When people read the bible and make a painting of the returns of Christ it's usually presented in two ways.
The rapture of 1 Thes 4:16 and the return of Jesus in Rev 19.
Why are the pictures so different? The answer is when you read scripture....they're different events.
Nonsense. Each picture tells part of the big picture of His one and only future coming. Separating them into two events make no sense. Do you think verse 10 in the following passage is a separate event from verses 7 to 9?Why are the pictures so different? The answer is when you read scripture....they're different events.
That depends on how you define the term "event". If you refer to the event of the second coming (return) of Jesus Christ then they are both part of the same event that will happen on the same day.Of course they are different events. All the same day though.
Took the words right out of my mouth again.Nonsense. Each picture tells part of the big picture of His one and only future coming. Separating them into two events make no sense. Do you think verse 10 in the following passage is a separate event from verses 7 to 9?
2 Thessalonians 1:7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
What is portrayed in both of your pictures fall within what is described in the passage above and Paul was clear that it all will happen on the same day when Jesus returns. This can be seen in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-5:4 as well.

I look at 1 Thess 4:16 below as "The Last Day" resurrection of all (The Dead In Christ Shall Rise First)When people read the bible and make a painting of the returns of Christ it's usually presented in two ways.
The rapture of 1 Thes 4:16 and the return of Jesus in Rev 19.
No....each picture depicts what the narrative is showing. Two events.Nonsense. Each picture tells part of the big picture of His one and only future coming.
