"commentary on Isa 26:19-21"

Just a little commentary on Isa 26:19-21. Last night I was doing a little
studying from David Lowe's book Earthquake Resurrection and are these three
verses not a perfect picture of the Dead in Christ Rise first (19) , the
Rapture of the Church (20) and then the Tribulation (21). There is no
better Chronological picture of how the Church will not go through the
tribulation. And if you jump over to the New Testament, it is confirmed
with Paul's letter to the Thessalonians. Now, the big question is, how much
longer will God's patience hold?
Compare Isa to 1Th, again the chronological order is confirmed. And after
chapter 4 starting immediately at chapter 5 Paul talks about the start of
the tribulation. What is interesting is that when they say "Peace and
Safety". Is that not what they want now and what they think they are going
to get?

|Isaiah 26: 1 Thessalonians

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. 1 Thess 5:1-3
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
