Hi Doves

 

1 Cr 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

 

Does 1 Cr 15:20 pertain to those who died throughout the ages before Christ's crucifixion and the establishment of the Church (Pre-Church).

Does Rom 8:23 pertain to those who have died since Christ's crucifixion the establishment of the Church by the power of the Holy Spirit (Post-Church).

 

If there is truly a difference between these two firstfruits, should there be a difference between the Firstfruits Harvest of the Church (5 Wise Virgins) and the Main Harvest of the Church (5 Foolish Virgins) as far as the timing? Or is there simple just going to be one Harvest (Rapture)? Are we all checking out at the same time?

 

Thanks

Robert
