How can dead Christians be Raptured at the start of the tribulation??    This is proof we are not until Jesus Christ returns.  See below

 

 

Death destroyed at the resurrection. 

 

 

 

1st Crn 15:21   For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.

 

 

1st Crn 15:22    For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

 

 

1st Crn 15:23    But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's  ------    at his coming.

 

They that are Christs,  =  Are Christians.  They are resurrected  -----  at his coming. 

 

1st   Crn 15:24    Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have  ------ delivered up the kingdom  ------    to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 

Jesus Christ returns to resurrect  the dead, (( at his coming,))  When He Delivers Up the kingdom to GOD.   Delivers up means to resurrect, or the resurrection.

 

When he shall have put down all rule and authority -----  This is clearly echoed in   Daniel 7:22   Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

 

1st Crn 15: 25    For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

 

 

1st Crn 15:26   The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

 

Amen,  Death is destroyed at the resurrection.

 

 

John 11:25 ,26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

 

 

2nd Timothy 4:1     I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at*  ------ ( His appearing ) and His kingdom:

 

GOD BLESS. T.J.
