Marilyn,That was a well developed letter you wrote.For the record, I was only responding to letter regarding the early seals.I have never personally believed that teaching, nor have I ever taught that.I was responding that I had never even considered that thought.I did enjoy, though, how John B showed the rejoicing in heaven over the seals.
You are correct that there are multiple "catching aways" (raptures), i.e:First I Thessalonians 4:13-18 / Revelation 4:1-2, then Revelation 11:12, then Matthew 24:31
I have always believed that by his grace I will be there to witness Revelation 4 & 5, personally
I enjoyed reading your letter.
Thank you,Gino
