Tribulation, in Brief:
* SEALS - Wrath of Lamb
* TRUMPS- Signals of mixture of Wraths/ Devil and God.
* VIALS- Gods Great Wrath POURED out ON Remaing World and Inhabitants Expressly Against God.
* Gods CUP- Poured out ON inhabitants-
-WHO-
*) Encouraged, promoted others to Reject God
*) Persecuted Believers IN The Lord God
* Signals Sounded BY the SEVEN Holy Angels
* Are NOT signals TO People!
* Are Signals Between Angel's!
* Are Signals For Angel's of WHEN to Releace Gods Wrath.
* ARE "Voice OF One Angel"... TO the other Angels.
* The Voice of ONE Angel to the Other Angels is for them TO Sound Their TRUMPS, that The other Angels KNOW "When and What" things are occurring. ( it is a communication Notice between Angels).
Men are simply Notified, prophetically, of HOW Gods servants (Angel's), will be Conducting Gods PLAN to Overcome, Defeat Destroy and have Victory Over Evil and Death.
There shall also be Spiritual Warfair- between Holy and Fallen Angels...that Human men are Foretold, but Will not See.
It is ... After Victory...the "RETURN" - (which you confused with the Lords DESCENT, and Trump of God, and Voice of Archangel)...
The RETURN...is EXPRESSLY- is the "RETURNING" of; what was "SENT".
•WHAT was Sent: The Word of God
•WHAT did men SEE: the Likeness of a Man
•WHAT was He Called: Jesus, Son of Man, Without Sin, He shall save men through His Word.
••WHAT was the FORE-Knowledge, that men were GIVEN...but Could NOT SEE?
*** He "Shall be" called the Son of God
*** He "Shall be" with Power
***He "Shall be Known" as Gods Christ Messiah
***He "Shall Teach"
***He "Shall Exalt the Heavenly Father God"
***His "Death Shall be sought"
***He "Shall Be Bodily Killed"
*** He "Shall rise from Bodily Death"
*** He "Shall Offer" Forgiveness to men, salvation of men's souls, Quickening of men's spirits, crucifixion of men with Him, Promise to Keep and Redeem men UNTO Him Forever.
*** Promise TO RETURN TO Earth...and RAISE UP ALL Bodies OF MEN (IN Faithfulness...IN uncorruptible Bodies)...
• WHO have Ever Physically Died, for Having Faithfulness TO God, (OT & Present adhering Tribes of ISRAEL), Having lived since The "Son of Man" first came to Earth, (NT & forward), Faithfulness IN God, IN Christ...Even during The Trib, (after "those" in Christ were Spiritually dead IN Christ and already Redeemed, Having Served with The Lord 1,000 years)...
THEN at the LAST TRUMP...is the SIGNAL Given For...Who?
• The Son of Man to "RETURN" to Earth.
• And WHAT does the "Son of Man" RETURN ...
WITH, that WAS NOT With Him, the First Time He Came TO Earth?
...
• Thousands of His Saints.
• The Full Power of God.
....And What IS the Full Power of God?
• It IS the Power of God, we were Foretold, we have Called Him, but Could Not See.
• The Full of POWER God...IS CHRIST.
• we have been foretold, this Jesus Is The Christ and Christ IS the Power of God...
And We have testimony of Some powers Jesus exampled to the eyes of Men...but we HAVE NOT witnessed, His Full Power to Instantly Defeat and Overcome, and have Victory Over Evil, To Destroy AND Renew the Entire Earth and Heavens.
•••
It is the "Son of Man" that was Sent to Earth.
( Not the Christ With Power)
(- less you think little baby Jesus, began his mission on his first day...instead of 30 yrs later)
It is the Son of Man with Power and Saints, that Shall Return to Earth.
(NOT The Lord TO the Clouds)
It is the Son of Man, that every inhabitant upon and under the Earth SHALL SEE.
(NOT those Converted Meeting their Lord IN the Clouds)
It is The LAST Trump that Signals The Son of Man's Return.
(Between Angels to Angels)
It is The LAST Trump of the Voice of the Seventh Angel (NOT an Archangels voice )
If you do not WHO is doing What, and WHY, and WHO is involved and WHO is not, and WHY... you will always result in a faulty Conclusion.
The Lord God Almighty IS: thee ONE God, that the Trinity attempts to explain, via the terms:
Lord- Son
God- Father
Almighty-Power
It is The Knowledge Revealed in Scripture:
Of The Umpteen Names and Titles...Expressly
Applicable To the Lord God Almighty...
FOR WHEN and WHY.
When a person ' does not KEEP ' the Scriptural Knowledge "Confined to Scriptural INTENT of When and Why"...the Understanding Becomes multiple men's, Hodge Podge of opinions, philosophies, mindful logic and personal interpretations...
And obviously WELL Known...Disagreements.
The Truth is All Revealed IN Scriptural Text.
It requires more than skimming, but rather a Diligent Effort to KEEP the Precise Names and Titles Relevant to Whom they Expressly Apply, When it is Prophecy Foretold, when the prophecy IS come to pass, What men CAN SEE or not, And Why.
And Verify Everything you Hear....men with the best intentions are still fallible men.
Glory to God,
Taken
