You see that's the problem with this corrupt teaching.
Don't really AI to teach, when you possess the Holy Spirit. However, given AI can scan the Bible and a million commentaries_ from Spirit -filled scholars, analayse and summarize and deliver a concise answer in seconds, I'd choose Grok's answer over yours and many other's in this forum.
People are left behind after the rapture AND some who were on the fence about Christ will not take the mark of the Beast.
Here are several dilemmas to sort out - depending on which view one has:
Pre-Trib: If all Christians were raptured prior to the GT, why does the Bible warn those left behind not to take the mark? And it does not say that all take it.
Mid-Trib and Post -Trib: If the elect only have the one chance to receive salvation and that is before His return and before the last trumpet, ( implying that all those left behind will die),
who will repopulate the earth in the Millennial Kingdom???
Here's the answer that proves some elect will be left behind and survive.
Not us. Resurrected eternal bodies do not procreate.
"Blessed are those who reach day 1335.( Dan. 12:12) Is that verse applied to the raptured church? No, heres why. All Christians are blessed long before that day. I think this blessing is for those mortals who lived through the entire Great Tribulation, because they will
enter into the Millennial Kingdom.
As in
Isaiah 11:8 in paradise reborn,
babies will be born and death still exists, but people will live to old ages like before the flood ( Isaiah 65:20). So mortals will repopulate earth for 1000 years, then another test comes. Therefore, some elect will be left behind and I'm thinking many Jews, when every eye sees Him, they will mourn and this of course means the Rapture already happened.
Amillennial view: There are lots of problems with this view and of you are one of them, I usually pass on debating the subject. But for one you'd have a real hard time harmonizing the above Isaiah scriptures.
For once everyone is resurrected, there will be no more procreation. Amillennials symbolize much of what should be taken literally.
Here is another point -
there will be a 2nd resurrection and that one will include all those who died in Christ after the Rapture and throughout the 1000 years.
. If ya'll aren't part of the rapture, hold on, there's a second chance.
Throughout a person's life how many times are they called, how many invitations, witnesses who shared the gospel to them ... how many opportunities were given? Just once?
But the GT is quite different.
It is not a joy ride at Disneyland - "If you miss the train on the Pirates of the Caribbean., you can catch the next one."
You miss and you must suffer and likely die trying to survive hell on earth.
The BIBLE teaches in many places that the second time Jesus Christ comes, it's not going to be a quick appearance in heaven to snatch people in the air. It will be FOR JUDGMENT IN THE LAST DAY OF THIS WORLD.
Well, I am not one who holds the view that Jesus raptures the Church and seven years later comes for judgment - that is. Pre-Trib view. I believe He comes and the trumpet is blown then moments later every eye sees him and He brings judgment.
