I believe most people get the rapture mixed up with the "FIRST" resurrection.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
now if the rapture takes place "BEFORE" the Lord returnes in a physical body, that's three coming. because at the resurrection the dead in Christ, who rise first, and if he takes everyone that's his as many say back to heaven, then two questions remain.
#1. who is he reigning with him in the Holy City? scripture,
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
ok, if "SAINTS" are in the city, how are they in Heaven if with the Lord?
#2. if the Lord come and raptures the church as many say. then he come and raise the dead and change the living, (which is the FIRST RESURRECTION), that's two coming already, (which the bible don't support). and then go back to heaven and return to fight the battle of armageddon at the second resurrection, that's three coming.
so something has to give.
