Revelation 14:14-16 shows Jesus on a cloud reaping believers before the bowl judgments. Compare with 1Corinthians 15:51-58.

Angels look like men (Daniel 7:13, 10:16). They can choose not to be seen (2Kings 6:17).

A spirit does not have a body. God is spirit. Satan has a spirit, he is not himself a spirit. God is Spirit (John 4:24), hence "the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15).

Satan has several epithets, such as: o. dragon (Revelation 13:13) o. serpent (Revelation 13:14, 20:2) o. הילל (Hebrew helel, Isaiah 14:12) = "shining one." o. Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12, Latin/English translation = "light bearer")

o. John 14:2-3 o. 1Corinthians 15:51-53 o. 1Thessalonians 4:15-17 o. Revelation 11:12 o. Revelation 14:16 It occurs at the seventh trumpet.

The Light noted: "Spirit is sent 50 days later on the Feast of New Wine" Bible noted: "When the day of *Pentecost* came...rushing wind...filled with the *Holy Spirit.*" (Acts 2:1-4). Yes, the seven Jewish holidays had an agricultural, civil, and religious connotation, as do American holidays...

The Light suggested: <The last trump has nothing to do with the 7th trumpet blown by an angel> Bible suggested: "For the LORD HIMSELF will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the ARCHANGEL'S CALL, and with the SOUND OF THE TRUMPET OF GOD, and the dead in Christ will rise first."...

WPM noted: <the demonic realm is all killed> IMO: Demons (i e. fallen angels) do not die, but God can obliterate them at his pleasure. The millennium is the 1000-year reign of Jesus, beginning at his return (Revelation 19:11). Satan currently roams the earth (1Peter 5:8). Christ did not...

I suppose the situation is this o There is a spiritual war going on, and the enemy is not firing blanks. o Unbelievers die, they go to hell, no second chance. o Believers die, they go to wonderful heaven, no worries. o "To live is Christ, to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21)

Jesus would not bother to haul believers away (1Thessalonians 4:16-17) if it made no difference. Jesus returns at the seventh trump, bowl judgments follow. Crunch time.

I suppose that Satan can read the Bible as well as any of us, and therefore he would get agitated as the time for Jesus's return draws bear. (Revelation 12:12).

Rev 20:1-3 Millennium, Satan and angels in pit for 1000 years. Rev 20:4. resurrection of past/present believers, spiritual bodies Rev 20:7-9 Satan and angels released, attack Jerusalem Rev 20:10 Satan and angels back in pit Rev 20:11-15 Judgement Day Rev 21...

IMO: The seven Jewish festivals point to the Messiah: 1. Passover------------------slain as a lamb 2. Unleavened bread----sinless bodily in the tomb 3. First fruits----------------first from the grave 4. Pentecost----------------sends the spirit 5. Trumpets-----------------battle cry, returns...

o. "Heaven and earth shall pass away" is noted in Revelation chapters 21,22. o. Sin corrupts the sinner and everything associated with him, hence this current creation has to go, after the millennium (Revelation, chapters 21,22). o. Jesus himself returns first to the sky to "rapture"...

I liked the expression "stark contrast," very dramatic. "Parousia" is an English rendering of Greek παρουσια = "presence/arrival."

The rapture is indicated in the following places: o. John 14:2-3 o. 1Corinthians 15:51-53 o. 1Thessalinuans 4:15-17 o. Revelation 11:12 o. Revelation 14:16 o The purpose is to spare believers from the great tribulation. o The great tribulation begins at the seventh trump (Revelation 11:15). o...

The rapture is depicted in Revelation 14:24-16, where Jesus descends to a cloud and takes up believers. The purpose is to remove believers from the coming battle (Revelation 19:11-21). See also New heavens and earth are after the millenium (Revelation chapters 21, 22).

IMO: The basic difference is that Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem. Check out Revelation chapters 19-22, it's easy reading. After the millennium will come a new heavens and earth.

Pre-Great-Tribulation Rapture is noted in o John 14:2-3 o 1Corinthians 15:51-53 o 1Thessalonians 4:15-17 o Revelation 11:2 o Revelation 14:16-21. The purpose is to remove believers from the bowl judgments (Revelation chapter16: "Great tribulation" is noted by Jesus himself in Matthew 24:21...
