You writing out impossible things here, Why don't you face your error from post #590, as I pointed out to the forum participants.

The resurrection is when the dead in Christ rise first, and that is on the last day.
You probably need to study the Feasts of God which are a shadow of what is to come.

The dead in Christ will rise before the great tribulation at the trump of God or voice of God. It will be like the days of Noah. The Lord Himself will come. 1 Thes 4

Those of the 12 tribes across the earth will be raptured before the wrath of God at the last trump which is blown on the Feast of Trumpets. It will be like the Days of Lot. The Lord will send His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. 1 Cor 15

So there can be no more days left for this world after the coming of the Lord for another gathering off the earth.
As I have shown many times. The signs in the sun, moon and stars mark the coming of Jesus for the gathering from heaven and earth at the 6th seal.

The wrath of God........the 7th seal, is yet to happen.

Paul specifically wrote 1 Thess 4 to emphasize that no one of the saints is left behind, we who are left alive do not precede those who died in the Lord, the dead are not forgotten.

The dead in Christ will rise first, as they are dead, this must be their resurrection.
Then we will be taken up into the air, and all of us will be changed.
All this happens on the last day.
The last day of the age is the 6th seal. It is marked by the signs of the sun, moon and stars.

There are two raptures. The fullness of the Gentiles is the first rapture. The twelve tribes across the earth are second rapture which occurs at the 6th seal.

By what you are saying you do not agree with Christ's words.
The resurrection is at the Last Day
You're just making up stories then. Why should you even believe your own words?

When Christ returns is the LAST DAY
It is also the resurrection of all people saved or unsaved and the judgement
His appearing is the return of Christ when every eye will see Him.

Example
I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

You don't seem to believe this occurs on the LAST DAY of this world.
You seem to believe there are many more days left of this world after the LAST DAY

Do you even believe that there is a Last Day?
And 'Last Day' is not Last Days, there is a big difference.
Not only does he have more days occurring after the last day, he also has more trumpets sounding after the last trumpet. Makes me wonder how he defines the word "last". Not how it is defined in any dictionary, that's for sure.

According to Jesus, this age is when people get married and they die and the age to come is when people will no longer get married or die (Luke 20:34-36). So, why do you have people still getting married and dying after the last day of the age?

As for two raptures...LOL! That is not taught in scripture at all. You are so desperate for that to be true, that you are willing to twist and butcher 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 to make it fit that false belief. Why would there even be two raptures when there is only one people of God, one body of Christ? Your doctrine makes no sense whatsoever.

and I will raise him up at the last day.

The promise of resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian hope. Jesus assures believers of their future resurrection, which is a physical and bodily resurrection at the end of the age. This promise is reiterated in John 6:39, 44, and 54, emphasizing the certainty and assurance of this future event.

The "last day" refers to the eschatological culmination of history, when Christ will return, as described in passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and Revelation 20:12-13. This resurrection is part of the broader biblical narrative of redemption and restoration.

Certainly, this is what is commonly taught. Now let's get to the facts. The dead in Christ rise first in the spring. This is the barley harvest. The alive remain. When the Lord returns for the alive the remain at the end of summer He will bring the dead in Christ with Him. The end of summer harvest for the that remain is the wheat harvest.

Then the Lord will return for the fruit harvest in the fall. There are two raptures.
LOL! "The alive remain"? LOL. That is not what Paul said at all. Why are you twisting what he said? He said that those who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who are asleep (dead) in Christ. Which means those who are alive and remain until His coming will not be caught up before the dead in Christ are. They will all be caught up together at the same time, according to Paul. Why are you willing to twist and manipulate God's holy word just to support your false theory? You have to resort to butchering the text in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 to make it fit your doctrine. Do you have no shame?

Christ will return at the 6th seal. All eyes will see the coming of the Lord. If you don't have simple deductive reasoning abilities, you may not be able to understand what happens in the coming of Jesus in Matthew 24 occurs at the 6th seal. It's marked clearly in blue by the sings of the sun, moon and stars.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth
, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Example
I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

You don't seem to believe this occurs on the LAST DAY of this world.
As we can clearly see in scripture. The LAST DAY is the end of the age. That occurs at the 6th seal..........PERIOD.

2 Timothy 4
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

The dead will be judged at His appearing. That occurs at the 6th seal. The kings of the earth and the rich are saying to mountains and rocks to fall on them.............Jesus is in the clouds.........He has appeared. All on earth mourn.

He also judges the dead after the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord. The occurs at the 7th trumpet.

Revelation 11
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

You seem to believe there are many more days left of this world after the LAST DAY
The last day of the age occurs at the 6th seal. It is clearly marked by the sings of the sun, moon and stars. I don't know how you can miss it.

Yes. The last day of the age occurs at the 6th seal.

