    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    John 5:24-25 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    Christ was speaking to His disciples from the Mt of Olives telling THEM that THEY should expect "great tribulation" as they proclaim His name unto all the earth. And that is exactly what faithful disciples of Christ have experienced in this world as they obediently followed the Lord's command...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    If these saints of Old have been resurrected back to life on earth in immortal bodies, how is that reconciled with what John has written in Jo 5 where he writes ALL of the dead shall be resurrected from the graves unto the resurrection of damnation, or resurrection of life? John 5:28-29 (KJV)...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    We will have glorified immortal & incorruptible body when the Lord comes again and we are caught up and changed when the last trumpet sounds. The Holy Spirit within our spirit does not give us glorified body of flesh. Through the power of the Spirit within us, our spirit leaves our dead...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    There is no question about our bodies being resurrected to life again. I would hope that we all agree every human body shall be resurrected to life again. The question is not if, but rather when?

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    The physical body of faithful saints will be immortal & incorruptible. The body we have now is mortal & corruptible returns to dust. The faithful will not be resurrected immortal & incorruptible body of flesh before the last trumpet sounds. Therefore, it makes no sense for some to argue there...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    There will be none bodily resurrected until the hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds that time shall be no longer. Then ALL, both good and evil shall be bodily resurrected, those who have done good, resurrected immortal & incorruptible. And those who have done evil resurrected to...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Yes, as each and every faithful saint physically dies, we don't all die at once but one by one in his own order. When we die we are joined together with Christ the firstfruits to wait for the fulness of the Kingdom of God to come, because that will mark the end when the last Gentile to be saved...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    Who is saying there is no resurrection of the dead? Even Paul, writing of what shall become of the saints after physical death acknowledges the bodily resurrection that shall be for the faithful saints when the last trumpet sounds. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    When do you think this prophecy shall be fulfilled? You must know by now that it cannot be after the Lord comes again to establish the Kingdom of God on THIS earth? This earth and every living thing on it shall be burned up when Christ comes the second time. Why would Christ bring His Kingdom...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    If that is true you should be able to show this from the Word of God. But you cannot, because John is given us to understand that faithful saints are still alive in heaven after physical death and are a spiritual body of believers there. Because NONE shall be bodily resurrected to life until...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Prove from the Scriptures the thousand years does not start until after the resurrection on the last day when the last trumpet sounds? 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised...

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    Do you not believe that Christ is the first resurrection, who by His life suffered the judgment of God for the sins of His people (elect)?

    When are the dead and living in Christ caught up to the Lord?

    While I agree while the saints are still alive upon this earth they suffer through "great tribulation." But the saints shall not be on the earth when the wrath of God by fire is poured out to consume the earth and every living thing upon it. The saints who have physically died shall be...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Again, should we believe what you say without bringing forth verification from the Word of God to prove what you allege? I feel the only confusion comes from those who lack spiritual discernment of the spiritual Kingdom of God that is not of this earth, is not physical and cannot be seen though...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Is this really all you have? You have no better answer? I know from what I've read from other posts from you that you have pretty good knowledge of the Bible. My fear, and what I'm beginning to assume is that you may not have spiritual knowledge or even understand the Kingdom of God is a...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Faithful saints, all who have part in the first resurrection before they die shall reign with Christ not only now during this time symbolized a thousand years, but also on the new earth. Just as John tells us. How can the martyred souls have lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    It is through the first advent of Christ that this time likened "a thousand years" began. The first resurrection and judgement came during the first century AD when there was judgement of this world and the cross and resurrection of Christ. This is what marks the beginning of "a thousand...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    It's hard to explain that which is called Amil doctrine in few words. Basically, the biblical doctrine of Amil understands time as represented in NT Scripture "a thousand years" began with the first advent of Christ, and will end when the last trumpet sounds, when this time shall be no longer...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Can you point out where you have proven the Amils replying to you that you have proven have contradicted the Word of God?