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances​

Rev 6
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

~~~~~~~~~~~
A perfect example of how the book of Revelation is not progressive linear time.
The events of Rev 6 is the end of the world on the 'Last Day' and after this we get new earth and new heavens
Just look at what is happening here to the earth, it is being dissolved
The description here of reality being dissolved, I would have no qualms that it could happen just as it is written, or that it could just be symbolic of the coming fiery destruction of the wicked.

Revelation scriptures after this go into details of earlier events.
People seem to read Revelation like it is a movie in time from start to finish, but it is not like that.
It is a collection of visions regarding various events to come and has many symbolic illustrations.

The last day of the age occurs at the 6th seal. Who on the earth do I say is getting married.
You have more days occurring after the last day of the age even though the last day of the age is the last day of history. The last day that there ever will be. You obviously have no idea of what I was referring to, so let me show you.

Luke 20:34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

This age is the temporal age during which people get married and they die. It will last up until the time of the resurrection of the dead at which point no one will get married and no one will die anymore. But, you have people still getting married and still dying after the last day of the age which contradicts what Jesus taught about this age.

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Those who reject Jesus will be judged when the last day comes. Do you have those who reject Jesus being judged before Jesus returns? Jesus Himself taught that they will be judged when He returns (Matthew 25:31-46), so the last day is the day He returns. That is when the dead will be resurrected and then judged.

And the blind tell me what they see.
Says the blind man who thinks there will be two raptures.

When Christ returns, like as at the 6th seal describes is the sudden destruction of this world

The Day of the Lord​

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

But after this destruction, there will be no more days left for the old earth, or anything to happen on the old earth, because we get a new earth.
The old earth and old heavens pass away with a great noise.

Of course, Revelation is a collection of visions.

However, there is one thing we can be sure of. The 7 seals happen in order. The first 6 seals line up perfectly with what Jesus tells us in Matthew 24.
The first four seal are the beginning of sorrows in Matthew 24.
The fifth seal is the great tribulation
The 6th seal is the coming of Jesus for a harvest, which is the gathering from heaven and earth.

All this lines up perfectly. Jesus does not tell us about the 7th seal in Matthew 24.
The 7th seal is the wrath of God.
The trumpets and vials occur in the 7th seal. They happen in this order 1st trumpet, 1st vial, 2nd trumpet, 2nd vial etc.

He obviously returns more than once.

Says the blind man who thinks there will be two raptures.
Certainly there are two raptures.

The fig tree has two harvests. FACT
First the fullness of the Gentiles, then 144,000 first fruits, then the second harvest.
One coming the Lord Himself comes, one coming He sends His angels.
One coming at the trump of God or voice of God and one coming at the last trump blown of the Feast of Trumpets.
One coming when it's like the days of Noah, likewise also, one coming when it's like the days of Lot.
2 folds of John 10 become one-fold, the great multitude.
Grain harvest, fruit harvest.
Simple enough.

Major problem.

The 6th seal is not the Day of the Lord.

The day of the Lord happens towards the end of the 7th seal.

He only comes a second time, that is obviously the apostle's doctrine.
Any other comings people might think up are just not written as such in scripture, so they do not count.

Specifically, that second time is also called His appearing, as does Peter in saying God will send Christ whom heaven must receive until the restoration of all things. Meaning Christ only comes back once as until that time He MUST remain in heaven.
Any other returns are just speculation, so why make up stuff?

Hebrews 9
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be [j]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [k]copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Acts 3

16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send [c]Jesus Christ, who was [d]preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since [e]the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also [f]foretold these days. 25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

Do people marry after the Church enters the ark?
What kind of question is this and how does it relate to what I said about this age and the age to come?

He obviously returns more than once.
LOL. Obviously not.

Certainly there are two raptures.
Certainly not. You try to make two raptures out of one with your ridiculous twisting and manipulating of the text in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 which shows that you can't be taken seriously at all.

The fig tree has two harvests. FACT
First the fullness of the Gentiles, then 144,000 first fruits, then the second harvest.
One coming the Lord Himself comes, one coming He sends His angels.
One coming at the trump of God or voice of God and one coming at the last trump blown of the Feast of Trumpets.
One coming when it's like the days of Noah, likewise also, one coming when it's like the days of Lot.
2 folds of John 10 become one-fold, the great multitude.
Grain harvest, fruit harvest.
Simple enough.

Major problem.

The 6th seal is not the Day of the Lord.

The day of the Lord happens towards the end of the 7th seal.
The major problem is what you are saying about the end.

I can make logical connections in scripture, Jesus says He raises the dead on the Last Day (1 Thess 4, etc...), as is also the judgement of the living and the dead on the last day.
Jesus comes as a thief in the night.

And we KNOW from 2 Thessalonians 1 that when Jesus returns, the world of the unrighteous burns in a consuming fire due to Him taking vengeance on His enemies.

6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you, 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 [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

The day of the Lord happens towards the end of the 7th seal.
The 7th seal is half an hour of silence in heaven. So, I guess you mean towards the end of the half hour of silence in heaven the day of the Lord happens?
